I'm new to autoblogging

The problem with autoblogging is it has a really bad rep and in many cases with good reason, especially the blackhat style autoblogging where blogs are churned out with useless content like yahoo answers etc.

I really should know as I have been autoblogging for about 5 years, back when the mainstream marketers didn't know it existed. Then it was very BH and I wouldn't recommend anyone try those methods now as your blogs lifespan is very short and as it involved scraping rss feeds of sites which don't allow republication of their content it was actually against the law let alone anything else.

If you build autoblogs with the same care and attention you would build blogs there is nothing wrong with it. As long as you use content you are allowed to republish like Articlesbase and keep the author links intact then you are not stealing in fact you are doing them a favor because you are giving them backlinks. I specifically use AB for article marketing because I know the articles will get republished and it benefits my sites.

One caveat here re article directories. Be careful when autoblogging with ezinearticles as they have very specific rules about what you can use in their TOS and have several autoblogging friends that have received cease and desist letters as well as being instructed to remove all their content. They specify quite clearly that you are only allowed 25 articles per year per domain, which is obviously not enough for an autoblog.

The last thing I would say here is use tools that will mix content, ie create posts with content from different sources. This works like gangbusters for me. Avoid yahoo answers content on its own as this is an instant red flag if you get visited by a google human and the sites look awful no matter how nice your theme is.

So if you want to autoblog go for it but do it the right way and help start giving us autobloggers a better name!
