Is RSS bad for SEO?

    I read that RSS produces duplicate contents and Google sees this as such.

    Is RSS syndication, therefore, bad SEOwise?

    RSS is a good way to build backlinks.
    You don't give full RSS, only the first paragraph then make people click on the link, go to your site to read the rest parts of the article/post.

    A few tips for RSS feeds

    Get your RSS content (proactively) syndicated on other relevant websites [just the headlines and summaries of course]

    Submit your RSS feeds to all the RSS search engines and directories

    Use RSS to add relevant third-party content [again, just headlines and summaries] to your website to gain additional SE weight for your keywords

    Use RSS to deliver all of your frequently updated content, not just for your latest blog posts

    Whenever the content in your feed changes, ping the most important search engines and directories [yes, you don't need a blog for this]

    Hi there,

    RSS newsfeeds provide a variety of opportunities for increasing traffic to your website. For one, publishing your own feed is a great way to cut through the clutter of email spam and get your message directly to your target market.

    Regards

    In wordpress, you can change it under settings > reading > For each article in a feed, show > summary.

    not really unless you are publishing full feeds, you have a new site and a well establised sites start using your feed without giving you any credit.

    rss is GREAT for seo. the way i do it is, i do the feed with just title and description and dont use the full content therefore there is no duplicate content issue
