XML Feed Network

[Richard Smith]

How does the XML Feed work on search networks?

An RSS feed is an XML feed. RSS is a standard for the syndication of content. IT is relay powerful. There is nothing special to them at all it is just XML in a certain format. XML its self is not too different from HTML except that you make your own tags up and it is very strict - ie everything must be properly nested.

In RSS you start with a description of the site that produces the feed then you open a channel which contains items, titles, authors, and descriptions, etc. These link to the full articles. RSS is primarily news based which is why the date bit is included. Have a look at an RSS feed - like the one on SEOChat for example!
