SHould i submit my feed

[Gargen]

Should i submit my rss feed to like 20 or 30 rss directories

[ScottM]

Certainly!

I can't think of any reason not to. "The more the merrier", as they say.

I would suggest researching more before submitting feeds as many sites with RSS feeds I know of have been hit hard.

[Gargen]

what do you mean if someone puts my feed on there site thats a link and some publicity for my site

be warned that a lot of people will use your feed to give themselves free content without giving you a link or any credit - lots of folks do not play by the rules at all (feeds can be used in many ways)

if you want to make your feed available i suggest you post very strict terms and conditions for the use of your feed.

check out someone like the bbc.co.uk to see what terms they impose on other websites. otherwise you may be giving the baby away for nothing.

<<be warned that a lot of people will use your feed to give themselves free content without giving you a link>>

Do you mean they publish your item descriptions without a link, or do they publish the complete items (articles, for example)?

[topr8]

i mean they publish selective contents of the rss file - eg. use the meat of it (even if it is only headlines) without linking back to your site ... for the purpose of giving themselves a continuous supply of fresh content

publishing whole articles would be content theft (unless the whole article was in the feed)
