Can multiple RSS feeds on the same site hurt in SERPs?

The main feed of a site, and a blog rss feed on the same site

I am quite curious about this.

On my main site, there is a manually created RSS feed. Ping google, and it is crawled immediately and indexed with a good ranking in the SERPs.

There is a blog in a subdirectory -- www.site.com/blog/ with its own RSS feed.

The pages from the blog are actually part of the main site, but it is there just because of convenience of WordPress.

What is the ideal scenario in this case? Should the site have a single rss feed, or should I merge the two together?

I have noticed that when I add any item from the blog posts to the site's main RSS feed, it does not appear in blogsearch.google.com search in the format blogurl:www.site.com but would appear only for the search specific to the blog like blogurl:www.site.com/blog/

What is the ideal option in this scenario?

Does having two feeds confuse Google in some way?

Google reports that they just dropped RSS feeds from their regular search results with the exception of podcast feeds. So you should have no worries.

See the recent post (12/18) in this thread for more detail:

Also, see Google's information, here:

Thanks for that Tedster, hadn't noticed that.

However my question is not about RSS feeds in the SERPs - its about the actual stories for the RSS feeds.
