      What sort of value does an RSS feed provide for a website?

      If you use an RSS feed on your website, what do you use to keep it updated?

      Can you recycle mention of content / pages in the feed over time?

      Any good links on this subject?

        Thanks. That was helpful.

        So I can use Google's Feedburner and that's sufficient to get maximum exposure? Or do I also have to use others like Bloglines?

        As previously mentioned, I was using "RSS Builder" some time back. Any recommendations for managing the actual feed given it's being used for a website?

        Can I start a new feed based on the newer pages added over the last so many months?

          The main benefit of RSS feeds is to keep users updated with your latest content should they not access your site directly.

          From an SEO point, if you have activated the "pingback" feature, this will ensure that every site update will be notified to search engines & browser bots and specific blog/content submission sites. RSS feeds also provides additional internal links to a page hence providing more link juice and page authority. Make sure you don't have too many internal links on a page.

          It is therefore important to be smart about RSS feed placement and making it compatible to access and read fpr all types of sites mentioned above.

          This is why you'll notice people using Google's Feedburner, whereby you can  have more control optimising the meta data per RSS feedback and automatically connecting social media accounts i.e. twitter or digg for automating content promotion.

          Hope this helps,

          Vahe

            What is the SEO / Google value, if any, to providing an RSS feed to a website that's more static than not? Low value, high value?

            If you use an RSS feed on your website, is there any sort of automated program  to keep it updated? (I used to "RSS Builder" a few years ago but fell out of the habit of keeping it updated because I didn't think I was getting any benefit from the feed since pages are more static than not / not enough freshness.)

            Can you / do you / should you recycle mention of content / pages in the feed over time?

              The value of the RSS feed provide a way for your viewers and website to get the information you post without going to your site - it keep your name in front of your subscriber viewer to your content. RSS feeds instantly notified your subscribers. Keep them inform, Establish credibility and bring traffic

              Here is feed burner to explain: https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=feedburner&continue=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedburner.google.com%2Ffb%2Fa%2Fmyfeeds&gsessionid=EXRSKues33gYaweyfc_8Lw

                What Should be the URL of third party blog for my website

                Hi All, What Should be the URL of third party blog for my website. Lets say if i have a website xyz.com (which provide pest control services in New York City) and I want to create third party blogs on platforms like blogspot, weebly etc so should i create the blog url as xyz.blogspot.com or i can use a keyword in the blog URL such as pestcontrolnyc.blogspot.com? Which URL would be the best as per Google's guidelines. Note: I have already have a blog within the domain as xyz.com/blog/ and i do weekly posting on this blog. But at the same time i want to create 1-2 third party blogs to get some backlinks from other sources.

                Other websites copy content and giving a link back

                Hi, I've just noticed a few back links in Google Search Console, I was excited. But when I saw the backlinks, 2 other websites that had completely copied my content and then gave a backlink to my website. Is this bad for SEO and would google penalise my website for this?

                1000 of links on my website ? is it good or bad

                Hi guys my site: www.dorchdanola-netbutik.dk is a e-commerce store, and generally we have many links on all pages because of the many products and categories. Im not sure if this is actually bad or good? I've been told that it will definately harm my site when google crawls it. The thing is that google visit my site often and I still have good pageranks in google. So does it actually harm my site having all these products and categories? And what can I do about it if google see every page as duplicate content? I also link to my social pages like FB, G+, e.g. Should I put rel="nofollow" or rel="me" on these social links? Thanks guys!

                Where can I find a list of the top DA websites on the web?

                I'd like to find a ranking of the top DA websites on the web. I'm mostly interested in US websites. I'd like at least the top 10,000 or so but the more the better. Is there a way to get this data from OpenSiteExplorer or another source? The closest I've found is Double Click's listing of the top 1000 most_visited_ (not DA) websites: http://www.google.com/adplanner/static/top1000/ Thanks!

                EBay listing links SEO value?

                Hi guys, Our website has an eBay widget which lots of eBay users put on their listings. We are thinking of using that as a way to get links from eBay listings. However, since most eBay listings will disappear after 90 days, is this worth doing and also will Google count those links? Many thanks David
