Best utilization of Blog/RSS for Google

[manvbf]

I'm still sandboxed after over a year and not going to hold my breath anymore. I have 2 sort of related questions.

I have a blog separate from my website which are after the same market. What's the best way to utilize the blog and my website to help my rankings in Google? Right now I just have some links between the two, but I'm wondering if it would be better to have a feed from my blog to my site for new content.

Second, my friend has a blog whose content I would like to feed into my site (with her permission of course) or would I be better just copying her posts over as separate html pages? Is there any problem with dupe content with feed a blog into a site?

Any input would be appreciated. thanks!

Hi..

The advantage of blog:

1) Blog get RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feature, your customer can "subscribe" to your blog and get regular updates delivered to their desktop, their RSS reader, or to their personal homepage at Google, Yahoo or Live.

2) For user experience, RSS feed is more friendly compare to email newsletter. User is in the position to choose want to subscribe or not. Email newsletter is more like "force" to receive it.

3) Blog & RSS won't spam.

4) You can update your company latest news any time any where. Eg. Your company get event in hotel, you can update the event latest information to blog through your mobile, live and fresh.

5) SEO tactic. If you update the blog free quaintly and build quality content, attract more visitors and link building, your blog and website will get more high ranking in search engine.

Is there any problem with dupe content with feed a blog into a site?

However if you provide the source url, no duplicate issue might occur.
