To automate... or not to automate

RoarIdeas · 09-25-2009, 12:57 PM

Hello fellow warriors,
I have a mini dilemma on my hands. I've spent several days preparing some blogs that I am fairly certain will soon be quite high in the SERPs for their respective terms (once I get some proper content up).

To stay there I will have to regularly update the site but as there is quite a few of them I've set them up to automatically pull from RSS feeds. Could this possible punish my search engine rankings ? Is it worth the time investment to create unique content?

I was perhaps thinking of combining both methods what do you think of this?

I have tons of autoblogs...and a few unique ones with unique content.

The unique blogs *kill* all the autoblogs in traffic. And the traffic is steady going for 2+ years. All the autoblogs have suffered in that same time span.

I say "unique content" all the way. Your time will be well rewarded with $$.
