  Full_Feeds Comment

  Just letting you know that I changed to full feeds for now. Techorati is accepting pings and we'll see how it goes from here. Maybe I should create another feed with short titles and descriptions. Anyone know how I can do that on...

  RSS_and_Atom_Both_a_bad_idea Comment

  Never thought of it that way - That you end up with two different items of identical content. I'm linking to both the RSS and atom feed from my blog home page. Dunno why, but only atom page is getting spidered by all the search engines. They simply...

  Feedster help Message

  Hi,

  How do I add my feed to feedster.com. I've gone through their help at least three times, and I can't find a place to add my feed. It just says "find out if your feed is being indexed or not." and mine isn't. I've sent them a contact email, but no...

  Adding a Blog feed to Yahoo Site Explorer Message

  http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/

  It's much the same as Google's webmaster tools and sitemap section. Only thing is, Google allows you to authenticate a site or blog using meta tags. Yahoo has no such thing, and you need to upload a file using FTP...

  Full_Feeds Comment

  Uh...Yes, I think I can make the feeds profitable. But I don't see the point of doing it on a blog, without adsense in the feeds. I do want to know if there's any way I can get Technorati to accept pings from the short...

  Full Feeds Message

  Hi,

  Blogsot has two options for feeds - full feeds ( full content of the post ) or short feeds ( title and short description ). Now, blogspot says that Adsense for feeds is in beta testing, and I'm not allowed to sign up. So there's not much point...

  RSS_to_HTML Comment

  You can specify the feed local cache time. Of course, the feed provider has to decide if it's worth it. If you keep sucking feeds every 30 minutes, there's a good chance he may get pissed.

  As for duplicate content, feed syndication does not fall into...

  RSS to HTML Message

  If you want to have fresh content on your site automatically updated, there's nothing like RSS. But only problem is, search engines like static HTML pages, which are regularly updated. So, how do you manage to do both without touching the page? You...

  making_an_rss_feed Comment

  Well, it depends on the target audience.

  If you want your feed displayed on other websites, then you want to have a short title, small descriptions and 5-10 items.

  If you're looking at individual visitors, more and more sites are simply syndicating...

  making_an_rss_feed Comment

  That should help you do it. Though there's a lot of web tools which automatically create rss feeds for you. All you need to is specify your URL, or website link. There are also software which you download and use to create RSS feeds.

  Here's a list...

  KISS_RSS_KILL_ATOM Comment

  They do, but I don't see them pushing it. In your blogspot, when you look for your feed, it says blahblah.blogspot.com/atom.xml. How many bloggers go and check for rss.xml, to see if it exists? The only reason I found out was because I wanted to submit...

  KISS_RSS_KILL_ATOM Comment

  Well, since Google provides Atom feeds for blogspot, that effectively kills RSS. While the old RSS aggreagators are still sticking to it, I don't see a future for them, unless they switch over. If Google wants something, Google gets...

  Using your rss feed as a sitemap Message

  Hi,

  Just bumped into this forum. I've been hooked on RSS even before it became popular. Did you know that you can use your site feed as sitemap to let search engines know about new content on your website. You should try it out, specially if you don't...
