Using Feeds as Content
Most of the sites I see use either results from the serps or a generic technology feed which doesn't match their theme for some additional content. While this is a good start if you're including rss feeds on your sites as an additional source of content, I find it's worth spending an extra 10 minutes or so to gather some feeds that are more relevant to the keywords you are targetting.
There are many sources for feeds out there, and depending on the niche you are targeting, some are better than others.
For example if I'm creating a niche site on a product (i.e. iPod's) I might include feeds from Yahoo Finance, CNet Reviews and various news sites and product sites like Nextag and Alibaba.
Non-product based niches like hobbies (i.e. Scrapbooking) are sometimes a little trickier to find depending on their popularity. Usually about.com has a good feed or two and then a Google search for "keyword rss" will find the popular sites for your niche, some of which will provide feeds.
Here are some other sites to find rss feeds:
Generally the more pages I'm creating the more feeds I will use. Also I recommend the caching of feeds (I use a week or so) to reduce the load on the feed providers.
