RSS feeds and why webmasters need them
There still seems to be a lot of confusion among webmasters of how RSS feeds can be of benefit to webmasters. From a users perspective once they have subscribed to an RSS feed then it is pretty clear what the benefits are to them. For a webmaster it is not so clear how they will benefit from offering RSS feeds from there site. So here are a few pointers.
You can submit your RSS feeds to the Google personalized homepage. As yet it is not clear how Google will be using this information or if it will help webmasters promote their own RSS feeds.
To add your feeds to Google you need to sign up for a personal account. Once you have done this you can log into your account. To add a feed just click on the add content link and then the create a section. You can now type in the url of your feed and click add.
MSN search for RSS
You can now search RSS feeds on MSN search. This allows you to find results within RSS feeds and it uses the search operator Feed: followed by your search term. So if you wanted to search for mentions of your site in feeds you could perform a search like this. You just need to replace Newsniche with your site name.
Microsoft search has also added the search operator Hasfeed: that allows you to search for sites that link to an RSS feed. You could use this to find out which sites link to your RSS feed with the query Hasfeed: yoursite.com, this returns all sites that have a link to your feed.
