    Auto blogs are not really worth it. Auto blogging is like spinning articles that loses the uniqueness of its content and would eventually result to spamming. If you are going to search it on Wikipedia, you will be referred to see Spam blog.

    Autoblog still can make money if your traffic from FB or twitter. For FB think fan page with 10.000 - 100.000 member or more, post your website link on your fan page. You get the traffic and some of them will click your ads.

    Just provide quality contents for your reader and don't waste your time with autoblogging.

    If you are not convinced, go ahead and try it.

    I know I'm gonna get hatemail for this, but I've had success with autoblogs.

    The key is how they look; if it's junk content, it won't work.

    If you organize it will, and integrate real content, then it can look sexy.

    WPRobot is the best in the market and you need to get a niche that is not competitive. My site for example, kitchenappliancepackage.org gets 53 page views/day using WProbot and AdsenseAutotube

      Does it allow you to make self-populating tube sites, pinboards, image and video galleries, magazine-style sites with featured images (post thumbnails)? Does it allow to parse non-standard XML feeds like this or that?

      Is that site using spun articles? I know that google doesn't allow Adsense to be used on auto blogs because they want high quality traffic for their adverstisers.

    Yes and quite a bit, 2006-7ish
    Strategy-wise just threw out lots of it with adsense. But like others have said here, forget about it. It's not that you cannot make money. It's just that it is not a very good business model plus the whole idea of it is just absurd... the web would be much better without them.

      I have a huge authority content site with articles and photos that are picked and used by professional companies as well as other bloggers.

      It is very easy to tell which comments are computer generated and which articles either stolen or and or spun because of the way they are mangled with nonsensical synonyms.

      If it is a short comment and someone wants to leave a link on my blog that is in a related industry and the comment makes sense I use it.

      If someone uses my content and enhances the premise of the site or article I frequently expound upon that for them.

      But as a general rule, when it comes to auto, there needs to be a human editor between the spun article and it's use.

      Just my 2 cents.

        They will probably suffer a lot when the next panda or penguin update comes. Nevertheless there are currently people making money...
        like 3-5$/month. It should make sense if you have hundreds of such autoblogs.
        I think that's called splogging.

    heck no my brother, AutoBlogs are newbie traps. Theyr'e a great way for an experienced vendor to exploit incoming IM freshmen. I was caught in the trap 2 years ago and wasted about 5 months before releasing my auto blog wasn't going to make any money , didn't provide any useful information *even though I had over 3,000 syndicated posts from the auto blog system i was using* and lastly had 0 traffic except from bots and so on...

    lesson to be learned son, STAY VERY FAR AWAY FROM AUTOBLOGS...
    hope this helps

    Autoblogs are useless these days because the plugin will post duplicate content on your site. After Google launch their Panda and Penguin update, autoblogs are dead.

    Yes, as it was said above, stay away from autoblogs. Learn the content automation concept (self-populating sites) which rocks in the post-Panda days.

    Auto blogging will ruin your reputation and you will make Zip from it. Google won't rank your site and you will just waste time and money.

    Best to write the content yourself and really the key is to provide useful and helpful content.

    Remember: People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.

    You people don't know what you're talking about. I still make over $3k per month in adsense revenue with my strategy.

    I use the Content Revenge autoblog plugin. You build a 10,000 page autoblog. You get a list of Google Suggest keywords. Have 500 of those pages post out into the future at 2-4 per day. Hook it up with a google plus account - this gets thousands of pages indexed within 10 days of building it.

    I do NOT monitize the autoblog - no affiliate links or adsense because if you do that the whole site will get penalized and lose all its rankings within a week of building it. (Because Google hates affiliate and MFA sites).

    So after a week or two the autoblog is usually getting 50-100 visitors per day, sometimes more. I then redirect all the human visitors to a different "white hat" quality adsense site. I use a cloaking/redirection WP plugin called Clickbank Magic Pro. By the way, this also reduces the bounce rate of the autoblog to 0%. Google likes this.

    Let me explain what redirection is. When a visitor clicks on your page in Google or Bing/Yahoo, they are automatically redirected past your autoblog to the website you're redirecting to. The visitor never sees your autoblog.

    And the subject of the autoblog and the adsense site are the same. You want to pick a big niche.

    I have the visitors land on a navigation type page on the adsense site. It's not a good idea to just redirect people to a page that has adsense on it. Google might not like that and your adsense account could get banned. (There are other variations of this part of the strategy).

