I would like some feedback from people that use RSS Equilizer. Is it legit, or just a quick way to get your site kicked out of the search engines?
Thanks,
Jason

I have had it for a while, and it is a good program, however, anywhere that I was using it, I have changed over to "Carp". More options/features and available for free, however, ALOT harder to configure/tweak/adjust.
I used RSS Equalizer for a while but I stopped after my host suspended my account because the software was using too much bandwith. I have since switched to RSS Content Builder (http://rsscontentbuilder.com/) which in my opinion is a much better program.

I would love to use this on one of my sites for constant and fresh content but it is really a niche market and I just don't think there's enough info out there to utilize it.
What would you suggest so that I could find out if it's the worth it to add something like that to a website?

EZ RSS is the best program I have found for this. But it is a subscription service.
Have used both this and RSScEqualizer and find EZ RSS more targetted.

This doesn't make sense to me. Accessing a given feed is going to take a certain amount of bandwidth each time it's done, regardless of what program does it. You must have a TON of sites if you hit your bandwidth limit with this.
And you need a better host- they should warn you before you hit the limit, not just suspend the account. Or maybe they are giving you a small limit. 10 GB or more a month is common- hard to imagine using that much just from adding RSS feeds.
I agree that EZRSS is better if you can afford the monthly fee, since it finds the content for you, rather than you having to specify which feeds to use.
There is a FREE version of RSS Reader. try here http://rssfeedreader.com/reader/
