Yahoo News Feed

[DeedGrabber]

As part of my site I'd like to repost relevant Yahoo News stories related to my keyword.

I have a plugin that will automatically retrieve them each day and put them into draft status so I can make sure they're relevant before publishing them.

I plan to make this a separate section and give the appropriate credit to Yahoo News.  I'm not necessarily doing this to GAIN SEO rankings but if that came of it, that would be a bonus.

Question - would I be HURTING myself by doing this?

As long as this is only part of your site you will not be hurting yourself.  While it may help a small bit for SEO purposes, I can see that the crawl rate may significantly increase, as well as the indexing rate of new material that is posted.

I would just make sure that I have enough original, unique material that the yahoo feed doesn't overwhelm your site.
