Yes and no. It depends upon the quality of the feed, and what rankings you are talking about. Tot ake a step back, Trusted Feed offers several benefits:
1. Modify inflexible content without changing pages (add titles, descriptions etc).
2. Add time sensitive content on a 48 hourly basis (such as job listings etc)
3. Increase the breadth of terms found for, by getting more pages indexed more often.
4. Greater control over what you have indexed.

None of that is really a ranking boost, so much as additional bonus rankings, i.e. you get more traffic from searches you may have missed, due to the fact that you couldn't previously get the content indexed (think news sites, job sites, real estate listings etc).

You may, I repeat MAY get a ranking boost on less specific phrases, but that really isn't Trusted Feed's role.

Hope that helps.

ok, what i want to get at, is what part of the trusted feed is the most important to get higher rankings, eg title keyword body text and what kind of content would be put in the body text from a feed if the site was mostly images.

cheers

>eg title keyword body text..

All of them. Think of a feed as a page alternative. The more content you have on a page and the better it is laid out - the better it will work with a search engine. Same with feed content. The more you have the better it will work.

As for body content - if the page has images, write a description of the images.
