SEO

This tag covers the relationship between RSS feeds and search engine optimization — whether having an RSS feed helps SEO directly, how RSS interacts with sitemaps and content discovery, and where automated social distribution fits into a broader SEO strategy. Posts here are aimed at clearing up common misconceptions: RSS feeds themselves aren't a ranking factor, but the distribution and traffic they enable have real downstream SEO value. Specific questions get their own articles: whether auto-posted links need rel=nofollow, how Pinterest Rich Pins pull product and article data from your markup, and whether a feed makes any difference to being cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and other answer engines. There is also agency-facing material on distributing client content at scale without creating duplicate-content problems. The consistent line is that a feed is infrastructure for discovery rather than a ranking signal.
