RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feeds allow users and search engines to stay up to date with your content.
Google’s John Mueller says, “The RSS feed is really something we see as more of a technical help to crawl and index the content a bit better.”
As RSS feeds in aggregators and directories get crawled well, getting your backlinks in them will complement faster crawling and indexing.
Use an RSS feed generator to create your RSS feed and submit it to RSS aggregators and directories.
Monitor and Troubleshoot Your Backlinks
Watch your backlinks closely for indexing. The easiest way to know if your backlink is indexed is by performing a Google Search using the exact URL of the post that carries your backlink.
If you see the corresponding page appearing in the results, your backlink is indexed and if not, it isn’t indexed yet. You can also check the Google cached version of the page to be 100% certain that Google has indexed the updated version of the page which carries your backlink.
If your backlink is not indexed, you need to analyze it for potential issues and fix them in order to get it indexed.
Some common issues that prevent your site from being indexed by Google include low-quality content, broken backlink/ no proper redirects, robots.txt blocking the search engine crawler’s access to your content, incorrect canonical tags and more.
