WP Mage Review Thread

RobWake · 11-18-2009, 02:39 PM

I was just wondering if anyone could help with an answer here...

I live in Africa, I have bought the GSniper and am working on my first site, I heard about WP Mage and have been following this thread and see it has come up a couple times about the dup Content... My question is, would duplicate content still hurt my ranking if I use e.g USA content on a local site? Would google treat it same or different.

ALso my feeling about using WPMAGE in my local market is more about Adsense etc as people do not tend to whip out the cc to often here .... I hope it will justify the cost over time which I think it will as there is no problem finding keywords with 20,000 searches and less than 10,000 competing local pages... Has anyone had good Adsense success with this system?

Thanks in advance for your comments

AmyKay · 11-18-2009, 03:10 PM

I having the best success with Adsense I've ever had. In fact, my future Mage sites will be all adsense for a while, not ebay.

I'm unsure of your other question. You get paid when people click on your adsense ads, they don't have to whip out their credit card at all.

Mages dont think duplicate content is an issue. First, the title is different. It will be the keyword. Secondly, we all set up our post layouts with different combinations of translation, content sources, ads, and the order in which they all appear.

The free trial is for the Adept Mage membership. That will later cost $27/month after your trial. The full Master is the package with downloads to create sites with.

@ AmyKay, Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated...WRT Adsense part of the post, I was just saying that I will use WP Mage for adsense and not anything else because people over here still do not buy online much.

I actually tried to PM you after making the post but it wont allow it to go through as I have not posted 50 times??...could you pm me an email address to reach you - please

cbsale · 11-18-2009, 04:22 PM

Hey Amy,
I was thinking that too, just afraid my adsense account will get canceled.
I've heard it's against there TOS to put adsense on duplicate content sites don't know if I should worry about it or not.

Hey Mike

I'm a reader of your blog, and always enjoy the depth to which you review products.

Withought taking anything away from Greg's program, can you give me a quick comparison of the WP Mage program vs Firepow or Firepow combined with WP Robot?

I have looked at WP Mage and it looks superb. I am a little shy of the $997.
I joined the Adept program, but am really interested in a cost comparison.

Thanks so much for your input.

trishworks4u · 11-18-2009, 07:09 PM

Great reading in this thread and thought I'd chime in. I've been having a blast with the wp mage system and agree with several of the most recent comments here, particularly Mike's.

I have no idea whether or not you would have success by just throwing up a ton of sites per day but that's certainly not the way I've been going about it. I have a goal of getting at least one site up per day because there are other things that I do: niche research, keyword research, buy domains, waste too much time on forums....

I also spend more time on the front page design of the blog, put a pic and bio on there and do a few other things that are on my "checklist". It is a great system and the "Mage" community is really great too. I honestly have to say that this is the first "big" IM purchase that I've made where I haven't had that nagging feeling in my stomach (kind of like indigestion) shortly after.

Are there negatives? yep - I think it's slightly complicated but the forums are fantastic and "complicated" in and of itself isn't a bad thing - to me it means that there are so many possibilities that it's going to take me a long time to unlock them all. Frankly, I never thought that wordpress was simple in the first place...

Harbourmaster · 11-18-2009, 08:10 PM

AFAIK the main difference between the "Adept" Mage and the full CPMage is that with Adept you have to do all of the site building by hand and with CP it automates everything as far as constructing the actual site. Greg actually encourages everyone to learn how to build the sites manually first in order to become more familiar with the entire system. Since I do not have an extra grand laying around at the moment I will continue to build my sites manually. Even if I had the money I think I would stick to doing them this way as I like to have more control over the finished site.

AmyKay · 11-18-2009, 08:30 PM

I don't think it's against their TOS to put adsense on a site that has content that is also elsewhere on the internet, thus, "duplicate content." If that were the case, the ramifications would be huge for many big well-known authority sites.

Wrong. I am a long time auto blogger. I have tons of auto blogs. I have some that make me $10 per month and I have some that make me around $3000 per month.

