Yes, because if you set it up properly with thousands of feeds, one site will chew up and spit out a shared host. If you're having a hard time with the cycle site idea, I suggest moving to something else. Seriously, a cycle site like Eli talks about takes a little bit of work and is a little more advanced than just setting up a blog and typing in content.

If you just want to test out autoblogs, then use that same script, but stick with 10 or so good RSS feeds. These are harder to find because you want feeds that provide the full articles, not just a short snippet.

Welcome Davr3 and psychoul!

Davr3: If you want to learn SEO to drive organic (aka free search engine) traffic to your site, there are some good threads here for that, and also a shit ton of blogs / sites dedicated to SEO around the internet. Just spend some time reading and learning. If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up. If you need a SEO........

Psychoul: You're right, there is probably a ton of competition for a lot of those keywords. Usually what I do is test the waters by bidding an amount I am comfortable with and not worrying too much about my placement. Also, you have to look for related keywords that others forgot about or missed. Here's a good example: "compare prices" gets a lot of searches according to WordTracker, yet there aren't that many people competing for it. Only about a page and a half of sponsored listings. Not bad. The downside to that query is it isn't targetted at all.

Targetting the singers or bands - not a bad idea, and one I plan on using myself. Take Jennifer Lopez for example, she is currently touring with Marc Anthony, but if you search "jennifer lopez" there are only 3 advertisers. Should be able to get in on that action pretty cheap. Still not very targetted, but if testing shows that the conversions are there, then it's all good. If it turns out that nothing converts, then it's wasted money. Only time and testing will tell.
