Value of RSS Feed for a website?
-
What sort of value does an RSS feed provide for a website?
If you use an RSS feed on your website, what do you use to keep it updated?
Can you recycle mention of content / pages in the feed over time?
Any good links on this subject?

Thanks. That was helpful.
So I can use Google's Feedburner and that's sufficient to get maximum exposure? Or do I also have to use others like Bloglines?
As previously mentioned, I was using "RSS Builder" some time back. Any recommendations for managing the actual feed given it's being used for a website?
Can I start a new feed based on the newer pages added over the last so many months?
-
The main benefit of RSS feeds is to keep users updated with your latest content should they not access your site directly.
From an SEO point, if you have activated the "pingback" feature, this will ensure that every site update will be notified to search engines & browser bots and specific blog/content submission sites. RSS feeds also provides additional internal links to a page hence providing more link juice and page authority. Make sure you don't have too many internal links on a page.
It is therefore important to be smart about RSS feed placement and making it compatible to access and read fpr all types of sites mentioned above.
This is why you'll notice people using Google's Feedburner, whereby you can have more control optimising the meta data per RSS feedback and automatically connecting social media accounts i.e. twitter or digg for automating content promotion.
Hope this helps,

What is the SEO / Google value, if any, to providing an RSS feed to a website that's more static than not? Low value, high value?
If you use an RSS feed on your website, is there any sort of automated program to keep it updated? (I used to "RSS Builder" a few years ago but fell out of the habit of keeping it updated because I didn't think I was getting any benefit from the feed since pages are more static than not / not enough freshness.)
Can you / do you / should you recycle mention of content / pages in the feed over time?

The value of the RSS feed provide a way for your viewers and website to get the information you post without going to your site - it keep your name in front of your subscriber viewer to your content. RSS feeds instantly notified your subscribers. Keep them inform, Establish credibility and bring traffic

1000 of links on my website ? is it good or bad
Hi guys my site: www.dorchdanola-netbutik.dk is a e-commerce store, and generally we have many links on all pages because of the many products and categories. Im not sure if this is actually bad or good? I've been told that it will definately harm my site when google crawls it. The thing is that google visit my site often and I still have good pageranks in google. So does it actually harm my site having all these products and categories? And what can I do about it if google see every page as duplicate content? I also link to my social pages like FB, G+, e.g. Should I put rel="nofollow" or rel="me" on these social links? Thanks guys!

Do links to my website improve all pages?
I'm currently building links to my home page (through directories) and blog pages. However, none of these pages are actually targeted pages for main keywords. In SEO, do links to any webpage of a site contribute to the improved rank of other pages?

Creating a separate blog off our website
A while ago we purchased some domains that are related to our industry. I'm fairly sceptical about using them, but I am interested what peoples thoughts are. We are currently producing quite alot of engaging content and although it's industry related, it is sometimes quite broad and not always appropriate for our company blog. I have been debating whether or not it will be a good idea to use one of the domain names that we have purchased to create more of an industry blog that is off our website. I'm not sure if this is considered a "black hat" technique by using domains registered to us? And also whether or not Google will punish because we are blogging from the same IP address and linking back to our site ? I look forward to hearing what people think. Thanks,