    The adsense site will then average $5-$15 per day. Sometimes more.

    Unfortunately, the autoblogs end up getting penalized and lose all their traffic. But it usually doesn't happen until the autoblog is 2.5 months old. But it only costs about $19 for the domain and the autogenerated content.

    Do i make more than $19 in adsense in the 2.5 months it's running? Yes - a whole lot more than that. You can easily make $1000's per month doing this with multiple autoblogs.

    Now here is what you guys need to know. If you're building MFA (made for adsense) sites or sites with a lot of affiliate links on them (Amazon, ect), Google is on a mission to penalize your site. If you build those kind of sites Google just doesn't think that you offer anything "unique and valuable" to the web. Your site is the middleman and it's not helping the searcher find what they are looking for.

    So ultimately you are doomed unless you are building ecommerce/dropshiping sites where you are actually selling your own product. So if you are trying to build a high quality affiliate site and spending money on SEO your site will eventually get penalized and it will lose all its google traffic.

    Meanwhile i throw up a $19 autoblog and it makes me hundreds of dollars before it gets wacked by Google.

    So yes autoblogging works if done correctly.

      So yes autoblogging works if done correctly.

      Also, my autoblogs never get penalized when Google rolls out a Panda or Penguin update. But like i said, usually around the 2-3 month period they do get penalized and lose their traffic. So it's some kind of Google update but i haven't figured out what it is yet.

      I just started adding authorship to them (Google plus account). Perhaps that will keep them ranking and driving traffic longer. Have been adding other things to the autoblogs to make them seem more like an ecommerce store too.

      And i never have to build backlinks to them. Just a couple social bookmarks. So they are Penguin proof.

      They just rank for a ton of long tail google suggest keywords all by themselves. And the content is machine generated crap. The Content Revenge plugin takes snippets of content from other sources on the web and links back to them.

      Due to the fact that SEO has become so unpredictable lately with all the updates, i don't think i would ever build an authority site and put tons of time, money and care into it - if you're relying only on SEO traffic.

      Even if you have the greatest site in the world, there is a big chance it's going to get hit with some future Google penalty and then all your hard work is down the drain. Not worth it.

        This is the answer why your autoblogs get penalized. A machine generated crap is not something that will make your visitors to stay at your site longer than a couple of seconds. That means your site has a cosmic bounce rate, which is one of the most critical factors for Panda which doesn't care about your content, but it does care a lot about your visitor's behavioral.

        Solution: make your visitors to stay longer and even bookmark your autoblog. If you do so, your autoblog will never be penalized.

          My visitors to the autoblogs are automatically redirected to another white hat quality adsense site. On page factors for the autoblog are irrelevent since the visitor never sees the page - they are redirected. My bounce rate is almost 0.

              Nope, as soon as the visitor clicks on a page of your site they found in Google or Bing/Yahoo, they bypass the autoblog entirely and are redirected to a different "quality white hat" adsense site of yours. You choose where to redirect the traffic within the plugin.

              The visitor never sees your autoblog. But the search bots stay on your autoblog. The redirection plugin i use for this is called Clickbank Magic Pro.

            How could it be? If your sites redirect visitors to some other place, their bounce rate must be about 100%, which is a red flag for Panda.

              Bounce Rate: When visitors click on your listing in Google or Bing, stays for 1 second and then hits the back button - The visitor did not find what they are looking for and then google hates your site.

              In my example in previous posts, the bounce rate would effect the white hat quality adsense site - not the autoblog. Because as soon as the visitor hits the autoblog they are redirected to the white hat adsense site. They never see the autoblog. And if i made a good quality adsense site the visitor will stay an acceptable amount of time.

              So when it comes to the bounce rate, Google will be measuring it against the white hat adsense site not the autoblog.

      I use the Content Revenge autoblog plugin. You build a 10,000 page autoblog. You get a list of Google Suggest keywords. Have 500 of those pages post out into the future at 2-4 per day. Hook it up with a google plus account - this gets thousands of pages indexed within 10 days of building it.

      I do NOT monitize the autoblog - no affiliate links or adsense because if you do that the whole site will get penalized and lose all its rankings within a week of building it. (Because Google hates affiliate and MFA sites).

      So after a week or two the autoblog is usually getting 50-100 visitors per day, sometimes more. I then redirect all the human visitors to a different "white hat" quality adsense site. I use a cloaking/redirection WP plugin called Clickbank Magic Pro. By the way, this also reduces the bounce rate of the autoblog to 0%. Google likes this.

