Autoposting content to Wordpress site?

22 replies
I'm looking for a Wordpress plug-in that will autopost content to my site and post the entire article, not just a link and feed summary.

Anyone have any ideas?

I would also like to hear opinions from those that have been doing this with the intent to earn money from Adsense and other ad networks. I'd like to know if it's working for you, what are your best practices, etc.

Thanks in advance.

      Autoposting may seem like a good hands-off idea but if you are not careful, it can come back to bite you. You still need to follow up on these posts and check that everything is correct in terms of spelling and gramar. Sometimes posts are badly written and need to be corrected extensively. This happens especially with autopost software that translates posts from one language to another. Usually, after translation, the sentences do not make sense as the words are jumbled. Your readers will assume you wrote that so it will be your reputaion at stake. Good luck!

        Every translation software I have ever seen/tested sucks...period! I never use it and would advise all to stay away from it.

        There are much better ways to deal with spinning content if that's the way someone wants to go.

    Try Feed Word Press plugin, it allows you to auto poll content straight to post from rss feeds. Right now its about one of the only plugins that can pull post from rss feeds correctly, you just have to have valid feeds with the content already to post.

    For me, I found it most useful for adult blogs and sponsors, other stuff can get a little tricky. But the plug in also comes with a bunch of options to help make sure it correctly pulls the content you want. Using this with yahoo pipes is also common, especially cause pipes can pre format the content in the feed before it even gets to your blogs plugin syndication.

    Wordpress also has an excellent cron file that allows you to schedule posts for future or past dates. Its in the same little section where you create posts, located at the top. I use this for all my blogs so they stay up to date weeks into the future. I prefer this method over the Feed Wordpress plugin, but honestly you can't go wrong with either, try em out.

    No matter what software you use for auto posting just be sure you are checking the quality and relevance of the content it is posting. Unfortunately you will have to do this after it has already posted as I don't believe any of the plugins allow you to do this before it posts (could be wrong there but I don't think so). Some people have reported problems with this using some of the most popular plugins...including WP Robot.

    If you approach this correctly, find what works for you and pay attention to building quality blogs that provide value to the reader it certainly can be profitable.

      The software I use I can skim through the content and upload what I want to upload... but i use mine differently and the actual user does not see my content :-)

      Dont worry about plagerism... keep all links intact and link back to the original article... I have had emails thanking me for driving traffic to their site.

      Duplicate content is a myth... well I have no problems and 100% of my content is duplicate :-)

        I'm curious to know what your using as most of these types of software don't permit you to view prior to posting. Also, what is the point in not letting a user see the content? Maybe I am misunderstanding what it is you are saying or doing somehow...

        Very true...I've gotten several of those emails myself.

        Duplicate content is a myth... well I have no problems and 100% of my content is duplicate :-)
        Once again...very true and very misunderstood at the same time!

    I dont think reputation is at stake...

    I would not build an authority site on auto pilot... but I would build lots of niche sites on auto pilot...

    I add fresh duplicate content for the search engines... nothing else :-)

    Thanks folks for all the wisdom. I appreciate your willingness to help out and contribute to the forum. I've been really learning a lot.

    In regards to the 'why' I asked about this in the first place, it's simply for niche sites only. My intent is to get the niche site to rank well, provide valuable information to the visitor, and then with proper Adsense or affiliate offer positioning, make click and commission money.

    I'm following Spaulding's formula for $5 a day, but I wanted to add other relevant content to each niche site that will lend itself to giving the visitor more information about the niche topic.

    I found this really cool plug-in called 'Keywords To Websites'. It looks very promising and I've only used it on one site so far.

    Hey Rich, I used a plugin from Bill McRea called Massive Passive Profits to do auto-posting on my blogs. It can let create different Amazon, Youtube, and Article campaigns that will auto post on your blog. I hope that this helps!

      Are you trying to post your own content? There are a few plugins that do that including mine. See my sig.

      If you are using it to auto post content from others I would add your own posts also. So for every 4-5 post I add my own original post.

      Hope that helps.

    Mixing in some unique content with other content that automation tools find for you is a good idea. It usually only takes a few minutes to add and it will make a BIG difference on how your blogs perform and rank.

    Good luck!

    WP Robot is hands down the best.

      I keep hearing that....except that it has a problem with posting unrelated content and content that looks spammy or is poorly written. The reason for this is because it is simply based on keyword search and there is no quality control until after it has auto posted the content to your site.

      I have 8 beta testers in my site (out of 49) that have used WP Robot extensively and they have all said this is a problem. If you do some research on it here as well as other forums you will find several similar comments.

      I'm not saying it isn't a good plugin but because it is a plugin it's somewhat limited as to what it can do and quality control certinaly isn't among its strengths.

        Ah, I use it for RSS not for keywords. There was also a plugin I came across called Caffeinated Content, was kinda interesting but I haven't used it.

    edynas new autopress plugin will post articles. amazon, clickbank or your own content.
    It's a WSO and the price is one time fee, and cheaper than most auto plugins.

    I have tried autoblog samurai which has good ability to post contents through rss. It translates the content to specific language and then back to your desired language before posting to your blog.. But for the quality you got to spend some time to avoid grammar and sentence formation..

    But it saves lot of your time.. Automating is good...

    I know of an awesome autoposting plugin by Stephen Pierce, but unfortunately it's only available at live events. If you're interested I can give you details of when he'll be where, etc.

    This plugin can autopost from Amazon, Linkshare, Youtube, Flickr, Shopzilla, Shopping(dot)com, Clickbank, Yahoo Answers, and more. The list goes on and on. It can also automatically use Ping.fm and Social Bookmarking.

    Anyway, if you build a lot of niche sites and you wouldn't mind potentially doing a bit of traveling, then I absolutely recommend you try out Stephen's plugin.

    I believe that your model works and I know of a lot of people that successfully use it. I would give some tips, but I use an Amazon model most of the time instead of ad networks. Best of luck to you.

    Autoblog Samurai is priced reasonably and you have a 60 day money back guarantee. You can also customize the posts before you post them to your blog. You can add from 5 resources also which makes it nice. The training videos are step by step so simple to follow and you can use it with WP or Blogger.
