Hello Warriors,

I want to earn $950 a day from auto blogs.

Is $1 a day per blog achievable via adsense? I want to create 950 blogs all making me $1 a day as a minimum income plus affiliate sales from auto blogs. I want to set and forget about them and due minimum maintenance on the blogs.

Can this be achieved or is this a pipe dream?

I would welcome your input warriors. Thanks

Terry

    No that can be achieved. I've heard of other people doing that.

    But you better get a powerful server with all of those mysql queries. LOL

    It is possible, but I debate the long-term success of sites like auto-blogs. I think Google will start to recognize these sites and do something about it.

    I'm not sure off the top of my head, but is it allowed in adsense terms to use them on automated sites like that?

    Why not make a website that earns $5 a day? Then you need a fifth of the amount of websites?

    I think if you have so many, it will end up in tears!

      I totally agree. I would work on one thing at a time and get it earning at least $5 and then work on the next thing.

    I'm sure it's achievable but I'd be worried about google reviewing your account and seeing that you have 950 auto blogs and banning you from the adsense program.

    That's a huge amount of effort to go through to then have your account banned.

    I'm not saying it will happen but it has happened to a lot of people before.

    And then how are you going to maintain those 950 sites?

    If you use wordpress then the plugins are going to need updating etc.

    I'd rather create 10 that make me $95/day. It would probably take about the same time with a lot less headaches.

    I agree with Will. The thing is that since you are putting adsense on them all, you are leaving a huge footprint.

    And, if you think about it, Google knows that there is a big trend to create a bunch of small sites or autoblogs for the sole purpose of earning adsense money. Maybe it even raises a red flag when they see adsense being added to a bunch of domains in a short period of time?

    I'm not against autoblogging or making money with adsense but I think what you are attempting to do is exactly what they do not want, so your profits may be short lived.

  • The IMer in me says you can. The casual surfer in me tells me don't bother, your just ruining my surfing experience.

    Honestly, that business model is not going to hold up, I don't know why anyone would even recommend it.

    Its just stealing other content, and trying to rank through backlinks etc, where is the satisfaction of success?

    1. You didn't help anyone
    2. You don't control what is posted (you want to set and forget)

    Could list more but I think you get the gist by now that I advice you forget this ridiculous money making model

    Unless its a site like alltop. They just act as the middle men and link out.

    Maybe create a more specific one.

    But then again that site is heavily moderated and control what is posted etc.

      Yes I agree, plus I am making $5-$8 a day from a static site (have been for a few months) with some good content on it. Create 50 pages of good content, KW targeted and $1/day + should be possible without the risk of looking like a spammy site. But it does take more effort of course.

    I'd be very leary of creating that many sites solely to make $1 a day from each one using an autoblog format. The adsense program can be a very good money maker but with the fickle nature of Google your account can be closed at a moment's notice even if you think you are meeting their TOS.

    You would probably be better off creating a smaller amount of sites and focusing on positioning those sites to earn more per site. $3-$5 per website is easily attainable and some sites will turn into homeruns resulting in an even higher earnings potential along the lines of $7 - $10 a day.

    The days of rapidly pumping out sites (think traffic equalizer many years ago) are no longer in vogue. The better solution is to create higher quality sites in small clusters.

    Respectfully,

    Thanks for your input Warriors. My reason for creating the 950 blogs is that it is alot easier to make $1 a day from a blog then say $5 or $10.

    I can't see the reason why google would ban my adsense account if my blogs were generating genuine traffic to the sites.

    On the other hand it may be better to create 100 blogs making $10 a day to reach my target income of about $950 a day.

      When I first started I thought Adsense was going to be the solution to all of my income needs. Boy was I wrong. Then I discovered affiliate marketing, and as I used to say "why have 100 sites making $10 a day when you could have 10 sites making $100?!"

      Same principle applies, but is even more attainable once you get into affiliate marketing. I mainly promote physical products, and easily sell enough womens shoes in one day to make $100. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

      Instead of quantity, think quality. Think of 10 niches you can totally cash in on for serious cash instead of 950 niches that will make you a buck a day. If you go the Adsense route, yes you will need quite a few sites, but if you mix in some affiliate marketing you might be able to squeeze a bit more cash out of your sites than you ever imagined.

    I think ultimately that will fail. Remember, it's quality, not quantity. Also you'll have a way higher resale value with bigger sites.

  • They would ban you based on the fact that you are using info from elsewhere that may otherwise be bad content. And even if its good content, its still being taken from else where without reference.

    This in googles book means you are providing a bad surfing experience, and they do not want to work with anyone of the sort.

      You are seriously mistaken Jason. Who says he wasn't going to reference the original post? I've had autoblogs going for years with adsense on them. Haven't gotten banned yet. It's all in the matter of how you do it.

      The autoblogs I've created all provide a useful user experience, providing all the information they are looking for in one convenient place.

      Autoblogs, if done correctly do work. Your advice/information is incorrect.

        Yes, it seems a lot of people are under the mistaken assumption that autoblogs steal other peoples content but that does not have to be the case.

