can rss be used for any type of website?

Till now i thought that creating an rss feed was useful only for blogs and websites that regularly updated their content (ie at least one new article each day) However now i am finding that people are submitting individual articles to rss directories in order to gain more backlinks.

For example people are creating feeds for their squidoo lens or hubpages or sites that have just 4-5 new articles each month and submitting them to various directories to gain the backlinks. Can this be done...i mean without getting punished by google?

 

Good question friend,

Also I am wondering on this trend. might be any of senior would knowing more on this.

 

I have personally seen RSS used on a lot more than just blogs and forums. I'm sure you can.

 

RSS can be used for almost anything. It definitely goes beyond blogs, forums, and news headlines.

 

I concur RSS has a variety of uses it goes way beyond blogs.

 

I use rss on my classified ad site. It works great and gets me more attention that way.

 

What exactly the RSS is? or how I may use it for my site in what way?

You should google before you ask questions.

 

I was not mean to this thing. Okie its my fault, will mail you my questions.

 

rss is usualy dynamically generated against a database because the point of rss is to let a remote party know theres new stuff on the stie.

You can make ANY site have rss.. but you would have to progam it youself, but first figure out what to put in there.

RSS for static pages is kinda pointless! Thats why forums and blogs have it almost inheritent now a days

 

Yep pretty much - promote away on all those RSS feeds!
