What is RSS and it's relationship to SEO

So what is RSS and how does it help SEO

First: RSS is an acronym depending on what version of RSS you are referring to:

* Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)
* RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)
* Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)

Second: a simple video explanation I found on YouTube explains the old way-new way value of RSS.

More detailed information may be found online at http://www.whatisrss.com/ and about everything you could wish to know about RSS is at http://en.wikipedia.org/

In relationship to SEO, the bottom line is you may disseminate your web sites articles, news, and web pages to other third party sites. When a reader finds a headline of interest it brings them to your site for the full article.

I have one of my favorite links directories SEO: RSS Feed Directories is currently available to non-registered users. Once I'm convinced I've submitted my own sites to all the directories I've researched with any page rank value or real tangible value to my mind, I'll close my favorite links category SEO: RSS Feed Directories to registered users only... Needless to say, there are several of my favorite links categories that are only available to registered users ;)

I was digging around archive.org (now known as the way back machine) for a copy of one of the actual ads that I authored and ran in Computer Shopper between Oct '93 and Oct '94 a couple of years before the Internet was commercial for an interview today with The Daily Kent Stater at Kent State University and found one from Oct '94.

1993-94 Internet ad in Computer Shopper

Usually when I tell people about my 15 minutes of fame according to Andy Warhol they'll respond "but we all know that Al Gore invented the Internet". I'll smile and respond I don't claim to have invented the 'net, or wish to take anything away from either Al Gore or Tim Berners-Lee, just having attempted to captilize on it as ethically as possible at the time through traditional print media instead of spam (still a bad thing), for which I'm very proud to have been at the right place at the right time in history.

Historical 1993-94 Internet ad in Computer Shopper

We were selling screaming fast single spin CD-ROM drives and maintained the largest selection of discs - LOL

At the time there were only two distributors in America selling CD-ROM discs and neither sold overseas. We saw that as an opportunity. Since the config.sys file was the first and most important file on a computer which told the system where the address for devices like CD-ROM drives were, we named the company config.sys (now known as config.com)

I've always joked that we didn't make our first gazillion dollars selling CD's because computers were not as popular as they have become today

The Commerce Exchange CD

An interesting turn in our company also occurred in Oct of 1994 when I produced a CD-ROM disc called "The Commerce Exchange" which the idea was to distribute commercial catalogs bundled with what was the largest game collection available via "electronic marketing" (now known as search engine optimization (SEO) and in those days it was conducted in the USENET newsgroups instead of web pages) via the Internet. It was taboo to use the Internet for commerce in those days, but we found that if we provided Information, it was viewed differently much like advertising supporting a newspaper so we established one of the oldest commercial newsgroups alt.cdrom.reviews which was well accepted in those pre-commercialism of the 'net days.

The Internet became commerical in March of 1995 which was about two weeks after our Commerce Exchange was released. While sales initially went through the roof, then died just as quick since all of a sudden the merchants supporting our disc could get a web site. It was just another great idea, three months too late.This was when we evolved our company toward publishing and manipulating content on the Internet web and have been doing so ever since....

More detailed information about the history of config.com is available on our company timetable webpage

Grandtec surveillance IP wifi webcam

In the early days proceeding the Internets commercialism between 1993 and 1994 I used to review CD-ROM discs and in fact founded the usenet newsgroup alt.cd-rom.reviews. Upon discussing this history with a client called Practical Solutions who markets web cameras for surveillance manufactured under the trade name GrandTec by GH Plastic Manufacturing Co., Ltd. of Taiwan it was suggested a review of a web camera might be a lot of fun.

I agreed to offer my unbiased opinion without compensation or fee other than I'd not have to ship the web camera back and could keep it for a momento of my web came review. A couple of weeks later the best model manufactured by GrandTec called the "Grand Pan/Tilt Wi-Fi Camera" was delivered by my United States Postal carrier. My 10 year old son Jeremiah was impressed with the stamps promoting the 2008 Olympics in Beijing China with Chinese characters
