RSS feeds with dup content and titles
-
Hi,
For my Buddypress site I use a tool to create sites with RSS feeds. Each site is for a different feed, but the number of dup tiles and content is running in the thousands.
I've been trying to reduce the dups, but have begun to think there is more trouble from such content than benefit. Should I dump the content or ignore the errors flagged by SEOMOZ?
Any ideas if thes RSS feed dups are hurting my BuddyPress site?
Any suggestions in general about how to eliminate such dupe for a Buddypress Site, eg. the activity log.

Hi,
Thanks for responding. I just deleted the feeds because there were so many errors. In other words, I can no longer point you to thethe BP subsite with all the errors. I may circle back around to this once I get other stuff in order. I'm not donviced that RSS feeds will attact new visitors.

Hi Larry!
Sorry no one's been by to answer the question yet - perhaps your site URL(s) would help. Feel free to DM it to me if you don't want to say it here and I'll answer back here publicly.
Thanks!

Does aggregating content hurt your moz / google rank?
I have a news section on my site that I aggregate from multiple RSS feeds. They are stored on my site and I have sitemap that links to them. Is this a negative thing to do? Since its overall duplicate content to another site, it may be a strike against me. Should I just leave it as an updating feed and not keep the articles visible on my site?

Who gets credit for content
Does it really matter if somebody takes your content changes it slightly and republishes it? This is my original article on history of house paints which was also published on ezine in Feb. and from google alerts I discovered this page http://www.franklinpainting.com/blog/home/a-brief-history-of-house-painting/ a minimally modified version. It is not easy to create content so these folks just copied and made a blog post. Their are now many versions of this on the web..who wins?

Best way to avoid duplicate content issues here.
I am planning to write an article that refutes some claims made in another article. The original article is a 20 page pdf. What I plan to do is to take quotes from this PDF and then under each quote write my arguments for or against the quote. If I take direct quotes from the article, is Google likely to see this as duplicate content?

Free RSS hosting service?
I have a list of URLs of articles I have written and posted in many different article databases. But many of the URLs are not indexed by Google. How can I get them indexed? I was thinking of putting them into an RSS feed and then pinging that feed. Good idea or bad? If a good idea, can anyone recommend a free RSS hosting site? Thanks.
