    Hello all,

    A quick question about Auto content blogs. Is this legal?

    I can see many people start using Auto content blogs with adsense to make some money on it.

    I also see some people using Google News as their primary source to add content to their blogs.

    However, as per Google News TOS,
    which means, the rss feeds should not be used for commercial use.

    What you guys/gals think???

    Many people are using them successfully on their blogs.. I never heard anyone getting banned because using rss feeds. So is it safe to assume that it is safe?

    TOS clearly says we should not use for Commercial use. how the people are using it???

    Many of them doing it without knowing the fact, I think.

    Like what the others have said before, some of them have used it successfully and I haven't heard anyone get in trouble with it. This doesn't mean that you won't though (just use caution).

    Anyway, if I were you, I would use them but make sure you reference Google as the source and link back to them. Make sure you recognize the author, so its not plagiarism.

    In fact you are even helping them market the articles by putting it on your blog and linking back to them. This is like submitting their article to your ezine site and adding link building.