        Autoblogging software is just a tool and you can pull in content that you have the rights to use such as articles from directories with the resource box intact, youtube videos, Yahoo answers with proper attribution, products etc...

        Really, it's just another way to get content on your site without having to slave over it all day.

      Sounds like you only know about scraping, not autoblogging. Sorry if that's harsh, but its true.

      If you want to see one of the premier auto-generated sites in action, hop over to thefind.com. No real value at all, it's almost all generated from feeds and has less real content than the average affiliate site people around here create, but yet they rank for 1000's of product searches.

        Ok scraping, I'm on about those sites that grab a lot but have no value, and the way in which the op wrote it, I assumed this is what he meant.

        I didn't say they couldnt rank well, or that they couldnt be successful. I see some pretty awful sites ranking well

        And thefind.com, from a quick glance connects people with products. So I don't see it as completely useless.

        I think I gave out the wrong impression. I do think there is a viable way to do auto-blogging, i.e moderation, referencing, and generally keeping it all in control.

        Whilst what I was referring to be bad is those sites that literally grab anything and everything, some about a specific topic and others about anything. So much so that you can tell the site is a big joke.

        *EDIT* Oh and I should apologise to the op for coming to such a bad assumption. But the way you came in, said you just wanted to make 950 blogs, have them earn 1 dollar each then set and forget them like none of it was hard word drew that assumption in my head.

          Google sees sites that do this, scape affiliate feeds and build an automated site around keywords, as useless and deindexes them upon discover although thefind, nextag and some others get away with what us small-timers can't. If we do it we're a "thin affiliate" site but if a company that is financed by a Silicon Valley VC firm that has Google employees providing some of the money does it, well, then it's a different story.

      Actually thats not true.

      Just because the content comes from somewhere else doesn't mean it's "bad" or stolen...etc

      I don't agree wth the OP's approach but your line of thinking that auto content is always stolen or "bad" isn't exactly fair either. It is more than possible to get content from reliable sources (where it is allowed to be republished), post it to a blog and give the original author credit.

      If this is done correctly then it can and often does provide the reader with a good surfing experience...which is what Google really wants.

        Hi Terry

        The awesome thing is that you have a plan.

        Now its time to tweak the plan and make it more workable.

        Perhaps you could

        1) Focus on less sites that make more $$$
        2) Spread the risk re monetization
        3) Aim a bit higher than $1 per day per site
        4) Make sure that you are well positioned in the search engines so that you can take advantage of organic traffic.

        But above all - have fun with your plan.

        Regards

        Bronwyn and Keith

        Have you not read my other posts after that initial one. It explains what I meant.

        Which in my opinion is the majority and very few do it right.


        And bgmacaw, like I said "a quick glance at the website" for a few seconds. I don't have any details about those sites or the why so its hard for me to come back or discuss that. All I can say is that your most probably right, and it is harder for small timers.

        But then I didn't mean websites like those. I'm talking those sites who do it recklessly.

      Hell yeah we are. One of the best ways I've found to market affiliate products is to set up affiliate sites and then have a "newsletter." Many people will sign up for your newsletter if you promise future discounts on the product they are interested in. One of my niches involves emailing hardcore action figure collectors new deals and such for a figure sub-niche I'm in. Affiliate Marketing with a list can definitely be a good time for your bank account.

    I think it is possible, but like others say, you may get banned from adsense. That being said, you could still make the money from other advertising programs and promoting amazon, cb etc...

    The concern I have with a network that big is that a) it will be VERY dificult to manage. You will need a few VAs at least. b) it will take a VERY long time to set up. I would say at least 2 days to build an auto blog and build backlinks to it correctly 2 x 950 = 6 years...

    And then like the others say, in 6 years who the hell knows what will be working and what wont...

          You can be meeting all TOS and still get your account suspended (which means 'permanently closed'). There's a handy catch-all they use a lot. Google just asserts that your account "represents a risk to our advertisers" and shuts you down. There's an appeal process, but no one seems to get their account back.

          A lot of people are making a lot of money this way. And it's way more sustainable than a massive auto-blog scraper network running in the wild (no supervision).

          Even if Google had no problems with such a network, letting it go feral would open huge security holes. Miss a security update or a plug-in update, and you could find your network serving a new master - one that does not have your best interests at heart.

              Good grief! That thought alone could give me nightmares.

              And those numbers! I'd go for higher quality -- set up landing pages and building mailing lists etc. and some HIGH quality Adsense blogs etc.

              That would strike me as a more effective model.

                The easiest way is to make sure you update to the newest version of Wordpress when it becomes available. That will keep out most of the troublemakers.

                Generally, you'll see two types of updates, bug fixes/feature adds and security updates. You really want to keep up with the security updates.

                Some plugins also open security holes by opening unintentional back door access to your database and/or control panel.

                If you really worry, there are several good products on the market as well as tutorials online. What they generally boil down to is using different naming conventions than fantastico when installing blogs.

  • Oh and I did say sites like altop are helpful, and similar results can be achieved with auto blogs aslong as they are moderated and referenced.

