Getting a Handle on RSS Technology
Lee Underwood
RSS (define) is one of the hottest technologies on the Web today. The acronym stands for "Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary," depending on who is promoting it. It's also known as a "webfeed."
An RSS feed can be used for many things: to update news, provide a change log, give notice of upcoming events, or to notify your customers of new products. It can even be used for creating and updating online lists, and according to some people, RSS feeds are better than e-mail newsletters. And new ideas for its usage are being developed at a rapid pace.
The information in an RSS file is collected and viewed in a news aggregator (reader), such as SharpReader or FeedReader. Some Web browsers like Mozilla Firefox and e-mail clients are starting to incorporate RSS reader capabilities into their interfaces as well. These tools and features make it possible to view several RSS feeds at the same time without having to visit each individual blog or Web site.
On our site we have many tutorials and articles that discuss RSS and its usage. There should be enough instructions to help you get RSS up and running on your Web site without too many problems.
Most of the problems that do arise are associated with the creation of the actual RSS file itself; everything else is just content.

I have read and experimented alot with link exchanging. From what I can see the more links you trade with the better your site does. But if you want to see your Page Rank increase, get your site on a few sites with a very high page rank. My only issue is no one can truly explain how google measures this and what real importance it has because some sites appear in the top of google search results with no pr. So any information would be great or input. reciprocal link exchange
