I am talking with your company about your idx/lead gen system to integrate into a r/e blog. I definitely want the RSS feed content on the site. I'd like to know if you have come to the conclusion yet as to how important it is for the SEO value as well as the incredible value in creating communities, projects, developments and other specific searches? Thanks. So Justin, where are you at today on this important “content” topic? I am talking with your company about your idx/lead gen system to integrate into a r/e blog.

We think there is a definite us for this type of content on websites. However we are looking into different delivery methods for the best SEO and ease of use. No exact date but it is something we'd like to make available in the future to those that don't have any programming knowledge. All good points made by everyone.

I do believe that it is working at getting me some relative google love. we will see. i do think that it is most important that I offer the most relevant experience to each visitor. This gives them another option that might be more favorable to their tastes. Cheers, Rick Armstrong http://www.realestatejackson.com I have been setting up rss feeds and doing well with them.

Yes, the content changes but there is all sorts of nice keywords that are spread through them pretty consistently. Based on traffic to the page, readers like it too. And it's not all that well publicized on my site. Just one link in the menu bar. It's best use though really is I can use it as an example for prospects for explaining how setting up a feed could benefit them. http://www.phoenixrealestateguy.com/phoenix-listings-rss-feeds I can tell you one thing, Google loves my Listing RSS feed page.

I am just starting to figure these feeds out. The Denver site is exactly the way I want to use these feeds. Small, distinct types of searches so they are easy to go through on a daily basis but with more detail than the map. And it's formatted nicely so the listings are one after the other in an orderly fashion. That was my only criticism earlier - I'm just looking for the format of the feed to output in this nice blocked fashion. I'm not sure what my programmer knows about feeds so I'll have to figure that out with him. I did read through the Simple Pie docs to see how they are implementing but it's beyond my skill in PHP. I'm hoping to see something come out of here! Thanks... Mary, thanks for letting me know about the iframe and SEO. I am just starting to figure these feeds out.

Engines have a difficult time crawling inside of iframes and more importantly when you iframe- the feed is technically housed on a secondary site so the 20% of the SEO value left is given to that site (idx.diversesolutions.com), not yours. Try posting the feed directly into your site or blog. Your webmaster may need to create a custom page type so you can directly post an RSS feed like our clients can. Here is an example of a Diverse Solutions RSS feed pulled directly on to a page for maximum SEO benefit: http://www.denvercoloradorealestatehomes.com/centennial-rss Josette,
