RSS feeds to improve your link popularity - Article Provided by Axandra
Maybe you've seen these little
orange images that appear on many web pages (if
you haven't, take a look at the lower left side
of our newsletter index page).
Although these images look very inconspicuous,
they can help you to improve the link popularity
of your web site. The XML image shows that the
web site offers an RSS feed for its web site
content.
What is RSS?
RSS means Really
Simply Syndication. It is a simple XML format
that
allows you to share
your news headlines and other web content with
other sites. Basically, RSS allows you to distribute
your "What's new" section to other
web sites quickly and easily.
RSS is used by many popular web sites such
as CNN, Forbes, Motley Fool and the BBC. Yahoo
allows its users to quickly add RSS feeds to
their MyYahoo service.
Why do RSS feeds improve the link popularity
of my web site?
When another web site uses your RSS feed to
display your news items it will automatically
place a link to your site. The more web sites
use your news feed, the more web sites will link
to your site.
For every news item you publish in your RSS
feed, you'll get another link from all web sites
that publish your RSS feed.
How
do you create RSS feeds?
RSS feed only makes sense for your web site
if you regularly posts news items that are interesting
to other web sites. If you don't regularly update
your news, RSS feeds won't work for you.
RSS feeds are XML files that must have a valid
syntax. Here are details on how to create RSS
feeds.
It can be quite complicated to produce valid
RSS feeds. Fortunately, there are tools that
can help you with this task.
We highly recommend the tool FeedForAll to
quickly create RSS feeds.
If you have a new page or a blog, RSS feeds
can help you to improve the link popularity of
your web site. If you don't have a blog or regular
news on your web site, take a look at our link
popularity tool ARELIS.
ARELIS helps you to locate and manage new link
partners, it helps you to quickly build custom
link pages with a few mouse clicks and it helps
you to check if your link partners still link
back to you. Download your trial here.
