SEO for beginners Part 5 - Blogs and RSS Feeds
Blogs/Blogging
A Blog (Weblog/Web Log) is a great communication tool. Visitors can be attracted through rich and informative content (you have arrived here haven’t you?). By linking to your site from your blog and visa versa, your traffic can be increased. This does rely on you and can be a hefty time investment if you want to do really well at it but the rewards can be great. If you creat a blog, consider registering with a number of the blog communities and rating sites such as digg, delicious and more.
RSS
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a method of ordering and displaying articles. In SEO terms they are useful for retaining visitors (if 25% of your visitors subscribe to your blog RSS feed they will know as soon as you have added new content). Search engines and users alike will always have information on your latest post(s).
