An Insider`s Secret To Seriously High Rankings With Yahoo - Setting it up
(Page 5 of 6 )
Now I'm going to explain how you get that done. Again, I'm going to use my previous articles as the "base" for what we'll be doing in this article. I'm further going to assume that you're using MagpieRSS on your site to get new content added. Because this tool is so easy to use, and the documentation for it relatively straightforward, I'm not going to cover the implementation of Magpie in this article. In fact, in this article I'm just going to "pseudocode" what needs to be done because I don't know how your site is set up, what language you'll be using, or anything like that. If you want specific help on exact code to accomplish the task, just add a comment to this article and let me know.
So, at this point you have a site set up so that you can simply add new content to your database, and that new content is automatically added to your website. You have your CMS (Content Management System) in place and running like clockwork. You're also using MagpieRSS to add all kinds of new content to your site automatically.
All you need to do now is, in the while loop that echos the MagpieRSS information, check to see whether the headline is already in your content table. If it is not in the content table, then add a new row with the the headline going to the headline field and the description going to the content field.
At this point all you need to do is pop open a browser window once every so often (I've got a process on my computer that runs once every 30 minutes that takes care of this for me automatically) to have your new RSS file generated.
Now at this point, it may
seem like a good idea to have the RSS file dynamically generated. The problem is that RSS technology is still new enough that I don't really recommend it. RSS scanners seem to have a preference for an actual XML file over a dynamically generated thing. I don't know if this is because of the slight delay that is caused by the dynamic generation process over a simple file feed, or if it's because of some goofball limitation by overzelous programmers. I can only say that at this point, I'm not dynamically generating my RSS files to eliminate any potential problems.
When it comes right down to it, what this article really boils down to is this: a site with lots of content, that is being constantly updated, and that is further specific to a small range of keywords, ranks higher with those keywords with Yahoo.
Further, a site with an RSS feed will get ranked
much faster and
much higher than a page without an RSS feed, if someone adds that feed to their MyYahoo page.
By putting those two facts together, and mixing in one part sheer laziness to get other people to create your new content for you
and having your RSS feed generated automatically, your site can get seriously high rankings with surprisingly little work.
And now let me throw you a quick added "bone."
If you create an actual "blog" over at
http://www.blogger.com ... the blog you create will be indexed by Google almost instantly, and almost as importantly, spidered regularly. Additionally, new content is almost instantly spidered by Google. So if you want to
really move things forward, you can also create a page over at blogspot. Simply go over to it a couple times a day, and add in the headline and description for one of your newest bits of content from your actual website. Then simply have a "more" link that goes to your site.
As an example ...
