As I said in a previous post, once I understood RSS, XML files, then they are quite easy to create and update, but I am still learning. I thought that it was just the same system as websites, you just link to your RSS feed from a high ranking webpage, which I have, then the search engines will find it and list it automatically. But it is not quite as simple as that, I can find my blog in any search engine now, because I do SEO daily, but I couldn't find my RSS feed anywhere.
On further research into this, I found out that RSS feeds and blogs are listed in special directories, not just normal search engines and these are used to feed the search engines. So still learning, I managed to find a listing of all of the directories that specialise in RSS and blogs and it is a very long list. Next I started working my way through this list and it is a very slow process, because many of these directories you have to register on before they will accept any RSS link from you.
But I worked my way through the list eventually and now my RSS feed is a lot more visible on the web.
Cheers for now Legless
