Full-Text RSS Feeds!!!!!

I have written about full-text RSS feeds before. But, I must vent. There is nothing that is more troubling than reading my RSS feeds that come into my feeder and I am expected to “click” on the title so I can actually read it.

There is no solid research out there that says your traffic will decrease if you are providing full-text RSS feeds. In fact, I have to say as an experienced blogger, I usually don't read a post if I don't get to read it in my RSS feeder. I very seldom go to a blog to read “the rest of the story”.

For example, some of the “big boys” provide full-text RSS feeds. They include:

seomoz.org

ProBlogger

Web Worker Daily

Web Ink Now

CopyBlogger

Kevin O’Keefe

I would venture to guess none of the above have seen a decrease in traffic since they offer full-text RSS feeds. Get with it people, offer full-text RSS feeds. It is just a matter of setting it in your blogs preferences. And you never know, your traffic might actually increase. Your Trackbacks might increase. And the commenting on your blog may increase too.
