      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

                How i can Reduce Spam score of my website

                link building spam score spam backlinks

                Hi everyone, I'm reaching out to the community for some advice on improving my website's spam score. I've been using the Moz Spam Score Checker and my website, sngplbill.pk, currently has a score of 7%. While this isn't exceptionally high, I'd like to take steps to bring it down as low as possible, ideally under 1%. One factor I've identified that might be contributing to this score is a number of backlinks pointing to my site has a much higher spam score (over 80%). (screenshot attached)sngplbillscore I'm wondering if the community has any recommendations for how to address this situation. Here are some specific questions I have: Does disavowing the backlinks from spamy site seem like the best course of action?
                Are there any other potential reasons why my website might have a spam score, even with these backlinks?
                What general strategies can I implement to improve my website's overall SEO health and reduce its spam score?
                Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

                Why Google Search Console Data is different from Moz Data for my website

                Hi All I am running a website, I have been using Moz since Feb 2021. Kindly go through these pics My question is why Moz is showing 2K plus backlinks while Google search console is showing just 1253 backlinks. Why fewer links in the google search console is less? How can I increase Google search console backlinks? Also, Moz is showing 90+ DA backlinks but those websites are not showing by the Google search console. What should I do to let google consider them? m0JGjBQ.jpg Cmp8ei3.png

                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.

                How to identify spammy website before making backlinks on them

                Hi, I search in google but didnt find a proper answer for this! maybe search an incorrect keyword! The question is, How can I find out a website that I'm going to make a backlink on is a spammy website? For example I did this guest bloging on this good website: Best Sure-Shot Organic Pest Control Approaches Every Gardener Should Know | Balcony Garden Web But it seems to be spammy because I use SEO POWERSUIT software that shows this backlink is 20% risk of google penalty! Is it right!? So how can we rest assured for making a quality backlink? I can not think any other way 😞

                Internal Linking for Newspaper Websites

                Now, there are a number of do's and dont's when it comes to internal linking, but do those rules apply to news websites that have to interlink relevant news stories, primarily based on their relevancy to the user and the value that they have to provide rather than keeping the idea of page rank sculpting in mind? What's your take on this?
