    Hi all,

    I have section of my website for news/stories related to my niche, and it posts content on a daily basis via RSS. I'm wondering, because I currently have accumulated hundreds of pages of content due to this...will this hurt me in any way from an SEO perspective due to duplicated content?

    Thanks

    I agree, RSS feeds will not harm your site, as they are recognized as such by Google. I'd be more worried about providing my own content.

    Yes, I agree, I would say that RSS feeds can not do anything but help, the search engines love constant updates of content and RSS feeds help do just that.
