I am just wondering, a few things..

Finding the databases is not a problem. But, how do you combine data bases to make the content unique?

Do you have someone code it for you, or can you use a product like Fourth Worlds Web Merge to make turn the DB’s into html and then combine it that way?

What if I can’t program the dabatbases myself? Is there a service or individual who specializes in combining databases?

Have you ever been banned or had problems with Google, for uploading the many pages that some databases provide?

What is the most amount of pages from a database you have uploaded?

Is database information unique, in that you don’t have to worry about triggering the so called “spam filter” that I have heard about (but don’t know if it exists) when more than 2000 pages at any one time is uploaded to a site?

Have I asked enough questions” (LOL!)..

Thanks for any an all comments..

Thanks for the idea primer. I have been following the Last Minute Auction site. I was thinking of doing something similar but drill it down to a more narrow niche.

Now if only you could somehow combine the data from Amazon with Chitika ads that would be something!

Any ideas?

I know Al has been a man of honour, especially when it comes to web content. There is a rather thin line between plagiarism and generating site contents using feeds.

One has to be really careful when threading on such grounds, as you do certainly do not wished you site to be penalised for duplicated content.

I agree with the comment made above that “… populate your site with a load of pre-written content and you just need a bit of ingenuity to make it unique…” and I think it is an important aspect.

Nice post I’m a big fan of eBay as thats what got me going on the net & I like to mess with code, at present with 40-50 hrs at work each week its not happening though.

I’m just finishing up a project at work where I will be able to seamlessly load our 50,000 products to eBay from our DB if you have been around ebay you will know how difficult this is to do Then I have a project where a friend is building for a anothr friend & myself a site/store that is database driven with a whole bunch of products in PHP.

Between the two i should have the base to hack together some interesting projects soon.
