Learn how to get your RSS Reader to visit your Blog. Doing that you can increase your Pageviews with quality visits, and earn more from the new set of visitors.
High number of RSS Readers denotes the Blog Authority. It states that the Blog has a long list of followers who constantly read the articles published here. However, there is a big disadvantage when it comes to the RSS Reader. It seriously limits your earning potential and decreases pages views from returning visitors. Also RSS Ads have proved to convert very poorly. Even though you would not want to lose your RSS Readers, often you would like them to visit your Blog. Let’s try how to accomplish this task.
1. Deliver only Excerpts via RSS
Probably the best way to bring your RSS Readers to your Blog is to provide them only with Post Excerpts. This way you almost gaurantee their visit to your Blog. However, it comes at a price. It may happen that your content in the Title and the Excerpts is not great and thus results in the Readers to ignore it altogether.
2. Link to other Post
Another sure shot way to get your Subscriber to your Blog is to link Content to previous post or other Parts of your Blog. This way if the RSS Subscriber wants to know more, will have to read the link, which in turn will take it to the Blog.
3. Write Content People want to Tweet or Bookmark
Write post which contains useful links and resources which people would like to Tweet or Share with other people. Although this is not common for a Text only post, unless you are a great writer, it would certianly work with posts containing lots of Links to sueful resources. It is a general tendency for people to open your post in the Browser to Bookmark and Share.
4. Redesign the Blog, change Theme or Layout
Redesign the Blog by changing the Theme or the Layout or add a Category to the Page Menu. Then write about it. Since the content are not available in the RSS Reader, it will cause them to visit your Blog and check it out. Do not use this trick too often as it might be irritating for the RSS Readers.
5. Encourage Reader to post Comments
Finally write an awesome post and encourage your readers to comment on it. You can also try with asking an open ended question and asking for views. This would encourage the Subscribers to visit your Blog and comment on it, to build a discussion.

Nice information and nice to see you friend. I will come to your blog more often.
Visit My Blog too friends.
I am thinking exactly like you hehe, even have contemplated on removing RSS from my blog mostly because i do not like trackbacks… not sure why, maybe its because they automatically cut out a piece of my content… even if they give me linkbacks i kinda do not like it since they have not asked you first and they just copy your content =\
One other good point is with the ad conversion as well… eventho i do not use ads on my blog i can see it becoming a big problem for the people who earn from blogging…
this post has answered all my questions. thanks for sharing your valuable tips.
Great Post, I am really impressed, keep it up, I will wait for your future posts.
Great description on how to leverage RSS for traffic.
However, RSS makes even more sense for bloggers because of the Search Engine Optimization benefit.
RSS feeds get syndicated in various places around the internet, and this creates some link backs to your site.
You can also use a WordPress plugin called RSS footer, which adds a link to your homepage in the RSS excerpts. The idea here is that when scrapers post your excerpts on their sites, they will automatically link to you.
All in all RSS is a powerful tool in the blogger’s arsenal.
Best,
