gbpMemberI have always been a little cloudy on the SEO benefit of RSS feeds. Any content you get from a feed is going to be duplicate content, wouldn’t this content be over looked? Or is the simple fact that you have ANY updated content regularly that gives you the benefit? :hattip:

neophyteMembergoogle knows where the content comes from originally and thats ok. you can noindex the pages with duplicate content if you feel it may be detrimental (esp if u scrape a whole RSS article and serve it from your site)
if u supplement some unique content with some feeds, thats ok. most portals do so, whether finance, gambling or whatever..

This alleviates the negativity, but where is the positive as far as SEO is concerned? I’m sorry if I missed it.

neophyteMembersyndicating highly relevant content which compliments your site, but doesn’t make your site is a plus in the eyes of the SEs I am sure, however getting other sites to syndicate YOUR content via RSS maximizes SEO benefits since it makes your site look like a more authoritative site.

gbpMemberThat makes a lot of sense. It lends to the confirmation of you site’s relevance to your contents.
Thanks Alex and OP!