Ussually, the blogs that I hurredly threw up are the ones that don't make me a lot of money. The exception to this is from my Adsense sites mostly, but those are always a shot in the dark.

The sites that make me money are the ones that have a good theme. Look professional. And you can't tell they are auto blogs.

Yes, I am a WP Mage Member and I highly recommend it because it automates a lot of tasks and more importantly, it combines content for each Post to make it a unique posting in its own right, and then you can make it somewhat more unique by changing the language of the text back and forth between english another language and then back to english again.

Creating a strategy which allows you to create a themed site with focus will result in more Affiliate Commissions. All you have to say to yourself is: Would I click on this?

I have actually incorporated phpBay and phpZon into my WP Mage sites because they produce better looking listings and they are 100% SEO Friendly. You have to spend money to make money.

I probably make more from 10 of my sites than most of the Mage Members who have 50 sites, strictly because I plan and implement a site strategy, a linking strategy, and a stats, evaluation, and tracking strategy.

If you don't know what is working, how can you duplicate it?

The thing I hate to see the most is people devaluing quality domains by slapping up crap sites fast with zero thought process. Think it through and yes, create 100 sites, but do it right and you will triple what you would have made otherwise.

Just my 2 cents.

Mike

Great Comment Mike,

I've been building autoblogs for the past year(104 as I'm writing). Well really semi auto blogs because I believe you have to provide some form of unique content to you site to make it look legit. Basically, the internet community is now so sophisticated they can see a bullS&!# blog or site coming a mile away. They may not know it's an autoblog, but they will know the site is about nothing and has no substance.

The key is like Mike said and have a plan and strategy. My first 10-20 blogs were a disaster because I was just trying to add 1000 post with no rhyme or reason, and moved on to the next. I made a total of about $50 in six months. When I put a strategy in place, my autoblogs started to look like a unique blogs with good content, and my earnings skyed through the roof. I will even dare to say you can probably make an autoblog into an authority site with the right plan in placed.

In all, the key to all these automated tools like WP Robot, ReviewAzon, WP Answers, WP Youtube, and all million autoblog tools is speed. What took someone months or years to build a good content site, can now be done in weeks or even days....

So if anyone is thinking that they will buy WP Mage and build 40-50 sites, and the money will start rolling in are fooling themselves. Save your money, and don't buy any more products till you have a plan in place. Take it from me, it's better to build 10 good autoblog sites that will help someone, than build 100 crappy autoblog sites.

Hi After going over all the videos and pdfs and even trying out wpmage I am not impressed. Every bit of this can be done by Market Samurai in a much more planed out method with better keywords and add placement Market Samurai has all the same monetization modulus CJ CB Ebay adsence and amazon it also has the ability to pull in articles and is able to track everything and all for only $97.00 disclaimer Market Samurai does not have an affiliate program so I am not trying to sell it. If it did I would be first in line

Doiron · 11-19-2009, 04:36 AM

For those who are concerned about the relatively high price for WP Mage, my guess is that the program will be offered as either a one-time payment or on a three month instalment plan. That's what Greg's done with Google Sniper purchasers and Jack Humphrey list members. That's where I bought in.

And I agree with several of the above posters that the way to go about this is with a certain degree of planning - continue to use the niche-finding methods that you've learned in so many courses and products - or just by reading this forum - and build strong, useful, information-filled sites.

This software will help you do that. Just don't go crazy and set up a hundred sites a day on words you found in a dictionary. You can't reasonably expect that most of those will make money. On the other hand, a little research will go a long way in determining valuable niches. And then, use this software to speed up your site-building.

Doiron · 11-19-2009, 04:44 AM

Melody - Sorry for your trouble. I lost both of my parents and I just wanted to say that - as hard as it may be to believe right now - it does get better with time. Have faith.

