    RSS feeds is a way to notify people as well as search engines whenever you update your blog or site.

    There is no direct impact of rss feeds on ranking but it may help you in gaining some traffic

    It is not necessary to have a blog, you can create a rss feed for a site which does not have a blog.
    After the rss feed is created you can submit it in various rss feed directories which can help in increasing backlinks to your site.

    RSS Feeds are mostly used by Bloggers where you can subscribe and get latest content. If a Blogger write a post, the rss feed is updated so that you won't need to go to website to read everything.

    The best thing about RSS feed is that you can add it to many feed websites and get direct traffic to your own website.

    You can create an RSS feed from any database. You can create an RSS feed from an ecommerce site and then submit the feed to RSS search engines - and from my experience it works.

    Tips for SEO optimization of your RSS feeds:

    1. Subscribe to your own feed and claim it on blog engine Technorati

    2. Focus your feed with a keyword theme

    3. Use keywords in the title tag; keep it under 100 characters

    4. Most feed readers display feeds alphabetically, title accordingly

    5. Write description tags as if for a directory; keep them under 500 characters

    6. Use full paths on links and unique URLs for each item

    7. Provide email updates for the non-techies

    8. Offer an HTML version of your feed

    9. For branding, add logo and images to your feed
    10. Full text, not summaries

    11. 20 or MORE items (not just 10)

    12. Multiple feeds (by category, latest comments, comments by post)

    13. Keyword-rich item [title]

    14. Your brand name in the item [title]

    15. Your most important keyword in the site [title] container

    16. Compelling site [description]

    17. Don't put tracking codes into the URLs (e.g. &source=rss)

    18. An RSS feed that contains enclosures (i.e. podcasts) can get into additional RSS directories & engines

    19. Get your RSS content (proactively) syndicated on other relevant websites [just the headlines and summaries of course]

    20. Submit your RSS feeds to all the RSS search engines and directories

    21. Use RSS to add relevant third-party content [again, just headlines and summaries] to your website to gain additional SE weight for your keywords

    22. Use RSS to deliver all of your frequently updated content, not just for your latest blog posts

    23. Whenever the content in your feed changes, ping the most important search engines and directories [yes, you don't need a blog for this]

    Do you have more tips?
    Post them in the comments form below.

    At least for ranking purposes. The only thing I use an RSS feed for is to put links into, to get them indexed.
