Using Syndicated Content ?

[jerxs]

I havent used any syndicated content on any websites thus far, though I hear allot about people working RSS feeds into their websites.

Would this be a good use of RSS feeds? Am I using them properly? Should I be doing something different as far as working them into this website?

Thanks Jer

Screw it I will assume thats good enough.

One more question if anyone cares to answer.

If a site offers syndicated feeds, does that automatically meen the feeds are fair game? Meening its legally cool to use the feeds on a website......

Site looks fine, but your ads are all for RSS, not TV-related. Might want to figure that out.

Thank you, I might use yahoo adds there and their ad targeting.

Its really a working experiement, I want to add more than just a forum to the site, so I am trying different things.

Actually I've has that problem with adsense and rss feeds before too, all you have to do is use the adsense exclude tag to exclude your rss feeds and you should get site related ads.

Which (in everyones own opinion) is better in terms of making money:
1 - create a website and write your own ( or buy) content which takes a bit of time.
2 - use syndicated content instead which can be set up v.quickly

That goes back to the old question "how long is a piece of string?" Both types of sites have pros and cons and both types of sites can make you money.
