Many webmasters have realized the advantages of using RSS to dynamically update websites. This means that the website content automatically changes when the RSS feed is updated. This allows for webmasters to serve dynamic content or a mix of static and dynamic content on your site.
Loan Syndication
Often, editors interested in expanding their base, allows other webmasters to republish content from an RSS feed. Content providers that enable syndication, receive additional exposure, and webmasters serving content, usually will see web traffic increase as a result of new content. RSS Feeds may be distributed or displayed using a variety of different methods. Depending on the host, server configuration, and the intention of the editors, there are a variety of different syndication tools.
In most cases, providers convert RSS feeds to HTML to display the content of feeds. The following are some of the most popular methods to convert RSS feeds to web-based content.
Hosted services
The easiest solution is not dependent on the server, a third host displays the contents of the feed. The disadvantage of using a hosted service is that you rely on third parties. If the third party websites have problems, your content will not be displayed. In addition, webmasters often unable to customize how the content appears on hosted servers and there is no benefit of real search engine for hosting companies. examples-FeedBurner.com-http://www.feedburner.com

Scripts
Using scripts to display RSS feeds on a website is probably the most effective solution. In addition, the webmaster using ASP or PHP scripts to convert your feeds, keep track of the "appearance" of the content displayed. Webmasters also gain the benefits of hosting the feed in a domain that is within the control of webmasters. Use ASP or PHP will allow search engines to spider the actual content of the RSS feed as if it were part of the actual HTML. Special attention to the solutions that cache the RSS feed. If your RSS feed is popular this will save significant bandwidth.
PHP
PHP is a popular scripting language that is often used to dynamically update the web pages. PHP support is available on most web servers that are running on a Unix operating system. example-rss2html.php-http://www.feedforall.com/free-php-script.htm
ASP
ASP or Active Server pages is a scripting language similar to PHP, but support is most often found on web servers. Rss2html.asp-example-http://www.bytescout.com/how_to_display_rss_using_asp.html
JavaScript
JavaScript is easy to use, and many websites will produce code that needs to be inserted into the HTML web page, making it all too easy to implementation for webmasters. The downside for most javascript solutions is that the Web page calls the script each time, and the actual content of the feed is not able to be spidered or indexed by search engines. Therefore, while javascript is easy to use, there is very little benefit to the webmaster. Search engines will not detect any new content or keywords contained in the content of the feed, then your optimization little benefit to display RSS feeds using javascript. In addition, although unusual, occasionally site visitors have javascript disabled in your browser, if they cannot view the contents of the feed. FeedRoll Pro-example-http://www.feedrollpro.com
