Seriously, 90% of sponsor feeds are crap and if you plan on setting up a fully automated blog you'll just be one among 1000s who all put up the same shit. As with everything else it's all about getting qualified traffic.

I've been dabbling with blogs for a couple of years now. I'm not making a lot of money off of them and traffic is down, so take my advice for what it's worth.
Yes, Lemmy you are right. You, Walrus and T Pat all helped me get hooked up with BA a while back. I've only got one blog for now, but couldn't imagine managing the feeds without it. I tried some of the free plugs with WP for rss...the ones I tried were seriously fucked up, or very limited. BA is one of the more useful things I've spent money on. I also just got Link Organizer up and running, it to is an amazing script.

I too am dissapointed in sponsor feeds. A picture and a text link...wtf?? I try to hand post a few entries, wish I had time to do it all by hand.
