I think there's a big difference between saying "rss is the center of the universe in social media" and you not getting more traffic because you've submitted your site to RSS directories.

Are your articles unique, or were they purchased through an article distribution service? Maybe you're not providing enough quality content to attract visitors from these sites?

Also, I'm not sure I see a social media aspect to your site. It appears to be a site with a lot of business-oriented articles on it, chock full of Google Ads. Is there a place for me to create a profile and share w/my friends? Am I missing something?

My niche article directory in business management, http://www.BestManagementArticles.com has been submitted to almost all the RSS directories online. The problem: my site traffic after my submission to RSS directories is not much different from my traffic before the submission.

So from my view point there is no evidence at all that there is a mass of people using or reading RSS feeds.
