There are lot of directories on the web which accepts RSS feeds, so basically you submit your rss feed along with name and description and tags so other who are looking for that kind of content can use it. Its a reasonable balanced give and take relationship as you are giving your content and in return you are getting potential visitors.

Now without naming some of these feed aggregators, it looks like these feed aggregators are taking your feeds (partial or full) and publishing the content on their site with giving a link to your site. Now the problem with this arrangement is that these are old and established websites with lot of authority so if the same content gets published on your site and their site, they will out rank you in google search engine.

I am seeing this more and more in google where such RSS feed aggregation websites are ranking for content which is not theirs. Also these feed aggregators are also misused by scrappers as they take the feeds and use them on their own blogs, Now these black hat scrappers are obviously smart and knows the inside out of SEO and search engine rankings and they too manage to outrank the origianl content of blog, so basicaly the blogger who is submitting his feed to these RSS feed directories and aggregators is only losing and not gainng anything in return.

So the ideal choice would be to always publish partial feed, specially if your blog is very new and don’t have authority in google search engine and avoid submitting to these RSS feed directories and aggregators. If anyone feels otherwise, Please put their thoughts in comments.
