Blogs with RSS Feeds

Is this against the Google TOS

[newborn]

Hello please advise me is having a blog thats populated with RSS feeds in the posts against the Adsense TOS.

Please let me know guys I want to create a set it and forget it blog for a niche. Of course I will add my own posts but not daily. I just wanted to know because there is a software that seems to do this and I wanted to know if it was worth the heavy cost.

If you want to set up your own blog, and use your own content there doesn't have to be a heavy cost. There are loads of free bogging scripts out there.

Regarding Adsense, so long as your content is good and unique you have a good a chance as anyone else.

Good luck!

You might want to check the TOS at the sites providing the RSS feeds. You'll find a lot of them prohibit the use of the RSS feed content for commercial purposes.

If you violate that and one of them reports it to Google, that could be the end of your AdSense account.

I found a blog the other day that even had AdSense in the name, but it was just to capture other people's copyrighted content (no rhyme or reason or common theme... not content 'about' AdSense) to make money on ads. I promptly reported them to Google -- we shall see! They came up on a search for feeds to add to my Google home page. LOL

Another site I found was capturing and archiving only newsletters. I emailed them to remove all of mine and they did so promptly. Don't need the 'duplicate content' thing going on!

So -- just bear in mind -- if you are posting more than just their live feed headline and teaser, you might get a request to remove it.

Just get permission if it is the entire article, post, etc. first. They might just get irritated and report you to Google w/o seeking you out first.

Just my 2 cents!
