RSS-checklist 1. titles and descriptions.
Always include meaningful keywords in your RSS feed channel title and description. Many readers will view or search for subject-specific RSS feeds by using keywords or keyword phrases. If you have descriptive keywords in your RSS feed title and description is the diet is more likely to be located and subscribed to by interested parties.
2. GUID Format.
Always include a GUID with each feed item. GUID is a globally unique identifier. Each entry must use a different GUID. The GUID will in some cases assist RSS news readers and aggregation software provision when new content has been added to the RSS feed or when existing content in an RSS feed has changed. If you do not use the Guid, the software used to aggregate the feeds can have difficulty detecting changes to the feed items or software may not always recognize new content.
3. Publish dates.
Always include a Publish date on feed items. Publish date should be used, even if the content is timeless. Publish date will help readers determine that status of the content contained in the item feed.
4. Polish your Feed.
Consider including images in your RSS feed. While the added images will not necessarily improve ranking, they will add a professional look to your RSS feed and help brand your feed.
5. feed hosting.
Either host your own feed, or set it to forward to a third party from your site. This will allow you to retain complete control over the RSS feed. You don't have to rely on the stability of another company. If you control the forwarding and at any time you are dissatisfied with the service provided by a third party, you can redirect the feed to a different location.

Do not create splogs by automating feed creation. Splogs just clutter the search machines and catalogues and make it difficult to find RSS feeds with meaningful content.
3. infringe a copyright.
Copyright does not violate by republishing an RSS feeds contents. If you quote content from another RSS feed, credit the source and provide and link to the original source of the content. As a rule of thumb should editorial content exceeds the length of the material in quotation marks the position.
4. violating the TOS.
Do not republish RSS feeds without confirming that feed syndication is allowed. Terms of use are not always visible, so it is important that you check the terms of Service on the Publisher's feed subscription page prior to syndicating the content of another Publisher RSS feed.
