What Are RSS Feeds?If you are a webmaster, or even if you just surf the internet, you have probably heard about news feeds.But like many internet surfers, or even professional webmasters, you may not understand exactly what these are, or how they can help you.
Well, these feeds are written in a portable markup language called XML. Basically they contain the content of a website without all of the extra decoration. May common website content management systems automatically produce these files so a webmaster really does not have to do any coding or manual work at all. Wordpress is a common example of this.
What are RSS Feeds Good For?
- Other websites can easilly display portions of content that will be automatically updated to keep it fresh.
- Website visitors may subscribe to this feed content through a feed reader or their email.
- The website that produces the feed gets the advantage of free backlinks from other websites or feed directories like this one.
