No RSS. No Problem. Create RSS Feeds for Sites that Don’t Have One.

No RSS. No Problem. Create RSS feeds for websites that don't have one.How many times have you found a great website with great content that you wanted to follow, but the website has no RSS feed. I know, I know. It is amazing to me that any bloggy website that is trying to attract followers would not have an RSS feed. But it happens.

Some website owners are simply unaware of what RSS is–others are trying to force you to sign-up for an email newsletter or some other program when all your really want is the facts.

Well, I stumbled upon a great solution. FeedYes is a very simple-to-use and free tool that allows you to create RSS feeds from any URL. I highly recommend that you create an account and have it ready the next time you stumble upon a website that is worth your attention–who knows when you will ever find it again. Don’t make that mistake. Simply use FeedYes to create the feed and add it to your reader.

    This is a good strategy to use if you don’t have an RSS feed on your site, but also the links won’t be pointing to your site because they’ll be pointing to FeedYes.

    Of course, the new feature added to the Google Reader also allows you to do this.

    Plus you get the added bonus of having Google watching your static content closely.
