Discover is incorporating follow feature that lets people get updates from their favorite website. It is being said that the Follow feature uses RSS/Atom feed to display the content.

Hence, add the following in the tag and remember the points mentioned below:

RSS

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/amDG">

Atom

<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="https://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/amDG">

  1. Your robots.txt file shouldn’t block your feeds.
  2. Your feed should also be up-to-date like your sitemap.
  3. Google allows you to host your feed other than your domain. Moreover, if you do so then use a 3xx (redirects) HTTP status code so that Google can follow it.

Don’t worry if you don’t have an RSS or Atom feed on your website, Google automatically generates a feed for your entire domain based on our view of your site.