      And the subject of the autoblog and the adsense site are the same. You want to pick a big niche.

      I have the visitors land on a navigation type page on the adsense site. It's not a good idea to just redirect people to a page that has adsense on it. Google might not like that and your adsense account could get banned. (There are other variations of this part of the strategy).

      The adsense site will then average $5-$15 per day. Sometimes more.

      Unfortunately, the autoblogs end up getting penalized and lose all their traffic. But it usually doesn't happen until the autoblog is 2.5 months old. But it only costs about $19 for the domain and the autogenerated content.

      Do i make more than $19 in adsense in the 2.5 months it's running? Yes - a whole lot more than that. You can easily make $1000's per month doing this with multiple autoblogs.

      Now here is what you guys need to know. If you're building MFA (made for adsense) sites or sites with a lot of affiliate links on them (Amazon, ect), Google is on a mission to penalize your site. If you build those kind of sites Google just doesn't think that you offer anything "unique and valuable" to the web. Your site is the middleman and it's not helping the searcher find what they are looking for.

      So ultimately you are doomed unless you are building ecommerce/dropshiping sites where you are actually selling your own product. So if you are trying to build a high quality affiliate site and spending money on SEO your site will eventually get penalized and it will lose all its google traffic.

      Meanwhile i throw up a $19 autoblog and it makes me hundreds of dollars before it gets wacked by Google.

      So yes autoblogging works if done correctly.
      Wow, that's actually pretty brillant. I have enough domain names lying around that I can do this with.

    I concur on that, because I'm using the same strategy for years. However I don't like the "autoblogging" term. It's so... 2005. I prefer to call it content automation.

    Anything with the word "Auto" in it should be avoided for long term business building.

    Once was a day when you could make good coin with auto-blogs, and like various people have said already, if you have a good stream of traffic - that's not coming from Google - you might still do well.

    But the bottom line is you're wasting your time.

    In my experience go for quality sites. Love them, nuture them and most important, post lots of good quality material to them.

    Doing this you won't have so many cash streams, but you will have a business that has a chance of staying around a while and making you some proper money.

    The internet is a marathon, not a sprint. Things you do well today will earn money and work for you, for many years to come.

      Panda and Penguin have had no effect on my autoblogs rankings/traffic.

      The purpose of an autoblog is to REDIRECT VISITORS TO A DIFFERENT HIGH QUALITY SITE USING A REDIRECTION PLUGIN. You can redirect hundreds of visitors per day. Sorry some of you guys still don't get it.

      Autoblogs never got hit by Panda and Penguin. But sometime around the time the Penguin update came out another unanounced update came out. It goes like this. If you put adsense on everypage/most pages of your site or if you put an Amazon affiliate link in the nav bar of your site (so it's on everypage of your site), your whole site will get penalized and lose rankings within a week. I've seen this pattern on tons of sites.

      There is a filter at Google that "sniffs" this pattern out. Some people mistakenly believe autoblogs were penalized but actually ALL sites that have that monitization pattern are getting filtered out ot the serps.

      See my above post on how i avoid this.

      And again, you're not supposed to monitize an autoblog. You should redirect the traffic to a white hat quality site using a redirection plugin/script.

      Autoblogs are a traffic generation method.

        Does this concern the Amazon plugins that are sold on here!

        I have used one on a couple of my sites for quite a while but never made a sale?

        I would say the plugin i use is also an auto blog method.

        What is actually the deal with duplicate content?

        The vendor i bought the plugin from stated that duplicate content only occurs if the content is used on the same website more than once!

        Content pulled from another website, in my case Amazon is not duplicate.

        So what is the true answer?

    Yeah, fair point, although I consider what you're talking about to be very different to an autoblog.

    And even then...

    I've had a couple of autoblogs, and one that actually made a bit of money ($50 - $100 per month) but ended up feeling pretty guilty that I was significantly contributing to what I consider to be spam on the internet for $50 a month.

    I know that there are plenty of people out there that would say I should have just taken what i had and replicated, but I just couldn't. Didn't feel good about it.

    It'd be interesting to see how the sort of site that you're talking about will fare in the coming years if they become easier to make and simply become "autoblog 2.0" type deals.

    I'll know that has happened when I see a WSO proclaiming them as the next untapped way to make a million bucks in 5 minutes.

