RSS & Blogs Bring More Readers & Ad Views

Minor League News (MLN) was one of the first sports news companies to adopt Real Simple Syndication (RSS/XML) news feeds. Our service appears in Google News®, and it is the preferred news syndicator of minor league sports content in more than 100 blog directories. Our stories propagate out to thousands of websites with links that lead right back to articles with your display ads.

Below is a screen shot of the website (HTML) version of our publication MLN - The Raw Feed™. Click on the linked title or the "MORE" at the bottom of the abridged news brief, and it will take you to the full story.

MLN - The Raw Feed

Abstracted news, above, is what is shipped via RSS to hundreds of news aggregator sites. When they click on the short story, they see this, along with your ad:

That same article can be picked up on our RSS (XML) news feed and republished at other news websites, such as Google News. Notice that our stories, in our section of the sports market, often top even ESPN's coverage.

One RSS article can be republished thousands of times all over the world, with automatic, embedded links from every article back to the MLN website, and your display ads

The circled areas below are all hot-links back to the MLN website, and to advertiser publications who take out text ads on the news briefs.

MLN RSS news feeds and comment are also found on thousands of sports specific blogs.

The biggest thing to hit web news has been RSS news and blogs.

RSS is real simple syndication. What does that mean?

It's real simple:

We publish a story. Any other publication or blog can pick up that story and republish it on their website, as long as they retain our ads and our copyright notice.

Fans can share news items, or just open up customized "newspapers" in their web browser that have the sources and topics that they choose to see.

The majority of our RSS briefs are just the first paragraph of a longer news article. The "[More] link allows readers to pick up more information.

When they click, they jump to our site, and to your display ads at our sister publication, MLN-The Raw Feed™.

We also offer links to stories on players appearing in the day's news cycle that may be of interest to our readers.

This brings more readers and higher position in web search engines.
