Hi,

I just started using RSS Evo and I assumed the following would be what would happen.

If I had a site about container gardening for example and I had a list of keywords that were:
container gardening
container flower gardening
container gardening supplies

I would expect RSS Evo to create files as follows:
index.php
container-gardening.php
container-flower-gardening.php
container-gardening-supplies.php
sitemap.php

However, instead I am getting a bunch of extra .php files and I'm guessing the program is trying to be too clever and is making up its own additional pages. [How do I stop this?]

There is no page generated for container-flower-gardening or container-gardening-supplies. These are two of my main keywords and they don't appear. Worse than that the software only generated 33% of the required keyword pages. [How do I get it to produce the right keyword pages?]

On the generate page, I selected
> Each item of output becomes one page
> Fetch Each Feed For Each Keyword (because I only added one feed in the feed tab)
> Items From Feed = 3
> Newest Items
> All Feeds

On examining the site, the index page has 3 RSS results as expected. However, each of the content pages only has one result. [How do I get 3 results on individual keyword pages?]

The sitemap has a total of 8 identical links to container-gardening.php. [Anyone know why?]

Answers to any of the above would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
GJ

Your assumptions are not quite correct. The program will name the files based on the rss item title, not based on the keyword. If it would name pages from keyword, for each keyword would been one page only, but a feed usually pull more items for that keyword. It coould not create one page for each item if all would been named like keyword.php

[GJRSS]

I think that's unfortunate. When you grab keywords from the likes of wordtracker you are getting actual searches by users. You could then create a highly optimised page to match each of those keywords, with title, header, footer, image alt etc.
The feeds could then make up the content.

I have an alternative solution but RSS Evo would have been quicker and more configurable. Do you have an equivalent product that does the above?

Hi
If you use CS for the content then you can have the keyword in the title and then each output would be the "keyword.html".. I work it this way and it creates an excellent result ..it also means that all your "links" on the menu will have names like "container flowers", "Containter gardens" or what ever keywords it is you where using..

To bad, I just bought RSS evolution......

If that is the case with CS then why would someone use RSS evolution anymore?

Because CS can only export individual html files, while RSSE can build full sites, with index and sitemap, with link to external sites and so on.

CS and RSSE does not exclude eachother, they even complete eachother.

ok, but I do agree with the starter of this topic that a option for giving the .html file the names of your keywordlist would be more valueable in case of seo.

I understand that it can't be done with the option "each feed output becomes one page" but which the option "all feed output becomes one page" in theory it must be possible.

[Omar]

Yes, in theory it is possible, but only with the "all feed output become one page" option. I will talk with the programmers about this possibility.

[Peter]

That would be great.

Another future requiremnet: An option to select something like "Ignore message if no feeds are found for your keyword"

Now I have to manually click OK everytime I get this message. That no disaster but I would be nice to let RSSE genereate the pages and to do something else instead of staring at your monitor and wating for error popups.

gr,
Peter

There is a checkbox that say "silent mode" on the generation tab. Check that and it should work without any messages or buttons to click.
