dding newsfeeds into your site improves relevancy when the feed's topic is related to your content.  There are two main problems with including feed content published in your site.

Good SEO example (including content from an external source)

  • MyContent Overview
    MyContent is a simple component that makes it easy for front end users to add and edit their own content. This component should be published in the Registered User Menu.



  1. Source - Often times newsfeed content is published as a wrapper-type display or as a frame.  This content is not well received by Search Engines.  Their search bots discount the relevancy because it doesn't originate from your site.
  2. Style - displaying RSS type newsfeed has formatting limitations.

There are, however, tools and techniques that can overcome both problems...


The example to the right is content taken from a newsfeed (RSS) and loaded directly into this site. 

If you look at the code (in FireFox, Right Click and select View Page Source), you will see the newsfeed content is embeded directly into the page.

This example also show that the newsfeed can be formatted and look like it is a part of the content.

This technique can be used to add SEO value to your site.
