This will result in greater exposure to your feed. link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0″ href="http://www.YourRssUrlHERE.com/abc2.php" / Make sure to put this in head tag.If you are using Advanced script like WordPress then this is automatically created for you.

An example : link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Feed" href="http://www.YourDomain.com/rssfile.xml" / You can replace the RSS file (rssfile.xml) with your blog's rss file.Example if your Wordpress blog is at www.xyz.com/blog then your RSS would be www.xyz.com/blog/wp-rss2.php and hence the Auto discovery file would be : link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Feed" href="http://www.xyz.com/blog/wp-rss2.php" / Make sure this particular meta tag is in between your head tag of your blog.
