If you're trying to drive traffic to your blog or website, an RSS Feed can create Backlinks, which in turn create Link-Juice for your site, which helps your website rank higher in the search engines, it's that simple. A URL / hyperlink (typically in an article) that points to your blog, website, or capture page, etc., is known as a Backlink.
When Google and other search engines crawl sites, they look for links and where they point to. Think of it this way, if you had 100 articles posted on 100 different websites and each article had a link to your blog or a page on your blog, Google would rank that website higher because there are loads of one-way links pointing to the same place...your website's homepage or an article / piece of content on your website. The more one-way links...the higher your website ranks.
Let's take it to the next level...your Blog, Facebook, Twitter, Squidoo, HubPages, YouTube, and almost every site where you can post content has an RSS feed. You then take each one of your feeds and submit it to an RSS Submission site.
