How to use merge tags for blog posting?

I'm not quite sure how to ask the question so I'll just dive in. I'm working on a project to provide PLR type material - articles and comments - for blogs in professional niches such as personal injury lawyers. As an add on service, I would like the ability to actually post the articles/comments for the customer on their blog if desired. Similar articles will be spun and sent to a fairly small number of customers - maybe 50 -100. However, I need to be able to use some type of merge tags which will insert geographic words - such as Seattle lawyer or Houston attorney - in the article being posted. So the articles may be similar, but the geographic descriptions will be different. Is that type of technology available or is it something that would require special programming?

Any thoughts, directions or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks - Bob M

  • This can easily be done in a Web scripting language such as PHP. You can pass the dynamic text that you want displayed on your Web page via request parameters (e.g. location=Seattle&category=Lawyer) and then retrieve/parse it in your script to get the desired result. The exact answer to your question really depends on the platform/language you use.
  • You can use an article spinner, if you search for Magic Article Spinner, that might do the job for you.

    • Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question and offer the suggestions. I would like to pursue this a little more to make sure I understand. Suppose I have one article which I want to remotely post on 50 different blogs (I would have permission and the required info to post on each of the 50 blogs) but I would like to localize each blog article posting by inserting the name of the local city in the article. Are you saying I can do remote posting to these blogs and change the name of the city so that each one of the 50 blogs will receive a slightly different version of the article (with the change in the city name) by using either spinning software or through special coding? Which approach would likely be the easiest to implement?

      Thanks again.
