      Hello...

      I am wondering if RSS feeds are good for SEO purposes...

      If i have a blog on my e-commerce site that links back into my site, should i then submit my feed to a bunch of RSS feed sites?

      Please  tell me if i should be submitting my feed to all the RSS Feed Blog directories i can find or if that will appear as though i'm trying to gain links in the wrong way, from Google's perspective.

      For example:

      http://www.feedage.com/

      http://www.feedlisting.com/  .... just to name a few of the directories i've found

      Thanks

        For me, everything is a question of proportion these days. So when you say "to a bunch of sites" I think, probably a waste of time. If you submit to a few, and keep the content of the blog something people would want to  read and pass on, then I think you are fine. As you gain some experience, you can add as you think it makes sense. 
        Obviously, what you would like to have is people grabbing the feed, adding a link back to you and make your life more happy.

        Note: With FeedAge, there are a lot of feeds that are SALE!!!!. I would try to make them better.

        Hope this helps.
