    Hello again,

    I have building a couple sites lately, and I have been told to install or integrate RSS feeding? My question is what good are they to me?

    Do they help SEO or SERP wise, or they there just for content?

    Thank You!

    I have used RSS integration for instant content on websites that I have purchased that have had previous PR. This has given me time to rebuild the site properly, but still keep the PR and traffic. Don't make it totally obvious - have it blend well. In the end, though, still product custom content as time permits.

    Yes absolutely Rss feed will affect you SERPs. For example if you are targeting "abc" and your site is floating 3rd or 4th page. IF you add content for particular keyword and give a link to your exact inner page or home page. Definitely you will get results ASAP. I have done this before and got results.

    RSS Submissions are very useful for building back links & increasing visibility of your blog. i think the main idea behind rss submission is that increasing visibility of your blog on internet.

    let's say if you submitted rss in to 15 rss directories, and whenever you will update your blog then due to rss, rss will ping of your latest blog post into that 15 article directories. in this way ultamately you will get 15 links from rss submission.

    i think its pretty much information for rss submission.

    Hello,

    RSS feeds for your site is very good for SEO for the following reasons:
    - Some back links to your site that will help it rank higher.
    - If you use FeedBurner (I highly recommend), this will help also work as a ping to search engines so they got more often notified about new content in your site.
    - If your subscribers will bookmark your feeds in their readers (web apps or browsers toolbars...), then this is really a great back linking...

    Without mentioning the benefit that this bring in term of traffic and visitors loyalty.

    To your sucess!
