Does having live RSS feeds help on google SEO ---- since the constant updates will be automatic, making the webcrawlers come back and see updated info? Thanks!
i run a small seo Firm Alpha SEO in the UK and have found that using RSS feeds can help dramatically to increase your listings as long as you constantly post fresh content regularly onto it.
So as far as RSS feeds go..... I have to copy & paste the HTML myself? (I was under the assumption it updated on your website by itself)
I actually just read on post on this forum from a few years ago (and I know even posts from a month ago can get outdated in the SEO world!) --- but it said that the spiders cant read java --- and RSS feeds are Java Is that true???
yes, absolutly. Search engines love content and they especially love updated content. RSS feeds are just that updated content. RSS is really good for SEO
RSS is the most important thing to optimize your SEO. I believe if you have live RSS on your website then search engine robots go directly to your RSS feeds.
Java RSS feeds are not as good XML RSS feeds are much better and is great for your website as search engines will see it as fesh content being added to your site daily. Which in turns make your website get indexed more often.
Im actually pretty new to HTML --- and just saw somthing about Java on an outdated post from years ago on here..... XML RSS feeds... what is the difference ???? (thanks!)
With XML feeds it is basically like HTML to search engines and they can index it easy. Here is a page made with XML that you can see as example http://msdn.microsoft.com/rss.xml Javascript search engines have problems with and wouldn't suggest it. Also another factor not everyones computer is javascript enabled.
Yes, RSS do help a lot in SEO for a website. A long back, I read a article where I found the advantages of using RSS in a website. RSS feeds provides targeted and fresh content on your website. The search engine spiders love it. As a result of the fresh, relevant content, the search engine spiders will visit your website(s) more often - higher chance of being indexed. As mentioned earlier, if all other things being equal, if your site uses RSS while your competitors do not, you'll have the extra edge over them - Remember your goal is not to "outrun" the search engines, but to outrun your competitors! Saving time. It lets you speed-read the Net. Convenience: By collecting headlines from dozens of sources on a single screen, RSS (rich site summary) -- a combination of push and pull technology -- enables users to see at a glance when a site or blog has been updated without having to keep revisiting the site. RSS cuts to the chase: no pop-up ads (at this point, anyway), and you can set your news reader to allow or disallow photos and graphics. Access to a richer pool of material. Zero in on the info you want. RSS parses news and information on the subjects you want. The result is a targeted or personalized news experience, giving you greater ability to tailor your consumption of niche and micro-niche topics. A sports junkie could subscribe to a feed for the Tour de France or a favorite baseball team. A job-hunter could subscribe to a feed for openings in digital media. A medical editor or relative of someone with MS could receive RSS updates published to a health database. RSS can serve as an alert service. Instead of using e-mail, you might want to customize your news reader to deliver news on an important subject every 15 minutes. RSS levels the playing field. By flattening out authority, RSS puts micro-publishers and friends on the same footing as major news sites in your news reader RSS drives conversation. Feeds are a chief mechanism driving timely interactions and can be conducive to an ongoing dialogue Last but not the least we get a backlins to our internal web pages through many of the RSS directory who displays the HTML of RSS feed. Thus you get backlinks as well a traffic to your website .
