    RSS - (Rich Site Summary or RDF [Resource Description Framework] Site Summary). An XML format for sharing content among different Web sites such as news items. How does it work? A Web site can allow other sites to publish some of its content by creating an RSS document and registers the document with an RSS publisher. A web publisher can post a link to the rss feed so users can read the distributed content on his/her site. Syndicated contentcan can include news feeds, listings of events, stories, headlines, etc.

    Mainly for blogs but I created one for my website anyway, they are good because you can submit your feed to places and gain backlinks and traffic. Create one and then submit to sites like www.feedbomb.com

    RSS lets you submit a feed of your blog/site to feed readers so users of feed reader sites or software can view your updates and click through to your web site to read the full articles, etc. This increases your traffic and backlinks.

    thecashcow sums it up pretty well I think.

    I developed a software program to submit RSS Feeds to Directories. Some of the reasons why this is useful are contained in the copy on my sales page.

    I'm too new to post a link here, but if you PM me I can send you a link.
