You may refer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS for details about RSS feed.RSS feed is extremely helpful in SEO by quickly indexing your contents on search engines.Now SEO experts are using RSS submission method to quickly index their back link pages in search engines & I hope you know about the benefit of your back links being indexed by search engines.

Hello friends,i think RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, web-logs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.

But that doesn't address its use in SEO. Can you expand on your post?

Using links with anchor texts in content will spread links also with contents so it's increases link popularity and bring visitors on your sites too.

Thanks for trying to expand, but now I have to ask, how does this work with RSS? Pretend our readers know nothing about RSS and explain how it works to them. I am one of those readers with almost no experience of RSS. I can understand how it helps get a site visited by the search engine spider, but I can use social bookmarking for that. But I suspect there are more in depth ways to use RSS.

I wanted for a long time to add RSS feeds to my own pages. I hoped to be able to feed the latest dozen or so adverts to all sections of my site, so that whatever page my visitors landed on they could get an instant update. Unfortunately I never managed to make it work the way I wanted it.

It is a great concept though. take a snippet of content from here, and place it there . .

SEO benefits? Anyone displaying content from another site would normally be linking back to the original content page.

RSS applications seem to have grown extremely fast and the proportion of content on pages that are created elsewhere seem to be getting close to overwhelming, I think 'feeds' are getting overdone.
