Use RSS feeds to improve your
link popularity
Maybe you've seen these little orange 
images that appear on many web pages (if you haven't, take
a look at the lower left side of our newsletter index
page).
Although these images look very inconspicuous, they can help
you to improve the link popularity of your web site. The XML
image shows that the web site offers an RSS feed for its web
site content.
What is RSS?
RSS means Really Simply Syndication. It is a simple XML
format that allows you to share your news headlines and
other web content with other sites. Basically, RSS allows
you to distribute your "What's new" section to
other web sites quickly and easily.
RSS is used by many popular web sites such as CNN, Forbes,
Motley Fool and the BBC. Yahoo allows its users to quickly
add
RSS feeds to their MyYahoo service.
Why do RSS feeds improve the link popularity of my
web site?
When another web site uses your RSS feed to display your
news items it will automatically place a link to your site.
The more web sites use your news feed, the more web sites
will link to your site.
For every news item you publish in your RSS feed, you'll
get another link from all web sites that publish your RSS
feed.
How do you create RSS feeds?
RSS feed only makes sense for your web site if you regularly
posts news items that are interesting to other web sites.
If you don't regularly update your news, RSS feeds won't
work for you.
RSS feeds are XML files that must have a valid syntax.
Here are details on how
to create RSS feeds.
It can be quite complicated to produce valid RSS feeds.
Fortunately, there are tools that can help you with this
task.
We highly recommend the tool FeedForAll
to quickly create RSS feeds.

to improve the link popularity of your web site. If you don't
have a blog or regular news on your web site, take a look
