Adding External Blog Feed

[John_Ellis]

I have a client who's a member of the Loopnet.com community. They have a place on their profile to add an external blog feed. Our question is does adding the RSS feed from an external blog have any SEO value or do we run into issues with duplicate content with the same blog posts published on two different websites?

I took a look at the Loopnet.com community profile pages, and more specifically, at their blog pages. It looks as if it just pulls in the title and a a short excerpt from the feed and links out to the original site page where the content originated. So to answer your questions, no you should have no problems with duplicate content. Also, it may be helpful for your client's site because the links appear to not be nofollow and should pass link juice.
