What is RSS?

0 comments
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It allows you to see jobs, news feeds or information in real time, from sites that provide RSS as an option. On SEOVacancies - SEO, SEM PPC Jobs and Careers, once you have carried out a search for a job, you can use RSS to notify you whenever a new job that matches your search is advertised on the site. A discrete window appears on your desktop, a bit like a messenger window, to let you know that a job has been advertised. You then click on the link in the window to go straight to SEOVacancies - SEO, SEM PPC Jobs and Careers to view the job.

RSS readers are freely available for download from the internet as shareware. There are many different providers and SEOVacancies - SEO, SEM PPC Jobs and Careers does not recommend any particular reader. For more information on RSS readers, please visit the links below.
