RSS and Atom Feeds have become very popular in today’s Web 2.0 age, where there is an increasing need for relevant and fresh content on a continual basis. In an effort to provide visitors with such relevant and fresh content, website owners have sought techniques that provide RSS Feeds that are generally relevant, and for obvious reasons, are most easy to implement and maintain. One of the most common techniques for website owners is to use Javascript based RSS Feeds that are tied to a particular category of choice.
Javascript based RSS Feeds can provide fresh content, however, lack in being search engine friendly. Search Engines are unable to index Javascript based RSS Feeds. As a result, Search Engines do not index the RSS Feeds data, thus failing to enhance the page ranking or site ranking for the topic associated with the site. Search Engines prefer HTML content and have no issues indexing HTML content, thereby ultimately yielding higher page ranking and increased organic traffic. However, RSS Feeds that are HTML based are much more complicated to implement than Javascript based RSS Feeds. Another issue with today’s RSS Feeds relates to the source of the content itself.
Category based RSS Feeds generally satisfy relevancy, provided the category fits the profile of the website. In today’s competitive landscape, web authors often wish to optimize their sites with specific keywords, rather than a broad category. Additionally, RSS Feeds tied to specific keywords, and not a general category, enhances end user experience and visitor loyalty due to the increased relevancy.
