RSS Feeds, Are they Beneficial

This is a discussion on RSS Feeds, Are they Beneficial within the General Discussion forums, part of the vBSEO SEO Plugin category; I'm wondering what the overall consensus is when activating RSS XML syndication for your vbulletin 4?...

    Yes they are. They allow users to consume the content they are most interested about (think specific sub-forums) via RSS readers. You may select to include part of the threads as opposed to the full content to get users to visit your forums when they want to read the full version.

    Do they help with SEO and increase indexing in any way?
    Do they increase the chance or opportunity for negative rss harvesting from the google adsense crowds building websites off of our feeds?
