Hello I am new here to this board and to RSS feeds. I would appriecate it if some of you very experienced people would share your wisdom with me. We are creating pages with feed on them. We wanted to create pages of dymanic content to help with our SEO. When you create feed on your website is there a way to get the feed to actually be on your site other then just some titles or headlines that display for people to click on which takes you to another site to read the stories? If you only have the headlines does this even have an effect on your SEO? If it is possible to have the actual feed stories on your site how to you do this. So far we have only managed to get the headlines. I would appriecate and help or insights about all of this.
Hi. The whole idea of RSS is to get one's content out. This way each entry becomes a link to the original site. So most feeds would only provide an item title (linked to the original article/post/page) and a teaser - requiring the reader to click back to the source to read the entire article. However, some feeds do provide full text within. If you can find some, it's up to how you parse and display them on your site. You can have the un-linked titles and full-text. This practice is somewhat questionable though, because it's unfair to the original authors. You should at least have a reference to the source.
Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate your help. Two more questions. If you have pages that have RSS feed headlines on them does that still create dynamic content for you website? The headlines would change everyday correct? Would it still have an effect on your SEO?
Of course. The search engines will see that as a part your your page. RSS is real-time, so as soon as the original source is updated, the changes will be reflected on your side. Every day, or weekly, or hourly, or sporadic. Definitely.
