Using XML to display HTML

[UltraZulu]

Hi all

I was quite amazed not to find any threads on how we can use xml and html to produce content that will please the search engines.

Is it impossible to display valid html from syndicated content using xml that is both browser and spider compatible?

I have several feeds that I would like to use accross my sites, but have not been able to find one that produces content that is crawlable by the spiders.

Also, if it is possible, what are the implications on duplicate content.

Thanks

The reason that you haven't found any threads about it is probably that it's not a problem :)

Personally I have not found it to be any problem. If you recieve a XML feed and process it server side to output some HTML as part of the page you return on request then there should be no problems at all. Spiders won't know. All they really care about is what the server return when they request a URL.

Maybe I am misunderstanding your question ...?

Let me explain quickly. I did not really know what I was looking when posting this question. I have done some more research and read SEOMike's article.

It helped me alot, much thanks.
