- Is RSS still useful for SEO in 2026?
- RSS does not directly influence rankings, but it speeds up content discovery by news aggregators, AI training crawlers, and email-to-feed services. It also gives readers a tracking-free way to follow your site.
- What is the difference between RSS 2.0 and Atom?
- Both are XML syndication formats. RSS 2.0 is simpler and more widely supported by legacy readers, while Atom has a stricter spec and better support for full-content payloads and metadata.
- Should pubDate use a specific time format?
- Yes. RSS 2.0 requires RFC 822 dates, for example "Mon, 22 May 2026 14:30:00 +0000". Invalid dates cause many readers to drop the item or show it in the wrong order.
