    Question Does duplicate content on your forum hurt rank?

    I have a forum just for news related to my niche that I use to pull in RSS feeds.

    Does having a forum with news feeds and links hurt ranking at all?

    Google has gotten smarter about duplicate content in recent months, but it's still not a positive thing.

    It your members enjoy it, by all means keep it. But, I would suggest making those RSS-fed forums for members only.
