Another Duplicate Content Question

[phuckbunny]

There doesn't seem to be much of a consensus on the amount of duplicate content or interlinking you can do with your own sites.

The intelinking particularly confuses me b/c that would render any "hub" sites and logically even LL's obsolete and sentenced to google hell for eternity.

Now, here's a question, if say I have a network of variously divergent sites in terms of content and then have another blog that I would feed with an RSS from each niche-specific site, am I going to get my ass kicked by SE's?

Frankly I almost don't care b/c I've gotten my ass kicked while playing by the rules. Any ideas?

I doubt it - why don't you use a tool like auto-blogger which allows you to modify the feeds to avoid duplicate content issues.

I don't think ALL interlinking is considered bad. It's when you heavily interlink, always linking A to everything and everything back to A kind of deal.

My advice is not to worry overly. Like you've said, you've played the Google game and been burned.

I would keep up to date on the rules, like you have, but don't let it overly stress you out.

Thx Monica, I think I'll play around and see what happens instead of being paranoid.

Raz, I looked into auto blogger but I've heard mixed things about it and didn't feel like shelling out 300$. I found another similar product but it still didnt do what I wanted, but..

Here's what I'm saying.

Back to Fleshbot again, sorry, they cover a whole mess of stuff. They were also one of the first and still one of the few that feature both gay and straight content, part of their whole shtick, a lot of it is written by chicks, etc.

Anyway I guess what I'm wondering about is

Let's say I have a network of blogs covering the sexual spectrum from Anal to Zebra Porn. Not splogs, but nothing I post more than one post a day or two on.

What would happen if I have a "hub" blog on which I post say, only a few times per week, but which gets fed by my other, smaller sites through feeds.

Is this supposed to be non-legit for the SE's?

If it is, I can only say WTF.

PS - Raz, modifying the feeds would still require much more work than this concept, I might as well make new posts.

Almost all blogs have feeds of some sort, so I don't think it would be a big deal. My own blog has a "latest news" feed that I assume helps, not hurts.

How about if you have a page where you have your feeds and call it your "latest updates on cool news and hip happenings" or something like that? Then your getting your links and feeds, but not on your main post page. Then just make a post a day or two days and that would be fine.

Hmmm. That's an interesting idea, Bill, which might 'take the edge off' of being just a feedlist.

Maybe there's a template that's almost exactly split down the middle like a newspaper column, one for the occasional original post and one for pulling posts from all the other blogs...?

My issue is whether you get penalized for pulling content from your own feeds.
