When you create autoblog sites, full rss feeds blog site is better or worse than excerpt rss feed sites?

Tried to create some autoblog sites, but not sure which way to go.

What's your comments and thoughts?
 
I didn't get your question. Which exactly feeds you are asking about: the ones you the content from, or your own feeds (feed settings of your autoblogs)?
 
I think full RSS will be quite better than just excerpts. You need to have all the latest and updated posts from the blogs you chose to generate content with your own autoblog, so you should go for full RSS. In that way, your posts will get updated every single day (depends on the settings you have in your autoblog).

So is your blog installed with WP-Robot?
 
Anyone know of a tutorial about how to setup autoblogs?

to be exact i need to learn how to feed rss to my site and quote the site as the source, any help or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated, ty

Ones I will get content from. Just try to figure out which way is better by using full rss feeds or excerpt feeds.
 
Paulcarter97,

Thanks for input. Full RSS feeds do give more content, but not sure whether it will be higher chance to be recognized as duplicate content.

I try to use wp robot, but still try to figure other issues.
 
I found AutoBlogging to be pretty simple. Download ABS, AutoBloggingSoftware, search BHW as i got it from here. Pretty much guides you through it.

Good luck, CazuaL

Of course the full content is better then. However you will need a professional autoblogging software to syndicate the full articles, even if the RSS feed does contain only short descriptions and links to the source sites.

For example, here is a standard Amazon product RSS which contains only small images and no descriptions at all: http://www.amazon.com/rss/bestsellers/229638?tag=pv0a5-20

So if you syndicate such a feed with any amateur autoblogging plugin (doesn't matter free or premium), your posts will contain only a small thumbnail, product name and the price. But with professional plugins like http://www.cyberseo.net/, the syndicated posts will look like this: http://www.cyberseo.net/demo/amazon-store-blog/ca-internet-sec-ste-2007-home-prot-pk-with-warranty-xl-box-ecommerce/

That's because the plugin is able to get the full articles from the original HTML pages the RSS feed is linked to.
