How To Use RSS Feeds In Your Marketing

Idly, I scanned my logs to see where the buyer had found me. It was from Yahoo! Now that may not seem surprising, except... I had not been listed in Yahoo! before. Curious, I did a Yahoo! Search for my domain name... and almost fainted in shock! There were 123 of my pages listed - many of them in the top 10 ranks on my best keywords. My RSS feed had been listed within 48 hours - and since my other pages were linked from it, they had all been indexed by Yahoo! just as quickly. And for free!