I'm not sure how Market Samurai integrates with wordpress - yes, I do own it and use it often. I think the whole idea and benefit of wp mage is the massive scale/depth of a blog that you can create in a very short period of time. While you may be able to find the "content" with MS (which I haven't really tested on products), how will you scale that with wordpress?

cashtech29 · 11-19-2009, 07:18 AM

Hello.
I'm wondering if anyone knows if you can download the master mage software downloads
if you are on the payment plan?

cashtech29 · 11-19-2009, 08:50 AM

Yeah,... Just a little hick-up.
Every thing's just fine now.

Melody,

You got more than enough to be successful on autoblogging. The missing piece I think is the software that mix multiple sources into one post and to make many backdated posts. WPRobot is moving on that direction, but have to wait and see next big upgrade. There is another plugin called WPMixer that is supposed to do this kind of job but it only works on WP 2.7.

RBadgley · 11-19-2009, 03:17 PM

Market Samurai posts directly to you word press site no need to log in to wp admin it brings up content from all the sources that wpmage does but you are able to pick and choose which to use

I choose to pimp one of my sites as directed in wpmage and then looked at my site and 50 to 75% of the postings did not relate to my sites theme.

Also if you are just trying out WPmage to see how it works don't do it with a site you value because if you ask for a refund as I did I had to take down all the posting that WPmage did for me--- now you have to remove all those postings by hand.

trishworks4u · 11-19-2009, 07:25 PM

Interesting - I didn't know MS had that feature. they certainly overdeliver and I have no idea why they keep putting off their affiliate program. It's a great tool and I have no intention of putting it down.

Like I said, I'm always looking to streamline and wp mage is something that is allowing me to scale my site building to the level that I want and, frankly, I just think it's a really fun app to work with.

mick535 · 11-20-2009, 12:26 PM

This tool is not about creating perfect sites. You can't put something on auto and expect perfection. People use keywords for different reasons. keywords are also about context. What I mean when I say something is different than what anyone else might mean, thus you get different content from an auto blog tool than what youmight have meant when you set it up.

This is the exception, not the rule. Targeting and focused smaller sites are the way to go. Develope categories and drill down into niches. Don't just autopost 8000 posts to one category and expect results. That's just stupid.

Don't expect a Genie in a Bottle, it takes some work, but minimal work considering the large amount of Automation given to you with WP Mage. I love it and that is why I am willing to support buyers of it. It's a no brainer if you have the cash.

But is that Greg keep talking about in his video? He told Mage users to use categories instead of micro niches and use a long list of sub niche keywords to pull contents and generate 8000 post in one time. Is this the advantage of Mage system? I am confused.

Internet access is a dubious concern of mine at best and so continuations past my deployment date are also dubious, at best. Thus the passive income I require.

mick535 · 11-20-2009, 04:08 PM

That's exactly what I said. Maybe I shouldn't have use the term micro niche, I probably should have said a highly targeted niche. I said you need to have focused categories in one site. You can have 8000 to 20000 in one site, just make sure the categories are focused. If oyu have a micro niche category that only gets 150 keywords, so be it, it is the smarter way to go. Once you see all the videos it will make more sense.

There are LOTS of videos we did, but I think you are referring to the video where I am drilling down into the ebay categories as a tool of niche research
eBay - Nonfiction, Women's Clothing, Men's Clothing items on eBay.com

so we may be getting mixed up the terms 'categories'

though I think we are on the right track.

Frank Tocco · 11-21-2009, 07:45 PM

Does anyone know if the Nov, 23rd release date will have a 3 payment installment option like the earlier releases?

Has any of the Master Mages here actually created 100 sites yet and if so how are they doing?

I'm quite pleased with how they are doing.

AmyKay · 11-21-2009, 08:14 PM

Hi, Frank. Hello Tracy!

I have now made $514.17 total. Pretty soon, I'll be too embaresed to post my great earnings.

And I have only 70 sites up. And for the last 3 weeks, I haven't built or touched any of them. Passive income! And the earnings increase every day!

pearsonbrown · 11-22-2009, 04:56 AM

We mods are well aware that this program is becoming available again for a few days. We'll be watching this thread very closely. Short posts that just try to 'pimp' so-called 'review sites' will not last very long.

