How RSS Site Maps Get Noticed Using RSS Auto Discovery

Postby MaxPowers » August 1st, 2006, 6:06 pm

You can get your RSS sitemap noticed on your website either by using a simple link on your pages or by adding a small bit of HTML code to setup Auto Discovery of your RSS feeds and to get the orange icon you see in the address bar (after the URL for this page).

Code: Select all
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0 Sitemap" href="http://www.automapit.com/sitemap.rss" />


When placed in the head section of your HTML, this lets browsers and search engines know where your feed is and will generally try to import the URL you use in your href="" as a Live Feed. This makes it much easier for many RSS readers to quickly integrate your sitemap feeds.

As soon as your sitemap has updated pages added to it, the RSS readers will all show your latest content.
