: Will Google crawl a news/RSS aggregator site? I know how to code. I know how to set up a news/RSS aggregator site. But I don't know if Google will crawl it. Will Google crawl such a site?
I know how to code. I know how to set up a news/RSS aggregator site. But I don't know if Google will crawl it. Will Google crawl such a site?
The site will have a listing of all the aggregated news with the title, a short snippet of the news, and an image (not all will have an image) of the original news article.
When a user clicks the article the user will get redirected to the source.
Something like drudgereport. I haven't seen a drudgereport link when I search so I can't tell. (Maybe because it has something to do with my location I don't know.)
Anyway any ideas?

Yes, Google will crawl the page. Unfortunately for most news stories you'll never have a chance of showing up, because the article's you link to will be ranked higher. If you Google "Drudge Report", it should be the first result - So you know it's being crawled and indexed. Even if you Google "CONDOLEEZZA RICE STAKES STAGE AT CONVENTION", you should get a result that is a sub-page on the same domain.
The problem is that the content on the page is so thin, and it's almost all outgoing links. Generally Google doesn't like it when a landing page just directs users to another website, they'd rather send the user directly to that website.
With the snippets that you add, that might make the content a bit thicker, but at the same time it will all be considered duplicate content because the originating sites will have it published first.
