Why do people submit RSS feeds? Surely there must be reasons behind  them doing so faithfully. Webmasters submit RSS  feeds when they update their website with new web pages or build new websites, while companies do so when  new products enter the market. The one sole purpose is to drive traffic, or get visitors to their  websites.
Where does the traffic  come from? We need to understand how RSS feeds  work so as to
appreciate the whole mechanism of deriving traffic. RSS is simply put, Really  Simple Syndication and in XML format. These are files that need to be parsed or  read using aggregators or RSS readers.
Before you get drown in a complex myriad of terminology, I will explain things in simple digestible language. RSS feeds essentially displays news or content that refreshes and updates itself whenever the source is updated. Try to imagine that your website is a TV set, and each TV channel is an RSS feed. Each time the channel changes, we see a different image or content on your TV. The same goes for RSS feeds.
People use feeds to convey  messages and bring news about finance, stocks, weather,
entertainment,  latest product reviews, shopping discounts etc to targeted audience. Webmasters  can submit RSS feeds to RSS feed directories for free. Such an activity  brings significant benefits:
1. Content  Syndication
Webmasters are  always hungry for unique content. RSS  feeds are useful for content management and because content delivery is  instantaneous without the need to dabble with and modify their web pages, it’s  the choice content source of many websites today. They essentially find their  feeds at RSS feed directories, either in  general or niche topics. This is one main reason why it makes perfect sense to  deposit or submit RSS feeds to these  directories. Envisage the kind of traffic  your website would receive if your feed is published on other websites in the  same theme as yours.
2. Link Popularity
