How Are You Promoting Your RSS Feeds?

I have written in the past about different ways that RSS feeds can benefit your business. The Benefits of RSS One way was from the perspective of the subscriber. You can boost your productivity by having all of your favorite blogs and news sources coming right to you in one place. This can be a tremendous time saver, particularly for those who do a lot of reading and research.

Getting Indexed with Feeds

I got a Google Alert of a site that used my name the other day, and was a bit surprised at the source—a self-described "black hat" firm that helps people use aggressive (some might say shady) techniques for search optimization. Happily, they didn't quote me as supporting unethical techniques, but they sell a package that helps you get your pages indexed and they quote me to show that some things they sell really are ethical. I haven't used their software, but the idea of using Web feeds to improve page indexing is a good one.
