I want to create a website that creates pages based on RSS feed. This means that I have an RSS feed generated elsewhere by article writers and once the feed issues a new article, that article is fed to my website CMS which uses a predetermined template to create a NEW web page.

I know a webpage can have dynamic content based on a feed and changes content based on the feed daily. However we want a new page created and then linked to the website sitemap etc.

Please help me guys.

So basically you trying to create a nice big site full of scraped duplicate content?

because.......

a) your interested in adding yet another layer of useless duplicate content since there's not nearly enough out there...

b) it was your bosses idea, and he has no clue about this type of thing...and you want to help him on this useless journey...so that in the end you can point your finger and say "it was his idea"

c) you figure that nobody will catch you stealing their content and have your site shut down...

or

d) you really don't have a clue about the ramifications of what you're attempting to do...and somebody told you that this is the way to the top...

Once these other sites find their content plastered around your site, they are going to contact your hosting company, show them the duplicate content, and your site will be shut down for content theft...it's that simple.

You can't get ahead by stealing, spend that same effort writing useful content and it just might get you somewhere...once the SE's figure out you have duplicate content, their not gonna give you credit for the page(s)anyway.

If you can't create some original content for your site, then perhaps you don't have enough knowledge in your particular area. If you do have the knowledge then it should be simple to create a useful, knowledgeable resource for the users that might visit your site.

(just my 2-cents)
Thanks!

You've got it backward. Feeds are normally made from content generated on the site with most CMS packages. Take a blog CMS for instance. You write an article. The CMS generates a page for that article, and at the same time adds that info to your RSS feed.
