Union RSS on your website for additional content

RSS is a great way for you to keep up with their favorite web sites. But they can be a even greater tool for a webmaster. You can syndicate RSS feeds into your website, adding content continuously updating without any work on your own.

Use PHP to parse an XML file and the Union of Food

In order to organize an RSS feed on your site, you need to read the XML somehow. PHP is ideal for this.

Previously, it would have to write your own XML parser to do this. This is possible - but it takes some time and can be quite complicated.

Luckily, PHP comes with built-in SimpleXML. You can use this great package quickly and easily read XML files.

Given RSS feeds to a standard structure, you can use SimpleXML to read the file, manipulate the data, and output a list of links and / or descriptions on their website. All you need to know is how to use SimpleXML and structured as an RSS feed.

Here is a tutorial on how to the union of an RSS feed in PHP, if you're interested in learning how to do that.

Use rel = 'nofollow' on links

If you do union an RSS feed and reproduce on each of your pages, you may want to consider using rel = 'nofollow' for links.

Each one of these links is an external link. Without the nofollow tag, you'd be bleeding a lot of pagerank of each of your pages. Ultimately, this could be detrimental to your site - and probably exceed the benefits of using the RSS feed in the first place.

You can solve this problem by placing the rel = 'nofollow' in each of the links are created from the RSS feed.

If your website is a WordPress blog, you'll have to manually do this. WordPress comes with a large built-in RSS Feed Widget - so you do not have to manually parse the feed. However, it gives you an option to use 'nofollow' for links.

Remember: do not steal another person's Work Copyright

Although items are distributed across the Internet in RSS feeds, not yet own it.

It is acceptable to use an RSS feed to syndicate links back to the original source of an article. It would also be acceptable to include a brief description of this relationship - based on the RSS feed is.

However, some people post entire articles in their RSS feeds. To reprint an entire article is copyright infringement. It is wrong, illegal and could leads to a lot of problems.

Using other people's work enough. You can add relevant links to your site - but try to steal entire articles.
