The Top Five Reasons Why It's 'RSS or DIE' "RSS" stands for "Really Simple Syndication." In a nutshell, it is the technology that is enabling blogs, podcasts, and all major online news rooms. RSS is rapidly displacing email and Web sites as the preferred method for distributing online content. However, although the syndication technology may indeed be "simple," highly effective RSS deployments are not. Success hinges on a careful re-thinking of content channels and marketing strategies. To get RSS right the first time, companies need to understand the basic paradigm shift it represents, and how they should integrate it with overall corporate marketing and PR communications.

A Note to Readers
Fresh Classics This week's MarketingProfs Classic, by Nick Usborne, titled "The Five Most Important Words for Your Web Site," was originally published January 8, 2002. I have always loved Nick's writing, for its clarity and deceptive simplicity—he's the Alexander McCall Smith of marketing know-how. So maybe it's not a surprise that I had trouble choosing which of the 50-ish articles he's contributed over the past seven years to run as this week's Classic. But it did surprise me, as I trawled the MarketingProfs archives, how many of them were equally relevant today as when they were written four or five (or sometimes six!) years ago. And I wasn't looking at Nick's articles alone. There's a whole lot of depth and breadth in the MarketingProfs article archives. And much of it, like Nick's piece this week, remains as fresh as lip from a teenager. But don't just take my word for it. Stroll around the archives here... and see for yourself. And let me know what you think. As always, your feedback is both welcome and encouraged. Ann Handley

How Online and Offline Have Fused Into a Single Dialog (and Why Marketers Should Follow Suit) Last year, a study by comScore Networks found that an average of 63% of online searchers who proceeded to complete a purchase did so offline rather than online.
