Having Two RSS Feeds: Full Post Feed as well as Summary Feed
One of the blogs that I follow infrequently is LifeHacker.com
If you scroll down the LifeHacker blog, you will find that they provide two syndication options:
This is a fabulous idea in my opinion.
- If people prefer full content RSS feeds, they’ll get it with ads. So that you can make some money too.
- And if they prefer not to view your ads, they can opt for the partial content RSS feeds. And come visit your blog if they want to read the full post. You can then monetize your blog.
I always wondered what plugin LifeHacker uses to provide two feeds for their blog. But never did try hard to find such a plugin.
WordPress Plugin: DualFeeds
Yesterday, I came across a WordPress plugin that allows your blog to have two RSS feeds too: one with full content. And one with partial content.
You can download that plugin here: DualFeeds
I’m not sure if LifeHacker uses the DualFeeds plugin. But it serves the purpose.

That’s a really fantastic idea.
I’m not sure about splitting my readers though. It would be nice to show off the little Feedburner button with a big number someday…

Michael: Thanks for making a very good point. You will be dividing your statistics if you create two feeds. Not sure if there is a way out of it. Or if FeedBurner will allow to merge the statistics of two feeds.
Advertisers will only look at the number of full feed with ads subscriber count though…
