I have been running into some mixed reviews on RSS feeds for websites. I have been reading online that they can be a great way to provide news updates to customers relating to your industry, and that if they are in PHP and not Javasript, they can be read by search engines and are a great way to keep fresh content.
My companies site is hosted and managed by a local guy, and he thought that SE's could read javascript just fine but that RSS would most likely be ignored by SE's because it is just a mirror of another site.
Unfortunately, I can only edit the site using a WYSIWYG so I have limited access. Here are my questions:
1. Can SE's read Javascript?
2. Does RSS help with fresh content or is it ignored by SE's?
3. Given my limited access (and knowledge, and assuming RSS helps
SEO), what would be the best way for me to add RSS to my site?
