Another way to help keep your RSSGM site in good graces with search engines is to block spiders from scanning your RSSGM folder. This can be done by creating (or editing) a robots.txt in your root directory. Enter the following code into your robots file:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /RSSGM/
This way spiders don’t realize your site is an RSSG site, and doesn’t label it as spam.
RSSGM (Really Simple Site Generator, Modified) is a great tool to create large websites in a short amount of time. However, the template that it comes with not only lacks seo-optimization and originality, but it can also penalize you in the search engines. Some people use RSSGM to create really spammy, poor quality sites. These sites often use the default template. So lets say you create a non-spam RSSGM site with great, original content but you use the default template. What happens? The search engines automatically assume your site is spam because it already knows the default template’s patterns and equates it with poor quality. Fortunately, there is an easy fix to this problem- don’t use the default template. If you’re short on time, or not a web designer, then you can buy an RSSGM template for just $9.00 at NicheTemplates.info. All of the templates are search engine optimized and all have a proven high click through rate design.
