If you are using the Autoblogger script that Eli provided in his SEO Empire post, you don't need to set up a cron for it. Everytime someone visits your site it automatically updates. So, no cron jobs to worry about
YAY! (I hate crons, can't figure the damn things out)
Anyhow, as for your second post, not sure about WP-Omatic. Never used it. Concerning the RSS feed, depends on where you got it from, if it's a G**gle feed, then you can pull as many as 100 results per feed. Otherwise, it may be impossible to edit. Just find more feeds that are related if you need to.
Here's my latest site, and it's not a blog:
Ticket Depot
The template is from OSWD.org, the results are courtesy of eBay's API and the affiliate program is CJ.com. Now, I know a lot of people are kind of anti-CJ, but I've never really used them so I can't comment on whether they are good or not. Unfortunately, they are the only one that has eBay and works with their API's and RSS feeds.
Yes, you can get RSS feeds from eBay with your affiliate information coded into them. So for all the blogs out there looking for feeds, there's another option.
Anyhow, back to TicketDepot.org, I built this so that I could use it for PPC primarily. I'll do a little SEO for it, but it's going to be mostly a "PPC site". So, one of the nifty things with this site is you can enter:
Code:
http://www.ticketdepot.org/?id=whatever you want here
and it will pull whatever is after the equal sign and populate various places on the page with that. So, put in anything you want after the '=' and look at the title, the query, then look at the source code and you'll see it also puts the query string in the meta's.
The article is static at the moment, but I'm going to update it (eventually) to be pulled dynamically from a MySQL database, based on the URL's query string.
Why would you want to do this? Well, if you are running PPC, especially on Adwords, you want the page to be as targetted as possible for their Quality Score. The more targetted, the higher the QS, the lower your bids could be.
So, how long did this take? I think about 5 hours total. 3 or 4 last night and about an hour today. I'm not as quick about the database stuff (queries and shit) so that will probably take another 3 or 4 hours. Ergh...
Regardless, if I put a more generic article up and insert the URL query string into that, then I can avoid the DB setup for a little while. Yay!
