I agree with Manchester. I have found that when others publish my RSS feeds, it helps to bring more traffic to my sites.

Surely getting your feed out there can only be good for your website as it will not only spread the word about your site but you will get the backlinks so you get better page rank, or am I missing something?

I thought it was a good thing too.

I suppose the problem is that someone is using your rss feed in an autoblog.
I'm saying this because obviously someone can copy your content by just reading the posts on your websites, but auto-blogging is sort of an automated (and continuous) theft of content, so it's far more annoying.To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to block a specific site from using your feed: the only choice would be to stop your feed altogether, but as many people said here, this is not so good for you site in terms of promotion.
Maybe you can consider adding a final line to all your posts saying that you own the copyright of that content, and that publishing that content on different websites is totally unauthorized.

IMO the threat from autoblogging is minimal now that google and other search engines have mechanisms in place to prevent article spinning. For my personal blog I'm even notified when someone has copied one of my blogs.

Does it matter as long as they link back to you? Google can tell who posted first

I want to allow only some specific sites to use my feeds, who i can do this?

rachelrupp if you only want specific sites to use your feed then keep your feed path private with these site owners. Alternatively restrict which IP addresses are permitted to access your feed.

Thanks for the above answer on keeping specific feed paths private, I also wanted an answer.

My understanding is, that the more RSS feeds you get, the more backlinks you receive. So I can't imagine this should be a problem wherever the feeds come from. Google won't penalise you for too many backlinks :-)

It is a good thing if someone is using your RSS feed. You are getting free syndication of your content and it is making whatever is broadcast over your RSS feed more popular.

heh, you can try just put in your deny IP list

I concur with concord depending on who your website host is. Just log in and block the rss feed in the IP deny panel.

Great forum!!! I have learned a lot here. Now I know what to do.

I agree that you won't be affected with what others do with your feed. Also, for bloggers, there are great plugins that automatically create and submit your blog feeds to dozens of RSS Feed Aggregators, the mpment you publish.
Personally, I am using one of those plugins and it is just awesome! It has helped me create sufficient backlinks to rank on Google page one. on several blogs.

Haha, why is it a bad thing?! o_0

i agree it's a good thing. but one question: how about spam blogs scraping your content through your feed but remove links back to your site?

@meghanrye23
are you saying that there are autoblogging tools that can scrape your content and remove the links from the posts ?now that's scary ...

Hi guys, so wait is there an answer to this b/c I also have a problems with jerks scraping my content. I think they are going off my feed and then somehow drilling into my site to steal my content. I know which sites / blogs they are, would like to block them. Not sure if that is a feature of this product or if I have to do it outside this product. any help would be great!
