You might ask, well why would I want to provide free content to another website? Well, no matter what the page rank of that site (and assuming you put a few interlinked) inbound links to your blog from other site is a MUST. As long as due credit, and all the links in feed are left alone you as a blogger can only benefit. The higher your inbound links, the higher your page rank across the board, and the higher your traffic volume will become. Higher Traffic = Higher Revenue my $0.02 RSS feeds are not only picked up by individuals, they are also picked up by other websites and aggregated with others.

I found it annoying so I only display partial feeds now. I don’t purely for the reason that when I did, I was finding my posts turning up on countless ’splogs’.

This had never been an issue until recently when a new news aggragator site for my topic was launched. Has caused quite a stir and promoted many comments.

It bothers me to see only partial articles in my feed reader. I am also bothered by seeing only partial posts on the homepage of a blog. I like to be able to read the article in its entirety without having to open additional page and then go back to the homepage to read a second article.

I like to follow blogs and I just visit them if i want to comment. You need to make money using your blog sure, but not at the cost of user experience and value.

I run my blog with the full rss feed as well. I think it makes it easier to read all of your feeds from one location then if you like the article you open it from the reader to make comments or look at the page either way. If you are offering quality content you will get readers visiting your site because they want to give input or see what articles you have done. Bud I agree that you should run a full rss feed.

You must have been to the Bloggeries and read my thread about the full or short RSS feeds. On my site I have been using short to entice people to actually come to my blog. I have read quite a few posts and comments that people prefer full posts. I think your idea to interlink your posts is a fantastic idea. My other thought on this situation is to write posts in such a way that encourages people to come to the site and make comments, or add addons such as "link luv" or an addon that removes the "nofollow" tag from the comments.
