RSS and SEO.

    I recently started up http://www.realitytvplus.com/ and I know that writing unique content for a website is the best policy SEO-wise, but by me displaying reality tv news articles on my site from other sites, via RSS, is this a bad thing for me?

    Do any of you guys have any sites that are RSS feed dependant and what advice can you offer me.

    Thanks!

    :D

    My pages are clean html pages, with the rss content seamlessly embedded on them.

    I was more concerned about me having content that is also on countless other pages out there, being that it's from RSS feeds. I thought that having similar content hurt you significantly with the engines.

    I have good results with the feeds on my SEO site. The bots visit my site regularly and the feed i get from Google News is very relevant to my site too (more targeted). Therefore, i would say RSS is recommended as part of SEO :)

    Nowadays, most search engines considering RSS feeds and XML for the websites. i.e. if your website providing RSS feeds means your website is updating very oftenly and giving unique content to visitors. Google also indexing the RSS feeds webpages in the search results.

    Remember, after creation of RSS feed just ping to search enigines and try to ping to Search engines always when a new page OR new content added to your website RSS feed.

    Do let me know if you need any clarifications on RSS or XML.

    Thanks.

    I think it is good as long as the feeds fit into the content.
    I use them on my blog at http://www.wcgermany.org with some degree of success
