Link Building is one of the most successful ways of securing substantial online presence. Your blog or website can make it to the A listers in hardly any time if you go about doing the right things, the right way.

About RSS For Blog

April 28, 2009

The term RSS is short for Really Simple Syndication. Before RSS feeds were available, in order to keep up with certain web sites a person had to book mark the web site and check in every other day or so to see if anything had been changed.

And for those sites that don’t get updated regularly, it’s a waste of time to check them. RSS feeds took those hassles away by sending updated content to various feed readers or to people’s email inbox.

So let us assume you have created your web pages full of things that thousands of people would love to read. Now you sit back and wait for the visitors to roll in - right? Wrong. Even if Google indexes your site and can see what your website is about and that it is the kind of informative site that it values, you are not going to show up in search results unless Google also thinks your site is ‘important’.

When Google’s algorithm sorts web pages into some sort of order, it does all sorts of complicated things that no-one outside Google really understands. However, there is general agreement that the main two things it does are sort out which sites are relevant to the term searched for, and then rank them in order of importance. Google judges importance to a great extent by the number and type of links pointing to the site from other websites. Read more
