Well, as a webmaster you can take another's rss feed and syndicate it on your website, allowing your own visitors to have newsreels to read. You can use programs such as RSS2MYSQL to combine multiple rss feeds into one, making unique feeds that aren't originating from one source only,-- a program which also randomizes the output so you avoid all that duplicate content worry that comes allong with rss syndication. (there are allot of third party websites that can help you syndicate for free, at the cost of ads, but imo its best to handle ever-thing through a server side script, even if it the script costs a small fee. That way you can have better onsite theme integration and avoid ads etc.) link: www dot rss2mysql-feed-randomizer-compiler dot c0m/ If you syndicate an RSS feed that blogs about topics relevant to your overall website topic then you are likely to increase the keyword density of your website through the additional content. Then there are aggregate programs like Google Reader, which is for people like you and I who have allot of different outlets we like to read from, but we want a centralized location to browse through all the new content. From an SEO standpoint RSS opens doorways to potential backlinks. Your headlines appear in linked format on another's website --- well that link points back to your full article along with the trailing keywords in the anchor. From a Marketing standpoint RSS feeds promote awareness of your website by extending it's arms onto other websites syndicating your content. This way visitors who, from a probability standpoint would have never visited your website, finds a gateway through another website, and this brings additional traffic and increases the possibility of additional retained/repeat traffic.
for end users --- > they dont have to visit the site..they can see the rss headings..and visit the site if they are interested..
Yep, you can use a desktop tool or a browser to just read the content without having to visit the site
I'm just wondering. If I displayed content from someone else's feed on my site, and did not try to hide that it was theirs, etc., could I be committing a copyright infringement? Or, is anything put out in feed form considered public domain and you can do what you wish with it? Any thought? I've been toying with a few ideas for a while about this.
if your site has rss feed that your end user can get your new content through rss and for you......if your end user read your rss feed than he will keep coming back to your site and even remember the name of your site..but RSS is only important if your site have good content regards Arcade Games
