Quick primer: 'RSS feed submission' in practical terms means making your feed URL easy for people and services to find — expose it in your HTML, list it where reputable aggregators and niche hubs look, announce it to a push hub, and include it in your sitemap. That distribution piece is what and are pointing at; the important follow-up is to get the feed formatted and served so subscribers and services ingest it reliably.

Technical checklist: validate the XML with a feed validator, serve the correct Content-Type (application/rss+xml or application/atom+xml) and return HTTP 200. Use stable GUIDs that point to the canonical post URL, include full absolute URLs for images, and set pubDate and category tags. Support WebSub (PubSubHubbub) or another push hub so updates reach subscribers immediately. Add the feed-discovery tag <link rel='alternate' type='application/rss+xml'> in your HTML head and list the feed URL in your site sitemap.

Submission strategy: focus on quality not quantity. Target well-maintained readers and curated hubs that preserve a clear link back to your site and respect canonical URLs rather than mass-submit to low-value directories that republish full posts without attribution. For audio content use podcast directories (they need enclosures and metadata); for vertical niches identify subject-specific aggregators or newsletters that accept feed imports. A few trusted placements plus proper technical setup beats scattershot submission.

Troubleshooting tips: if items don't show up, validate the feed XML, check robots.txt and mixed‑content blocking (HTTP assets on HTTPS pages), confirm GUIDs map to canonical URLs, and verify the hub is reachable. If scrapers republish full posts and harm search visibility, consider switching to summary feeds or ensuring your pages include an explicit rel=canonical back to the original post so search engines credit your site. Applying these steps will realize the distribution advantages mentioned by and while avoiding common pitfalls.

If you own a website that regularly posts content, setting up a feedburner (www.feedburner.com) allows your posts on the website to be syndicated, as well as give you a look into your subscriber counts, etc.

once you have a feed you can track, you can use RSS Feed submission sites to try to get people to view your blog and subscribe to your posts and such
