RSS Feeds - How do I get people to subscribe to my feeds without having to go to my site first?

I understand that if I add RSS buttons to my site, people who visit my site can subscribe to the RSS and read it in their reader - But, how do people find out about my feeds without knowing about my site first.... Where do I submit my feeds so people can find it by typing in keywords about topics they are interested in?





I want to use the RSS to promote my site and content for those who don't know about my site in the first place.





I believe Yahoo and Google have pages to submit my RSS feeds to so people can access them through their MyYahoo or iGoogle, but are there others - and how do people find it with keywords?

Hi,


There are *tons* of feed directories and search engines. Some are small and vertical like:





Medical Feeds - http://www.medical-feeds.com


Sports Feeds - http://www.sports-feeds.com


Realty Feeds - http://www.realty-feeds.net/





While others are more generic and accept feeds on any topic. I find the best list of places to submit feeds is on RSS Specifications - http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-su...





Use the above list for manuel submissions. If you are looking for software to assist you with the process consider RSS Submit by Dummy Software - http://www.dummysoftware.com/rsssubmit.h...





Keep in mind when submitting your RSS feed, most feed directories will ask for the URL of the feed, they extract keywords from your Channel Title and Description so they should be keyword rich without being spammy!





Additionally make sure that you are using "auto-discovery" code on your website, that will help users using many RSS readers "automatically" know you have an RSS feed available for the content. FeedForAll has a free tool to help with the code - http://www.feedforall.com/autodiscovery....





Goodluck