Intelligent reviews only, please.

Thanks,

trishworks4u · 11-22-2009, 07:10 AM

I agree that there is some confusion as to mass-posting of broad "categories" and drilling down into less competitive, ie- profitable niches, with the wp mage system. Just throwing up a bunch of adsense sites with 1000's of posts in broad categories, such as "weight loss", is going to get you bupkis.

For ANY system to work, you still have to find the profitable niches and do the keyword research. Wordpress Mage doesn't do that for you but does give you some tools to help - such as Keyword Mage. I still use plenty of outside tools to track down underserved niches, as I'm sure anyone with success does as well.

That being said, when the keyword lists are put together to generate posts for a blog, those posts can be "stacked" or "seeded" so that your most profitable keywords are used more often, and then your next, and so on... AND they system does NOT generate duplicate posts in your blog, ie - no dup pic, videos, articles, which is key.

hope that helps.

Melody · 11-22-2009, 07:25 AM

Since this seems to use a license key, I have a couple of questions:
1) Does the key restrict the use of the software/plugins from just one computer? I am not only back and forth between home (Cincinnati) and Reno right now trying to get my mom resettled, but my hubby and I both work on our sites form our own computers AND - I have a couple of people that I often outsource work to. So can we all use the software or is it restricted to say, just my desktop computer?

2) What happens if Greg shuts down shop? Does the software stop working? It has certainly happened before - so is this independent of Greg?

Thanks -

Melody

Since these are direct questions, let me jump in and give clear answers

1 - It installs on your servers - so it is not home-computer specific. Your license is good for all sites that you OWN.

2 - No. It works independently of me

(and anything else. It is standalone) though we give frequent updates that you may like

nordend · 11-22-2009, 08:10 AM

I am quite dissapointed, in his intro video he spoke about he can't give the system for free dus to Hosting costs (DUHHH???) and will give a 2 month trial of the system since he is such a generous guy. So I entered my paypal info in the idea I would be able to download the famous mage plugins to try it out and got a free two months trial in the Mage system, just to get an automation blueprint and some video's. BUT all the usefull tools and plugins can't be downloaded. From what I understant a HUGE one time fee of 497$ will be charged to get access to thoe tools, but when???. This isn't serious, since if I forget to cancel my trial in between two month I will get nothing for 27 $ a month (unless a lousy discussion forum not worth the quality of the warriors forum)

I guess the idea of full automation is a good one, but I would price this differently and only open doors when everything is already in place. This looks so lame.

THANK YOU!!! Makes me feel much better! I (unfortunately) have spent a considerable amount of moola on great software that is now 'non-functional' due to the developers 'moving on', so this is very comforting to know.

And the ability to work on my sites from anywhere is very important right now.

Thanks for the fast response, Greg, greatly appreciated!

There are 2 different setups for the Mage system. One is the Adept Mage, which is the free trial and then $27 a month. This includes much more than the blueprints and the forums. Adept Mage also includes the Affiliate Mage plug-in, which will post code to your hand-written posts for Amazon, EPN, CJ, Clickbank, etc. In addition to that, there are some other tools that are Mage server-based that are included - I know Domain Mage is one of them and possibly Keyword Mage and/or Article Mage. I'm not certain which are included in the Adept Mage membership.

I've seen others comment that just one of the tools is worth far more than the $27 a month if you know how to use them.

You can certainly still speed up your site-building with these tools.

The Master Mage is the total automation tool, and yes it does costs more than the $27 a month. I'm not sure what the price is going to be when it rolls out again on Monday, but probably in the neighborhood of $997.

Hope this helps clear up some of the confusion.

Mage Master is really an amazing system. In 3 1/2 months, I've made far more than the cost of the system, yet I have it for life, so imagine the potential.

Seems like these packages are always priced out of the range of people that probably need them the most - especially in this economy.

gheliucb · 11-22-2009, 03:20 PM

this is going out to any of you implenting wp mage so far or even greg jacobs if he can answer it..

i bought the mage system through jack friends list so im waiting for my echeck to go through. I used my financial aid money to purchase it. no one knows because i wanted to see if it will work for me and get my money out of it. Im a full time college student.

