San Diego, California - Purpose: to find a non-web based RSS feed submission software that was effective, affordable, reasonably configurable, and easy to use. Problem: Having to manage numerous Internet based media websites such as http://imperialvalleynews.com who all publish various RSS Feeds. We needed something to help automate the process of keeping the news services aware of existing and future RSS Feeds we would need to submit for consideration. We elected to put ksoft Software’s RSS Submit to the test. It met our pricing criteria of less then $99.00 (84.95 Professional Edition) and it afforded us a free trial. Both strong arguments for its initial choice by our product tester. Ksoft Software claimed: RSS Submit is the most powerful RSS feed management and promotion tool available. The first of its kind for automatically submitting RSS feeds, it is the quickest and most reliable way to submit to the RSS search engines. RSS Submit uses a combined method of automatic submissions and auto-filling web page submit forms to automate the process of submitting your RSS feeds, publishing your content, and getting more traffic with proven results. RSS Submit is extremely easy to use. Automatic RSS feed detection allows you to enter the domain of your web site and let RSS Submit find the locations of your feeds. Integration with FeedBurner and Technorati statistics lets you track hits to your RSS feeds right from within the software. RSS Preview and keyword analysis lets you manage your feeds in real-time. After submitting your RSS feed automatically with one click, you may perform additional manual submissions through your web browser to those directories, which require more detailed information about your feed. RSS Submit can auto-fill most web page submit forms with information about your feed, providing a much quicker and easier submit experience. For users who host their feed with FeedBurner or are listed in Technorati, RSS Submit contains integrated support for their RSS traffic statistics. Easily view up-to-date traffic hits for your RSS feeds directly from within RSS Submit. Be sure to activate this feature in your FeedBurner account in order to view stats in the software. These were our findings: RSS Submit. Was fully documented, reasonably intuitive, and had us submitting our 1st feed within 30 minutes of installation. We concur with the manufacturers statements. Our experience with Trenton, New jersey based ksoft Software was that they do not stop by just selling software. They help their customers, by providing effective, timely and free product support.
