Can Someone tell me how you make money from an autoblog and Adsense?

I see a lot of sites that are autoblogs on Flippa and new autoblogs on the Warriof forum for sale. How do they work when the content is duplicate?


Someone who is doing this profitably explain how this business model works please.

    In a nutshell you basically throw up a blog and have people coming to it.

    Say it is a blog for those little flyaway model planes that blow away in the wind, if you have the word "flight" in your articles advertisers pay up to $2 per person who comes to them through your website, you get a cut and google gets a cut. But only if people click through (and it is not worth your time to get your friends all to click, it will be noticed)

    Much better than autoblogs though I think are personalised blogs where you actually interact with your readers and know what they want rather than a bot churning out a load of crap, if you have ever seen a deranged posting bot you will know what I mean, it is up to you though

    Sorry but I think autoblogs are against adsense TOS,you might want to make sure before your adsense account goes bye bye!

      What part of the tos makes you think that? The content part of the tos describes what kind of content you are allowed to have (or not have) but says nothing about where the content comes from.

        Not an expert in this area but I have decided to give it a try and I do think it can be profitable with not a lot of work. I just put up two of them in the last week and without doing anything after setting them up one has brought in 2.74 and the other 1.29. Since I have not promoted them yet and they are not ranking for their keywords I was surprised to be honest. Almost a dollar a day and they are just getting started.

        The key is to pick niches and especially keywords that are not very competitive. I really believe that this will be the most important part to making it work. I also believe that you need some of your own content (no testing on this yet just my thought on the matter). I created an original page for each of my target keywords and plan on using the additional content as support.

        Seriously I do not understand why everyone gets so twisted on the duplicate content thing. Been on yahoos site recently? Almost all of their content comes from somewhere else and it does not seem to be hurting them at all. As long as you follow all the rules of the sites that you are pulling the content from you should not have any problems.

          Thanks for all the information.

          I do not own an autoblog, but was just curious about how they get organic traffic. One of the sites that I have been looking at is ranking very high on page 1 on Bing and Yahoo, but is not found in Google. Those engines don't seem to penalize like the big G.

          I have tested WPunique some but have not had good results. If it worked I could see autoblogging being a viable business model.

          Yahoo already has how many visitors? You have to give them something to do...

          People starting out, I don't know how autoblogging can help you out. I've tried adding content from other sites in the past, Google will rarely send you any traffic to that page even on sites that your custom articles are generating traffic. So I can't answer your question about how this works, I'm wondering the same thing.

            The question in my mind would be the why. Is it the fact that the content can be found elsewhere or is it the fact that the content on those pages is not optimized well for a particular keyword so it does not rank well. Have you back linked a generated page and had it still not done well? Trying to think about the best way to test this.