I have two jobs working about 25-30 hours per week along with about 16 credits. Im always swamped with homework cause of work so i really wanted to find something where i can put time into but actually have a recurring income.

I make about 700 a month to pay my own bills. Do you know how long it might take for me to be making that. By june perhaps? i just really wanted to know because im in a sticky situation where i need some financial freedom. People disregard the mage and some people really like it.i just want to know what your take is on it
Also what your success has been on it if you dont mind me asking.

i really thank you so much for you help.

This is an email Greg sent me when I asked him this question-

Greg,
Can you sell the sites created with the mage in the future?

Not right now. That will be a separate license.

pennyjmay · 11-23-2009, 06:21 AM

I don't post much on forums but feel compelled to add my tuppence worth to this discussion.

I have read all the Mage site promotional and educational material and have a real feel for this product.

The Adept mage tools in themselves are very good indeed. These alone will aid building sites very well and fast.

However, what people seem to be looking for is a magic button to do IM without any effort or thought. This whole Mage product is, in my opinion, an excellent TOOL.

You can use it to make what you already do a faster more efficient system.

That alone is worth the $1000 price tag for the master mage product.

Using this sensibly, not issuing hundreds of lesser quality sites, but less, more targetted niche sites will no doubt give great rewards.

I am into autoblogging (on the quiet) but also do many handbuilt WP versions. I am fast coming to the opinion that autoblogging with a personal touch is the way to go.

So, what I would do with the Mage.... Get a site up with 30/40 posts to start. Post up maybe half of that to launch it and schedule posts for every other day (personally I prefer one or two posts a week - maybe have to manually schedule posts in the Mage??). Quickly hand edit the content on the posts/pages to ensure it reads reasonably well to a human. Maybe throw in a short post or two of my own here and there too. Ensure the site is very well focused on a single niche/micro niche - Give them what they are looking for and nothing more on the site! Ensure there is diversification on these sites using different unbusy (but common) themes, some adsense and some affiliate sites, slightly change format of sites here and there. Add a couple of extra good links to home page from web 2.0 and other blogs to refresh Google's memory!

These tactics will ensure you have an excellent standard and you can build a couple of these a week easily part time or one a day full time.
The main time spent will be a) Niche and KW research B) reading and editing the language translations of content C)finding a common simple but appropriate free theme and lastly d) posting on a couple of blogs or Web 2.0 sites of your choice.

There are two schools of thought with autoblogging. One is - put it up and see, dont touch it or edit it. Just get the pages out there. The other is put it up with a little care and attention. Edit and tweak a little - no obsession - not too much time to be spent. Finished ? See what traffic comes - If it is a winner after a few months out there, go back and add more researched KW content pages - no traffic? - then let it die and move on! I am with the second school here. That does not mean that the first does not work - it is a matter of preferrence.

LONG LIVE AUTOBLOGGING!
LONG LIVE THE MAGE!

lonicera · 11-23-2009, 07:43 AM

can somebody provide a link of an actual wp mage created site ?
I'd like to see what it looks like.

Lady's fashion along with dog food? Just like diaper and beer side by side in grocery store? LOL.

In the little grocery store near my house they keep baby supplies and pet supplies on the same isle. One day I asked out loud, "Doesn't anyone but me see the irony here?" All I got was some disapproving looks from fat women dragging 3 kids behind them.

I have been experimenting with Mage for only a few days. Each day I read a little more and try a couple of different things. It's a little confusing at first (I'm blonde) but it's potential is starting to become clear. I think it's one of those things where actually playing with it is much more valuable than having it explained to you. Plus you can't go wrong with a two-month free trial.

My 2c.

