Painfully obvious, right?

Well, not so much when someone searches at Google for intitle:"chocolate" ext:rss. The odds are astronomically high that even chocolate experts weren't even returned as results. See for yourself.

So what does this mean? It means that someone searched Google for a RSS feed (ext:rss) with the word chocolate in the title (intitle:"chocolate").

Yes, the search is more advanced than a keyword or phrase based search but that isn't my full point. The reason that it matters is that not only did this individual search for chocolate but also culture and abba. Not quite sure what it says about the person searching for those topics . . .

So for me, these three hits matter. They are three more than I would have normally received for those topics and a chance for me to get them to possibly subscribe to those feeds, subscribe to my podcast, click an ad (yes, I like money) or get my brand in front of them.

I am able to do this with keyword feeds that I create dynamically from posts that get the same SEO treatment that a normal webpage would get.

The other plus for this type of search is the fact that they return so few results and Croncast happens to be ranked #1 for most of them including searches like, say . . . "CNN" or "Micorsoft" or "iTunes".

I've had conversations with a friend, Rick Klau, about RSS feeds being indexed in Google search results. Most of those discussions focused on my saying that feeds should show up in search results and Rick saying that they shouldn't.

My stance is that some people, like myself, benefit from these results the same way that we benefit from a normal click through to our sites. I am able to do this by checking where the individual who clicked through is coming from and displaying a web page instead of the RSS with the exact same data that was in the feed.

But I don't stop there. I also make sure to let the user know how they got to the page and that they can now subscribe to that feed. It's a soft landing for what traditionally has been a hard look at XML or ugly feed displays in browsers. Which is where you will end up with 99.9 out of 100 feeds if you click through them when returned in a search.

What is Rick's position? If 99.9 are bad then they should be removed. For the time being I will agree that he is right. But that doesn't mean that this is the way it always has to be.

A couple of things could change this:

1) The uptake of RSS since IE7 and and FireFox now display their own XSLT to prettify the XML. Sort of like FeedBurner does.
2) Publishers add their own XSLT for their feeds
3) Publishers using blogs, most of which are dynamically generated, are written with code that can check for referers like Goolge, Live and Yahoo and redirect the user to a page that has the same content as the feed
4) My favorite. Google could create their own XSLT document that loads the feed into it.

Maybe that was more than a couple but I believe there are a lot of ways to welcome feeds into indexed search results beyond having to type in a search like intitle:"Google" ext:rss.

By the way, I'm not number one on this one Google is with it's YouTube property.

Next up, how to create RSS feeds with keywords in the title, how to get the .rss extension added to your feeds and landing pages for feeds.

I had no idea House of Pain drove Mike and Liz to the suburbs but I can see how that is likely with the confluence of rap addicted white kids from the suburbs that migrate to the city . . . to be cool.

Croncast - Betsy and her husband Kris 155

Show Notes

It feels great to be back. Wait, did I hear Betsy say we are going back to 3 days a week? Listen to find out if it's true.

We're a bit rusty
The neighbors can hear that for God's sake
Lost in the Gobi
Electronic deposit still rolling in
Stipend for not begging
All the other daddy's get stuff
$5 a week for Kris
Don't come home for lunch
Baja fresh
What happened to medium?
Playland torture
It's another of his ideas
Kris lays out the entire month of not podcasting
ID3 Podcast Magazine
In my spare time
Podcasting production also
The apology
My t-shirt "I know, I know, I feel bad about it but I'm not going to stop."
Stomach pain is from green vegetables
Ultrasound for boy or girl in my gut
Where to gall problems come from?
Vegetarians don't have gall problems
In search of a better him
Doctor calls but Betsy doesn't pass on message
If you've ever met this man you'd know that I run his life
I hung up on the bitch
The secretary is most powerful person in the company
Flipping the wrong finger
"Stupid jerk."
Bust it out to get daddy in trouble
Next time I will call them a stupid jerk
Everyone has it out for Kris
Betsy's life work is paying off at this point as a social worker
Behavior problems with the man, seems his brain makes it hard to control
The neurological damage has been done
Betsy takes care of her mom
She was walking hell, fire and fucking brimstone
Screaming and crying and breakdowns
I can't go home
Man, were we close
Buying drugs for mom
Ben the fix it guy is low-key and awesome
Betsy fights with old man at ACE
I just want the toilet
Ben was embarrassed for Betsy
World's greatest countertops Madura Gold
Ordering men around so they follow through and give them a check
Thanks for the emails
Let me tell you people, we got another show Monday!
It's garage sale weekend
Landing the plane, so to speak
We're going back to Monday, Wednesday and Friday shows!!
