There is so much hype and misconception on the internet,  about duplicate content and RSS feeds these days. So, that in mind,  to start off, I wanted to put some of the rumor to rest.

Are websites that use duplicate content punished by google?

Well in a way, I guess you could say that, duplicate content will not get your banned or removed from google’s search results, it will simply not give credit to a site if it notices that the same article has already been indexed.  However the overall value of an article and its content even if it is duplicate can be valuable to a websites over all ranking and keyword density.

So does google really penalize for duplicate content?

The answer is No, google simply does not reward you for having duplicate content.

For all the naysayers out there I want to draw your attention to a website of mine that I use nothing but RSS feeds to build content on, meaning that I have never wrote an article for or even posted to the blog, ever!

The site is Cheap Joint – Online Deals

The reason I use this site for an example is that it is easy to see that the site is fulled daily with updates from many sites using an RSS feed reader and google has still assigned it the Page Rank of 2.  This is simple proof that if RSS feeds are used correctly and “blended” that your site can still get as much attention from the search engines as if you had written each update yourself.

Now, this site does have over 10,000 posts on it, so I for one am glad that I did not have to spend the time to add all these posts to it, but this is what I am interested in talking about in this article.  Anybody can build a site just like this one for cheap if not free.

What You Need To Automate Your Site With Fresh Content

I have added the free plugins “all in one adsense and ypn” and “wp-o-matic” to take full advantage of automating my blog.  You never have to post and never have to add your google ads using these plugins and they are free! All you will need is a good web host that offers free wordpress installs and a domain name!

This is just one example of how you can use rss feeds to create fresh content for any website.  If you are not using a wordpress blog there are other software’s out there that will take rss feeds using php and generate html code from the feeds automatically as well.  The fact is that using rss is an unlimited source for fresh content on any topic imaginable and if you are not able to keep up with your blog this may be a great way for you to fill in the holes, so to speak with updated content to keep your blog looking filled up with up to date info on your topic or niche and it costs nothing.

There are other tools that can really assist as far as making money with the automated content you are feeding your site.  Here is another example of a site that is being feed with nothing but rss feed data : Cheap Nokia Phones

This site uses a paid for script that lets you make feeds from amazon, click bank and other popular affiliate sites, using your own affiliate code to make a blog full of your own affiliate products.  Again, this is automatically feed, so you can see how easy it is to setup an automated money machine using this script.

If you are interested, here is a link to the RSS feed creator we have used on the cheap nokia site: Niche RSS Feed Generator
