I've a question for you techies about blog traffic in general.

Tim - you are in a good position to address this ... as you said "blogs work because of ever increasing content and links."

We could choose any subject, but real estate has been mentioned so we will go with that. We could narrow our focus to real estate in a given state or city, but for our purposes ... lets just go with real estate in general.

So lets say on our real estate blog we set up a news feed from ... lets say Yahoo News ... and lets say we fetch all news articles that mention the keyword string "real estate".

Furthermore, lets say we have our blog set to make a separate new page for each article that comes from the feed for the term "real estate" ... and since it's all on auto-pilot we will be building lots of content related to the subject.

Now for the question ???

Will all these pages created, likely be spidered and thereby cause traffic to come to the site in significant amounts ??? Is this approach lame ... are there obvious flaws that I am overlooking?

Thanks for all comments. I'm rather lame on the tech side of the biz and wanted to get some opinions from knowledgeable folks.

This is my first post here, I've known about this place for some time. I failed to get a answer at my regular hangout so I thought to look here. From my first glance there is some might fine technical expertise represented here.

Thanks for your insight : )
