This is as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

And this is RSS feeds in Google search results, written , and concerning Web, Usability

Google searches seem to be throwing up a lot of RSS feeds these days. Quite often I'll find that the feed for a given weblog post is returned higher in the results than the weblog post itself, or worse that the feed is returned and the actual post isn't! This is as annoying as hell for me, and it'd be death for someone less technical who would just get a big screen full of XML. Google: do something about it, you know it makes sense.

Could robots.txt be used to stop google following *rss* urls?

(I've had the same problem, so you're not alone!)

Use the google cached version to access the post that the search turned up.
