RSS Teasers FAIL To Please
Nobody likes a tease, right? OK, maybe sometimes and for short periods of time, sure, everyone likes a good tease. Maybe it can be attributed to spicing up ones life. But if you think for a second you can get away with teasing RSS subscribers back to an HTML-laden website, get ready for them never reading your content again.
For those who rely heavily on picking up web content through RSS [like me], there’s little time for websites anymore. My first thought when I see a teaser feed is — feel lucky if that teaser drives even one person back to the main site — and better luck yet if you can ever track and prove that it actually does.