All kidding aside Metronicity, what kind of results has this blog had?
Thanks,

That one is steaming along. Very good earner. Uh hang on...no no it's a dog. Don't do anything with dogs or cats or pets. Terrible keyword.

thinredline · 11-23-2009, 03:14 PM

I have interest in WPMage but since I was rejected by EPN and WPMage's strategy seems focusing EPN, so I am a bit worried that how could I make results by using WPMage without EPN. This is because from Mage Forum looks like most people have pretty low conversion rate on Amazon, CJ, etc. Anyone can shed some light?

Vibrant Warrior · 11-23-2009, 04:58 PM

Why not make it something like $99 a month or so and charge it for a year or even for the life of the membership? Since the members can't import the sites elsewhere it's a much more profitable avenue for Greg to explore and customers would be more willing to invest, regardless of how much they end up paying for the product.

Cheers.

There's always Firepow if you want to pay $117 month...

AmyKay · 11-23-2009, 05:32 PM

I tried FirePow several months ago. It is nice for adding plugins and content quickly. But I don't think it's still as fast as the Mage. With the Mage, you install the software once, and then you can create 30 sites. For each of those sites, you just choose your theme, the backdate and forward dates for posts, translation you want, and then copy/paste thousands of keywords. Then it automatically creates a post for each of those keywords. The keywords become the post titles, and because most of them are such longtail keywords, you get traffic from the search engines with absolutely no further effort.

You can do more than 30 sites for each batch, but I just do another CPMage install and another 30 sites, and so on.

Stefanie · 11-23-2009, 05:47 PM

Hi AmyKay,

Are you mainly monetizing with EPN? It seems like that would be the most profitable out of Amazon and CJ.

How do you respond to the people on the other thread talking about WP Robot?

No regrets...one of the best Autoblogging plugins in the market right now...

Hopefully this additional module will be implemented soon....

There are free solutions like WP-O-Matic though.

In fact, I don't understand why someone can spend over $700 for a similar solution out there on the other thread..

WP Robot has everything even the translation module !

Hopefully the creator will maintain the development of WP Robot for as long it is not perfect !

Is it really just a number games with Wp Mage - throw up sites as fast as you can and hope they don't sand boxed at some point? I guess you just throw up more if that happens!

OnlineMktgByron · 11-23-2009, 06:07 PM

Hi,
I've been following this thread all day and based on ongoing discussions, it seemed like the price was going to be around $997 with possibly a 3 pay option. I just looked on the upgrade link on the wpmage Adept members area and the price is listed as $1297 WOW.
I guess he's making us pay for not getting it on the last offer. No payment plan either.

Now I am seriously disappointed. This is obviously a great program from what I have seen, but I guess I will do it all manually or with someone else's plugins. I was hoping to be able to afford it, but after being out of work since January that is out of the question.

Oh well, on to other things.

Byron

Stefanie · 11-23-2009, 06:15 PM

Don't give up on auto blogging Byron, it really does work. WP-O-Matic is a great free plug in to get started with. You can make good passive income with these types of blogs. I have several that pull in about $150 a month each that I haven't touched in months.

Sure, the Mage plug-in really speeds things up but doing it the tried and tested way works too!

I live in Africa, I have bought the GSniper and am working on my first site, I heard about WP Mage and have been following this thread and see it has come up a couple times about the dup Content... My question is, would duplicate content still hurt my ranking if I use e.g USA content on a local site? Would google treat it same or different. ALso my feeling about using WPMAGE in my local market is more about Adsense etc as people do not tend to whip out the cc to often here .... I hope it will justify the cost over time which I think it will as there is no problem finding keywords with 20,000 searches and less than 10,000 competing local pages... Has anyone had good Adsense success with this system? Thanks in advance for your comments

In fact, my future Mage sites will be all adsense for a while, not ebay. I'm unsure of your other question. You get paid when people click on your adsense ads, they don't have to whip out their credit card at all. Mages dont think duplicate content is an issue. First, the title is different. It will be the keyword. Secondly, we all set up our post layouts with different combinations of translation, content sources, ads, and the order in which they all appear. The free trial is for the Adept Mage membership. That will later cost $27/month after your trial. The full Master is the package with downloads to create sites with.

