I have limited experience with RSS feeds. I tried adding it to one of my sites several months ago to try to build more traffic and saw no change at all. Social media has pretty much killed the use of newsreaders, so unless your feed happens to appear on a site somewhere you're not going to get any visibility to speak of. I wouldn't disable news feeds on an existing site, but I wouldn't go to any special effort to add it anywhere.

I think it was a good idea to start and I was totally sure it might work. However, it seems not to be as effective as it was expected. As for the traffic purposes, unfortunately, it doesn't work well.

I think RSS feeds are still important because, if you are a website owner it helps you promote and share your content, and if you are a reader it provides you the content. It's still helps you getting traffic, because people loves various RSS readers such as Feedly where they find and read the content they love.

Um... Now I'm thinking we don't need to avoid it soon. Because many people still use it and there has some benefits in RSS. Thanks so much.

Now days RSS feed is pretty old idea for getting traffic. This because popular search engine doesn't give so much importance to RSS feed. RSS feed generally update automatically (if not created manually), so it's good way to reach your blog readers.

Yes, definetely it still works.
RSS is good for at least two reasons:
1. Your clients/users are constantly exposed to your products/news.
2. Give you links.
