RSS Feeds: An Easy Example

If you have read my recent article, “Traffic Boosting via RSS,” you’re probably considering how best to implement a working RSS feed to promote your website – a process which isn't as technically daunting as one might expect.

For example, the following code, saved as a file named “feed.xml” and then uploaded to, and linked from, your website, will provide visitors with a valid RSS 2.0 news feed, letting them know about your most current updates and providing a permanent link directly to this new content.

Simply update the information on the example as required and upload: [code] The title of your feed A short, keyword-rich feed description https://www.domain.com Mon, 14 Aug 2006 00:00:00 PST (C) 2006 Company Name webmaster@domain.com (Your Name) Today's Update Here's today's upate https://www.domain.com/url/ [/code]

Whenever you add another update to your member’s area, update this page and your feed’s subscribers will know that you’re now offering something fresh for them to enjoy. This is a great tool for keeping members satisfied and thus increasing retention.

How Adult Businesses Can Navigate Global Compliance Demands

The internet has made the world feel small. Case in point: Adult websites based in the U.S. are now getting letters from regulators demanding compliance with foreign laws, even if they don’t operate in those countries. Meanwhile, some U.S. website operators dealing with the patchwork of state-level age verification laws have considered incorporating offshore in the hopes of avoiding these new obligations — but even operators with no physical presence in the U.S. have been sued or threatened with claims for not following state AV laws.

This has been especially noticeable in the U.S. In fact, one of our acquirers now declines new merchants during onboarding if an opt-out flow is detected. Existing merchants submitting new URLs with opt-out cross-sales are being asked to remove them.
