SEO issues around post syndication via RSS

[skipshean]

There are a number of clients that I have that want to syndicate either posts or video content to other websites via RSS feeds.  Each of these are built on a WordPress platform, fyi.  Two that this applies to are:

http://explosiveoptions.net

and

http://mrtopstep.com

Many of the sites that would pick this content up would be higher Domain and Page Ranks than the original sites.  Those that have video content put it up on multiple sites, including YouTube.

What can I do in the configuration of the RSS feeds to ensure the credit is maintained to the original website, and are there any other considerations I should be concerned about?

Perhaps things that I would ask the other site to do in their incorporation of it to their site?

Thanks for your help.

If you have accesses to the other websites's webmaster you can simply ask them to use the rel= canonical tag in all syndicated content. This tag will tell the search engines who the author is, and you'll be fine.

Thanks. Is there any way to set up the RSS feed so it contains the canonical?
