Sorry Guys,... I need to ask thiss AGAIN (RSS FEEDS)

3 replies
I am very sorry to sask this again, but I Don't understand yet!!

We have to submit our RSS feeds to directories because:

1.- It will generate a backlink to our website from each RSS directory we submit the Feed

or

2.- It will crawl oiur website frequently to see what new content we have published

??

As there are hundreds (thousands?) of RSS directories, How can we sumit our RSS feed to All (or almost all) of them automatically or easily? Or there is no way and we have to do it manually one by one?

Again, sorry for asking about RSS Feeds again, But I need to understand.

Cheers!

    Hi Chewie,

    Here's a link to a page that you might find useful:
    Benefits of RSS Feeds for Webmasters - RSS Feed Guide

    When it comes to submitting your feed you can go the free route and use Pingler which is probably the best of many rss submission sites, or alternatively use software to do the job automatically for you. I, like many Warriors, use and would recommend Big Mike's RSS Bot if you choose to automate.

    Mike has been known to offer discounts on the WSO forum when he's been down to the local taverna so you may want to check if there are any current or upcoming offers.

    You can also add a ping list to your blog or should be able to.

    Just do a search for ping list.

    It is sort of different to normal search engine tactics and provides content more in the style of social bookmarking. That is puts your content where people hang out.

    It then updates on auto every time you post.

    Another benefit of posting your RSS feeds is that it increases the chances of your blog getting syndicated (republished on other sites).

    Pinging is somewhat different from RSS directory submission, since pinging actually notifies when the blog is updated, and is independant of the RSS feed. The RSS directory submission is something that only needs to be done once per feed (most, but not all, blogs only have one). The directory will then monitor the feed for updates.

    So - pinging - once per post
    RSS Directory Submission - once per feed
