    Offtopic : Why don't you give credit to the original sites by removing that 'nofollow' from links. So all you want is a scraper site build from others content without giving them any credit (that too when all this is related to SEO)

    Then why is that nofollow link? Not to give them SEO benefit for their original content??

    is that the purpose of providing an RSS feed? SEO? do you think any rss feed from my.yahoo or any of the other newsreaders provide search engine benefits? RSS feeds were designed to syndicate content and attracted traffic to the original source - not SEO. This site makes it convenient for anyone looking for SEO-related information and generates additional traffic to the source. I'd say it's a pretty good deal for the original source.

    you also accused me of 'stealing' content which I greatly resent. Using a publically available RSS feed is hardly 'stealing' content. I give clear attribution to the source. Why don't you write a letter to Google and accuse them of stealing content to generate their Google News section?

    thanks

    Inclusion in google news is by application. Googles just doesn't pickup some site and start using its RSS content.

    Even with all your arguments about RSS philosophy, adding nofollow is not justified. If you really want to give credit to source, what is problem with having direct link to their content?

    I am sure you will come up with some argument.

    There is no problem. If you look at my webmasters section, I state that if I receive a recip link, I would remove the nofollow attribute. RSS was not designed for SEO and using it as such goes against the point of it. Also, with the amount of outgoing links on my site, the benefit would be negligable.

    Are you trying to say that I'm hurting these sites? You have already accused me of being a 'scraper' site which basically connotes that i steal content. I simply list the link to the source and the headlines of their latest blog or forum posts. That's hardly 'stealing content'.

    Answer me this, am I providing any benefit? Am I doing any damage to these sites?

    I personally built the site for my own use. Do you see no value in it? I do. I don't like going to a bunch of different sites to see the latest headlines. I like the consolidation. I use it daily. If you think I should take it down as a public site, I'd like to know why.

    You're free to contact the sites I have listed and report the fact that I have them listed on my site.

    Also, answer this - Would you want your RSS feed on my site?
