    Hello. I have a wordpress blog. Is there software where I can enter in a keyword (such as "xbox mods") and then the software will pull posts from other big name blogs and put it on my blog automatically for me?

    Thanks.

    Well, I personally never heard of such a plugin but first thing I would consider - legality of what you are planning to do. What you mention is called "blog scraping" unless owner permits it. RSS feeds generally provided for readers not other blogs to pull content. You have to be very carefully even if you do find this plugin to avoid legal actions ...

    I seen em - my personal take, they only get permissions because their blog is highly ranked by Google and gets visits. If you manage to get permissions for bloggers - you can import RSS via "SmartRSS" plugin. It allows import into specific categories.

    I do know that I wouldn't allow my blog content to be imported elsewhere, and couple times I found someone do it - I shut them down via all means available. Just want to be sure you are aware of possible problems ...

    many other plugins are there but if u do without permission then u would be treated as a sploggers spam blogger and it'll affect reputation...

    This has been covered many times, just search for autoblog and so on.
    But at the end of the day you won't get much traffic from search engines.

    Apart for some very rare cases those kind of blog perform very poorly.
