Switching to Full RSS Feed

Posted by Marios Alexandrou, SEO Resume.

Just a heads up to my 5250 subscribers (number has been rounded up, way up) that I have switched my RSS feed to display the entire contents of the post rather than a snippet. Note that this change may make your reader mark all my posts as new. Sorry about that!

Why the switch? Well I figure that joining the likes of Amit Agarwal, Darren Rowse, Robert Scoble, and Nick Wilson is not a bad group to be part of. These are bloggers that have huge subscribers and so their insight is certainly worth considering.

Will this change make a difference from an SEO perspective? We'll see.

I've recently done the same, seems quite a few people liked it when I did, and I like that you did it
Cormac Moylan says:

I absolutely hate blogs that don't have full RSS. I understand that some blogs and sites are pushing for the click through from user's RSS readers due to ad tracking and impressions and what not but if your blog doesn't use advertisements then why not go full RSS?

Good move Mario

I agree that full feeds are better, I'm just too lazy to click through to read more than a summary unless I've already decided to comment by just reading the first however many lines.
Logan says:

I am torn with full vs summary rss feeds. I personally would like people to not just read posts on my site in their RSS reader but click through. I hope that people who come to my site for one topic will be intriged to browse around and read other parts of my site.

I am also scared that people will create sites that just read my HOT content from my RSS and people will never know it was mine.

With all that being said, it is nice to read all the articles from sites I subscribe to all in one reader.
