RSS Feed Directories

It’s becoming impossible to ignore the growth of RSS (Really Simple Syndication). Most major technology sites deploy feeds that users can grab and aggregate onto their own sites or feed readers. RSS feeds are of interest to webmaster and bloggers who want to give their sites more exposure. Usually, the way these directories work is that after submission, your feed sits in the directory until it’s updated, then the update goes to a “recent” page displaying a link to the post you just made. You can imagine how active feeds can gain a great amount of exposure this way.

If you hunger for place to submit your site feed, check out the RSS feed directories section I just added that gives webmasters visibility into sites that allow feed submission. I’ve checked each of these feeds to try and ensure they are the best quality. RSS feed directories are also helpful to announce new new blog sites. Webmasters of these types of directory sites fight a constant battle with spammer feeds (spammer blogs = splogs), so despite the goal of automation, they require human maintenance to assure quality. The RSS feed directory attempts to include only quality directories that allow free submissions and are well maintained. A nice listing of blog feed submission sites appears at RSS-Specifications.com. You can also “ping” your site feed at Pingoat, a very powerful and humorous tool for notifying sites of updates to your feed.
