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 ;)

The Cleveland, Ohio skyline

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

A business peer Jeff Billman and I were converting our web sites to the Joomla content management system, Jeff had beat me to replacing the default images. When I first saw his web site, he had a picture of the Cleveland Ohio skyline which I told him was really cool.

We discussed how being within 30 miles of Cleveland we were often considered to be suburban Cleveland. Even the candy company LifeSaver s mentions that Clarence Crain was from Cleveland, Ohio. In reality Clarence was a candy maker from Garrettsville, Ohio in Northeastern Portage County, about 30 miles South and slightly East of Cleveland.

With Jeff being from Windham, Ohio and me Ravenna, we both agreed more people knew where Cleveland was located and that's why that city got the attention over a nearby suburbs. The next day he took my signature and overlaid it over the Clveland skyline picture he had on his page, for my web site too. Then he explained he got the picture from Wikipeodia's Cleveland page and thought it was beautiful. When I see it upon visiting my web site, I see the perspective of a sailboat, and find myself wishing I were sailing.

I share this story to serve toward explaining about where I'm from and that it's possible to share a token of thanks to the community and why I'm using the same picture that Jeff and the Cleveland Ohio community is on JoeRinehart.com .

While my client, peer, and friend Tom Kotovsky of The Healthy Referral Newspaper may not completely approve of using a candy full of sugar inventor to geographically describe the Northest Ohio region I'm from, but he'd still likely smile ;)
