Hi All , I want to know what is the basic motive of using RSS feeds in SEO . Some say submitting RSS feeds to directories produce backlinks. What is the truth?
Yup, that's true. It also increases the frequency with which google crawls your site, which is always good. You can also use RSS feeds to get your baclinks indexed, by creating an RSS feed using icerocket RSS builder (google it) with each entry containing a url of one of your backlinks.
RSS for blogs were originally meant for others to syndicate your blog's content automatically but nowadays it can be used by users to get notified when your blog has new posts.
Why do you say it COULD help? I'm not aiming at traffic here cause that part I can understand.. it's the page rank part I don't get.
It just guide you traffic but RSS Links dont resist for longer period because of syndication process! i dont find any such influence other than excessive traffic from it
