Hi, What is the impact of RSS feeds on SEO ? Does rss feeds make duplicate entries on google ? Why sites like techcrunch.com use nofollow tags in RSS links ? Please let me know Thanks
RSS streamlines communication between publishers and readers. Since RSS has had a popularity surge, webmasters have been experimenting and using RSS feeds to deliver content in new and innovative ways. RSS has thus far, proven itself as becoming the preferred method of distributing news and information online. it also affords you free targeted traffic without any additional efforts.
RSS automatic update your content by feed URL you have spread on net. that is count as back link too.
RSS has no direct positive impact on SEO unless it is to distribute a "back link". What it could do, is change the keyword density of a page or the "text-to-code" ratio.
