RSS, or Really Simple Syndication as it is commonly known, is a technology that gives webmasters the ability to easily distribute and publish syndicated content on the Internet. It seems like all Internet businesses now have RSS feeds available; at least your competitors do. You have finally made the decision that you have to have one. Where do you start?

Fortunately, there is a simple, yet very effective method: RSS directory submission. Submitting your RSS newsfeed to specialized news directories benefits your site in several ways.

Pinging every 3 minutes is - even to an idiot - absurd - or at least it should be. Why not just scream, "I AM AN AUTOMATED SEARCH ENGINE SPAM PROGRAM." Lovely footprint, very hard for even a seriously brain-damaged bot to identify.

The text list of URL's was obviously an effort to simplify the process for Yahoo to find all the pages in a website, as their documentation describes. But the RSS? Will they just add this to their database of RSS feeds for RSS searches, or will they follow the links with their spider to evaluate all the pages listed?

An RSS Feed is the way that your information or content can be delivered instantly to the desktop of a subscriber, by passing email and email filters.

Increase link popularity by submitting the RSS feed, blog or podcast to the appropriate directories. The following directories allow submissions of specific kinds of RSS feeds. Be sure to follow the guidelines of each site and choose categories wisely.

Netsplorer™ also provides a groundbreaking approach to RSS article posting. Previously, those who wished to submit their own articles for posting to a potential readership of millions of RSS users needed to go through many different syndication channels to achieve distribution over hundreds of separate feeds. Netsplorer™ offers the potential to deliver this original content from its own web portal.

Another unique feature of the Netsplorer NewsReader™ is the fact that it can also be custom-branded for any company or organization, not only displaying the corporate colors and logo, but also providing a dedicated feed exclusively reserved for the sponsor’s use. Netsplorer™ offers this customization feature to qualified companies and groups, allowing them, in turn, to provide their custom-branded version of the Netsplorer NewsReader free of charge their clients. The custom-branded Netsplorer NewsReader™ not only provides dedicated access to the sponsor’s updates, but also offers free end user access to the entire worldwide collection of syndicated RSS feeds.