    Hi Jason,
    When i say auto blogging i mean using a plugin that grabs content from different sources such as other blogs via rss feeds,article directories,you tube videos etc etc and it would be properly referenced by keeping the links and occasionally add unique content to the mix.

    Can you tell me why this would be bad content? and isnt this an established practise for maybe 90% of all blogs out there?

    Yes i agree with you bgmacaw that list building is probably the numero uno of making money online. I think i need to get a Squeeze Page built quickly and get some subscribers who are ready to spend some money.

    Every site I build (3 so far) changes my ideas of 'the best way' to do internet marketing.

    Start with one site and see what happens.

    I am definately considering building landing pages pages to pull in the spenders with a free gift,video or 7 day email tips course. I just need to decide which niche to try first.

    It looks like my auto blogging empire is over even before i got started.

    You spend X number of months building these sites that make a buck a day and then blammo, Google changes their algo or AdSense pulls the plug on your sites. Now what?

    Why not focus your energies on one or two sites, a mailing list, and some good products? You would be better off going down that route. If it's customer service that you don't want anything to do with, then the same plan will work with affiliate products.

      While I agree with the sentiment, there are (or should be) limits to what you can do as an affiliate in terms of customer service.

      You can advocate for your referral buyer, but that's about it. The final action has to lie with the product owner/vendor.

      I suppose you could step in and cover a refund from your own pocket if you felt strongly enough about it, but that might be a dangerous precedent. Even sober monkeys play 'monkey see, monkey do', and if word gets around that you cover refunds on affiliate products, it could be trouble.

      On the other hand, as an affiliate, you likely won't see 95%+ of the customer service issues because the buyer will take them up directly with the vendor. Successful long-term vendors, the kind you want to partner with for the long haul, will share your ideas about service and word of mouth, leaving no reason for a buyer to come back to you...

      I agree with you about customer service being paramount, but by marketing affiliate programs you do not have the same amount or type of customer service issues that you would have as the actual seller of the product.

    Can this be achieved or is this a pipe dream?

    I would welcome your input warriors. Thanks

    Ok. And how are you planning on doing this exactly? Sure, you can get 1 autoblog to earn $1, $2 even $5 relatively easy. But it's not as easy as "just replicate it". First of all, for each blog you would have to choose a different niche. Not all niches pay well and not for all you will be able to rank just from autoblogging. Are you ready to invest in seo and backlink campaigns for each blog? How will you manage them all?

    How will you pay for domains? What will your host say?

    yes this is doable...but alot of work.

    With IM it is easier to work smarter not harder.

    With googles new rules people have been banned for doing this stuff. So just be careful and go nuts....hope you get there.

      Another thing to consider is teh difficulty in managing that many sites. You'll find it pretty laborious keeping up with 200, let alone almost a thousand.

    Getting more than 30-50 websites on the same Adsense account and google will review them and close your account faster than you can blink. They DONT like autoblogs.

    You need to base each blog around a CPA product.
    The link for each CPA product needs to be pulled from a central database, so you can replace links when a product gets suspended or deleted (which happens quite often).

    And follow the golden rules:

    - Use VPS servers and don't place more than ~20 blogs on the same server, use different hosting companies. Make it so each blog cost ~$1/mo in hosting.
    - Don't use the same theme for all blogs, use a different theme for each blog.
    - Do keyword research for each blog (yep).
    - Make each blog unique, do not use Google Analytics or anything else than can associate the blognetwork to the same owner.

    Think about the logistics of doing this, as well as the expense. At about $10 per domain name, you're looking at around $9500 just in domain costs alone to get this network of sites up.

    In addition to that, maintaining this autoblog network and manually approving crawled content to be posted is going to be a monumental job. I don't think there's any earthly way a single person can handle 950 blogs all by himself. In my opinion, you'll have to hire at least 2 outsourcers to do this properly.

    Have you even thought about outsourcing, and are you prepared to train and support your outsourcers in the beginning?

    This would be a gargantuan project in terms of scope and cost, and before you start daydreaming about making money with your autoblog network, you might want to consider all these factors very carefully.

    By running so many auto-blogs, it would be a disaster if Google suddenly changes its algorithm.

    A better way would be to diversify, you could have a few auto blogs, build a few affiliate sites, produce your own products, go into ebay etc. As you can see, the sky's the limit here. Do NOT ever put all your eggs in 1 basket!

    Seems like a lot of work for a dollar. The blog should have quality content... I think this would be a difficult thing to do. To stick watered-down same-ole-stuff out there pollutes the search engines and internet and gives a bad name to those of us wanting to add quality and trust to IM. If you do it... do it well!

    I am still only in the planning stage and testing the water warriors. I currently have one blog live, which i need to get some traffic to.

    Someone asked why i need to earn $950 a day rather than $50. My answer is why not. This is a fgure that would give me the lifestyle i desire so i need to aim high and if i can achieve half of this i would be happy.

      True, but take it one step at a time, and remember to have interim goals in place so that you can stay motivated and on track to achieving that final goal of yours.

      This isn't something that can be done overnight, so try to set yourself at least several incremental goals that are easier to reach, so that you don't get discouraged and deviate from your plan.
