Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I use a Perl program to scrape my category feeds and save each category as a small html file with  hyperlinked blog post titles.   These small files are then used as server-side includes on lots of category-relevant pages of my site. That way, when I publish a new blog post, the Perl program (which executes hourly as a cron job) automatically publishes the includes.  That gets links into new blog posts from thousands of pages - huge linkjuice hits them immediately. Because we put up several dozen new posts per week, these includes have fresh content cycling through them daily.  It's also a good way to market your content to people reading similar topics on your site.

Thanks Alan. I greatly appreciate the insight.
