Resssesss Quessstion

Do you ever worry about some lowly bastard taking your RSS feed and basically duping your site's content with it? Or is Google smart enough to look at the feed's originating source, which is coded into the feed, and realize that it's merely someone pulling your feed and therefore the content should not be the basis of any SE love for the site?

I don't worry about it. If someone wants to use my feed, as long as they don't change my ref codes, they are welcome to it.

I watch my stats pretty much like anyone else would for any unusual activity but other than that, I don't give it much thought.

I believe that G look at it as a + to the feed source (in this case Your site). It's not considered as duplicated content (I know we can argue about it

) or stuff like that but as popularity of Your content (something like backup links). If it wasn't like that all sponsor feeds would be fucked up and looking at few of my blogs that uses only RSS from sponsors for almost a year now they'd be fucked too. Instead traffic numbers go up.

I agree with Walrus. More traffic and link backs..

I'm more concerned with how Google perceives such things, dupe content and such. It wouldn't be a blog feed and wouldn't be full of affiliate links to earn from.

In that case, I'd be more concerned with someone stealing my hard work than what google would do. Since I can pick and chose which items I want to use from your feed and which to throw away, I could duplicate what you are doing with a completely different spin...or an identical one.

That having been said, I don't believe the big G or any of the other brethern can tell the origin of a feed since it is processed server side. Therefore he who is the most trustworthy and relevant in big G's eyes wins out. Now the question is....how bad do you think the dupe content penalty is.
