How do RSS Feeds Help SEO?

I am surprised by the number of webmasters who do not make use of RSS feeds! They are great tools for getting your website content picked up by many other websites. And what does that do for you? It helps your link popularity, which in turn, should help you rank higher for your chosen keywords in major search engines.

Some Uses For RSS Feeds

• Offer a selection of your latest content so other websites can post them. In return you will get a free backlink.
• You can offer your own feed subscriptions on your website so your visitors can stay updated. They can subscribe through a feed reading service, or with some services, even their email. Think about the advantages of being able to notify your readers when you update!
• Submit these feeds to directories or feed aggregators. That way your content and links will be updated all the time.

How Do You Create a Feed?

Many CMS (Content Mangement Systems) automatically generate them. WordPress and Blogger are popular examples. If your own website does not have this ability, you can find a script to do it for you. Simply look around on the major search engines for suggestions.
