Hi, I've read that it's possible to use rss gathering scripts wich will convert rss feeds to content for my site or blog ... this is a fast automatic way of getting content ... I was wondering if anyone knows what the advantages (in terms of SEO / searchengines etc.. ) and the disadvantages are of doing this ... Grs - FOP -
Pros: Frequent updates, no cost (beyond initial development), fresh content on your site regularly. Cons: Potential duplicate content (although I don't think this causes a problem so long as the source and your site update regularly. Moaning from publishers who don't understand what they've done - I have feeds on one of my sites from del.icio.us and have had a number of emails from people questioning my inclusion of links they've posted publicly to del.icio.us not realising that by doing so, the link is in the public domain. Same can happen with flickr and other social networking sites.
I see ... thanks for you reply ... You want to tell me that the people who've dumped a link on delicious complain about finding that link in your posts ? FOP
