Auto Power Blogs

What's your definition of a scam? Is it a scam in the sense that you won't get the sites that you pay for - probably not.

Will the sites make money on auto pilot - no, certainly not.

Unique articles? You pay $37 for 100 sites with a total of 3000 articles - it they are unique, as it is claimed, it's not hard to do the math here -- that's around 1 cent they can pay per article to just break even.

So all 20,000 customers (authors own words) will most likely get the same sites, otherwise it wouldn't make sense to sell at this price.

I actually liked Tom Bell at one point, he's got a remarkable ability to come across as likable and trustworthy. This offer though seems to indicate that my judge of character skills may not be that impressive after all.

Go ahead and buy if you must, but don't expect any magic bullet or autopilot profits.

Sounds good Martin. I'll probably buy this, I just want to get in touch with someone who actually has this so I can be 100% sure.

No, not everyone gets the same sites. You get to pick the category (from a few big categories), names of your sites, etc. and it whips out blogs already pre-filled with unique content with built in promotions and such for you.

The content is written by a team of quality writers (with a ton of articles with lots of new ones each day) and several versions are made and spun to give a high percentage of uniqueness to each one while still reading very well unlike some other methods others might use. And even then, it picks from a big stockpile growing each day articles so that if you were to look at 100 sites side by side, they'd all appear very different with completely different topics if you want.

There's also training on how to get more traffic, how to add your own posts to it (with examples of blog posts that have made a lot of money off nothing but natural search engine rankings), what products to promote, etc..

It's a one time price for all that and there's free webinar trainings on top of the training already there.

Yes brian, I just got Auto Power Blogs today. I find it a bit complicated, but it will have to do.

Anyways, I am hoping to make a few hundred dollars in this week. This person made like 150 already... Auto Power Blogs Update

Hope I can do the same!

Well, I started internet marketing in late 2010. I don't make much (around $3000/month) and most is from article marketing. Now I have to give it to Shazia, his free guide on article marketing is what makes most of my income and it is what pays my rent and bills.

Shazia takes the time out to respond to all of my emails. When I had problems setting up my very first wordpress blog, he was the one that actually went into my account and fixed everything.

I got many emails about Auto Power Blogs, but I only bought it after Shazia's email cuz I trust him.

Martin,

Define unique for me...

As far as I know, a spun article can be a unique article as "unique", at least to me, means that it's different than any other article out there by at least on single character... that's unique, isn't it?

-Gary

However 'cool' Shazia is, I think you are being naive my man, if not seriously over-optimistic!

I don't follow all this "setting up" the blogs business, either.
After watching that annoying flow player video, I understand that these 150 blogs are supposed to be setup for you.
Along with content management etc.

You are talking about "setting up" ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY BLOGS!!!

This would take about half a year at the rate you are going - though no doubt your rate will increase as you complete the learning curve.

Still you are talking about netting an income of more than THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER DAY - given your "prediction" ($50/day from 2 blogs so far).
That would be in the area of ONE MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR!
All for a one time cost of $27!

What's wrong with this picture?


Still, this 'auto blog' stuff sounds like a good idea, if everyone is not getting the same blogs and content - I just wish someone could post some 'real deal' information on this product.

That's what I count on here at WF.

Anyone???

The barrage of emails promoting this Auto Power Blogs program is drowning my inbox.

It seems every single person whose list i am on is promoting this thing.

Article Syndication?

Hey, It's a Clickbank Product You have 60 days to get your money back. It seems to happen quite often, maybe some people are to lazy to get a refund when the don"t like a product with a unconditional guarantee. I bought the product and will most likely keep it it's just a one time cost, I think I can get my monies worth out of it in 6 month 1 year 2 years or what ever. Just my opinion.

AL

What are the upsells on this product?

This product is worthless and is a waste of your time and money. I copied and pasted paragraphs from each of the articles posted on my site and found them on thousands of sites verbatim. Getting a refund. I can use an autoblog plugin to bring in better content if it isn't going to be unique. Don't waste your time.

Move by kamikaze spirit I hit the buy button just to see what was all about (the $27 tag price wasn't harm too much my pocket anyway)

I passed on all the upsells, downsells, OTO and memberships and get to the core system.

ok, they give you 100 blogs, but if you really want to succeed you need to have your own hosting... luckly for you they recommend you one at a reasonable price (sarcasm intended) you need also to buy 100 domain names the kind of review niche relate (reviewmagazine.com or wathever) because the 3 niches (money, health and general) just throw you random articles with no relation with the title or the keyword you put, so forget about long tail keyword oriented sites, sniper sites will be useless too.

some of the post has an amazon widget, other has a opt in form on it, other clickbank links and adsense ads.

