What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a technology that is being used by millions of web users around the world to keep track of their favorite websites. In the ‘old days’ of the web to keep track of updates on a website you had to ‘bookmark’ websites in your browser and manually return to them on a regular basis to see what had been added.
History of RSS Feed
The name “RSS” is an umbrella term for a format that spans several different versions of at least two different (but parallel) formats. The original RSS, version 0.90, was designed by Netscape as a format for building portals of headlines to mainstream news sites. It was deemed overly complex for its goals; a simpler version, 0.91, was proposed and subsequently dropped when Netscape lost interest in the portal-making business. But 0.91 was picked up by another vendor, UserLand Software, which intended to use it as the basis of its web-logging products and other web-based writing software.
In the meantime, a third, non-commercial group split off and designed a new format based on what they perceived as the original guiding principles of RSS 0.90 (before it got simplified into 0.91). This format, which is based on RDF, is called RSS 1.0. But UserLand was not involved in designing this new format, and, as an advocate of simplifying 0.90, it was not happy when RSS 1.0 was announced. Instead of accepting RSS 1.0, UserLand continued to evolve the 0.9x branch, through versions 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, and finally 2.0.
How does RSS work?
RSS works by having the website author maintain a list of notifications on their website in a standard way. This list of notifications is called an “RSS Feed”. People who are interested in finding out the latest headlines or changes can check this list. Special computer programs called “RSS aggregators” have been developed that automatically access the RSS feeds of websites you care about on your behalf and organize the results for you. (RSS feeds and aggregators are also sometimes called “RSS Channels” and “RSS Readers”.)
Producing an RSS feed is very simple and hundreds of thousands of websites now provide this feature, including major news organizations like the New York Times, the BBC, and Reuters, as well as many weblogs. RSS has become an integral part of internet marketing.

There are three traditional ways to earn money through affiliation in online marketing:
Pay Per Click —
The pricing mechanism used by any company’s online marketing department is to charge an advertiser when each time the end user clicks on the advertiser’s ad. This rate is commonly set by the advertiser not by the channel. Each time a potential customer leaves the affiliate website by clicking on the link reading the affiliate’s website, that time a certain amount of money is accumulated in affiliate’s account. This whole earning depends upon the product and amount of the commission. Online marketing depts. usually charge the fixed price per click. This approach is distinguished from pay per impression methods used in media advertising like TV and newspaper.
Pay Per Sale —
Each single time sale is made as an aftereffect of the advertisement of the affiliate’s website, and then a pre-decided affiliate’s commission is transferred to the affiliate’s account. Pay per sale is also called as cost per sale which is an online marketing pricing system where the affiliates gets paid as per the number of sales which is directly generated by the hosted banners as advertisements. In pay per sale agreement the advertiser only pays for sales generated by the site based on an agreement upon agreed commission rates. In an online marketing industry this feature is common.
Pay Per Lead —
In online marketing, for pay per lead, payment is only done for the leads which are being generated at the destination site. This is approximately same as PPS but in this one gets paid for the leads instead of sales. This is somewhat uncommon commission method but it frequently applies to distinct divisions of affiliate programs. The actual benefit of the pay per lead is that you will have the potential clients’ name and email addresses which will enhance the business expansion.

How Pay Per Click Works
Pay per click is fundamentally nothing other than paying for website traffic through advertising within a search engine. Pay Per Click or PPC is an online advertising arrangement that lets you to buy your way to the top of search results pages for search phrases that are pertinent to your business. Businesses buy advertising on specific search phrases, and are then charged a fee each time someone clicks through to their website Advertisers are charged for each time a visitor clicks on their advertisement and enters their website.
Pay-per-click advertising is enormously widespread (and immensely popular) on the internet. The big players in the search engine domain like Google and Yahoo, support pay-per-click advertising. This has helped the ads to stretch to different areas of the internet, so that they become visible on pages that receive loads of traffic all across the Internet.
Pay per click advertising is one of the most outstanding ways to attract a targeted bunch of visitors to your website. An advertiser who has a website about auto spares for instance won’t be sent visitors after cars. More often than not you can procure pay per click advertising for as little as a few cents per click depending on the search term, which could add up to big profits from sales.
PPC advertising is capable of supplying instant traffic to your website. Once your account has been set-up, the results are visible almost instantly. in addition, if you are ready to outbid the competition, you are more or less guaranteed a top position of course, taking into consideration that you have a decent ad and the landing page is relevant. With standard search engines, nothing is certain. It may take months for your site to get listed, and when it does get listed, it may be buried so far line that nobody may even see it.

Pay Per Click businesses have become furthermore refined, providing superior account features that enable you to decide on which countries you want your ads displayed in and in which language. There are also more companies to help you handle your PPC campaigns across multiple engines.

As an example, some companies bill you with an amount depending on the number of clicks that have been completed and your site has been visited by those many people, other companies might ask you for a sum of money to be paid in advance. But if you look at it from another point of view, you will see that the companies that charge you an advance fee do not have the initial set-up fee that is levied upon you by the companies that only charge you for the number of clicks that have been completed.
