How much you can earn with autoblogging?

Yeah - I had a good autoblog going in the fitness niche. I got about 100-200 visitors a day and was making about £30 a month from it - which considering I spent absolutely nothing on it, was fine by me.

Then I'm guessing one of my competitors reported me to big G as spam, as I got a webmaster tools notice of poor quality content. Rankings dropped into the toilet, so did my traffic. Coincidentally the domain was due for renewal the following month, so I just let it lapse.

You're using Adsense with autoblogging? I've heard people say that you're not allowed to use it with auto blogs. In fact, Google state it themselves that Adsense publishers require unique content if I remember right.

how can adsense prove its a auto blog? if google speculates then this is illegal.

how do you autoblog?

blogspot?

or a wordpress site? that you set up on a program?

thanks

I just started and was doing better each day until Sept 28th and all pages dropped down too much to get traffic.

I read Google is penalizing EMD's and thin sites with only a few pages. Where does that leave an affiliate marketer who doesn't want a personal following?

Not sure how to proceed here.

The thing I would like to know is, what is autoblogging? I am not used to with this term. Is it something like a wordpress plugin ?

I do not think that doing auto blogging can be any more a good idea in post panda era of big G.

Using an autoblog to generate adsense revenue is absolutely against the tos. It doesn't matter whether google can find out whether it's an autoblog or not. Google states in their TOS that they can discontinue your account at ANY time for ANY reason. It is 100% legal for them to ban you for whatever they want. If you don't believe me, read through the full tos.

There's a reason why banned publishers can't even get into contact with Google after a permanent ban has been placed. A lot of people don't think the big B is fair, but they have everything in writing when you join the program. Spencer from Niche pursuits lost a $10,000 per month Adsense account last year, and he could only speculate what went wrong.

To the op, I really don't know why I'm spending so much time writing this post. If you're using an autoblog with adsense then you probably will be banned sometime in the future. It's proven that Adsense is less ban heavy with members that have older accounts. So the fact that your adsense account is a couple years old means they won't monitor it as closely. However, if you ever accumulate a meaningful amount of income into your account, someone from the team will investigate your websites. When that happens, everything will be over and you will be done. All your hard work will be for nothing.

Note to anyone reading this. Build a real website with ACTUAL value and then monetize it with whatever is the most profitable. There's nothing wrong with using adsense, but for goodness sakes, don't put it on a scraper site. Google's shown in the last couple years of algorithm updates that they HATE scraper sites. If they consider your MFA site as "low quality content," then it's bye bye for good. Adsense bans are permanent. You lose the money pending in your account and have no chance to plead your case.

Because some people will read my post above and think I'm blowing smoke when I state that Google can ban you from Adsense for WHATEVER reason they want.

Here's a couple lines straight from the Adsense TOS

"Google may at any time and without notice, in its sole discretion, terminate all or part of the Program, terminate this Agreement, or suspend or terminate the participation of any Property in all or part of the Program with or without cause. In addition, Google reserves the right to terminate without notice any account that has not generated a sufficient number of valid clicks on Ads or Referral Buttons or valid impressions of Ads (in each case as measured by Google) for a period of two (2) months or more."

So I'll say it again. Google can ban you for whatever reason they choose. Using autoblogs or any other form of spamming is playing with fire. Google hates scraper sites and will have no problem banning you from their program.

Build REAL websites with value. That's the best way to make money with Adsense. I have no ethical problem with autoblogs, but use a monetization strategy that won't slap you in the face. However, if you want to make any substantial money, then you'll almost certainly have to create value at some point anyways.