If you want that they host you the free 100 websites (without pay for a domain name) you just put your title, keyword and niche and they crate a subdomain blog on their main domain the kind of www.yoursite.theirsite.com

The creation of the blogs are really easy there is no doubt about that, the articles are not that crappy as one may thought due the monstruosity amount of articles they say they write, they are good spun articles (human readable articles) and looks good.

Now on the downside the 30 articles are created at once there is no dropfeeding that might fire one Google alarm or two IMO.

Traffic is covered with an upsell I guess, but they give you some hints on how to drive traffic.

I don't know if you can make the amount of money they claim to make, I don't know if the site itself will live by their claims... I just know that I tried it, tested it, but never felt comfortable using it and it wasn't the Wow experience I was looking for.

I'm still deciding if I hit the refund button or consider the price paid as an investment or a lesson learnt about what not to buy in the future.

I can't vouch for the product, but I have had some exchanges with Tom's staff on Skype (regarding other matters) and I've found them to be very genuine, helpful, and accessible. I know Tom's fine with people having his Skype username so if you have questions, you can approach him directly -- he's tomowudi on Skype.

I came across this thread as I was looking to for some info on APB. Is good there are some posts from warriors with first hand info on the product, thankyou for this.
Same time I want to extend my sympathy to LukeH. He simply asked if anyone had tried and could give a report on this product, next thing he is being targeted by peopole who
[1] dont seem to have bought APB, and [2] wouldnt know LukeH. Yet they consider it their right to say LukeH is full of B S. He has obviously done his homework, done the work and is making some $$ each month. Well done LukeH, I hope you continue to prosper.
I note this obnoxious trend is becoming more common in threads where a warrior asks for product info, and then a similar element of know alls dominate discussions, and develop it into a slanging match. I am certain this is not what the Warrior Forum was intended for and I think it is time Admin stepped in and put a stop to this.
When I started IM 4 years ago I was consistently within 3 months making $6K to $9K profit a month from 1 site, today I still make on average $1K or more each month from the same site.
Wonder who will be first to tell me I am all BS ?

I was requested by Tomo to post this message for him as a favor.

Copied and pasted, he asked that I post this here as he cannot.

I really enjoy reading threads where people actually have brought the product and are making a genuine comment based on what they have experienced instead of what they believe, and it is also true that a newbie can make money online, my first time out of the gate I generated 6 figures (my partner and I) we built a team and had a very positive cash flow for over a year -

Then my second time with online marketing, I was able to generate over $25,000 in about 35 days, then an additional 10-12k every 4 - 5 weeks thereafter for about 8 months.. in both cases, company I was teamed up with went under and my team was dismantled... I just shared that story to say that there are some who really do make money as newbies...

I am in the middle of producing my very own product but I do have two young adults in my house and I am always looking for other things that they may be able to do in an effort to make their own money. No offense to my children.. but they do not have the drive and ambition that I have, so they are not coachable as far as duplicating what I do via my style of things... however there are other things that I believe may be more suited for them.

But unfortunately when I come to WF to get more information about a product that sparked an interest, I am finding more and more that instead of real advice, it is more of a shooting squad... where most launches are being torn apart by people who have not purchased the products.

It would be really nice to bring the integrity back tot he warrior forum when we are discussing products and launches. No one is perfect and everyone who launches a product is not out to just scam people...

Actually, yes, there is a team of writers (all U.S. based and top writers -- not cheap ones) writing tons of new content and hand spinning content each and every day.

- Brian

I try to stay current on most things related to autoblogging and had to read this thread...

From the looks of things I would have to say that this falls into the category where its a bit of a rehash product...in other words, not really that different than most other push button solution products. Yes there may be some "unique" content but if the system can't publish it correctly to the sites it builds then what’s the point?

No, I haven’t purchased it and to be honest I don't purchase that many "systems" when it concerns autoblogging but I do purchase most WSO that are related such as eBooks, courses of instruction...etc, if for no other reason than its always good to stay current and you never know when you might learn a new approach or technique.

