RSS Feeds & Google?
Hi,
I have around 80 pages indexed by google (which is call of them) and I'm trying to add new content daily but to boost that number some more i am considering using a RSS feed for some extra articles on my subject. A couple of Q's about this:
1. How does Google view this?
2. Can anyone recommend any free\cheap RSS feeds on specific subjects?
In general if you use RSS out of the box the way it is intended to be used, you are helping the RSS provider much, much, much more than you are helping yourself. RSS feeds have little content (typically title, short description, link) and the link is always a link back to the RSS provider. So, when you put an RSS feed on your site you are draining that page of PR and handing it over to the RSS source site.
My suggestion: Read the TOS for the RSS feed carefully. I have found many lack specific language preventing you from modifying the RSS feed information before displaying it. In this case, you could modify the links to not be real links ... just display the url as plain text and not channel your PR to the source site.
If you are a developer type, then use your imagination and check the TOS carefully and you can make RSS work for you.

yep, that's what it seemed like to me.
but who actually uses these? I don't think I've seen that many sites use them
