So, the googlebot starting from 10,000 computers at Google goes indexing around the internet blindly cramming in whatever it finds. The level of interaction between the website and the bot is so limited that it's highly improbable to get across to searchengine users exactly what you want to convey. Let's take a look at what could be done to bring in a little more of the human element into this machine.

Starting up:

RSS FEEDS: Do I really want to go into what is an RSS feed? Not really. But then, for people who have no idea what i'm talking about, here's a brief introduction: RSS is a format for syndicating news and content. All you need is your content and one RSS text file. It's a headline snapshot of what's new at your site.

Once you've created your RSS file, add the file to various RSS directory services and enjoy the traffic coming in. Any website can integrate and update your feed periodically, so any changes you make on your site are automatically posted onto the internet. Update your RSS file, and all the external sites that subscribe to your feed will be automatically updated.

These are some links which will help you to understand, create and publish RSS feeds.

Coming to the point, what do RSS feeds have that could benefit search engine technology?

Hopefully, you all have gone through the RSS introductions, so you'll know what i'm talking about by now. See, you have a bot coming into your site and just following links around and ranking the sites based on a highly debatable system. If the bot were to look for a specific RSS file which the webmaster updates with information on what's new in his site, the webmaster would be able to convey exactly what he wanted to the endusers. Plus, the bot doesn't need to come back to your site unless you put in something new in your RSS file, cause that's the way RSS works. Your RSS file automatically gets updated all over the internet. So, the ranking could be based on what's new, meaning your site gets better ranking if you have new stuff on your site. Better for the users because they want new content, better for the search engines since it doesn't have to come back to your site unless you post something new( which you don't have to intimate to anybody), better for the webmaster since you now have a quick and efficient way of telling the bot what to take back. No need to rely on the dubious how to's that SEO's give you..

RSS feeds are a huge source for free traffic and to bring in new users.

I find that there are hardly any adult sites using RSS feeds to promote their websites. One of them is Adult Industry News and the rest can be found at 2RSS here. Considering the number of total online adult service providers( do you have any idea how many?) and the huge advertising budgets, I find it amazing that only a handful of people are using RSS feeds as a means of getting people to visit their websites. It's a huge untapped market for free traffic.

How many of your members visit your site everyday to check if you have anything new on your site?

Do you send mailers to your members about what's new at your site? Is it possible for you to contact each and every member, even those who haven't renewed your subscription? Think again. All you have to do is create an RSS feed and inform all your members, current or not, only once to use an RSS reader to update themselves about changes to your site. The RSS reader automatically picks up updates in your feed and informs the user that you have made the changes every time he opens the reader. Get a free RSS reader here to understand this concept. I'm pretty sure it'll make your renewal rate shoot up pretty big.

The success or failure of any technology or concept or invention depends on the number of people using it. If a lot of people begin using this amazing tool, it would increase the benefits this tool offers tenfold. The least you can do is give it a shot. I just updated my RSS file with information about this article, which I just wrote. In 30 minutes, the information will be all across the internet. Welcome to the blog world.