Having said that, I wouldn’t advise purchasing this one as it seems to have some of the same problems that many of the current autoblogging programs have...posting unrelated content. If a system doesn’t offer the user a way to preview the content prior to posting or to select the content to be posted (as many of these systems don’t) then you will most likely run into this kind of problem…just ask many of the WP Robot users about their experiences with that issue.

A system like this could be very powerful if the unrelated content issue were addressed and fixed…otherwise it’s most likely going to offer more problems than solutions.

It gives very relevant content, but not all of the examples you're talking about are using it correctly.

It clearly says that you can pick from four different categories: marketing / business, health / fitness, general consumer, or blogs with a mix of all three.

You can't pick a topic like "dog grooming" -- you have to go with the general topics that they give you. If you do that, all of the posts are relevant to you because that's what they write in. If you pick "health / fitness" and expect to get dog grooming, you won't walk away happy because that's how the system works, but you can suggest topics in your categories that the writers will often write when they have a shortage of new topic ideas since they're writing tons of articles each day.

But having said that, there is something in the works so people will also be able to do topic specific blogs in the future as well on top of these category specific blogs.

This all is clearly written out inside of the membership and in the instructions, so if you're going to try to review this, you should at least have the product and watch the tutorials and read the instructions to know what it's all about because some of the comments show that either you don't have the product or you didn't read what it does.

- Brian

If you pick one of the categories provided, all the content will be relevant to that category. That's how it was meant to be used. But there is something in the works to get very topic specific auto blog sites as well in the future.

There's also quite a bit of training with more on the way, as well as free training webinars provided to ask live questions and get more tips.

- Brian

That would be incorrect, Martin.

You have three options:

1. Host with APB on reviiew.com/[whatever] for free for up to 100 sites.

2. Buy your own domain through APB and host with APB for $12 or $15 / domain (which includes the hosting in the price for free -- the lower price is for managed blogs that get updated content weekly to daily which is an upsell). So you could get (your site).com and have easy integration. With this, you get unlimited sites.

3. Use your own domain names that you buy anywhere you want and host anywhere else you want outside of APB. There are no charges that you get from APB for this, and it only involves an extra step or two to do. And with this, it's also unlimited sites.

- Brian

After having reviewed this product in more detail, here are my thoughts.

First off, it would have been nice to know that currently there are only 3 categories to choose from. So if you really want 100 sites set up now, you'll need to set up for example 33 health categories, 33 marketing blogs, and 33 business blogs (or another combination) - in other words, none of them will be tightly themed out of the box. They'd all be general blogs, with general content from that niche.

And it would seem you pretty much have to stick to these very generic top level categories - so one would create something like Mygreathealthblog.com for the domain to be relevant to the health related content provided. But if you wanted something specific like veganeatingguide.com how many of the general health related articles are really relevant? Based on the topical diversity of the "health" category content, I'd say very few. As far as marketing goes, that's a big disadvantage in my book.

As I said before - it's sold as unique content, but housands of other people get the same content, although in slightly varied form. If you compare with popular spinning software, it's does immediately seem more readable than what I've seen from those. But technically it is NOT unique content, and it is not without risk if you want to use search engines as a marketing strategy. And do people who buy "ready made sites" really want to create their own content.. wasn't that the reason they bought into the "done for you" angle in the first place? I can't speak for everyone, but one probably for doing so.

The training IMO is better than the rest of the product - but there could be more of it. But you might learn something from the training - Personally I didn't but I've been doing this for a longer period of time than most people, so I'm not a good bench mark. The training suggest that you also create your own posts. Now this is good, in my opinion. If someone wants to auto blog, that's fine. But if want to start putting real effort into producing content, do you really want to mix that with auto blogging of partially unique content?

And to honest, if you want to create a site with a content publishing model where you create your own content or hire writers, there is more comprehensive training on the market IMO.

The sales video talks about the cost if you were to set this up on your own. These figures, except for article writing - seem very exaggerated. Unless you are in fact getting different designs to choose from? I can't find them. And if so, are there any unique designs offered that aren't free themes?

And $200+ for each site for programming to set up a Wordpress blog with an autoposting plugin? I don't know which programmers they use, but certainly not mine (not to mention that a full blow programmer isn't exactly required for this type of site).

Although parts of this product is better than much of what we see coming out in this industry, it doesn't get my recommendation. I don't think this lives up to the underplayed hype that it's a "customer love fest" where you're getting 100 sites from which "the money will start cascading in".

Of course we've already learned one would be stupid for making such an assumption - and for what it's worth, that is something I do agree with wholeheartedly.

