Google uses google home page…

RSS and XML extensions appear to work fine and quickly. After testing Denise's feed for a week I find that 50% of the time google does display the feed. Now 1/2 right is the same as 1/2 wrong so definately some work needs to be done on google's end, but google is now more aware of each and every post Denise makes to her blog than they were before. Which only means more bot visits and more indexing! Folks, get on this. It takes a few minutes of setup but could give you an extra boost in ranking. Well worth it in my opinion...

I have a Typepad blog (several) and not one feed I entered was accepted. Kept saying feed not found. Works in other applications and feedreaders so I guess Google isn't compatible with Typepad yet.
