    Do you mean that people take your feeds and include it on their own website thus giving rise to more than one website with the same content?

    If so and you think that it is a problem then surely your only solution is to disable your RSS feed or use a feed that does not syndicate whole posts.

      Just say your content that you syndicate to RSS Feed directorys' are more or less duplicate content. Im just wondering does that effect some of those backlinks?

      That's not anything to worry about.
      Every news site in the world copies reuters, AP, etc.
      Publishing duplicate content in and of itself is not bad for
      the site nor the site where it's gleaned.

      Besides, many feeds are done using some type of script.
      Content does not show in the html.

      You want people to publish your feed. That's what rss is for,
      actually, when you stop and think about it.

      People think duplicate content=sky is falling.

      If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

        Yes! Why wouldn't you want your content syndicated? That's the whole purpose of RSS submission--syndication=back links.

    Duplicate content isn't the issue, but my feeds only show a summary. That way at least people need to click through to my site to see the rest of the article. That way I'm not losing readers and income.

      Exactly. If you choose to syndicate your work you need to work out how to benefit from it - syndicating a summary with a link back to your own site is a particularly good way.
