RSS Feed Subscriber Campaign
Pre-requisite reading: If you do not know what RSS Feeeds, nor RSS Feed Readers are, you will want to read the post What is RSS? before continuing with this one.
Now the campaign….
We all have an RSS Feed for our blogs. What we don’t have is the number of subscribers to our blogs most of us would like. We also have the ability to create lists. So, what happens when I combine a list and our RSS Feeds? We get a bunch of subscribers to our blogs we didn’t have before, and we get a ton of links to our sites. Having subscribers is a great way to get return traffic to your blogs. If readers use their RSS Feed Readers frequently you should get more traffic than you have ever had before. Return traffic that is a big deal for a website. It helps you increase advertising money, build a reader base, and even can help you with paid posting if you are into that 
. If you happen to have the Firefox Extension for Page Rank and Alexa as well you help bump the Alexa scores of all the blogs you go to from your feed reader as well. You should have that anyways because it helps your own rank just by going to your own blog everyday.
So let me get right to the meat and potatoes and describe the rules.
***Start Copying Here***
1. Create a post and link back to the person that put you on the list in the first paragraph with a brief thank you and description of why people want to use the campaign. DO NOT copy their paragraph. Write your own unique one and link to their site.
2. Copy the ENTIRE list of Feeds and create an OPML File to import into your feed readers so that you can subscribe to all of the blogs on the list. You will want to read my post entitled Mass RSS Feed Subscribing with an OPML so you understand how to do it. (You will want to copy this link over to your post so those you add know how to do this too.)
3. Copy the ENTIRE list of Feeds AND blogs and put them into your post like they are here. Move the “My Adds” from the blog that added you into the “Originals” lists for each. This list is unique because I want you to be able to copy the feeds with out having to delete the blogs before making the OPML file so I separated the two links into 2 lists.
4. Add any blogs you want to the list with whatever keywords you want. Then get their RSS Feed and add those to the list of Feeds in your “My Adds” section.
5. Publish your post.
6. Comment on the post that originated the list here so that new additions can be subscribed to as well by the lists before yours.

Another great day, another great list.
Gonna give this a shot. Can’t you make it more difficult?
I could have killed off the blog links, but then no one would do it. I know half the people will scam out and not subscribe to our feeds anyways so we might as well get something out of it. I figure at least half the people can figure it out and make it work.
I know…I was a good boy and subscribe to them all. Some of those mommy blogs are really boring to me.
Come up with some more gaming techniques.OK. Hey, did Chow follow up with you on this. I did not see it on his site.
Haven’t seen it come through. Must be too busy writing Review Me posts…lol
Amy added it though so here’s a few more on the list:
