    hi,
    as we all know if we have a blog and a feed many sites such as technorati, blogcatalog takes our feeds and show part of contents into their websites
    My question : is that considered a penalty of copy content for us the owners of blogs ?

    I wouldn't have thought so as your site should be considered as the originating source. I suppose it could be possible if an authority site copied your feeds verbatim and then your site was seen as a duplicate copy.

    I guess someone more experienced than I in this field may be able to clear this up.

    I wouldn't worry too much about it though as most blogs have an RSS feed that other sites pick up and no one else seems to be stating any problems.

    I question this also, since RSS feeds instantly put your content out on many sites how in the heck can a search engines decide who the original content provider is? The only thing I can think of is they can filter RSS programming,

    BUT, if the big G spiders an RSS data feed site which has your content up first then spiders your site can it give your site a dup content? I mean how can they know who the originator is?

    simple answer do not index the rss feeds.... the rss feed is there so people do not have to visit your web site to read the updates....

    All RSS feeds have titles which link to your site. Any good site would not remove those titles, thus giving a clear indication to search engines the source of the site.

    Yeah, that makes the most sense I suppose, the RSS data should be fed through your site info letting the SE know the original source...

    I hope so because I just did a ton of marketing on my RSS feed and this post got me worried...

    google has launched a ad for feeds so Im pretty sure they are aware of which content that belongs to which site :)
