Technical SEO RSS Feeds

This tag covers the technical SEO mechanics behind RSS feeds specifically, for readers who want the underlying detail rather than a general safety reassurance. It explains how canonical tags, feed structure, and site-generated URLs interact with search engine crawling, and where common WordPress issues — like tag archives or paginated category pages generating duplicate internal URLs — can actually create problems unrelated to social automation itself. Articles here also cover how PostRSS's own behavior, checking a feed every 5 minutes and posting only an excerpt and link, is built to avoid introducing new technical SEO issues on top of whatever a site already has. This tag pairs with canonical-tags-rss-feed and automation-technology for related technical detail. It's aimed at more technically-minded readers, as opposed to the broader does-rss-automation-hurt-seo overview tag.
