Hey guys

Always wondered whats the point of posting rss feeds if other thousands of webmasters do the same, isn't this duplicated content for g0ogle? How could a rss feed website can rank high for any giving keywords if its penalized for that, and how come there are many many websites that do rank high with rss feeds as their content?

I started giving much interest in this lately as a good friend recommended it. I was first into writing content for my sites but i don't have 4 hands for all of my sites

Thanks

I personally use RSS Feeds very little. I have few blogs and mainly my sites are self-updating static sites. The only place I spend a lot of time on is my portal. I make a decent living on this bizz and have always based my efforts on my little two hands. I don't trust content srcipts and feeds.

But that's just me.

I don’t think google will penalize you for using syndicated rss feeds, it will see it as duplicate content, but most probably it will go over it, as it already gave the credit to the site that was considered the original source of that content.

Some time ago on a different forum another webmaster started a topic about “RSS Feeds vs Hand Written Blogs “ and he was asking at the end if there are any real benefits to rss feeds beside automatic updates.

My answer was this one:

In my opinion you should go for both ways, especially when an auto-blog can be setup in few hours or less if you have all ingredients. As far as I know there are many out there combining quality with quantity, they might have 1-2-10 blogs hand written, updated regularly and probably few/tens/hundrends/thousands of auto blogs (depending on each webmaster). Also there are many webmasters mixing auto with hand written posting.
There are benefits having quantity that’s still a fact, but with so many going on auto mode, it’s probably getting harder for everyone.
Choosing feeds that are not oversaturated, doing some smart optimization to it, adding some custom text to the post title and body … might help to get a good position on SE even with auto blogs. The benefits are obvious – more time for promoting – hundreds/thousands of pages indexed by SE – a source to push up your main blogs, using the network for ABC linking and so on…

As you see I just duplicated some content, would google penalize me for that? Trust me, it will not, because beside copying an excerpt from another site, I’m also trying to add some value to the web, it’s not like I duplicate the whole gfy site with the intention of manipulating search results.

Having 1 blog running entirely on auto mode with content from rss feeds, without any unique content, most probably will not be penalized, but also it’s harder to achieve good results with it in comparison with a hand written blog. But the auto blog has the advantage of quantity and time saving. It takes (maximum) few days even for a novice to setup a small network of auto blogs, lets say 10 – if in each blog there will be 10 categories, 1 auto post per day/category equals 10 entries per blog each day – 100 per day for the entire small network – 3000 posts per month. How long it takes to write 3000 posts by hand? If you spend more time with the details, benefits from auto blogs should increase as well. There are many things to talk about this… but in essence … if you pay more attention for details, you build your auto blogs with common-sense, you try to add also some unique content to it, you don’t use same feeds over and over again on all your blogs (having 10 auto blogs it’s not the same with having 1 blog cloned 10 times), don’t host all your blogs on the same ip etc etc etc…. it should do fine. In the future when you’ll see an auto blog doing better then others.. obviously you should pay more attention to it.. adding more unique content – decreasing auto posting maybe – better optimization – building more links etc.

You asked why some auto blogs are so well ranked – I tried to explain till now some of the reasons like “details” - but we should take in consideration that there are many adult webmasters out there not relying mostly on g00gle traffic (or other search engines), some of them don’t rely at all on SE.
Imagine a big webmaster with hundreds of sites in his network, opening a new auto blog with some nice feeds from a new sponsor (just an example) – what do you think this webmaster will do? It will let it for g00gle to decide this and that? or he will try to push some traffic to it from his network… to setup some trades maybe…or even to buy traffic etc? The fact that he will constantly feed this blog/site with traffic, will help it in the future to get higher traffic from SE as well?

Anyhow these are just my opinions, nothing more, I might be wrong…. that’s why is better to research more for yourself, do some tests first - see how it works for you and so on .

Read these articles as well it’s related to duplicate content and myths spinning around it.

Good luck with your work. Best regards, Johnny
