This is a simple yet effective tip that can increase your number of RSS subscribers, even if slightly. All you need to do is to place an RSS icon, preferably with the message “Like this article? Subscribe to the RSS feed!” at the end of individual posts.
The visitors coming from search engines or from other blogs will usually read the post that they were looking for an move on. Placing the RSS icon with a message right after the post will remind those visitors that your blog can offer more valuable content, and in order to stay updated with it they should grab your feed.

Thank you very much for the excellent article, Daniel. It worked like a charm for my blog.

RSS feed on each page the main thing.

Good site, nice design! Visit my sites, please:
yes. i will do this!
Rory, the most efficient way it to implement the code on the template. Alternatively you can search for a plugin that does that. I know one that does it on the front page, it displays the message and and feed icon for new readers up to three times. Its called “What would Seth Godin Do” (funny name for a plugin eh?).
Very nice site! Good work.
Is there another way of placing the RSS subscription on individual pages? I only seem to have access to the index page, so I have the RSS offer under every post, which seems to be overkill. The same offer is under the single page, but I don’t seem to be able to manipulate this. It’s either both or nothing.
I added a feed link to my single.php file. Real easy. No need for a plugin at all. A little HTML/CSS and you’re off and running.
Bes, thanks for letting me know, I will check what is the deal with the codes within comments.
great post. I recently started asking my visitors to subscribe at the bottom of each post but never thought about actually placing an rss icon there. Thanks Daniel!
Just wanted to let everyone know: my above post has some code in it. The codes are not showing up in the comments, however, and thus my comment above looks incomplete. I apologize for that.
That last one is a good idea. I get the most hits on my reviews so I think I’ll go through and add rss buttons to those.
Very good tip.
Excellent tip. For K2 theme users, the file to edit is theloop.php file. You can put the code that Daniel talks above right under the
Guys maybe this one:

Great post. I’m going to add this myself when I redo the bottom of my single.php files next week. Great to hear you’ve seen a rise in subscribers.
I already have most of the code that allows content to be appended to the end of each post. I’ve got a variation of it for another use of mine (appending Adsense after the end of each of the first 3 posts).
Hey Dan, that is a nice idea for a plugin indeed. Let me know if you come up with something similar
At the moment I’m hosted on wordpress.com however. I don’t think I have that level of control. I’m thinking of moving to my own server once my current domain mapping feature expires with WP.com. Mostly so I can start running some small ads.
OMG! What simple and really good tip!
THX a lot!
Sounds like a desire for a plugin that appends content to the end of every post. Might write that and release it…
Ramen, if I am not wrong you are using WordPress right?
Sounds like a good idea but I wonder if there’s an easier way to do it without having to cut and paste it into every post.
Yeah I implemented it a couple of weeks ago and it increased the number of RSS subscribers by 5-10% if I am not wrong (could be other factors, but still).
Great tip! I’ve been struggling with how to increase feed subscribers. I get a lot of traffic via Google so I bet this tip will really help me out.
