    so the conclusion is, by putting many RSS on our, google will index more pages about us, according to that RSS ? what about other sites who's receiving the same RSS ?

    Auto blog (taking rss from other sites to post on our site) will not work for long term .

    I made some test , after 6 month i got a pr4 a lot of backlinks , and more than 15k pages cached in google .

    Adsense = 1-2$ / day

    but recently google banned the site , 0 page indexed , pr 0 , trafic only come from msn and yahoo and its minimal .

    So yes it might work for short term period but not for long term .

    you dont know when google will ban your site .

    I wouldn't recommend setting up a site purely from RSS feeds. G will eventually realise what you are doing then ban you.

    RSS is good for syndication but not to this extent. Sensible use of RSS on a quality site is acceptable as long as you state the source. Even then the owner of the RSS feed may ask you to remove it.

    RSS feeds are a fantastic way of marketing your website on the internet

    In simple terms any website worth its salt is using RSS Feeds!

    Just to be clear, an RSS feed is just a list of content e.g. webpages or products, that are available on your website. This list can be updated at any time by you, and people can subscribe via their RSS reader to your XML feed e.g. many browsers now allow you to save and view RSS feeds e.g. Mozilla Firefox

    Lots of people are searching for information via the search engines, because of this, lots of websites use PHP scripts which "parse" an XML/RSS feed, so that they can have new content added to their website automatically

    If you have great content in an XML Feed, it could be your XML/RSS feed that appears on other sites

    Setting up an XML Feed is easy - all that is required is title, description, link
    It is really easy to setup. If you had say lots of different articles on your website you could have a RSS feed called "articles", and just add new articles - the title, description, link - into the XML feed

    If anyone subscribed to your feed, they can instantly access all your information

    I would say you absolutely have to get a feed on your website. All you do is create a plain text file and save it with the extension .XML, and upload it to your webspace. Then link to it from your home page. Its that simple

    There's a bit more the XML than that- basically you have to use the right format, but its so easy anyone can easily do it