Withought taking anything away from Greg's program, can you give me a quick comparison of the WP Mage program vs Firepow or Firepow combined with WP Robot? I have looked at WP Mage and it looks superb. I am a little shy of the $997. I joined the Adept program, but am really interested in a cost comparison. Thanks so much for your input. Wayne

I've been having a blast with the wp mage system and agree with several of the most recent comments here, particularly Mike's. I have no idea whether or not you would have success by just throwing up a ton of sites per day but that's certainly not the way I've been going about it. I have a goal of getting at least one site up per day because there are other things that I do: niche research, keyword research, buy domains, waste too much time on forums.... I also spend more time on the front page design of the blog, put a pic and bio on there and do a few other things that are on my "checklist". It is a great system and the "Mage" community is really great too. I honestly have to say that this is the first "big" IM purchase that I've made where I haven't had that nagging feeling in my stomach (kind of like indigestion) shortly after. Are there negatives? yep - I think it's slightly complicated but the forums are fantastic and "complicated" in and of itself isn't a bad thing - to me it means that there are so many possibilities that it's going to take me a long time to unlock them all. Frankly, I never thought that wordpress was simple in the first place...

Posts: 103 Thanks: 118 Thanked 50 Times in 30 Posts Social Networking Contact Info	Re: WP Mage Review Thread AFAIK the main difference between the "Adept" Mage and the full CPMage is that with Adept you have to do all of the site building by hand and with CP it automates everything as far as constructing the actual site. Greg actually encourages everyone to learn how to build the sites manually first in order to become more familiar with the entire system. Since I do not have an extra grand laying around at the moment I will continue to build my sites manually. Even if I had the money I think I would stick to doing them this way as I like to have more control over the finished site.

Posts: 337 Thanks: 49 Thanked 58 Times in 49 Posts Contact Info	Re: WP Mage Review Thread I don't think it's against their TOS to put adsense on a site that has content that is also elsewhere on the internet, thus, "duplicate content." If that were the case, the ramifications would be huge for many big well-known authority sites.

Posts: 203 Thanks: 97 Thanked 68 Times in 54 Posts	Re: WP Mage Review Thread For those who are concerned about the relatively high price for WP Mage, my guess is that the program will be offered as either a one-time payment or on a three month instalment plan. That's what Greg's done with Google Sniper purchasers and Jack Humphrey list members. That's where I bought in. And I agree with several of the above posters that the way to go about this is with a certain degree of planning - continue to use the niche-finding methods that you've learned in so many courses and products - or just by reading this forum - and build strong, useful, information-filled sites. This software will help you do that. Just don't go crazy and set up a hundred sites a day on words you found in a dictionary. You can't reasonably expect that most of those will make money. On the other hand, a little research will go a long way in determining valuable niches. And then, use this software to speed up your site-building.

Also if you are just trying out WPmage to see how it works don't do it with a site you value because if you ask for a refund as I did I had to take down all the posting that WPmage did for me--- now you have to remove all those postings by hand.

You can't put something on auto and expect perfection. People use keywords for different reasons. keywords are also about context. What I mean when I say something is different than what anyone else might mean, thus you get different content from an auto blog tool than what youmight have meant when you set it up. This is the exception, not the rule. Targeting and focused smaller sites are the way to go. Develope categories and drill down into niches. Don't just autopost 8000 posts to one category and expect results. That's just stupid. Don't expect a Genie in a Bottle, it takes some work, but minimal work considering the large amount of Automation given to you with WP Mage. I love it and that is why I am willing to support buyers of it. It's a no brainer if you have the cash.

