Coupons and
discounts.
This is one of the most popular ways of using RSS. There are even
specialized RSS-aggregators that accumulate all discount offers from
various shops and distribute this information using RSS feeds – among
them are CouponBar,
All Online Couponsand CouponClock.
Such sites export the entire line into RSS.
Affiliate
programs.
You can distribute information about coupons and discounts not only
through specialized aggregators but also through your own RSS feed,
which you can promote using affiliate websites (they can get per-click
revenue). By the way, this can be used to distribute any information –
not only about discounts, but also company news, product updates etc. If
your RSS feeds appear at affiliate websites, your page rank will grow,
thus securing you better position in search engine results.
PR.
All major hi-tech companies have already began distributing their
press-releases using RSS. Among them are Microsoft, Google, IBM, Apple
etc.
New product
information.
Many companies now begin to distribute information about price list
updates as well as various company news using RSS.
Private
advertisements.
Position of RSS in this field already starts to threaten American
newspapers and specialized job sites. It is likely that in the future
RSS will be used to distribute information about apartment rentals,
buying or selling goods as well as other private advertisements.
Branded
content.
If your company is specializing in some field, you can open a
specialized RSS feed.
Prospects of RSS
are understood even by financiers. By the way, a couple of days ago a
$100,000,000 investment fund was created for investing in RSS
technologies. After RSS becomes officially supported by Windows, the
format will become a de facto standard for distributing information.
