# source rss?

 * Hi all,
 * Some users arrive on my site with source=rss, medium=rss, campaign=title-of-article.
 * I have no idea where they come from, can you help me figure it out?
 * I really doubt they are subscribers to my RSS feed… It’s not advertised at all
   on my site.
 * Thank you for any tips you can give me!

 * It’s usually still very simple to find the RSS feed for a site. Older versions
   of Firefox (for example) used to flag up RSS feeds on a site in its address bar.
   If your RSS feed url is being generated in the header of your site’s pages, then
   any feed scraper will pick it up immediately.

 * thank you. I thought RSS feeds or readers were not used by many people… I have
   1000 visits with this source for the last 30 days. It’s not impossible though…

 * Some sites tend to publish feed from elsewhere. My best guess is that this is
   what has happened in your case. If you have access to traffic logs via your hosts,
   you might get some details on the the referrer (ie where these people are coming
   from).
