Value of RSS Feed for a website?
-
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,

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

More than one link on an external website
Just wanted to clarify my understanding of this... I'm of the understanding that if an external site has more than one link going to your site, then it is only the one link that passes value. If this is the case.... Which is the link that passes value (i.e the first link established or the link that, all factors being considered, is the most valuable for passing authority?) If a second link established on an external website comes from and goes to a different webpage than the first (and is done for the purposes of targeting and boosting a different keyword category/theme), is this then a beneficial practice? If multiple links on an external website all serve to generate solid referral traffic, will this boost rankings, and thereby be a sound practice? Thanks in advance for your help in clarifying this for me!
