    r u talking about bringing content in or sending your content out?

    if you mean IN, take a look at what we've done. I've been happy with the results.

    DownUnder,

    I thought others might have the same question.. So I'm pasting my PM answer here as well:

    How we beef up light pages with RSS content:

    1) we put a submission form up for people to register their RSS

    2) we call their RSS files once per day and parse it into a database

    3) each night we index the entire rss database into a verity search engine.

    4) when people do searches, or we need content on a page, we call the verity search engine with a keyword or search criteria...

    There you have it... It's done wonders... We catch all sorts of Google traffic... However, the traffic is not targeted - as you would guess... Wouldn't use it for anything magical, but if you need to beef up a light site it's a great way to augment.

    Hope that helps...
