 * I’d like to have fresh content delivered to the website. Preferably technology.
   Plugin/widget other? TIA! -JS

 * So write fresh content. Don’t grab it form somewhere else. Unless you’re a recognised
   news site it won’t do your site any favours.

 * Thankx for the reply. Just looking for other content out of the box, preferably
   technology.

 * What do you mean by “content out of the box”? From where?

 * I’m guessing you mean some type of content syndication? If so, there are many
   sources for that. Some free, some not. I don’t know of a plugin that grabs that
   type of content for you.

 * [@gabe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabe/) – got an example of syndicated
   content? TIA!

 * In a lot of cases syndicated content is not the good boost that it’s meant to
   be.
 * One of my clients has done this on a site, and used syndicated content from three
   different sources so that they could create “an automated money-making site”.
   Basically they wanted a whole lot of content to draw in search terms and then
   sell ads on the pages. So far since January 1 this year they have had a total
   of 21 hits (that’s right, 21 total) and have had 6 referrals from search engines.
   This is despite the site being live for around 2 years so far, having over 44,000
   posts and the site being in a very popular genre. To this date they’ve currently
   made a total of $0.00.
 * Syndicated content just doesn’t work. It doesn’t boost your site in the search
   engine rankings and it doesn’t help you to get more visitors. It just makes your
   site look like it’s copying all of the other sites out there.
 * If you want real content that will draw real visitors, either write your own 
   unique content or pay someone else to write it for you. That’s how it’s done.
   There are no shortcuts to this.

 * [@drdell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drdell/), there are many options
   for syndicated content. Just do your own Google search.
 * I agree with catacaustic that it’s generally not an effective way to gain traction.

 * Catacaustic couldn’t have said things any better! If you want people to visit
   your site, you have to write your own content. Simply leeching it from another
   site can be bad for your sites growth ( and illegal in some circumstances ), 
   who wants to re-read the same story the same way.
    Write it yourself and put 
   your own spin on it.
 * I may be wrong here, and not to be a jerk, but knowing just a tad about coding,
   what you’re asking for would be a huge script to write, and would literally have
   to steal information from other web sites.

 * I agree with catacaustic as well. My project is IT and technology solutions and
   support. I was looking for enrichment. Let’s say a page with a CNN technology
   feed for example. Just common interests. I’m not after more visitors, plagiarizing,
   or stealing. Just idle reading with common interest.
