    RSS feeds in themselves have nothing to do with SEO. What people do is submit their feed URL to blog directories and RSS feed aggregators/directories. Once their feed is there, they get a link.

    RSS submission is a weak backlinking method imho. However, RSS feeds can be good for indexing backlinks. The most effective way to accomplish this is to create custom RSS feeds from rss2html.com and submit these. Then make an RSS feed containing only links to your other RSS feeds (with the backlinks) and submit this -> Tiered RSS submission for indexing. And then ping them all for good measure as well.

    Hope this helps

    RSS I thought was still a part (however minor) of a good seo strategy right?

    I use RSS to help Google crawl some of my links because if Google doesn't index your link it won't count.

    Mix things up as always though, and only RSS your most important backlinks and a few tier 2 backlinks if you are doing this.

    Hello,

    I have the limited knowledge about this which I want to share with you. RSS Feed generally provides the communication between the readers and the publishers.It has the news head lines and offers you to opt in individual content of your interest.With vast communication technique you can feed articles,blogs and forums in it.
    It helps to increase the popularity to generate more back links, that's what i came to know about this.
