How can I find if a given page has RSS Feed available as browsers (FF) show RSS icon in address bar if the page has an RSS feed?
Look into the source of this very page. You will find the following <link>:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml"
title="Feed for question 'Finding RSS Feed'" href="/feeds/question/2022542">
You should be able to parse any HTML page with a DOM parser, and look for alternate links of the correct type.

I am setting up Googles RSS Feed for the follow feature. I am following this documentation: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/mobile/google-discover
I have tested the follow feature out - I followed the correct RSS Feed on my site using the follow feature on Chrome mobile, but it just get the message “Waiting for content”. I tried adding a new blog post to see if it would pick that up, but nothing changed. I have successfully validated my RSS Feed here: https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=
Here is an example of what I put in my document head:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://example.com/feeds/blog-detail" />
What am I missing to get the follow feature to work on my site? Do I need to submit the RSS Feed somewhere like a sitemap?
I think I know the answer, but wanted to double check:
Should the link tag in an RSS feed always point to a website's home page or to the most relevant page?
What I mean: say there is a website devoted to real estate (http://www.realestate.com) that has multiple RSS feeds. One RSS feed is latest listings, one RSS feed is latest home listings, one RSS feed is latest apartment listings, etc. The home listings can be found at http://www.realestate.com/home-listings.html. The apartment listings can be found at http://www.realestate.com/apartment-listings.html
Should the link tag for all 3 RSS feeds point to http://www.realestate.com/? Or should it point to, respectively, http://www.realestate.com/, http://www.realestate.com/home-listings.html and http://www.realestate.com/appartment-listings.html?
The RSS "Profile" states that "The link element identifies the URL of the web site associated with the feed (required)."
http://www.rssboard.org/rss-profile#element-channel-link
But let's be pragamtic. The intention here, is certainly to let the user click on the link to go to the source of information.
I think it would be better to link to the apropriate section than to the homepage.
I want to create a RSS feed based on the Tumblr tags I use. I want to submit some of my posts to a blog syndication service. To the blog syndicator I have to provide a RSS feed. But I don't want all posts to appear there. Is there a way I can do something like this?
When I tag a post with a specific keyword: (eg: #blog) the post will
get added to the RSS feed.
If the #blog tag is not there, the post doesn't get included to the RSS feed.
OP found the answer themselves here it is:
mydomain.tumblr.com/tagged/tagx/rss
Adding /rss after a tumblr URL apparently generates an RSS feed (probably only if the blog has enabled RSS).
I am wondering what kind of tags can be used in a web page of a blog post to give search bots more clue about what they are looking at.
The ones that I know is as follows :
keywords meta tag
description meta tag
canonical meta tag
Also rel="canonical" link as follows :
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish"/>
Is there any others?
First off, meta description and content tags are no longer used by the major search engines for the purposes of any kind of page/site ranking. However, I still include them because they will probably end up being used for other purposes.
What is more important is your choice of blog post title - I usually put a lot of work into this one thing alone. Next, try and include the blog post title in the URL. Finally, use social media links for all their worth! Quality links back to your blog will reap the most benefit SEO-wise :)
Friendly URLs always help and are included when using BlogEngine.
UPDATE:
To "canonicalize" your URLs, you can use ASP.NET routing or do it like this:

The meta keywords tag has no SEO value of any kind and can be ignored.
The meta description tag does not affect rankings but may be used by Google as the snippet below a page's listing in the search results.
The rel="canonical" tag is used to signify the preferred URL when content can be found using more then one URL.
The robots meta tag can be used to tell search engines not to index certain content or follow links on a page.
Meta tags are very important for websites SEO you can't ignored them.Without these meta tags your site cannot get good SEO score and position on search engines.
important meta tags are following:
1. Meta Title
2. Meta Description
3. Meta Keywords
4. Meat Robots

For Google Panda title is very important. Keywords are not very important but you can use them.
Title, Description and Tags.
I'm working on some RSS feeds for a custom task system we have. The main feed will show a list of tasks assigned to the current user. The link attribute for each task returned points to the web page for that task. However, tasks themselves have an RSS feed for updates, and I want to be able to provide a link for that RSS feed with the main feed as well. How can I do both?
The solution I'm thinking of right now is setting the article's title attribute to include an <a href="..." link to the actual article, and the it's link attribute to be a link to the feed (or vice versa). However, I'm not sure that will work well since most readers display the title as linking to the link (if that makes any sense to you).
Also, is this something that's supported natively by atom?
Make the content of each item in the original RSS feed HTML. (I believe you'll have to CDATA escape the block). Within this content put a hyperlink to the updates feed RSS.
Why not add it to the entry summary as links?
