Does anyone know how to create a .PHP script that shows news feeds from other news sites that'll get you more traffic from search engines, something similar to RSS content builder?
You could do some data scraping with cURL http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php If you're looking to hire someone to do it feel free to drop me a PM.
That's called 'duplicate content' and instead of getting you traffic, it's more likely to get you slapped down for, well... RIPPING OFF OTHER PEOPLE's CONTENT. Unique original content of your own is how to rank well and have healthy traffic, NOT goofy scripting tricks and black hat SEO hoodoo-voodoo.
Why not use wordpress? you can download custom php scripts and have no worries anymore.. Wordpress rulez!!
If you can get an RSS feed from those sites then there are scripts galore to do it - everything from standalone scripts with the RSS feeds hardcoded in through to plugins for WordPress, Joomla et al You have to decide if you need it integrated with your current site. But @deathshadow raises the relevant point - If your real need is to build traffic and get a better position in the SERPs then regurgitating other people's news isn't the way to do it.
thanks for the input everyone. That's what I kind of thought when I used RSS content builder on a former domain name back in 2007. Back then, I knew nothing about creating unique content and I used RSS auto blogging tools and RSS content builder. Not knowing what I was doing, the former domain name got delisted from Google search results and I was never able to get that domain relisted back in Google. I never knew as a concrete fact that RSS content builder may possibly be black hat search engine SEO software. This is why I created this thread in asking the question so that someone would clarify that for me like everyone here did. my guess is that if you use RSS content builder to republish your feeds from content you produced on article directories and press release sites, that would pretty much be okay? Anyone who knows about this please feel free to share your additional feedback. Thank you all again so much for responding
As long as you don't spit out a verbatim copy of another RSS-feed, then you'll be fine. Ie, if you aggregate news stories, for instance, and create a total based on those, and then publish it, that will be fine. Same for having RSS feeds running in your sidebar or ticker or something like that (just headers, for instance) - that isn't bad. The problem arises when you're republishing content from well-known sources, with high rankings on Google - if you do that, you will end up being either shunned or kicked out (albeit being kicked out takes a bit of effort). Content that you yourself produces, is key - and getting people to link to your content is the second step. What you do want is proper links from proper, legitimate pages - even trackbacks (if you link to original sources and such) helps.