    I reckon, just like everything else that has been abused, that Google will eventually come crashing down on them.

    But i'm no SEO guy, and you clearly are, so i'm prepared to be wrong!

      Please find a few links here: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7368287

      Those are just examples (a proof of concept) but not the actual sites. I mean they all use default (not even best) WP themes and look not as nice as they could be if I spent a day on customizing themes for every demo site, as I do with the real ones which are not for exposure on a public board (I don't want someone copy my ideas)

      P.S. Yes, I need to spend a whole day to create a good self-populating site, because I don't use anything (especially WP themes) "AS IS", so every my site has an unique cool-looking design.

      P.P.S. I do not steal content. All my sites use only legal content which is allowed to be copied.

    Autoblogs - and I mean autoblogs as in "auto content blogs" - are worthless.

    However, an autoblog store where you drive traffic by other means than SEO can definitely work and does work, whether it's selling plr ebooks, videos, or whatever.

    Many WSOs sold are some form of autoblog, but store related. Like anything else, you need to drive traffic. Harder to do that if you rely on SEO, whether to a store or content autoblog, but let's say you have an autoblog store and you include an original content blog section to that store, that can definitely work out for you.

      Best bet is to open up a new adsense account using a LLC and rent a mailbox at the UPS store near you.

      Also, you can use Bing/Yahoo ads. You can sign up at: Media.net

      I did apply with one of my good sites but was rejected. They seem to be a lot more picky than adsense. They want you to be already getting tons of traffic to your site.

    I built one with pure syndicated content and hooked it up to a 20,000 follower twitter account.

    But if you're going to try this note that you may need to check Google's current adsense terms and conditions because I'm not sure whether they are OK with this or not.

    It is different for everybody, it really depends on for what are you using an AutoBlog.

    Autoblogs can be used for two things either as your primary source of income i.e you want to earn from the blog itself or as a secondary source for some of your other website.

    1) Using an Autoblog as your Primary Income source and earning from the blog itself
    If you use an autoblog thinking that you will directly earn from it then it's a waste of time because your autoblog will contain spun articles and all such sorts of things, and if suppose you set up adsense ads on your autoblog then it could be harmful for you for lifetime because adsense keeps on checking for unethical blogs and will block your account and IP and you wont be able to put adsense ads on any of your blogs.

    2) Using Autoblogs for some other Website that you own
    If you use an autoblog for your website then its of great use. Like if Suppose I do it for my website, I have a micro jobs website named crunchgigs.com so i setup an autoblog which posts new articles everyday and i share those articles on social networking sites and gain traffic from them and I post a banner on my autoblog that acts as an ad posted on a blog which then transfers the targeted traffic to my website. So in this way i benefit alot for my Real website and thus saving the advertising cost.

        Sir, the properly made self-populated sites (autoblog is an obsolete term) is even more Google-friendly after the latest Panda updates.

    Autoblogs are still useful. You need to mix the scraped content with original content to produce the best results. You can't just turn on WP Robot and scrape content like crazy. You need to select the right content for your autoblog, then include some original content. I don't create autoblogs because I prefer to make websites that stand the test of time (and Google updates!), but I know a few marketers who still make money from autoblogs. You just need a good autoblogging strategy to stay in the game.

    Huh? How are autoblogs dead? This is new to me. Oh, wait, I forgot, they aren't called autoblogs anymore, they are called "content curation" sites.
    OP, don't believe the hype. It depends on what you are autoblogging andhow you are doing it (mashups vs. copying someone else exactly).

    I would stay away from them, with all googles updates you never know if your site will get wiped out or not. Stick with orig content and just keep adding it.

    As mentioned above an auto blog store is a different matter.

    Right now,autobloggng is the best strategy to make money.
    Moreover,if you syndicate your posts to social networks via bitly url, you will have traffic from google,even if you autoblog will be banned.
    So,you invest just 10 $ a year to domain and create autoblog,wich will have thousands of pages,posts, and even if it will be banned,you will have traffic from yahoo,bing,and google,but from bitly urls.

        @kaizerinfo; can you explain me how I do that syndicate my autoblog content via bitly url??
        So when google banmy autoblog I still get my traffic from these bitly urls?

        And does the bitly url traffic convert when its not coming from google or is this only social traffic from diggi,stumble and so on??

    The whole purpose of a blog, or any site, should be to provide genuine value to the end user. Real, vibrant, thriving content - unique, and carefully created.

