How can I make the best use of sponsor RSS

[NY Jester]

Very NewB question here...is it possible to have a "set and forget" type of feed in place as well as hand submit a couple times a week along with it?

Sure would be better, maybe make the difference. But wouldn't you still have sponsor posts that are duplicates? Seems Walrus has better ideas.

The set it and forget it idea would have worked a couple years back when there were directories where rank was determined by newest posts. Some folks took advantage.

Theoretically, yes. No matter what aggregator you used you could have it posting with every feed update and then manually go in and add a post when you were in a creative mood.

Correct, you still would have a bunch of posts that were duplicates mixed in with a few original posts. I never believed that the duplicate content penalty was really a big deal. It just meant that after the big G found X number of duplicates it would move the rest into supplimental. But since G no longer has a supplimental, I would assume the most trusted sites (the X number) would be ok and all the others would head somewhere near the 1000 page or so.

Since I haven't tested my ideas yet, I couldn't tell you if they were a |goodidea or if people would at them. Perhaps more details will be forthcoming once I get a little further along the development curve but I will say, if I'm wrong I will have wasted a whole lot of time.
