HitRSS.com web-based RSS publishing service – because creating and hosting a RSS news feed is no more a “geek thing”

E-marketing agency apivision.com has just launched a FREE web-based service that helps webmasters and Internet marketers to easily create and host their own RSS news feeds using a simple three-step wizard available on the web site at: www.hitrss.com

RSS is a technology that's been around for a few years now, but until recently it was considered to be just a “geek-thing”, and to publish an RSS Channel one had to have at least a basic knowledge of XML and XHTML, while on the other hand, to read RSS news, users had to download special programs – RSS Readers.

The times have changed and now the newest browsers such as Mozilla Firefox or Opera, as well as Email clients enable users to read RSS. The same applies to publishers - to create and publish RSS news no programming skills are required – one simply has to follow the three-step HitRSS web-based wizard.

HitRSS.com also provides its users with a handful of value-added tools for RSS publishing and hosting such as automated submitting and pinging to the most important RSS- and Blog- directories (including the Yahoo Directory). Most importantly however, HitrSS.com provides a RSS publisher with detailed RSS statistics, where they can keep track of their RSS Readership.

“There is a myth about RSS which implies that it has a major drawback concering the idea that you can't track your RSS readeship and you don't really know if anybody is actually reading your news feed”, says Michael Sliwinski, CEO of apivision.com and founder of HitRSS, “we prove they are wrong and we provide our users with detailed statistics of how often their RSS feed is being updated and how many uniuqe users are reading their feeds daily, weekly, monthly… it's a vital infomation especially for every Internet Marketer”.

The basic RSS publishing and hosting service is FREE and has virtually no limits as to the amount of feeds or content length. However to obtain detailed RSS statistics, users are requested to upgrade their account to PRO for a small yearly fee. “It's a small fee to cover our hosting and operating costs. We are providing the Internet community with a service that's jam-packed with value and we have new features and enhancements in development, so charging for extra features is just a way to make sure our service gets just better and better.” explains Michael Sliwinski.

The RSS publishers using HitRSS.com get a FREE web-blog with their RSS Channel and lot's of HTML and JavaScripts cut-and-paste code snippets to easily add their newly-created RSS news feeds to their current web pages.

“Some say 2005 will be the year of RSS. I love this new technology and can't live without it already and just hope to see more and more RSS Channels appearing on the Internet. The end users will ultimately retain control over the infomation they receive and won't have to worry about SPAM-filters and infomation overflow.” says Michael Sliwinski with optimism. Today, with services like HitRSS.com, publishing an RSS Channel hasn't just been easier.
