The main way to make money is with ads, but you can also make money with clickbank and amazon. It's much easier to make money with ads though. Check out Extreme Cash Blueprint. They have a good auto-blogging plan.

The same way you would for any other blog...through SEO...article marketing, building back links..etc

Auto blogging is no different than any other IM method in how you approach building your sites rank to get higher in the SEPRS and how you go about marketing it by means other than Google.

I think i understand where remsleep is coming from. The fact is that auto-blogs seem to be at a disadvantage SEO wise given the duplicate content on the site. If included in Google index, they are not likely to be ranking for the keyword phrases the high authority sites that have the same content on their sites are ranking for, if the webmaster is wise enough to realise that.

But i think that is where the answer lies. They will aim to rank the same content for other keyword phrases perhaps not being ranked for by authority sites that equally have the same content on their sites.

However, if they are using the same content with less authoritative websites, they may even outrank the sites using the same keyword phrases the site may be targeting.

That is SEO wise.

Of course there are other marketing strategies which they can use such as PPC, forum marketing, social media marketing etc which may not strictly be disadvantaged by duplicate content.

Yes and no....

I have several blogs that have content on them from directories like Ezine and it isn't uncommon to outrank Ezine for the same exact article they have. This all boils fown to your sites SEO. I am not saying that unique content isnt better....Im just saying that its not as hard to rank for republished content as one would think.

Yes...as mentioned above, there are several ways to rank a site or a piece of content on a site (regardless if it is used elsewhere or is unique). Many different SEO options and sometimes we will get replublised content to rank for keywords and phrases that we dont initially target.

Please understand I am not advocating that replublised content is better in some way than unique content. In actuality I often mix my sites content with several different sources (including unique occasionally). I am simply saying that it isnt as hard as people tend to think to rank well for what is often considered duplicate content.

It has been my experience that any sites I do not care about, like the kind that are always advertised as set and forget or any of those other buzz phrases, never do as well as sites I actually care about.

As far as autoblogging goes, there are levels of it, ranging from posting rss or data feed content to merely lining up your posts ahead of time and future dating them.

But autoblogging really only saves you money in adding content to your site, if you want your work to give you something back, in the form of visitors, or leads or signups or money or anything else, you have to spend time caring about and working on getting your site ranked.

This is exactly right!

Unfortunately most people have the misconception that auto blogging is "set it and forget it" and thats just not the case these days. I'm not sure it ever was to be honest, least not for those that are successful with it.

I treat my auto blogs the same as I do my other sites, they all get the same SEO treatment. The only difference with them is that in most cases once I set them up I dont have to spend as much time concentrating on the actual content as I do with other sites. Notice I didnt say any time...I said as much.

Auto blogging still requires work, it's just focused differently.

It is kind of like having a birthday cake. Someone can buy you a cake from the bakery department in the grocery store and it is OK, you still have cake. But if someone who loves you takes the time out of their day to find out what you like and then bake you a cake by hand, then that is a whole different story.

It isn't that you can't put up a site with an autoblogger, you certainly can, but what you have is a store bought birthday cake, same as everybody else who bought a cake that day, except is has your name on it.

So if you think about your website visitors like people who come over to your house for birthday cake. Are they really going to go hog wild over the storebought cake, raving about how wonderful it is? Probably not. But if you have a cake someone made especially for you, then I suspect you will hear an entirely different set of reactions from your guests.

If you are building a site to make money on, that you actually want that site to do something for you, you have to do something for that site.

Nice analogy.

It's obvious you want to bake your cake for your guests and thats fine if that is what works for you...by all means...bake away.

I'd rather go to the store and buy 10 cakes and serve them to many more guests in the time it takes you to bake the one to feed a few

To each his own...

True enough. And to each their own, no worries. My experience in autoblogging a while back was getting 300 sites de-indexed in a single afternoon. So I decided to change my way of working.

That was my experience, everyone's mileage will vary.

Duplicate Content is not some same article which you see in many sites. When your site have same content on different URLs in the same domain, google treats as Duplicate content.

So its safe, but unique is better.

Find some keyword rich exact domain and first you some good article till it is ranked well for that keyword in domain, then automate to expand. It works.

I have clarified this many times but still seems many people are still unaware.
Whether on the same site or not, once content is repeated significantly, it is duplicate content.

The treatment by Google is however another matter. Google does not ordinarily penalize for duplicate content across different sites except where there is fraudulent or malicious intent involved. It is this that makes many people think duplicate content across sites is not really duplicate content.

Even in cases where duplicate content results on the same site, Google does not necessarily always penalize. If the duplicate content is not premeditated nor with malicious intent nor deceptive in origin, the content will still feature in Google index, but only one version of it that Google deems most appropriate.

It is this misunderstanding of "Duplicate Content" that makes so many people believe it is a myth.

For detailed explanation, see this post

I agree with most you have said about the myth, however, I have actually tested this on purpose with sites that had held their rank over time. In most cases (not all), shortly after duplicating a piece of content the sites rank would drop. I then removed the duplicated content and the sites rank would slowly recover.

As I said...not always but more often that not and I know others who have had the same results (which actually led me to test it for myself).

I recommend Advanced Wordpress Tutorials. I don't know if you're using Wordpress or not, but it's the marketing tutorials you might be interested in checking out, because they're not CMS specific. I found the entire series pretty helpful; you do have to opt-in to get the password to access the tutorials, but they're free, really good value i think.

Thanks

It seems most people make money from auto blogs, by SELLING them.

Many people are selling auto blogs both here and other places.

Several people do sell them...thats one way to make money with them

I dont sell mine but I know several who do.

It's all a matter of personal choice really. I know people who build and cultivate auto blogs for the sole purpose of flipping them.

Really boils down to your own personal choice as to how you want to structure your business.

Now that my adult sites' income is fast approaching zero, I can actually tell you that I used to make roughly $2000 - $4000 per month from (mostly) autoblogs for many years.

I can also tell you that I spent VERY little time on linking or promoting these blogs - Google was sending me traffic simply due to the pure volume of their content. Also, out of the 10 blogs that I would create, probably 3-4 would start getting good traffic, while the remaining would "fail," so it is never a sure thing. I am still reluctant to share how I did it, but is a very simple concept and different from what everybody else is doing.

Anyway, I am far from bragging here since (as I said) the income from my adult sites has been steadily declining, but I assure you that not only it is possible, but also you can make good money out of it. I wish I could find an easy way to use the same approach in mainstream...

Thanks
