News Syndication Plug-in - RSS Feed

An RSS Feed allows easy and constant updates to RSS subscribers of the latest research, events, data sets keeping them informed with virtually zero effort, while also increasing traffic to your site. This can be combined with other news and various transient information, which is placed on the site.

This module scans your site for all the latest information and news stories and turns this into and XML based RSS news syndication file. This file can then be used to show snippets of your news stories on other sites and allow them to link through to you for the full story. This kind of information can be beneficial in terms of inward links and therefore how many visitors you receive. The number of inward links is also something search engines use to determine how popular your site is, so syndication is a very good way of getting good search results.
