New MagicRSS Service Lets Any Publisher Syndicate Their RSS Feed
.
Sample Feedbox
By adding just one line of code, any RSS feed can be syndicated to any other web site. No special RSS reader is needed since the RSS feed is viewable by a regular web browser.

See the URLwire headlines box to the left? The new Magic RSS web site provides several new and innovative ways for Web users to utilize RSS feeds. At left is the "Magic FeedBox", a feature allowing any RSS feed (including Atom feeds) to be displayed on any other website. Magic RSS offers two ways to do this. Using Javascript, a Webmaster can display any RSS feed available in the Magic RSS database. Or, the webmaster can download and install two small PHP scripts onto his/her server which will display ANY RSS feed (again, including Atom feeds).

A benefit of the free download is that content from the RSS feed can be "seen" by the search engines. This means that a search engine will see "new and updated content" whenever they visit, which according to some ranking experts is a good thing! Another benefit is that the feed content can be easily cached on the user's web server, making access times much faster as the display is not reliant on the Magic RSS servers or the source RSS feed web server. On the other hand, the Javascript code is a little easier to handle for novices. Both display identical feeds. The scrolling feeds are somewhat customizable in terms of size and number of items shown.

Magic RSS provides the standard clickable graphic to be displayed near a website's own RSS feed to allow a visitor to utilize the RSS feed either in the Magic RSS online Reader, or on their own website.

Magic RSS also comes with a full-featured online RSS Reader. As well as being able to see ANY RSS feed in the RSS reader (not only those in the Magic RSS database) the Reader comes with a variety of viewing formats. Magic RSS is completely free apart with one exception: if you want to list your own RSS feed in the database, there is a $1 validation charge. This is to ensure that no feeds are added to the database without the owner's permission. Once listed, the RSS feed is available for syndicating via the Magic RSS service, and it is also listed in a searchable database users of the Online Reader service. Magic RSS offers a variety of features not found in other RSS Readers and syndicators.
