: Do or don't submit the comment-feed of your blog? A commentsfeed (of a blog) might serve perfectly as a commentssitemap. I'm wondering if it's a good idea to submit this feed to Google's webmaster

@Rivera981

I would answer no to this question, for the following reasons:


RSS as an alternative for XML Sitemap is just that - an alternative
The comments feed is just a list of fragment references (the bit in the URL after the #) to one page, as opposed to a list of unique page URLs - which is the intent of a sitemap.
I would suggest that comments aren't (normally) the strongest value area of a page - you would hope that the actual content being commented on was, so there doesn't seem to be much value highlighting the low-value are to search engines.
