dude! Your rss feeds crashed my server.
Any good developer worth his pay knows seo is the key to getting traffic. And that content is king. What they seem to forgetting these days are a few other basic rules.
Unique content is king
Customer called one day to complain that somone had copied their entire blog on another domain. What surprises me is that it was done so easily. I called the guy who copied the content nd he said he was running a beta program and just picked a domain at random about his favorite topic. This program went and grabbed all the posts from the domain. You should ask when reposting someones content. Google is looking for unique content.
When posting something someone else wrote always provide a link to the original content. We write articles for lots of reasons ;-p
Copy write infringement is not the best form of flattery. First off when you are adding images to your website do you really need the original 1024×768 screen shot you took ? Use an imaging program to resize your images. This will save your viewers frustration at looking at an image take a few minutes to load even on high speed internet. Get permission to use the images on your site. Someone has to get paid for taking the photos you are using. There are very hefty fines with using content that is not yours.
Oh yeah about that TPS report. Rss feeds and 10 million ways to track traffic and clicks can kill your shared hosting account. Most hosting companies give you about 10% cpu usage max. If reach this level of resources they ask you to upgrade to an account with more resources, which is only fair.
The problem with RSS feeds is a two edged blade. Viewing rss feeds work great when the data comes from a site on the same server or local database but works terrible when your getting data from multiple websites and this data is refreshed with every page view. each feed request will slow down your site and cause your page load times to be higher. There are tools like feedburner and feedrinse that fetch this data periodically for you. You ask one source for the information.
