There's a lot of software out there which can, in fact, cause people to register as visiting your website.

That's all this traffic software promises.

But that's not really what you want: you want people to visit your website, see your call to action, and take that action.

What you want is not what the software promises to deliver, so even though the software is doing precisely what it said it would do, it is not going to give you what you want.

So no, it is not a scam. But no, it doesn't work, either.

It puts articles on your site that get indexed by search engines and they show up in search queries and people click on them.

This is precisely what would happen if you just wrote the blog posts yourself, or bought them from a content writer, or invited a guest blogger to write for you.

But the idea of this variety of autoblogging software is that it goes out and gets articles that are ALREADY ranking highly on the search engines, so you get GOOD articles.

What it does not exactly do a very good job of is making sure those articles are relevant to your site, that they match the core message you want to present, or that you have permission to post them in the first place.

All of these things can get you in trouble. The first one with Google, the second one with your audience, and the third one with the author.

So you don't get to fire up the autoblog software and walk away while it churns out content onto your blog. You have to check it frequently, verify that the content it found won't upset anyone, and schedule it to be posted.

Oh, and as you may have noticed: organic search traffic is not a lot of traffic. You still need to generate traffic in other ways, too.

I agree with CDark there is a certain amount of work that you still need to put into these auto programs. I myself feel like to do all the work myself just because I like to be in control.
