How do I add my feed to the search results for Google's personalized homepage and Google Reader?

The feeds that Googlebot crawls appear in the search results for Google's personalized homepage and Google Reader. To ensure that your feed is part of this index, add a tag to the header of your webpage to enable feed autodiscovery. There are a lot of variations on tags for this purpose, but below are a couple simple examples.

For an Atom feed:



For an RSS feed:


any help much appreciated

I changed the code to

and put it before the ?> at the bottom of my header.php

*note don't do that*

So what do i need to do?

The above code is correct.

To display your rss feed to personalized google page you have to "add content" from by clicking the link to add content.
There you have to write this : http://my site/backend.php
So if you want your visitors to add your rss to their google page you have to provide the above link.

I tried to add it to my personal google page by typing in the url/backend.php but it says it didn't match any feeds

so i found where it said to put that code into my header but I'm not sure exactly where or how to include it so it will find my feed via the google feedcatcher crawler.I tried what it said but i put it in the header.php file and my site got a white page.I guess I'm confused by the placement of the code and is that where i want to have it.

I tried to add it in the haeder.php at the bottom before the ?> and I then got a white out when trying to visit my site.

I noticed when adding other codes they sometime have include or /include once then some code when adding to php files.So I'm thinkin i need to do something like this but I'm not a programmer and What kinda effect it will cause scares me

heres the page that you get from the bot visiting you http://www.google.com/feedfetcher.html
and when you start reading you end up here at #16
http://www.google.com/webmasters/bot.html#autodiscovery

Just a matter of how and where to make it work for me and the rest of us newbs.

The autodiscovery feature has nothing to do with your backend.php rss output.

If google says that it doesnt match any feed than it is so. Its possible that your rss feed is not xml valid or feedfetcher is blocked by a firewall from the webserver wich blocks fetching.

Also it is possible to occur an error at the time of fetching so plz retry it many times.

I found out you need to add the above code to your theme.html not the header.php

and on Herves site I found a button to add your backend to google homepages thru fusion.google I just added the code to my footer in preferences



This will work for now till I learn a better way.
Thanks for help
