Rss2Content allows you to automatically collect RSS feed content items and have each item inserted as an Joomla article in the section and category you define. The content of the article will vary based on the specific feed you select.
Key Rss2Content benefits:
Increase website traffic on your website
Website content plays a very important role in keeping visitors on a web site. Regularly updating or modifying your Website's content gives you an edge over the competition. Rss2Content will bring you fresh content which will help you increase website traffic.
Increase revenue with advertising programs
Rss2Content has ability to implement advertising code under the each item that collects from entered Rss Feed/s.

I saw & tried almost every available plugin for Joomla on this subject.
All I can tell you this one is not only the BEST one, but support is amazing - those guys just wait for you to submit an issue to help you as fast & efficient they can.
I was really happy to see that they solve every issue that i have with their product...
I'm already one day customer, but they treat me like i'm their customer all product life...
And one thing, guys keep doing good work, and i can't wait for version 2 of your product, you still have a lot of things to do to make this BEST product on the RSS market even better...
And if you continue like that, others will always look at your back - and try to make their product to look like yours...

I had unfortunately bought two of the other big RSS extensions before finding this one, and I was on the search because of a significant feature that wasn't mentioned on the other softwares' pages--the ability to truncate feeds. I wanted to have headlines and a few opening words from articles, but I had ethical qualms with posting other sites' entire feeds on my own.
RSS2Content gives you much more control over the look and content. You can choose how much of each element you want to add, and it has the added feature (lacking in the other extensions at this time of writing) of giving you control over the image sizes from the feeds. That was a big issue because overnight a feed would come down with giant pictures that ruined the layout of the website. R2C took care of that so that I didn't have to do so much babysitting on the incoming feed traffic.
I should also note that the programmers are a passionate scrappy bunch, in that they are constantly developing and improving the code based on customer feedback, and they are prompt and professional in their support. Neshko spent a few days on my server personally troubleshooting and fixing a minor issue I had with my version.
Installation was also easy.

RSS2Content is a very good component. It has a lot of features, that really make content from feeds stand out. The people are very helpful as well. The get back to me in a reasonable time frame. If you have a customization request they will try to do their best to accommodate your needs. This is my experience with them and I am glad I took the chance on them.

I even had request for small changes to the component, and stuff responded fast and delivered my custom version without extra fee.
Download images work fantastic with auto scale image to desired dimension....implementation of rokslideshow is outstanding.
I use this component on my 5 aggregator plus 3 informational sites and, now i cant imagine my online business without rss2content.
Great value for money. Saves you a lot of time. Works fantastic with sh404SEF.
I would certainly recommend this component to every Joomla user.
Outstanding work!

I have to say that this script is amazing... I just wish that I could find quality RSS feeds to do this program any justice.
Support is really great and fast... Also if you need little tweaks done to the program they will do it for you.
