RSS Feeds Submission
A good example are the news feeds spread by newspaper website owners. Many webmasters put the news feeds on their blogs or websites to give the visitor the ability to read the news. It is very important that the content of the feed is relevant to the topic of the website it is used on.
In some ways RSS is very similar to HTML, the language commonly used to create websites. Just as with HTML, webmasters using traditional search engine optimization tactics when creating an RSS feed will find that their RSS feed receives additional exposure and interest.
This is very straightforward to implement but often overlooked by publishers and webmasters. In theory, the quickest way to have an RSS feed spidered by Yahoo or MSN is to include the feed on a personal my.yahoo or my.msn home page. You just need to register an account on the respective search engines. Then comes the next step of customizing the home page to include your RSS feed.
Display an RSS Feed on your website. By displaying a feed on a website and providing fresh content, the search engines will spider the website regularly. The more often your website is updated with fresh content the more regularly the search engines will index your site.
Creating an RSS feed needs thought. An important consideration to keep in mind is accessibility. Very often in creating the larger picture the small details are missed and the RSS feed does not attain the heights it deserves.
Submitting RSS feeds to RSS directories can be a real pain for webmasters or business owners who use RSS feeds to make regular product announcements or promotional offers. When RSS technology first appeared on the internet in the late 90s, the usage is pretty limited.
In order to get the most out of RSS feed submission, you need to understand the difference between pinging and submission. When you ping a website, it’s a one-way thing. There is no confirmation or proof that your site will be aggregated. When you submit a feed to RSS feed aggregators, you’re guaranteed that the submission will be linked and included in their index.
To get a real idea of just how many feeds there out there, check out some of the top RSS directories. The directories list feeds so that anyone can subscribe to them at any time. Some site don’t require that you have a reader so you can read them live on the site while others act like a phone book or a more of a directory that you need your reader for.
RSS Feed publishing isn’t as confusing as it might initially sound. If you want to be a publisher, you have to remember that you are syndicating the news or information that you are sharing because you are making it available to multiple sources all at one time. These sources are your feed subscribers.
The simplest way to get traffic with RSS is to use a blog on your website, preferably a wordpress blog. Each time you update your blog with a new post, an RSS feed will provide readers with a taste of your content and a link to your blog where they can read the entire content.