    I've yet to see an autoblog that offers something the end user would want to use. They tend to be vile and ugly imho.

    Googles Panda/Penguin updates have shaken up everything, and more than ever unique content marketing will be key for a sites ability to draw on free Google traffic.

    I'd focus on creating a portfolio of unique blogs in high potential niches. Get this right and aside from the revenue streams you can open, you also have the potential of creating a massive payday, sometime down the road, by selling it.

    Hi,

    now I triy the rss multi importer plugin,newest wp version and twenty ten theme.

    It does not so work. I can only add one category in feed to post settings, my other categories are not shown after I clicked save settings-nothing works.
    I go to feed to post settings, scroll at the buttom, who is add another category, select my created another category, then click save settings- after then nothing is, it only shows my first category it add no more.

    What is the problem with this plugin?

    My dear, the wp-o-matic plugin does not fetch google news rss, I search in google news on my keyword, than scroll down the result page and click on that rss icon,open a new window I copy this url and put it into wp-o-matic and wham, it shows mass error like; could not be parsed.

    Does any marketer here ahs this problems to build an autoblog?

    Hi,

    I see that here in example the wp-o-matic plugins does not accurate work, it means it pulls many muddled content who has my keyword in the content, but has nothing to do with the topic they are unrelevant.

    With an unrelevant autoblog I think you will get lousy ctr under 1% on your white hat adsense site,please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Best is as autoblog curator, hand picking the best multiple sources for your topic and manually put in your "autoblog" with backlink to the source.
    But this is time consuming when you will build lets say an 5000 page autobblog in a month or two.

    This is more semi autoblog than complet autoblog.

    I had quite a large number of auto blogs made within the mage system, somewhere around 200+ blogs in total, most used to make some nice AdSense and eBay earnings, but Google totally wrecked them! I think may be four five are still doing quite well but they've no longer got their auto plug-ins in them.

    I had to get rid of them because of all the e-mails I get it from people wanting to take their links off, of them as I had opened them up to blog networks.

    I just couldn't see them working now. So it's a resounding no from me.

    all these free plugins like wp-rss multiple feed plugin, wpematico,feedpress and so on, does not good work, its "BS", in most you can not set the word length the feed should show in your post or set unlimited fetch and so on, and so on, unusable.

    You must have an plugin that has unlimited fetches every 23 hours, and shows max. 120-200 words of the feed you will fetch, not 22 words or so.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the tip. I will test it. But always on anyone some tutorials they write; set up mx. 5 feeds/articles a day so you not on bi G foots or so, what a lie.

    When I configure to fetch max. 5 feeds/articles each day, all other older articles/feeds on my blog are deleted, it show only daily 5 new posts, sou you blog has always only 5 posts (for each category).

    With this you can not build an huge content site. You must set it to unlimited to have new content and all the older posts on your site.

    Impossiple kidding is that these "set max. 5 feeds/articles per day" lol.

    But can I set the word length of the articles? Important I don't want articles shows only with these "22" words exerpts that is "BS".
    Does it shows link to original source at the end of each articles?

  • This shop is not a big affiliate autoblog site. Look in the footer of the page under "Partner werden." And also under "Impressum" to see what kind of a team is needed to run such a site. It belongs to the "Axel Springer AG". That should tell you enough.

    There is no way you can do something like this with WP and a couple of plugins. It´s more like these large prize comparison sites and they do the programming for their software themselves.

      I have an autoblog that has been running for 2+ years. It makes me about $100 a year and is monetized via adsense only.

      The blog took me 15 or 20 minutes to build using an autoblog tool that I paid for and actually contributed ideas too although not voluntary. Whole other story there.

      Anyway, I have not been able to duplicate this sites success.

      I have built a total of about 25 or 30 different blogs using adsense to monetize. Most of these were 1 page sites. Most of these sites were original content. About a handfull were built using the exact technique I used to build the site that makes me 100 a year.

      Some of my sites made more daily than the 100 a year site. However they burned out fairly quickly.

      I would really like to duplicate the success of this 100 a year site about a thousand times. However as of yet, I have not even been able to duplicate it once.

      Hi,

      @affiliate survivor; thanks for your better recherche than mine.
      Axel Springer says it all, they stay over the lawyer rules in germany (big zionist).

      But this is an autoblog, look at this, they has no own original content, they had only product title and image than link to the shop-amazon,zalando or something.

