I heard somewhere that if you put a RSS feed on your page that Yahoo bots will come over and spider your site within 24-48 hours time. Has anyone verified this?

Share your thoughts and ideas on this.

I have an rss feed on my main site.. this is what i have got in the past week:

Yahoo 17 30.36%
Google 13 23.21%
Link Walker 5 8.93%
IBM Crawler 4 7.14%
MSN 3 5.36%
Websense 3 5.36%
Alexa 2 3.57%
lwp 2 3.57%
Gaisbot 1 1.79%
Larbin 1 1.79%

dino if this is impressive or not to be honset i hardly look but my new counter checks the bots..

i think results of google and yahoo visiting my site an average of 2 times a day is quiet good and that thanks to the ever changing content of my feed.

maybe u can laugh at me but its better than some sites where google may visit say once or twice a week.....

I installed Carp and got it to display their sample newsfeed properly on my site. I noticed the url in their feed ends with .rss, however when I have looked at rss feed directories and click the 'add this feed to your site' link, the URL's end with .xml which doesn't work when I stick it in the carp code. Where do I find the .rss URL for a particular feed?

thanks for any help!
