Sometimes I read very good stories about trying to get other websites to use your RSS feed. The advantages I can think of are:

– Obtaining backlinks since every article in the feed contains a link to the full article on your website
– Making sure that all your articles are indexed by Google since google will automatically find links to the article through the websites that use your feed

However, I can also think of negative influence:

– Google regarding the many links obtained from the use of your feed used on many pages (also bad pages in the eyes of Google) as spammy
– Google thinking that there is duplicate content because the feed contains lines literally copied from your website
– Google indexing the part of the article that is duplicated on other sites, and indexing it even before it indexes your own website resulting in Google thinking that your website has copied the content rather than the other way around

I consider adding our RSS feed to sites like these: http://www.yatoo.ch

Here you can choose your categorie and add your feed in the appropriate category, is this a good idea?

If so, can I add to as many websites as I want or do I need to be careful with this?

Can you recommend some websites to add our rss feed to?

Many thanks!

I’d like to believe that Google’s search engine is aware enough to be able to determine that they’ve found an RSS feed and not penalise the source for where it’s found – so I think that you should rest easy on that score.
:hattip:

We also use RSS feeds for our match content, but only for titles, we don’t share any of the article content, requiring a reader to click to read the content.

slightly related, if you submit your rss feed to a bunch of rss catalogues etc, they will inevitably end up getting scraped and republished on a bunch of autogenerated sites (full of scraped but usually related content).

If you publish whole articles / content pages in your feed, I recommend modifying your RSS feed to add an absolute link back to your original article, as well as a link to the root of your domain to help maximize your potential to get inbounds from RSS.

never publish your entire article through RSS … it is a risk of duplicate content and possibly having a more authoritative site rank before you and/or you being filtered out .. even if there is a link

yes there is that risk.. one can obviously just offer some of their page content via rss if they are totally parnoid.. The risk can be mitigated somewhat by using stuff like pingomatic when you publish. Also, If your site is spidered pretty much 24/7 and/or you manage to grab the Inbound linkage before the scrapers/syndicators, the s.e. will work out you are the original source pretty well from my experience.

I’m not too familiar with using RSS feeds. Is it easy to set up a system so only part of your articles are published to the feed? I’m guessing its like having blog excerpts, right?

[Aletheides]

Yes, you can control the amount being published. I recommend the first 100-150 words and make sure the RS feel gives a link back to the article with your main keyword phrase. It may take a little programming, but I have seen good results with this on publishing sites
