Will google index RSS content ??

There are quite a lot of RSS content available from blogs, news etc... If I put the rss content on my website, will google index it.

Any ideas?

You mean if you are using RSS bot to add news etc to your site? Why not. Lots of forums are doing it, I'm not quite sure if duplicated content applies to it.

Yes, I mean RSS bot. I have seen a few sites indexed heavily and most of the pages consist of RSS.

Well google will indeed index it, unless you disallow him to do it. I'm afraid of duplicated content, it will be too damn easy to have your site updated with fresh unique content by a bot right? Maybe you should make that for your visitors only, I mean.. the bot pages will be not indexable, and will contribute to your visitors only, to make them more happy. Happy visitors = happy google. At least thats my vision of things.
