You may know that there are a lot of benefits of using RSS feed.   If you do not, please read the entire post and you may learn some tricks and gain some benefits from reading this post.  People are using it in different ways to serve their purpose such as boosting traffic to their sites.  Below, I am  going to describe what the real benefits of using RSS feed.

Link Juice: RSS feeds will give you some link juice. This can happen after you submit your RSS feeds to RSS feed directories.   People who subscribe to the directories would find your feed interesting and would come and check your site more often.  RSS feeds seems to be overlooked from many website owners as they are very beneficial for SEO (search engine optimization).

SEO: Search engine likes updated fresh content or new things. The RSS is the one which ping the update to search engine as well as it also helps user find the new updates on the web.

Reader convenience: it can expose your site more if you have a great  content that provides a lot of benefits to the public.  People would subscribe your RSS feed without going to your site.  They can read your content remotely.  So it is a must have a RSS feed subscription on your site so that people would be able to read your posts after they find your great content and want to learn more what you are going to write in the future.  I believe if they know your style of writing and the subject area that you have been writing.  RSS is a great way to keep your readers updated with all the latest happenings on your blog.  So have a RSS feed ready for them to subscribe is a way to expand your reader to another level.

Boost Traffic: It can boost traffic to your site  when one of your guests subscribes to your RSS feed.

You may know that Google already setup the algorithm on how the way you are assigned the page ranking of your site.  Some people would say that your page ranking has a lot of influences on Google search engine.  Is there a relationship between the page ranking and the search engine ranking?

Before talking about the relationship between those two, I believe Google ranks your site by the fresh content on  your site.  The more update on your site, the more ranking you will get, but It would not ranks your site based on the fresh content on your site alone.  There are many factors involved with the way Google ranks your site such as the authority and community like.  If you have a lot of traffic to your site, Google would think your site is important because you serve a community.  Then in a short period of time, it would bump your page ranking very quick.  This is based on my observation.

Watch the Youtube video to learn more about the Page Rank.

Speaking of page ranking and the search engine ranking there is no relationship between these two.  You can have a page rank of 0 and out rank websites with page rank of 5.    It depends on the keyword that site is using and a lot more factors, such as the content of site.

My advice is to concentrate on getting a higher search engine ranking, instead of a higher page rank.  Being higher in the search engine results is what’s going to drive up your traffic.  In order to be higher in the search engine, you have to do hard work, such as pumping fresh content related to keyword(s) you want to rank, back links, and traffic.
