Google sitemap now supports rss feeds :)
The only issue is that google will only accept the sitemap from the site root url, but that could easily be fixed by having a sitemap file that simply includes the rss2.php feed file.

IMHO this would be a neater solution than using the existing sitemap as its more universal.

Nick: The RSS feed is a good solution, but it only references recent articles. With the sitemap technology you have the capability to drive Google to sections, categories that you want them to analyze, even if content is quite old or not referenced in the RSS feed. Actually, the right alternative to RS would have been OPML, but Google does not support it at the moment. |
