FC + RSS = SEO
Larry Westfall
No, this is not the new math. It is the formula for getting your
web site recognized by the search engine spider.
The formula is Fresh Content + Really Simple Syndication =
Search Engine Optimization. This is an easy way to get the
search engine spiders to come and visit your site on a regular
basis, see that "updates" have been made, and get you ranked
higher in the directories.
It isn't that difficult to write a 300 - 500 word article about
your favorite subject matter. What works for me is to set aside
a couple of hours a week and knock out 5 - 7 articles at one
time to use during the upcoming week. The articles are all
different but are similar, so writing them in one sitting is a
bit easier. Writing your own content is still the best method
but article submission sites can help you out when you have
"writer's block".
Getting fresh content can be easy with the many article
submission sites available on the Internet. All you have to do
is search for articles related to your site, copy them and add
them to your site. Ensure that you credit the author by leaving
the resource box, along with a live link, intact. You can grab
many articles at one sitting and save them for later updates.
Add some content to your site on a regular basis - preferably
daily. You will be amazed at how quick your new site gets
indexed and happy with the rankings of your current site as it
goes higher and higher.
RSS is an XML formatted style for syndicating content. Users
that have RSS readers can then pick up your content and read it
at their leisure. Your content will then be all over the
Internet giving you maximum exposure.
One additional tip is to add a news aggregator to your site.
This will put current news headlines and snippets of the
articles on your site. Again, this adds fresh content, making
the search engine spiders happy.
So, a few simple adjustments to your web site can bring more
visitors, happy spiders and fame and fortune to the authors of
the original articles.
