Hi Fellow Warrior,

I've been itching to do autoblogging for quite sometime. I been doing research and have many positive and negative reviews, comments and feedback all the way back 2009.

If there's any warrior still in autoblogging or had been into one themselves, is it still feasible to get into autoblogging now?

Thank you so much in advance

  • I am not into auto blogging at the moment but I would give you this piece of advice... With the changes being talked about at G having to do with duplicate content don't do it without having your content spinned to look unique.

    • Yes definitely you need to have duplicate content so your site doesnt get blacklisted by G.

  • Don't start any new autoblogging projects until Google decides what it is going to do with scraped content.

    Check out this article before you start doing any auto-anything:

  • Hi Noah and wordpress.seo,

    Thanks for your advice and information.

    Guess the way to go is to make content unique.

    Thanks a lot

    • A lot of people have made money with autoblogging, but in my opinion it isn't good for the internet. I think that, as marketers, we owe it to each other to produce original content.

      Duplicate content just clogs up the net and makes us all look bad.

  • So far it looks like no actual autobloggers have weighed in on this topic. It's easy to wait and wait and wait till we're certain we have a guaranteed success, but at the extreme other end of that path lies endless procrastination.

    Just keep in mind that with autoblogging, even if it's a total bust, you're not losing as much time or money as if you were building totally original sites. And if it's a winner, it's a fast winner.

    Still, I'd also like to hear something straight from the horse's mouth. Will a real autoblogger sign in please?

    Cheers from warm and smiling Thailand,
    Charles

  • There are several "auto bloggers" here on the forum (myself included) and those of us that do it successfully aren't that worried about all the latest Google talk.

    The thing you need to remember when it comes to the Google issue is that they are supposedly targeting spammy sites or sites that offer no value. Just because something is automated doesn't mean it can't offer value, thats not even close to the truth even though the autoblog haters would tell you otherwise.

    If you build quality sites you will be fine. Auto blogging (or any form of it) is just like any other type of IM....find what works for you, regularly tweek and test it to improve it and in the end offer value to the reader. It isn't the same as it used to be a few years back when people were just throwing together sites in a matter of minutes and walking away for ever.

    Auto blogging has evolved over the years and most of us who have had success with it dont just spam the internet with crappy sites...it just doesn't work like that anymore.

  • Don't be an autoblogger if you expect long term success as internet marketer with noble name. It’s nothing more than contents spamming........ crap.

    • People may tend to look for unique blogs with substance and I find autoblog as something that lacks substance that can be found on blogs which were written originally by the author. Blogs with feelings or with spice is obvious especially for those who are fond of reading blogs. So when I started out in this field, I did not use auto blogging as my pilot technique.
    • This is what I like to call a "drive by" post, it's like you see in the movies. Gangsta drives by holding his gat sideways out the window, fires off a shot or two and then drives off...

      It's a hit and run that really offers nothing more than the posters opinion. No supporting evidence, no personal experiences...just his own opinion. It's fairly common to see posts like this from autoblog haters.

      I have no issues with people posting their opinions but at least try to add some value to the threads you post in as well...something more than it sucks dont do it.

  • It really depends on how you do it. Different people may have different opinions. So it will still be up to you in the end if you will do everything automatic or not.

  • It definitely works but a more proactive approach would be to make your articles unique

    • There are many different ways to autoblog. You can mix original content with automated posts, for example. And as one of the posters said above, just because it's automated doesn't mean its necessarily bad or spammy content.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Now, Adsense doesn't even support autoblogs.

    Cheers!
  • Autoblogging doesn't have to mean using crappy spam content.

    For those who think it does, think of it this way:

    Sox are knit right?? Ok, but they don't have to be HAND KNIT to make excellent quality sox. You can AUTOMATE sox being made by using QUALITY YARN in a knitting machine.

    Same thing with blogs.

    You can HAND BUILD a crappy blog OR a quality blog, depends on the materials you use.

    You can HAND KNIT crappy sox, too. If you use crappy materials.

    See?

    • Hi,

      After doing much research and asking fellow warriors on autoblogging stuff, I've come to a conclusion and TLCarroll pretty sum them up.

      In my own opinion, (maybe is wrong to most veteran autoblogger out there), what autoblog does is to put together value content to our blog and drive traffic to it to let our audience see.

      The theory is pretty much the same as if we use UAW, FTS or SLV to put other writers articles on our blog. Only that, the articles/content had to be of value or bring value to the readers.

      We only take out the hassle of writing/outsourcing of content ourselves.

      I still pretty new when come to autoblog even though I've built some niche site before, so I see it this way, good content attract people (if we drive traffic to it and people share the content on social networking) while crappy content will die of a slow death (killed by serps)

  • Am I the early one who thinks it might be a bit early before declaring autoblogs dead thanks to Google's supposed changes? How about waiting a few months, I'm sure enough people will begin to howl if they see their autoblogs becoming useless.
  • autoblogging is good to have good traffic in your site... There are a lot of softwares now do it much faster...
  • all my autoblogs are dead starting a couple days ago waaaaahhhhhhhhhh
  • I think aoutoblogging works well. Advantage of autoblogging is the number of sources available to you to pull content from. The article directories are major source but today, with advancements in content sourcing features, you can now pull content from You Tube, Yahoo News and even Amazon.
  • Hi all respected warrior forumer,

    i guess here is discussing about autoblogging issue. then i read all the thread and post.

    Just to get clarify from you all, how about put an PLR article in a blog, then make it unique?

    I think with a PLR article, we still can make our blog automated...

    Just want get a clarification..

    • I think autoblogging is still feasible, but not within the google serps, using other traffic generation methods such as Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo and Bing are all sources of free traffic, along with article marketing and you tube.

      To many of us get hung up with the google lifeline, its not the be end and end all of traffic.

      We have all heard the saying of dont put all of your eggs in one basket, what would we all do if the google traffic source stopped?

      Think outside the box, because people are making a good income with other traffice source's.
    • Yes, you can use PLR on your autoblogs but be sure to not only spin it but add value to it as well. Most PLR out there has made its rounds across the internet so adding content to it will increase its value for your sites. Your blogs could stil be automated using PLR.

  • Mate - still feasable?

    From what we're doing at the moment - I believe it could be my future.

    Organic Traffic sources and free blogs can make $1,038 a day we have found - to automate that could be done - it is exactly the project True Solution is focusing on at the moment.

  • I pretty sure google is beginning to crack the whip on this

    • Only time will tell but mine are fine so far, then again I build quality sites so I am sure that makes a BIG difference.
  • i think auto blogging is still a great method in internet marketing. Maybe, you only have to be patient.
  • I prefer to do manual spinning of articles than auto blogging. Then i can assure of quality content on my niche.
  • Auto Blogging is not for life time. It's better to use manual strategy.
  • Several months back I decided to try autoblogging and created 3 autoblogs. Till today, my unique blogs have new visitors everyday and the number of visitors have been increasing steadily. Sadly the same can't be said for my autoblogs. Number of visitors was high for first few months than it started to dwindle. Conversion rates not impressive either. I'm planning to add unique original articles to my autoblogs to spice things up...

    • I think you will find that adding some original content to your autoblogs will help greatly. I typically have about an 80/20 mix in my blogs from auto content to unique and mine have grown steadily over the last 3+ years.

      Best of luck!
