[Autoblog] What is really happening here?

12 years ago

check also, the bounce rate and avg visit duration.
What I noticed here (might be mistake), is, people don't care where the information came from. They just want to read what they want to read.

Might be something to discuss here.....

Thanks

You got it right. Almost everybody now thinks that Panda doesn't like autoblogs just because they are "auto". This is a very wrong mistake. If your autoblog uses legit content sources (doesn't still the articles), and if your content is really interesting to the visitors (the site has low bounce rate and long "on site" time), your autoblog with be ok with Google.

I think Google has begun to look at websites that are constantly posting content, which is exactly what an autoblog does.

You are still able to pick up a lot of long tail keywords when you have a lot of content, regardless of how you get it.

Well google doesn't really know that your blog is an autoblog, right? I mean how can it tell if you posted manually or automatically. It can't.

So the real question is, does google care if your blog is full of stuff that can be found elsewhere on the internet.

If what you are posting isn't spun gibberish and you are pulling good stuff from valid places, I could see where that would have value to the visitor.

According to this experiment over at Search Engine Watch, blogs that had a high ration of non-unique content didn't do so well in Google:

It will be interesting to see how your auto blog does in the long run but since your blog is not even a month old, my guess would be that it is getting a "freshness" boost from the new posts and that this will be short lived.

Can't Google look for certain signs in a website such as plugins that automate content like WPRobot, Reviewazon etc. to help find and squash auto blogs?

It could look for footprints that the posts leave (like if you just use the default settings) and also for the plugin directory if you don't change the name. But if you were smart you would get rid of footprints like that.

Otherwise, how would it know? It can't login to your wordpress admin panel or look inside your database for the site so the only thing it has to go by is that stuff on the site itself and the files in your directory.

So do you mean if WPRobot is added to a site the name of the plugin to something else so it is not "recognized"? I don't autoblog but this has me curious.

Not the name of the plugin but the directory name for the plugin in wp-content/plugins.

I can't think of any other way Google would know what plugins you have other than looking in the directory structure for directory names that it knows are the default for popular autoblogging plugins.

Well, I guess it could search all the files on your server to find files that it knows belong to those plugins.

Well,right tools already solved all this footprints.
Remote posting ( no plugin at all)
Shedule time ( each post or coment appear at different time)
Each post can have different pattern (one post can have only article,second article + image,other video+article and so on)

Actually right autoblog,is the authority blog and look very natural and you never will recognize it as autoblog.
Anyway,people need information,they looking for,the better,all needed info in one place.
People,who claim,that autoblogging not working,just don't understand what they talk about.
No other site can compete with autoblog,it's just need time,to collect more usefull info in one place. Nobody interesting if the article was writen or bought or scraped.

Thanks

Wouldn't you get more out of sending an email off to the author of the articles seeing if they want to guest post? Potential contact for future business + potential original content.

Most of them will say no, but one or two pieces of original content is better than 10-20 spun articles.

Although autoblogging can earn you money, my humble suggestion would be to move to a real internet business model where you can earn more than what you will autoblogging hundreds of sites in the hope of earning thousands.

There are other excellent proven models & methods which you can employ to generate hundreds of dollars if not thousands. While they all need work, but in the long run they will be much more satisfying & profitable than stealing content from other sites and hoping to make pennies from advertising.

Up your game, and unleash your potential my friend.

Thanks

I did use autobloging but gave it up. I don't like to edit the spin articles. I find it a bit fasted to write original contend. When I was doing it I would copy the title in to Google SE to see who else had spun the article. I think that's why I gave it up.

Thanks

Yeah, one of the reason google bot visit a website regularly is because, the content is up to date.

I've few blogs that manually written but have stop posting new articles for long time, guess what, my ranking drop.

Yeap, I don't spin articles and getting the content for legit sources.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's because I'm running other real busines which make me still autoblogging. Well, setup once but run forever

I don't spin articles. I just posted it straight away.

Well, actually posting the articles even set to automatic

Actually it's also not a crime if you spin it (course if the content source allows that). Furthermore, spinning of the source article is not the only way to make your blog's content unique. For example, you can extend it with some related videos, comments etc.

Google lets you run wild for awhile. Then they'll analyze the site and deindex it.

Google is a billion dollar company. Surely their software is more intelligent than any autoblog robots out there written by a normal programmer. Maybe they have not analysed your site yet but just pick up some interesting contents from it...
