Still improving my lil’ demo apps code I’ve moved on to create more permalink google-friendly site structures and reading data off RSS feeds.
So in the benefit of others, here’s what I found,
SEO on Rails …nice blog on integrating basic SEO tactics into your rails app, friendly permalinks, url mapping and dynamic metatags.
Screen Scraping …good in-depth article on screen scraping with Rails, pulling off html data from a target website (e.g. Twitter) to import into your database
Google / Yahoo Sitemaps …excellent article showing how to get your Rails App to create Yahoo / Google compatible sitemaps using the in-built XML features of Ruby.
Enjoy,
John.
