I am about to implement some RSS feeds on my website but have come accross a rather interesting dilema.
I was considering nameing my feed www.widgets.com/rss but then i realised that it might be considered different by spiders & search engines if i named it www.widgets.com/rss.xml
Will spiders treat an xml webpage different when spidering a website?
How about indexing...
Could a webpage with the xml extention be placed lower down in the serps because of browser incompatability?
And most important of all... if i use the webpage www.widgets.com/rss will the search engine understand this contains rss & add these feeds to the appropriate places?
I am sure your agree these are interesting questions, does anyone have an opinions or know the answers?
