Can anyone tell me if there is anything wrong using RSS feeds?

RSS feeds are possibly the best way to provide updated content to a website.

Yes, they are a good way to provide updated content on a website. But keep in mind that the content of an RSS feed is, in fact, a copy or duplicate of content that exists somewhere else on the internet.

RSS is a gold mine if you're publishing an RSS feed that others can use on their sites--especially because it links back to your website. However, it's not such a gold mine if you're using an RSS feed on your site because it's merely a duplicate.

Bhartzer & msuggs3, Thanks for that. But will there be anything wrong if we use it for pure commercial sites such as www.phonesunlimited.co.uk site?
