Some of you might have noticed sometimes the banner for the "support" section wouldn't load and the page top was white, no more. I added some new random image code and voila, fixed (pronounced f-i-xed).

Removed the section for "what is rss" and added it the main "rss feeds" page.

The second clue was the form button labeled 'search'. Woohoo! Thank you Google Reader team. We're not all the way there yet though.Now we need feeds for those searches and feeds from tags. Somebody I know has got that fired up already . . .I no Google Reader, RSS feeds, search feeds, keyword rss feeds, And you're a giant nerd. http://www.croncast.com/rssk/892/And-youre-a-giant-nerd_giant-nerd_google-rss.php Blog Scott appears to be correct.

He sent me an email yesterday to say that he and Pete had a conversation about something. Which evidently happens on occasion. From the email and attached screen shot I deduced that the discussion was about Google indexing RSS feeds and linking directly to them and how that sucks. 'Cause it does.

Don't get me wrong I love Google for indexing feeds. Seriously, it rocks. They are leading in this area.

Let me show you what's going on:

1. Scott searches at Google for an awesome party in Chicago called "The Deaf Chicago Party" (remind me to ask him about this) and the first result is Croncast.



The first thing to pay attention to in this image to pay attention to is the green URL - http://www.croncast.com/keyrss/Chicago party.rss. Yep, it's a RSS feed and not a web page. To which I say, "right on." However, 99.9 times out of 100 when when someone clicks through and RSS link in Google they get a face full of XML or an ugly feed. Click the link above to see.

2. Scott clicked on my link to the RSS from Google and and something magical happened. See the screen shot that he sent me:



He ended up at my site not looking at a bunch of XML or having his browser ask him if he wants to subscribe to my feed. He was taken directly to a page within my site that has relevant posts from our podcast and blog for the topic he was looking for . . . maybe, probably not really since I don't know what 'The Deaf Chicago Party' is. And, apparently, Google doesn't either. Let's just call it serendipity.

The summary to my detective work can be boiled down to what I figured out a few months ago:

1. Google loves RSS feeds filled with new stuff
2. I love RSS feeds filled with my new and old stuff
3. People like information on topics of interest
4. I created RSS feeds by post tag but also allow them to be created by readers/listeners dynamically (see #3)
5. I did some quick SEO on these feeds to make their titles and descriptions relevant to topic
6. Finally, I coded the feeds to check if user was coming from Google or other search engines
7. Google sends bot and indexes said feeds
8. Someone searches at Google for a topic like "tijuana vasectomy" - just got a hit for it yesterday
9. That someone clicks the link and ends up at site with the exact same items in it that were in the RSS feed without all the feed related hassle

It's not a perfect system but one that I think is way more acceptable to a user than clicking a link in a search engine and getting put into a feed. In many cases being dumped into a feed isn't going to get you to the content you wanted anyway because it has been pushed out by newer items. When I put someone into my site from a feed result in a search engine they then have the ability to find their topic right there. If not, they an internal site search that will find what they are after. The coolest part to me about it is that once they have made it to the site I then offer them the feed for their topic, just in case this is truly what they were after.

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

I mentioned on the show that you could come and check out the new site . . . well, how about the new main page. The rest will follow shortly in the next few days. The piece that I did get in place that is new is the keyword rss. Wherever you see the little orange rss icon after a link it will give you the ability to subscribe to a feed that tracks that term.

I'm not sure how much use it will get but for the five people who find it handy, you're welcome.

I'll put the rest of the nerd out on hold in favor of saying, we missed doing the show and thanks to everyone who listened before the break. And for those of you are back, welcome.
