    Howdy Everyone,

    Regarding feedburner service, I am a bit confused with Nofollow option on publicize tab :-

    Suppose that I choose Noindex option within feedburner publicize tab.
    If I syndicate my blog content on blogcatalog or zimbio through the
    feed, does that mean search engines won't index content displaying on
    those sites? I am hoping that by noindexing feed, it will help
    prevent duplicate content issues created by feed syndication on
    external sites (auto feed scrapers or rss content stealers)

    Also, google uses my feed as a sitemap for my blog (webmaster tools)-
    It indexes my posts instantly due to the feed sitemap. By choosing
    noindex feed option, Will google bot stop indexing my content as
    quickly as it does currently through the feed sitemap?

    I am using summary burner (excerpts only) on feedburner. Do i also
    need to change site feed settings (half or full) on blogger too?

    I appreciate everyone's help or suggestions.

    Thanks in advance,

    Chetan
