Feed Tag Tips

April 6th, 2011 Brad No comments

Tagging your feed is one of the most important things when submitting a feed. Because tags make up our navigation, tagging your feed correctly is vital to enable our visitors to find your feed.  The best performing feeds on FeedAgg are feeds that tag their feeds with detailed tags related to their feeds but also tags that cover the base or root topic of their feed.

For example, take a feed related to high performance sport cars like the Audi R8. Not only would you want to include tags related to the car like “audi r8″ and “audi sports car”, but also tags like auto and car. These more generic tags help in better categorizing your feed so it can find the best fit and widest audience.

Feed Content Tips

March 30th, 2011 Brad No comments

Many people wonder what the best visited feeds have in common and it comes down to this: great content and plenty of it.

In general our best feeds have content that consists of multiple items(posts) in the feed.  This content is well written and is unique to that feed and it is all on topic to the tags and content.

What these feeds don’t have is:

  • Repeating feed items at the end linking to the same sites that you linked to in 50 other feed submissions.
  • A feed full of broken html and javascript
  • 1 50 word feed post in the entire feed.
  • Poor grammar.

In fact these problem feeds are turning into such large problems we are in the process of working to ban them all together.
