That's much easier than uploading all of the content by hand or importing it and hoping that it works. Can BYG tell the difference?

Hi Ms Claire. Yes, we have a friend that does this, and he had his programmer write him a script for ease of use. We, on the other hand in the past, as well as now, just throw them into an offline aggregator that feeds them online. Meaning, we don't use an online service. We randomize them, so the end user sees them differently for better variety.
In your case study above, I would just simply do a write up just as a post, instead of changing 'everything' as you say. Seems like just as much work. Or, in our case, we use a news scroller to achieve the same result. Like this: First, - Feeds --> Aggregator --> Randomize --> News Scroller.
As I mention, it does not bother the engines because it's distinguishable as an RSS (Atom, XML, etc.), and that's not a scary thing. In your case, why not just accept the feed as is?
You know, like all of us, there are still emails after emails from current sponsors that, to this day, will include accompanying text to their galleries. Pretty odd, given the new best practice principles everyone's roaring about, dont'cha think? The sponsors would have it that affiliates use their included text, which then falls under the HTML of duplicate content. But this was back in the old days, and a no no now.
I think what you are talking about is simply overkill paranoia IMHO. I'd just run with the RSS as-is. No biggy.
However, your idea from above
is the ultimate success to make it truly unique text, I still think it's a bit of laborious work just for such small content needs. Also, when you had said, "
The only link you have pointing back at the affiliate is the actual affiliate code." What you meant to say was, "The only link you have pointing back at the SPONSOR is the actual affiliate code." I'm sure this is what you meant to say.
Either way, it stands as it stands. My examples above for mainstream still apply to adult. RSS feeds are to be differentiated and be treated as apples growing on an orange tree branch. And that's NOT a no no, nor is it a bad thing.
And to answer your question can BYG tell? B&Y can't and
don't care Al Gore Rhythmically speaking. Mr. G-od only differentiates the two as separate entities altogether via the hard code output - i.e., the final resulting source code.
If you need anything, you can email me at iamthecamgirl <at> gmail. I'd be happy to help if I can. I'm sooper busy, but if it's quick, I'll help you out if possible. Skype is ultimately better 4 me. I can also let you know the two surviving RSS sponsors in our quest to find anyone left still willing to get their shit together and provide nice RSS feeds.
