Submit Your RSS Feed To Google - New Idea

I blogged abut this today so thought I would come and share it here too.

Google's new "Personalized Homepage" is a terrible RSS reader IMHO. However here is how to submit your blog feed to Google so it gets picked up by all the Google readers, just like we all did back when Yahoo 1st offered the option to add your RSS feed. It only takes a second to do and who knows, lots of new readers could find your blog.

Robin Good reports: "And for those of you interested in increasing the reach and visibility of your RSS feeds, you now have a fast, easy and direct way to submit your those feeds to Google itself... While it is hard to say now how and when Google will start leveraging that RSS-based content to augment, expand and diversify its search capabilities, it is almost certain that at it will... So, to make your blog and RSS feed part of this new Google index, head off to the Google Personalized Home page facility and follow these simple instructions..."

That's Sweet! About time google got with the program and handed us this for free. ;-)

 

You can also submit your rss feeds to Google Sitemaps as well. Both should help in getting spidered/indexed.

 

Thanks for the tip. Very easy to do. I wasn't even aware Google had a personal page.

 

It seems to be in a very early stage. Not very customizable as yet. Or at least I haven't found it to be overly useful.

 

Oh cool!!! Glad this helped you guys out. I was afraid maybe I was sharing old news others knew about and I had just stumbled on it late.