And finally - let me just again make it clear:

My initial comments were unprofessional, and I apologize for that - I was writing like I would have been to someone in private.. not appropriate here. I learned a lesson about when I should and shouldn't visit this forum.

And in regards to the "review" link - I was 100% on the mark. Idiots who create "reviews" like this needs to be exposed for the sorry creatures they are.

I can't say it was LukeH who perpetrated this, but you have got to wonder why someone who is successful trusts such a blatantly scammy source of information. Please, calculate the income proof on that page if you don't believe me - and please do explain why they are a perfect match with this very product (read my earlier post if you don't what I'm talking about). No one in their right mind will be without skepticism after that.

And how does one become successful with a method that doesn't make any sense?

Just as I shouldn't have posted based partly on emotion in the first place - neither should "certain elements" in this thread.

Doesn't it seem like, no matter all the opinions on upsells/downsells, hosting, content relevance, etc., that the real problem is finding your blog's content already on dozens of other sites?

To even have the remotest chance at ranking (read getting traffic), it's gonna take some serious hands on: on-page SEO plus lots of backlinking, isn't it? Nothing 'auto' about the OPSEO, although the linking could be less of a chore.

Nonetheless, just the thought of seeing that duplicate content all over the place just chills me to the bone.

Martin, no offense buddy, but you came on here essentially bashing a program that you never bought yourself at the time, then you go onto write a review on your blog about a product that you never bought or tried yourself (and stating some factually wrong things about it that even reading the sales page could have prevented), and then when some viewers of this thread point that out to you, you apparently then say that you then bought the program AFTER writing your blog review and then write the review above almost immediately.

I don't think that's really a fair assessment when right off the bat you came in attacking something you never tried yourself, as well as stating facts wrong that even listening to the sales page would have prevented. I don't want to get involved in a debate here, but you have to see how that's not exactly fair.

As for duplicate vs. unique content -- all the content on APB is written by APB's U.S. based writers (and good writers at that) and individually spun to read better than any spinner I've personally seen out there where you can't even tell it's spun, and gives each post a good degree of uniqueness.

From my personal testing (and I have tons of actual SEO clients and tons of my own sites to back this up), as long as the quality is good stuff and you follow other SEO best practices, even duplicate content by itself isn't a big deal. But when you have a certain degree of uniqueness to it, it doesn't come off as some crap blog that no one can read and is just meant to get ranked.

I have several top ranking sites following this exact method and can tell you that some of the big SEO factors, which are also taught in all the training on APB, has to do more with the keywords in the domain name, the title tags, the blog post titles, etc. as long as the content is good, has a much bigger factor than a lot of the other factors that people think are big.

And having a way to get unlimited blogs and quality articles right off the bat for a cheap one time price for the sheer convenience of it all isn't a bad deal to me. That and you won't find places offering all the videos, free webinars, etc. included in that kind of price, and I honestly think it's a hard to beat deal.

One of the methods taught in the first webinar, which can give you an advantage using the APB blogs, made me quite a bit of money off of only a 15 minute blog post with no other forms of advertising. Anyway, to each their own, though.

- Brian

Could someone tell me how these blogs are monetized?

Thanks!

Steve

Actually, this is explained in several areas including the training videos. You pick from any of the four categories: marketing / business, health / fitness, general consumer, or ones with a mix of all three.

But having said that, I believe at some point this week there will be a new option of getting keyword specific content like "dog training" as a free upgrade.

- Brian

Martin, you had a blog post that I saw up around the same time (looks like you removed the link to it now, though...) that you started talking about this product, and then after that fact you wrote that you hadn't even bought it yet in this very thread.

Only awhile later did you say that you'd buy it and test over the weekend.

Either way, I stand by my view that $37 for essentially unlimited blogs and unlimited top quality articles with built in promotional materials is one of the best bargains out there, but obviously everyone has their own opinion on any matter.

- Brian

Randellz, you might be mistaking a couple features of APB. If your sites are slow to load, that's probably due to your own host and not us. Years ago we had a hosting feature, but we switched those over and encouraged self hosting with a new APB tool and new features in it.

The content you get also depends on the keywords and niche that you're in. I would suggest e-mailing the support and asking for clarification on that, as they'd be happy to help you out there.

And also, getting the content and sites up won't make you money on its own -- you need to monetize them, which APB can help with but won't do on its own. There's also a 60 day money back guarantee on it all as well.
