Service benefits

This page outlines the benefits of creating your news feeds using the Web Feed Generator. If you're a newcomer to news feed technology, our news feed benefits page explains why more and more people build an RSS news feed into their Web site promotion plans.

Practical benefits

• No extra work
  Update your site and your news feeds refresh automatically. You do not have to put any extra work in, but you will find that your news feeds start to raise interest in your site. Expansion is an option.
• Works with standard Web pages
  If your Web pages are standard HTML with paragraphs and headings, they should work with the Web Feed Generator without modification. The Web Feed Generator has advanced features that you can activate by making slight changes to your page template, but you can progress at your own pace.
• Manage multiple sites
  The Web Feed Generator enables you to create and manage any number of feeds across multiple sites through one service account. The configuration system lets you switch feeds on and off, cancel individual sites or your whole account so you can deliver fixed-period promotions.

Does it work with your set up?

• Our system requirements are absolutely minimal.

Technical benefits

• Proof of concept
  Some customers find it difficult to introduce new technology to their business because it is difficult to explain the benefits to senior management. Often it is easier to just do it and explain why later. The Web Feed Generator allows you to demonstrate the benefits of running a news feed without major investment or long-term commitments.
• No new skills or hardware
  You do not need specialist staff to use the Web Feed Generator. You do not need to invest in new hardware, software, technical skills or maintenance. However you update your site now stays the same.
• No server side scripts or databases
  Some customers have limited access to their Web server or may have security concerns about running third party scripts on their systems. The Web Feed Generator does not require installation, configuration changes or special access to your Web server.
