traffic

The traffic tag is for articles about getting people from a feed back to the site that published it. That covers the mechanics — links, titles, images, canonical URLs — and the judgement calls, such as whether to publish full articles or summaries, and how often is too often for a given channel. Automated distribution puts your content in more places, but nothing about that is automatic where attention is concerned; a feed with dull titles reaches more people and persuades none of them. These pieces also cover measurement, so you can see which destinations actually return visitors rather than assuming. Expect practical detail rather than growth theory. Read them together with the feed optimization guides, since the two subjects overlap.
