RSS Feeds for Automatic Content

Hello all,

I am somewhat new hear and have a couple of questions about using RSS feeds to generate automatic content. If you could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

1. I see people scrape my content and put it on their site. Typically they monetize their site using adsense. Are these people making any money doing this?

2. How much traffic per site per day should you expect to see doing this?

3. If you were to add a RSS to Blog type script to your WordPress blog, but keep also posting original content, would this be effective?

4. What is the best tool to use to get RSS content for added to a WordPress blog?

Thanks for your help!!

Yes. Adsense doesn't really like it, but it still works.

If you only get 10 visitors per month to that page and you have 1,000 of them, 10,000 visitors a month isn't bad for a spam site like that.

Sure, but since it's a spam site, why waste the effort when it's just as effective to scrape?

Best in what way? Most agree that RSS2Blog is one of the best in terms of quality and effectiveness but if you want to buy it, it's like $250. There are free ones like WP-O-Matic and such that do the job but not as well. Do some research and read reviews from people who aren't affiliates for whatever they're reviewing.
