hi friends,

can any one say a few words about this.....

thanks,
Jag :)

Sitemaps simply help Google know which urls you especially want indexed.

do anyone explain about rss xml feed

i found a Query stats in google sitemap where i found top Top search queries, Top search query clicks and Top searches from mobile devices

Do we have to submit rss xml feed to any search engines and directories

Thanks

Google sitemaps is the system that tells G which pages your website contains. If you have an website with URL with parameters then the googlebot won't crawl to much of it, especially if you have multiple parameters(more than two).
So, you must create a sitemap file and tell google what pages your server contain. Then the googlebot will came on your sitemap file and will try to reach those URL that normally he will have problems crawling.

The XML files are one of the file formats accepted by Google to submit sitemaps. I think RSS Feeds you are reffering to, can also be a XML file that mainly will "announce" some subscribers on the new published on your website.

Hope it helps,
Traian

ya for news we use xml ....am not asking about that
i am asking about a file called feed.xml which is submitted in some search engine and directories.This file have details of our page title, keywords and page description like same we use for web page optimization with the url.

Well,

You should submit to all the sites that are accepting rss feed for inclusion. The only one I know worthy is yahoo and google, and somehow tricky, MSN.

Better check this out about yahoo(BTW, seems that link does not work anymore :( ): http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request

can u refer to some of ur forum friends about this post?

i belive this feed.xml make a great difference in fast seo in natural ways

One of my optimized site rss xml feed has been indexed by G, when i search with one of my optimized keywords, this rss is getting listed, how will people come to my site, rss displays only a "plain text" and not "<a href link>".


Is there any solution for it?

Thanks

Jag,

Your RSS feed won't help you in rankings anyway. Using it, you just tell the search engines that the page exists. It will help you only to get your pages crawled and that's it. Then, knowing that your page is out there, there is more probably that SE's crawlers will parse the page and rank it.

My rss feed is ranked by G, thats the matter and some SE keywords on top.

Those are very competative keywords, thats the fun.

Am confused what to do...

Cheers

What about a sample.. :)

dreamdestinations.in/feed.xml

can u find a PR 1, but now am not able to locate the link for se keywords.

Will search for it.. sure

I see a PR of 2 foor home page and a PR of 0 for yor feed page. Do you rank for the xml page? That's interesting...I hope you are not building links for that page. :)

place www in front of the domain to see page rank

More over the site is new and just started for LB, and the domain is .in ranking will be very slow.u can see some of the inner page rank as 3.

Next rank raise u can see it as PR 4 ;)

jug,

just build the content on that site and keep building useful backlinks, one way backlinks if possible. Try to avoid having pages like you do have ....in/info.asp.

Good luck,
Traian

That info.asp is not for useful links page... its a general information link waiting for content... Reg useful link u can find another links

Did u see one of the feed.xml file ranked, is there any use of it?

Thanks
Jag

Sure, anything can have a PR score, if you can link to it. All those links add up. But can it pass PR elsewhere. Look at the cahced copy of your page: http://66.249.93.104/search?sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&q=cache:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.findyourfate.com%2Frss%2F rss.xml. The "links" aren't proper links -- no PR passing. Well, to be honest, Google probably could parse out the lins to use for PR purposes, if it wanted. But I wouldn't be depending on that.

Yes i saw chached content, how u say its not proper links and how to pass PR

Is there any major reason for converting RSS to HTML

Thanks in advance

Jag

RSS is normally used for syndicating content you already have on site, so in answer to that question no. Some people use XML as the data layer for the websites, however that is probably not what you are talking about.

Danny (as usual) has it the nail on the head, with his explanation of the benefits (or lack of them) of building PR in up on a xml file.

How often G SE reads G sitemap?

Any idea friends :)

Nobody here to say a few things about the Q

Google Webmasters / Sitemap Updated

I see two large advantages of using Google Sitemaps:

1. If you have never done so, being forced to crawl your site will almost always show you things that you did not expect. If you use an external sitemap generator (ok, I'm biased ;) ) that crawls your site, then you will be doing something very similar to what the search engines do. I have almost never seen a site that did not have a problem the first time it was crawled (unless it's a one-page site). Most sites have severe issues that really make a big difference, be it massive duplicate content, crawler traps (infinite URLs) or crawler blocks (content behind javascript menus, post-based navigation, etc). If you are experienced with websites and have crawled sites before, then your site will likely be more or less ok - but for those who haven't, being "forced" to crawl your site (in order to make a XML sitemap file) will usually bring crawlability issues to light. If a site has issues like that, then fixing them will almost certainly make a big dent in crawling, indexing and ranking.

2. If you update or add content, a XML sitemap file will direct Google's crawlers directly to those changes, provided you supply the last-modification-date in your sitemap file. By "pinging" Google, you can almost be sure that they crawl your changed pages right away (I've often seen times below an hour). If your site is several layers deep, Google would otherwise have to crawl all those URLs until it finds the one detail page that is changed or new. With a sitemap file, they will go straight to the modified page, find the new link and crawl the new page. It doesn't get any better than that.

Great, it mainly helps shopping sites having dynamic driven pages with Id's and generates traffic.

Any other ideas?

hi jag,

A good tip when working with SiteMap tools, find one that can handle more than 50K pages, and invest a few bucks in it for the long run. Every SEs will appreciate your sitemap submission as good SEO behavior.

We found a good one for our baby portal (currently is free)
