People always talking about how to increase their RSS subscriber. Daniel wrote a great article about 50 Simple Ways to Gain RSS Subscribers, which cover all basic things that everyone need to do to get more subscribers.

Besides these 50 tips, i found 2 plugins which will help us in getting more subscribers also. They are Comment Relish and FD Feedburner Plugin.

Comment Relish is a Wordpress plugin that will send an email message to readers who comment on your blog who have never commented before. You can customize the email message and also add a link to your Feedburner acccount. By doing so, the commentators maybe will subscribe to your blog through the link.

FD Feedburner Plugin will redirects the main feed and optionally the comments feed to Feedburner.com. By doing so, your Feedburner Feedcount will increase even readers subscribe to your category feed or comments feed. This plugin is easy to setup. Simply activate it and give it your Feedburner feed URL.

Although these tips and plugin will help you to increase your subscribers, but the most important is you provide original and good content.

So, do you like my post? If yes, why not subscribe to my RSS feed?

If you follow some popular blogs, they will publish a summary of their popular posts over a specific period. This will make sure some busy readers don’t miss their interesting articles. It may takes whole night for you to compile this summary. So, you may try to install Best Post Summary Wordpress Plugin, which is released by Aseem.

Best Posts Summary is a WordPress plugin that automatically generates a summary post of your best posts over a specified period of time based on the most popular posts in terms of number of comments or number of visits.

There are a lot of settings that you can customize to suit your needs. For example, you can set the frequency of summary post to Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. You can also create summary for certain categories by selecting them in the Selected Categories box.

Besides these, you can customize the title, number of words from text, ordering and much more. I am not going to explain each option, as the author’s page has a very detailed description for each option.

Please give this plugin a try if you want to create a summary for your posts but don’t have enough time.

Wordpress Related Posts is a plugin which will generates a list of related posts base on the Wordpress tags. Placing this plugin at the end of your article will also increase your page views, because visitors like to read articles which are related to the topic they like.

There are a lot of settings which you can configure to suit your need.

This plugin let you customize the related posts title. You can configure this plugin to show Random Posts or Most Commented Posts if there is no related post found.

You may also insert related posts to your RSS feed by check the Related Posts for RSS option. If you want to place your related posts manually, make sure you uncheck the Auto Insert Related Posts. You can then call <?php wp_related_posts(); ?> in your template files to show the related posts.

I encourage new bloggers to use this plugin because it can greatly increase your page views and the most important is it will show random posts or most commented posts when there is no related post.

Top Commentator Widget is a handy tool for blogger to show their thankfulness to active commentators. With this widget, you can place a widget at your sidebar and show your active commentators to your visitors.

Top commentator Widget can encourage people to comment on your blog. Why i say so? People visit your blog frequently and leave quality comments, you return a favor to them by displaying their names and links at your sidebar. So, people are more willing to leave comments on your blog.

After you download and activate the plugin, you need to go to the Widget are and add it to your sidebar. After this, you can edit the settings. There are few settings which need your attention before activate this plugin:

• Widget title
• Exclude user
• Reset the list
• The number of names shown
• Hyperlink each name
• NoFollow hyperlink

The default Widget title is blank. So, you may simply put “Top Commentators” as your Widget title. The second thing that you need to configure is exclude yourself and other authors in the list. Your name will always at the first place if you don’t exclude yourself. If you are the visitor, what would you think?

The best period to reset your Top Commentator list is every one month or bi-weekly. It is all depands on number of comments on your blog. Next, you need to decide how many names to be shown in the list and whether want to hyperlink each name or not. I suggest you hyperlink each name to show your love to those top commentators. However, if you afraid doing so will affect your Google ranking, you may consider turn on the “NoFollow” for each hyperlink.
