SEO Click Through BankI wrote an orthodontic marketing  video post for you a few months ago on "What is RSS?"

I would like you to read the post or watch the video again, but consider it from a different light.  In October I was training on what is RSS.  Today lets talk about how an RSS feed helps the SEO of your Blog.

When subscribers are notified in their RSS reader you just added a blog post and they click on your links to the site to read the post,  it increases your click through rate!

Blog or Not to BlogWhen considering the Internet as a marketing tool in your orthodontic marketing plan as a professional service provider, you may find it difficult to see how a blog can help you sell your services.  The online world tends to refer to selling products as something digital or physical in nature.

What is RSS?   Did you know that according to Marketing Sherpa, there were are at least 75 million consumers and business personnel in the USA and UK who use RSS on a regular basis?  It is growing every day.

But, depending on which study’s stats you believe, only 17%-32% of RSS users actually know they’re using RSS!  That means that roughly 50 million regular RSS users would say, “Huh?” if asked “what does RSS mean?”

FTCThe Federal Trade Commission  (FTC) is finally stepping up to the plate and making a concerted effort to regulate Blogging on the Internet.  This is a pretty big deal for the blogging community, especially if your Internet marketing program includes blogging, patient testimonials, and video. This very post is now being held to a certain set of standards.  Just like HIPPA, the guidelines are vague and largely unenforceable, but at least standards are being set.
