RSS Feed - Dupe Content?
-
OK so yesterday a website agreed to publish my RSS feed and I just wanted to check something.
The site in question is far more established than mine and I am worrying that with my content appearing on their website pretty much at the same time as mine, will Google index theirs first and therefore consider mine to be dupe?
They are linking back to each of my articles with the text "original post" and I'm not sure whether this will help.
Thanks in advance for any responses!

I'd personally be worried about this. I'd do this:
- Publish a few articles just on your site
- Note how long it takes Google to find them
- If this is a long time (ie more than 24 hours), maybe do a few social bookmarks - drop the link on Stumbleupon, Twitter, Facebook etc when you publish them. If using wordpress, you can get it to do this automatically.
- Now see what the time is for Google to index your pages
- Set up your RSS feed so it updates 24 hours or 48 hours after your site content is added, whatever it takes to get the post indexed on your site before their site.
- You could even control this individual feed's delay using http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/1397/delaying-one-rss-feed-in-wordpress-but-not-the-others
- This way, you haven't got to get them to do anything at their end

Personally I don’t think so… but I guess to be on the safe side you can always ask him to add a canonical tag on your RSS feed and the issue will be resolved forever… btw I have seen many websites which copy others content and this thing usually don’t arises…
In my opinion Google is good at picking up this issue.

Yes, you are courting controversy here. There is no need to feature the same content in other external website. If you can manage to convince the website owners to place a rel syndicate tag on every article that gets published there [pointing to the original article], you would not have to fear anything.

404 or 503 Malware Content ?
Hi Folks When it comes to malware , if I have a site that uses iframe to show content off 3rd party sites which at times gets infected. Would you recommend 404 or 503 ing those pages with the iframe till the issue is resolved ? ( I am inclined to use 503 .. ) Then take the 404/503 off and ask for a reindex ( from GWT malware section ) OR Ask for a reindex as soon as the 404/503 goes up. ( I do understand we are asking to index as non existing page , but the malware warning gets removed ) PS : it makes sense for this business to showcase content using iframe on these special pages . I do understand these are not the best way to go about SEO.

Duplicate Content based on www.www
In trying to knock down the most common errors on our site, we've noticed we do have an issue with dupicate content; however, most of the duplicate content errors are due to our site being indexed with www.www and not just www. I am perplexed as to how this is happening. Searching through IIS, I see nothing that would be causing this, and we have no hostname records setup that are www.www. Does anyone know of any other things that may cause this and how we can go about remedying it?
