Doing a search on here, I noticed several threads of people having issues using BA with morphing feeds. It seems BA uses titles to check for uniqueness, and if the post title morphs on each pull, you will get the same morphed post appearing over and over on your blog.

One solution seems to be to only use morphing feeds which don't morph titles. But when it comes to SEO, titles are important, so it makes sense that they should be morphed. If the purpose is morphed feeds, then you probably don't want duplicate post titles on every blog post.

Sponsors such as Niche Castle, Groobybucks, etc, are using www(.)morphfeeds(.)com for their feeds. These feeds are currently morphing the titles on each pull. So basically, it seems that BA will unfortunately be useless for any feeds from there. I wonder if there can be a solution to this problem, as morphing feeds are becoming more common these days.

----FeedWordPress----

I tried a morphing feed from Groobybucks using FeedWordpress, and surprisingly, it does not keep adding the same morphed posts over and over like BA does. I'm not sure what FeedWordpress is checking...maybe it checks the date <pubDate> instead of the title?

Would it be possible in a future update of BA to add some kind of check box option where we could choose what BA looks for in the feed to find unique posts: <title>, <link>, <pubDate>, etc? Not sure if that would help the problem, but it's just an idea.

yes, thats exactly what i am thinking to make - to be able to tell BA what field to use as unique, but i am still considering what would be best way to approach that idea, so it won't have problems, would be no confusing to the end user and easy at once.

Awesome, I think with control like that, it would really take BA into a new dimension! I can't think of any other scripts/plugins which allow for such a functionality. Anyway, love your work man. Very Happy