trishworks4u Floating Warrior War Room Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: St. Petersburg, FL Posts: 483 Thanks: 45 Thanked 85 Times in 71 Posts Social Networking Contact Info	Re: WP Mage Review Thread I agree that there is some confusion as to mass-posting of broad "categories" and drilling down into less competitive, ie- profitable niches, with the wp mage system. Just throwing up a bunch of adsense sites with 1000's of posts in broad categories, such as "weight loss", is going to get you bupkis. For ANY system to work, you still have to find the profitable niches and do the keyword research. Wordpress Mage doesn't do that for you but does give you some tools to help - such as Keyword Mage. I still use plenty of outside tools to track down underserved niches, as I'm sure anyone with success does as well. That being said, when the keyword lists are put together to generate posts for a blog, those posts can be "stacked" or "seeded" so that your most profitable keywords are used more often, and then your next, and so on... AND they system does NOT generate duplicate posts in your blog, ie - no dup pic, videos, articles, which is key. hope that helps.

So I entered my paypal info in the idea I would be able to download the famous mage plugins to try it out and got a free two months trial in the Mage system, just to get an automation blueprint and some video's. BUT all the usefull tools and plugins can't be downloaded. From what I understant a HUGE one time fee of 497$ will be charged to get access to thoe tools, but when???. This isn't serious, since if I forget to cancel my trial in between two month I will get nothing for 27 $ a month (unless a lousy discussion forum not worth the quality of the warriors forum) I guess the idea of full automation is a good one, but I would price this differently and only open doors when everything is already in place. This looks so lame.

I have two jobs working about 25-30 hours per week along with about 16 credits. Im always swamped with homework cause of work so i really wanted to find something where i can put time into but actually have a recurring income. I make about 700 a month to pay my own bills. Do you know how long it might take for me to be making that. By june perhaps? i just really wanted to know because im in a sticky situation where i need some financial freedom. People disregard the mage and some people really like it.i just want to know what your take is on it Also what your success has been on it if you dont mind me asking. i really thank you so much for you help.

pennyjmay Warrior Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Posts: 23 Thanks: 8 Thanked 6 Times in 6 Posts	Re: WP Mage Review Thread I don't post much on forums but feel compelled to add my tuppence worth to this discussion. I have read all the Mage site promotional and educational material and have a real feel for this product. The Adept mage tools in themselves are very good indeed. These alone will aid building sites very well and fast. However, what people seem to be looking for is a magic button to do IM without any effort or thought. This whole Mage product is, in my opinion, an excellent TOOL. You can use it to make what you already do a faster more efficient system. That alone is worth the $1000 price tag for the master mage product. Using this sensibly, not issuing hundreds of lesser quality sites, but less, more targetted niche sites will no doubt give great rewards. I am into autoblogging (on the quiet) but also do many handbuilt WP versions. I am fast coming to the opinion that autoblogging with a personal touch is the way to go. So, what I would do with the Mage.... Get a site up with 30/40 posts to start. Post up maybe half of that to launch it and schedule posts for every other day (personally I prefer one or two posts a week - maybe have to manually schedule posts in the Mage??). Quickly hand edit the content on the posts/pages to ensure it reads reasonably well to a human. Maybe throw in a short post or two of my own here and there too. Ensure the site is very well focused on a single niche/micro niche - Give them what they are looking for and nothing more on the site! Ensure there is diversification on these sites using different unbusy (but common) themes, some adsense and some affiliate sites, slightly change format of sites here and there. Add a couple of extra good links to home page from web 2.0 and other blogs to refresh Google's memory! These tactics will ensure you have an excellent standard and you can build a couple of these a week easily part time or one a day full time. The main time spent will be a) Niche and KW research B) reading and editing the language translations of content C)finding a common simple but appropriate free theme and lastly d) posting on a couple of blogs or Web 2.0 sites of your choice. There are two schools of thought with autoblogging. One is - put it up and see, dont touch it or edit it. Just get the pages out there. The other is put it up with a little care and attention. Edit and tweak a little - no obsession - not too much time to be spent. Finished ? See what traffic comes - If it is a winner after a few months out there, go back and add more researched KW content pages - no traffic? - then let it die and move on! I am with the second school here. That does not mean that the first does not work - it is a matter of preferrence. LONG LIVE AUTOBLOGGING! LONG LIVE THE MAGE!
