Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'd personally be worried about this. I'd do this: Publish a few articles just on your site Note how long it takes Google to find them If this is a long time (ie more than 24 hours), maybe do a few social bookmarks - drop the link on Stumbleupon, Twitter, Facebook etc when you publish them. If using wordpress, you can get it to do this automatically. Now see what the time is for Google to index your pages Set up your RSS feed so it updates 24 hours or 48 hours after your site content is added, whatever it takes to get the post indexed on your site before their site. You could even control this individual feed's delay using http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/1397/delaying-one-rss-feed-in-wordpress-but-not-the-others This way, you haven't got to get them to do anything at their end
