Automate Web Pages content with RSS feeds


One of the key ingredients to keep your website listed with top search engines today is new content.

The Internet is growing, and ever changing. The websites of yesterday which are just static HTML pages begin to fade as the most dynamic web sites take their place.

What is the difference between static HTML websites and dynamic websites?

Static HTML Web pages will look the same, if you press the refresh button changes nothing on the page.

A dynamic web page will change automatically every time you press the refresh button, or they can change their content based on what your user, such as clicking on a text or an image.

Adding JavaScript to your site to make it appear that the pages are constantly changing work for human visitors, but not for search engines. Currently all the major search engines can not read JavaScript. They see the Java code, but are unable to read any text that generates JavaScript.

There are some ways you can automate the process of adding search engine friendly content for your web pages.

The fastest and easiest way to add relevant content to any Web page is to use RSS feeds.

What is an RSS feed?

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication".

RSS feeds are available in many different forms.

News feeds that give you the latest breaking news and popular titles on any topic directly related to your web page.

Items can also come in the form of RSS feeds. Thousands of experts in the industry are writing articles today on almost any topic imaginable, and you can use these for free on all web pages, and have them updated daily for you without you ever having to do something.

The posts are another form of RSS feed you can also work. There is literally a million blogs online today, and all they put out their
single RSS feed. When someone always at their blog page RSS feed has been created. While you may not want other peoples blog content of web pages, if you have a blog you can easily have your posts
displayed on your pages.

The companies are also sending the press release RSS feed of all releases submitted through their system.

Almost all RSS publishers want other sites syndicate (republish) their content feeds. This is what has been invented for RSS.

There are some programs out today that will help you master the power of RSS, and at the same time to automate the entire process for you.

These are called RSS to HTML converters, take an RSS feed and convert it to HTML for you. All the ones I've read, are based on PHP and used the software you install on your web server.

I found the installation of these programs to be very easy, and take only a couple of minutes. Upload files to your server, enter your username and password, you did.

Once installed you have a login page that walks you through the entire process. Ask what feeds you want to work, the amount of feed you
displayed on the page, title, author, date, amount of text, you can even change the background colors back or border around the feed, also tell how many times you want the feed updated every hour or every day. There are many more options that are available when working with these programs, most of them are nothing more, then selecting the check box. No programming skills necessary.

In conclusion I want to reiterate that the search engines love fresh content. Using RSS feeds on your website is a great way to keep new content on them automatically for ever .......
