| RSS feeds bring automatically updated information straight from a website. You can monitor news, blogs, job listings, personals, and classifieds. More and more sites offer feeds, which you can identify by a small button that says either RSS or XML. If you click on one of these links, you will most likely get a page with three or four of the latest blog news feeds.
For example here is our RSS feed for our Blog and News.

The RSS feed picks up the latest feeds from a news area and places them on a page in one feed. There are many plugins available for most websites including PHPBB, WordPress and Joomla. Once you've created your RSS feed for your website you can then start submit the URL RSS feed across the Internet on RSS feed directories, this will help with creating back links back to your own website.
At the same time by doing this you ensure that the content you are leaving on the directory websites is going to be updated via your own website, it's like having a centralised location for all your content that automatically distributed your information over the Internet from you.
Web feeds have some advantages compared to receiving frequently published content via an email:
1. Users do not disclose their email address when subscribing to a feed and so are not increasing their exposure to threats associated with email: spam, viruses, phishing, and identity theft.
2. Users do not have to send an unsubscribe request to stop receiving news. They simply remove the feed from their aggregator.
3. The news feed items are automatically sorted in that each feed URL has its own sets of entries (unlike an email box where messages must be sorted by user-defined rules and pattern matching).
The best way to test RSS feeds would be to subscribe two our >web design RSS feed about |
