Those of you interested in increasing the reach and visibility of your RSS feeds, you now have a fast, easy and direct way to submit your those feeds to Google itself, While it is hard to say now how and when Google will start leveraging that RSS-based content to augment, expand and diversify its search capabilities.
You can submit your RSS feeds to the Google personalized homepage. To add your feeds to Google you need to sign up for a personal account. Once you have done this, you can log into your account. To add a feed just click on the add content link in your personalized account page. It will take you to the page where you can add gadgets as well as you can add your RSS to that page just by clicking Add feed or gadget. By clicking the link a small window will appear. You can now type in the URL of your feed and click add. The new feeds added to your personal Google homepage will appear showing the feed title and by default the 3 most recent items.Currently only the titles of each item are displayed and clicking this takes you directly to the linked page. At the very least this allows you to make Google aware of your RSS feeds by creating your own personal homepage and adding your own feeds. Perhaps the future will bring and RSS search facility within Google that will be a boon for RSS publishers. The Google personalized homepage seems to be treating RSS feeds as news headlines rather than the more techie RSS feed look. This would suggest Google may be going for a simple implementation of RSS so as to appeal to the less techie audience who are mostly unaware of RSS. If this is the direction Google are taking then it would make sense that Google will be adding some sort of news search facility on the personalized homepage to make it easier for users to search for news that they are interested in. At the moment the RSS feed URL has to be entered which is really only useful to those who are familiar with RSS. courtesy : http://www.newsniche.com/submit-your-rss-feed-to-google.php |
