Basically, any type of updated content such as from rss reeds or blog posts serve 2 purposes.

1. To provide the reader of a site with fresh, up to date information.
2. To provide Spider food a reason for the search engine spiders to visit, take note of and index your site. (Especially valuable when used in conjunction with a pinger that updates certain databases every time new content is posted such as with a blog.)

In lamens terms an RSS feed is simply a piece of code that refers to the contents of a certain kind of web site. For example, every blog has an RSS feed which is a kind of log of the contents of that blog. An RSS feed usually come in the form of a web address that if you enter it into your browser you will see the contents of the blog or website in question.

VERY BORING, right? Heres where it gets exciting.

If you have a blog or website that has an RSS feed, you are open to a very special opportunity for getting your website spidered by the search engines and very quickly indexed and ranked.

Just like a search engine, there are directories for RSS feeds. This means sites that list (and link to) thousands of RSS feeds from the web. As you will know, if you get your own sites link (ie the RSS feed) on a site with a high ranking and high PR your site gets indexed faster and ultiamtely ranked better.., Can you see where were going with this?

Either manually or with certain pieces of software, you can submit your sites feed to an RSS directory to get backlinks, simple as that! Depending on how many you submit to, this will result in the magnetic attraction of loads of search engine spiders who will have a ball crawling and indexing your site.

All you need to find is a list of directories and a quick way to submit to many directories easily and you will have opened the door to a great new way to increase search engine spider activity, get faster indexing, higher rankings and more traffic!

I have used this method to get sites of 1000s of pages indexed within a few days from mass loads of spider crawling.

All the best in taking advantage of this opportunity.
