RSS-SPIDER information for webmasters
Feed Seeker Bot (FSB) is RSS-Spider's home page crawling robot. This bot does not crawl pages other than your home page. Why? Well simply becuase we're looking for the RSS Auto Discovery tag in the HEAD of your home page.
If you have an RSS feed make sure that your home page (or every page for that matter) has the
RSS Auto Discovery on it.
Otherwise you're feed will not be found by RSS-Spider or by any RSS aware browsers.
Your website just needs to enable
RSS Auto Discovery. Blogging systems like
Wordpress or
Typepad already have this option enabled in their default templates. This enables browsers like Firefox & IE 7.0 and spiders like RSS-Spider and others to find your RSS feed quickly. If you view your source should should see a line like the one below.
