Please integrate RSS feeds into GeekShop

cooollll!!!!

i didn't look into this specific feature, but what's wrong with the built-in rss?

there's a route in your system for rss: supposedly, if you go to www.your-domain.whatever/rss you should get rss output.

even comments in the routes file says:

The following route will show an rss feed of the last 100 products that have been added to the site

<p>You're right! I'm new to GeekShop and Laravel. How did you see this? Was this in the Laravel documentation? I appreciate you pointing this out to me since I did not know it was there. As for if this is good enough, the answer is yes and no. As you read, my intention is to use IFTTT and to syndicate my posts and products to Web 2 properties. In this way this RSS feed will be fine and will trigger the applets (they used to call them recipes) which I make in IFTTT. However from an SEO standpoint, because I'm syndicating exact duplicates of my products/posts, it's best to include attribution with them. The attribution of course points back to my website and is part of the power of why this works because I get linkjuice from these links. It would be best if the code simply put the attribution there in the RSS after each post so I don't have to make it a part of the product description--which will look weird.</p> <p>One of the nuances of the RSS plugin that Semantic Mastery created was it's ability to use and recognize spintax in the attributions area. By doing this the attribution could be assembled with replacement words and therefore the link and the text around it could be intermixed and not in itself create massive duplicates or over optimization of keywords.</p> <p>Here's an example of the spintax they give...</p> <p>The {following |}{post|article|blog post} |}%%POSTLINK%% {was {first|originally} {seen on|published on|published to}|is {courtesy of|available on|republished from}}: &lt;a href="http://www.DOMAIN.com/"{ rel="nofollow"|}&gt;{http://DOMAIN.com/|http://DOMAIN.com|http://www.DOMAIN.com/|http://www.DOMAIN.com|www.DOMAIN.com|COMPANY NAME|COMPANY NAME LLC|COMPANY NAME|OWNER'S NAME|COMPANY NAME Service|COMPANY NAME Blog|COMPANY NAME Service Blog}&lt;/p&gt;</p> <p>You can watch a run down of their plugin here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91bXFjjSvWY</p> <p>The plugin is free and you can look at the code within it--the spintax code they attribute to Jason Davis - http://www.codedevelopr.com/</p> <p>The plugin is designed for Wordpress by the way. http://semanticmastery.com/rss-recipes/</p> <p>What's neat is that if you look at a RSS feed from a site which is running the plugin, you can refresh the page and see all the spintax change. Anyway, since the point of GeekShop is to get people to your site, I hope that SEO for the site is important. While I can do some blackhat stuff like PBNs, GSA, SER and other things, I'd prefer to start with IFTTTSEO. In that way, tier 1 of the site is completely white hat and then I can spam the web 2 properties if I want since they can take a lot of beating--from a spam perspective--without getting penalized.</p> <p>One more thing to mention. The descriptions of each product on GeekShop are short enough that they don't get truncated in the current implementation of RSS. I assume that there's no truncation at all in the RSS implementation of GeekShop, right? I should note that Wordpress truncates after a certain number of characters in their RSS feed. Perhaps you've seen it from another site where it will have a [read on...] or [...] after a certain number of characters. Semantic Mastery removes the truncation in their plugin so that the full article--in our case product or blog post--can be fully published. You want that because we're re-posting it on other websites, such as Tumblr, Blogspot, weebly, Twitter, etc and therefore you don't want it truncated.</p> <p>I should state for the record that I'm not affiated with Semantic Mastery in any way.</p>

Hey Scott. I have recieved your email for this request and will figure out how to do it after the Laracon EU, so I will properly have some time this weekend to get through with this.

Thanks Mark! Let me know if you want to have a discussion about it. I'm certainly willing to do some testing and I'll have a web 2 ring I can test it out with. I'll give you access to those properties as well if you want to do some testing too.

One more feature suggestion, again this isn't my idea but from the SM plugin...

Most RSS feeds are structured as http://somedomain.com/rss or somedomain.com/feed but the SM plugin allows you to add a slug into the URL. This allows for a keyword or longtail keyword to be added to the URL, which can be helpful from a SEO perspective. So the URL now becomes http://somedomain.com/gifts-for-men/feed or https://somedomain.com/home-and-office-gifts/feed.

It's a nice SEO feature since the entire URL is considered along with many other things for Google ranking. Since "Exact Match Domains" or EMDs are not a recommended SEO method anymore (since 2012) adding a string into the URL after the domain still works.

That is a good idea, however I will stick with a simple method for the first release and then add the custom uri later on ;)
