Full feed or excerpts : What to chose for your Rss readers ?
Do you offer a full feed or excerpts to your Rss readers ?
1. Why visitors subscribe to your feed
I think there's three big reasons which persuade a visitor to become a Rss reader of your blog ( if you know another one, add it on comments):
- He doesn't to miss updates of your intersting blog
- He wants to have all his favorites’ blogs in the same place instead of checking out all bookmarks
- He doesn't want to see all the ads you put in your blog
2. The common behavior of Rss readers
The best answer to this question comes from Bob Jones who said about common behavior of Rss readers that :
People that read a blog in their RSS readers don’t actually read my stuff half of the time. They scan and skip.
People that read a blog in their RSS readers don’t see any ads I have on my site. Advertisers don’t get enough ROI and stop advertising.
People that read a blog in their RSS readers hardly ever feel the need to engage in the comments. They read your post and move on.
People that read a blog in their RSS reader do not contribute to your page view statistics, making it harder for you to sell space to advertisers at a good price.
Some people can will steal and copy your content. They are called scrapers, and we all hate them. They don’t care.
With all these infos in your hands, I think you can now make chose if you want to offer a full feed or just excerpts to your Rss readers.
