The brand New demo site based on Joomla 1.5.6 (http://rssfactory-pro.thefactory.ro/) wants not only to be a presentation site for RSSFactory PRO, but is an example on how to implement this Component in order to increase the SEO. Notice the structured feed selection around some major themes, themes that provide a great deal of keywords, and also through refreshing the website has always new content. Google loves RSS syndication, and there should be no SEO concious webmaster that ignores this fact. A well thought RSS integration brings keyword oriented traffic - the good traffic we all want. Take a look at our demo site, feel free to log in as admin too and have a look at the administative option. We also added two demo pages for our RSS2Image Factory Module. (http://rssfactory-pro.thefactory.ro/rf-pro-rss2img-1) The Module has several configuration options - these two instances are just samples in order to get an idea on the functionality.
