My source links are something linke this :
http://sample.com/entertainment/default.aspx?tabid=2305&conid=102950
http://sample.com/entertainment/default.aspx?tabid=2418&conid=104330
http://sample.com/entertainment/default.aspx?tabid=2429&conid=104264
http://sample.com/entertainment/default.aspx?tabid=2305&conid=102949
.
.
.
I cache content form links.I use wp_insert_post to post cached content from source site to wordpress:
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => "$title",
'post_content' => "$content",
'post_status' => 'draft',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_category' => array(1),
);
wp_insert_post( $my_post );
I want to put each link in custom fields and in the next cache , before post to WP , check new links with links in custom fields. If link is repeated , prevent insert content.
Sorry for my bad description.

To save the link in the post meta you can use update_post_meta
like this for example:
$url = "http://sample.com/entertainment/default.aspx?tabid=2305&conid=102950"
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => "$title",
'post_content' => "$content",
'post_status' => 'draft',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_category' => array(1),
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $my_post );
update_post_meta($post_id,'source_link',$url);
and to prevent the insertion add a simple conditional check:
$args = array("meta_key" => "source_link", "meta_value" =>$url);
$posts = get_posts($args);
if (count($posts) < 0){
//add new post
}
if (count($posts) < 0){
//add new post
}
is not working, change it to
if (empty($posts)){
//add new post
}
