After reading the post again, well, I missed explaining why search spiders like feeds so much. The answer is structured data.

PC Magazine defines structured data as, "Data that resides in fixed fields within a record or file. Relational databases and spreadsheets are examples of structured data. Contrast with unstructured data." I'm sure a future revised version will include XML or RSS ;-).

When your content is placed into feeds it has the benefit of being described by a template - structured data. It is described by elements in the feed the same as mine, CNN.com, Apple, Microsoft or anyone else with a RSS feed. RSS is the ubiquitous, defacto standard for syndication. The simplicity of RSS as a standard to describe your content's title, description, dates, content, enclosures, etc makes it a magic API for search engines, developers and database administrators. Your website doesn't do this. It is full of unstructured data.

On your site the post titles could be in a h1-6 tag, div or a legacy table cell with a style applied to it. This makes it harder for search engines to understand your content. Sure, there are insanely engineered algorithms that are in place to create associations between the content on your site and the code that is used to display it, but RSS makes it uniform and much easier for search companies to cache, categorize, rank and re-syndicate your ideas. The primary reason is that the feed describes the data types instead ot telling a browser how to display it.

So, like I said in the last post, "Treat your feeds with the same care that you do your pages," with the caveat that maybe you need to treat them better because the next iteration of the web is being built on structured data.

Things were just clicking today for some reason and I couldn't let it go. I think it is easier than ever to get to all the content in the site.

Maybe it's the Grinderman?
  1. comments RSS feed and respective page
  2. cleaned up all feeds and urls to make them more human readable - for example www.croncast.com/all.rss instead of www.croncast.com/feedbuffet/all/feed.php
  3. setting feeds that are indexed by search engines to redirect to the internal Croncast search page if they are clicked from google, yahoo, aol and others (this is a big deal since many of the people clicking these links have no clue what rss is especially porno seekers. example page 3 of these google results search for "spice channel" resullt 21 is a keyword feed . . . copy the url and add it to your reader and it works no problem, click it and it will take you to the same results as the feed but only at the website, nice)
  4. added the unique feed to the internal search results for those who have been referred by a search engine
  5. added the unique feed to the internal search results for regular users button looks like this - example Kris Smith
  6. created new includes for blog, podcast, news and all content archives so they can plug and play on any page
  7. re-ordered the navigation
  8. created a two new archive pages - one for navigation of all content with pseudo categories and the other as a master archive of shows by month
  9. edited internal search results page to recognize when referrer is a search engine to display a message that explains what Croncast
  10. added another adwords box to the search results after item 7 in the returned results
  11. tons of other mundane stuff for tracking keyword feeds and referrers
Up for tomorrow
  1. new rss page
  2. moderated media rss (mmrss) creation tool, for listeners (it's going to be sick)
  3. new contact page
  4. new "people say" section for listeners to leave reviews
  5. new db table to hold mobile browsers to redirect for rss
