More retooling
Maybe I misunderstood something. I’ve gone back through the blackhole seo stuff (below) and I think I’m getting a better idea for it. I’m using my 1and1 account, which is a throwaway account, for this creation.
- Find this post: Follow Up to Automated Links
- Instead of using the weblogs.com shortChanges.xml file, I’m trying a search on a blog aggregator ( uh, like google blog search, but that’s not the one I’m using ) in order to get the titles.
- Apparently titles are not copyrighted but the post bodies are. How convenient.
- Taking those, inserting the titles and the keywords I used to generate the list into a database table (titles; basically one column for id, one column for title, one column for keywords). This script is running about every half hour and is getting one or two new titles an hour. I guess it’s a small niche.
- I wrote a new rss output file that takes those titles and makes an rss feed that has just the followed by the ( my site ) followed by the description. It’s kind of half-assed at the moment, really ugly.
- When that rss output file is run it pings pingomatic.com with the file info.
Don’t know how well it’ll do but we’ll see.

Tried writing ad copy for a page here that would push some ebook thing but got discouraged because why would I encourage you to read ebooks when I don’t spend my hard earned money on them. Maybe someday when I’m rich.
