XML Feed
-
If a site has an xml feed being used by 100 companies to create the content on their site. Will those 100 sites receive any link juice?
Is there any way content may be classed as duplicate across these sites? And should the page on the site where the xml feed is coming from have the page indexed first?

Hi Tina,
You think all xml feeds produce duplicate content to the sites they are going into?
The site the feed is coming from in this case is not neccessarily the most important one for this excercise. The hundred plus other sites that will use the feeds on their pages are all customers so working out the pro's and con's for them displaying a large amount of data via the xml feed in their pages.
I could use the canonical tag, this would have to be set up on original site that has feed.
The 100+ sites using the feed want to know if there pages can be indexed with the xml feed on to be found in the search engines, or is this duplicate without the canonical link?
For the purpose of this, the sites cannot create unique content.

I would say that that they wouldn't be receiving any and that the content would be seen as duplicate because it is the same as on other sites.
If the site that the feed is coming from is the site that is important to you, then you want that to be indexed first.
I think you can use the canonical tag on the sites with the duplicate content to show the original source.
Can the other sites not create unique content to make them more useful?

Temporary Redirects - Trackback & Feed
Under my MOZ account I'm getting a bunch of temporary redirect warnings. Most of them are blog post with a /feed or a /trackback . I know the trackback URL's are coming from blogs where people have commented because it brings up a Trackback URL | Comments RSS Feed section. I'm not sure how to make this /trackback work. The only line of code in my editor that says trackback is h3#postinfo,

Do rss feeds help seo?
If we put relevant RSS feeds on a site, will it help the SEO value? Years ago, I shied away from RSS feeds because they slowed the site down and I didn't like relying on them. However, the past couple years, the Internet has become better, especially in Alaska.

Should XML sitemaps include *all* pages or just the deeper ones?
Hi guys, Ok this is a bit of a sitemap 101 question but I cant find a definitive answer: When we're running out XML sitemaps for google to chew on (we're talking ecommerce and directory sites with many pages inside sub-categories here) is there any point in mentioning the homepage or even the second level pages? We know google is crawling and indexing those and we're thinking we should trim the fat and just send a map of the bottom level pages. What do you think?

Using the example on this Google Web Master Help page (where they explain all six of the required tags) , here are examples of the two tags I need help with: video:content_locwww.example.com/video123.flv</video:content_loc> <video:player_loc allow_embed="yes" autoplay="ap=1">www.example.com/videoplayer.swf?video=12...video:player_loc></video:player_loc> The video I am trying to optimize is located on a page on my site:
www.mountainbikingmaine.com/races/bradbury_hawk.html
This page has an embedded Vimeo video. So I don't have the video file on my domain. It is on Vimeo. Here is source code from my page that I think provides the information I need to create the two tags that Google requires. <iframe src="<a rel=" nofollow"="" href="http://player.vimeo.com/video/24580638?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0"" target="_blank">player.vimeo.com/video/24580638?title=0&...amp;portrait=0"</a> width="400" height="533" frameborder="0"></iframe> [vimeo.com/24580638">Bradbury](<a rel=) Mountain Maine Hawk Migration Count from [vimeo.com/user3219915">dan](<a rel=) sexton Using this source from my site, can you suggest what to put in the two tags?
