Default RSS feeds

I'm thinking about adding RSS feeds to my website. Not my own feeds but from other websites. Something like news etc.
What do you guys think, did this will be good idea ?

Yes, it would be a great idea. Make sure you keep the feeds relevant to your website. Your visitors will appreciate it and the Search Engines will pick it up as content.

Don't let the visitors leave your site though. Make sure you use target="_blank" in your URL linking to the feed website.

RSS feeds are an excellent idea if you have quality content.

Adding RSS feeds to your website also helps in providing fresh and relevant content on their website, which encourages the visitors to return. Changing content will also mean that search engine spiders will visit more frequently.

Yes it should. All you would need is to have PHP installed on your server.

Dheeraj if you want to add an RSS feed to your site, try feeddigest.com it's free with no-forced ads on your site. there's a 2 minute video tutorial on how to install it on your site. it's simple "copy and paste" stuff.
