Simple tip to increase your Comment Feeds Subscribers

Everton has mentioned a simple yet effective tip that helped him to get from 5 to 200+ subscribers to his comment feed! The number of subscribers to his comment feed jumped to 80 overnight after making this change.

The tip he gave was to add the Comments Feed to the list of feeds that are displayed when a user clicks on the RSS link in the browser.

Comment feed

All you have to do to make this change is to find the following line in your header.php file

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />

and add the following code below it

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS Comments Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>" />

Once you have done this, your Comments Feed will be listed alongside your main feed making it easy for your visitors to subscribe to your comments feed.

I have just made this change and wish to see the same increase Everton had with his comment feed :)