      In my eyes this is an affiliate store/ comparison store.
      I know to build an amazon store or comparison site but only for amazon or walmart, not for some more big germany shops only amazon.

      But is an amazon affiliate comparison autoblog worth to make money with? I don't know.
      To build an amazon affiliate comparison site there are enough plugins there.
      In germany there are a few plugins yes but they are high cost.

        Yeah CyberSEO - but you will not be cashing as much at your ATM as people who post 100% original content in long form posts. No way - no how.

        Google has hammered autoblogs and unless there is 80% original content on every page, you won't see squat.

        We used to make a few thousand a month with autoblogs and that has dropped to to a paltry $150 a month. Yet the real blogs with 100% pure long form content are doing by far the best at $13K-$14k in slow season and $18K-$22K in hot season (spring summer fall).

        Autoblogging is nothing but hobby level now - if you want to make really good money you better start writing LONG and HARD.

          That's totally wrong. Google has hammered ALL blogs, but not just autoblogs. Look at the SERP's for any keywords and what will you see there? Wikipedia, YouTube and tube-like rich media resources as well as various shady sites like torrent trackers etc.

          Do you know why it happened and what new Panda algorithm is about? It happened because Google don't care about your content anymore. It can't distinguish the quality content from the non-quality one because it's just a stupid robot. Thus Google decide to go the easy road. It evaluates your visitor's behavior to rate the site.

          In other words if people like your site (visiting it regular and spending a lot of time to browse it), your site will be #1 for Google. If people don't like it, your site will go to the Mariana Trench of the Google SERP's and nobody will care if your content is unique or not.

          Why you guys can't understand this simple thing? Those who learned how Panda works, do really big money on anything (blogs, autoblogs - it doesn't matter anymore).

          I tell you a "secret". A lot of people do much more on their video channels at YouTube. Others do even more using free to redistribution media content on their self-populating sites (I wouldn't call them autoblogs because they even don't look like classic blogs as we used to know them since 2000's).

  • No, it´s not an autoblog. It´s not a blog at all. An autoblog scrapes content from different sources and turns it into webcontent. This is a comparison site with a script to filter out products on numerous aspects. Their script does something totally different than an autoblog plugin.

    With Axel Springer I meant that it is a big media concern. They have many websites likes this and they do not make autoblogs.

    Forget about the idea of making a site like this. This is far out of your reach. Even these expensive plugins (Affilinator.de for instance) do not come close to what their script can do.

    I used to autoblog and at one time sold an autoblog system, and back in those days it worked well - that is over now. We only create long form detailed content and that is what really pays for us. One 4000 words post will make more money than 8 five hundred word posts now. Just try it. Write a really long post on any one of your niche sites, wait six months and watch what happens.

    If you want to blog , make sure its quality content, unique content and more importantly your own content.
    There is nothiong wrong with taking articles or snippets from other sites and giving the link to the full article, but make sure you are discussing the content of that article.
    In my opinion it will only generate low valu trafic if any , nowadays people are looking for peoples personal opinion on matters

    What about using the autoblog as an auto idea generator. Set up wprobot to auto blog for images or video only and hold it in draft. Review the what is auto generated, write some content to go with the image or video (unique because it is on the fly out of your head content), and then post it live. True this isn't auto anymore in the sense of sit back and relax, but my guess is this would avoid google dropping your ranking. Thoughts?

    Auto-blogs are not the way to go.

    I would post a new one each day on my own and make it original. You can add your own content or you can have someone write it for you and you could be the one to add it manually.

    Don't waste your time with auto-blogs.

    My autoblogs works fine even with the google updates. What I did is to limit the number of blog posts each day. Maximum of 3 posts. Beside this, the design of the blog play a part too. The key is to lower the traffic bounce rate

    I would go the way of posting unique content on the site everyday instead of auto blogs. I don't think auto blogs work the same way it used to anymore.

    It doesn't much matter. Most autoblog prey on people's greed. The appeal of working very little to make money is a great one; and autoblogs give the illusion of this potential. So, they will keep selling and buyers will keep ending up disappointed.

    If you are happy with bringing NOTHING to the web, so be it. That is what you have with an autoblog, something that might as well not exist. It can really serve to help nobody out but yourself (in general). So perhaps getting ripped-off on an autoblog is what you need to realize that you're not entitled to make money just because you paid money. You have to work and provide a benefit to others.

    I built about 30+ of them a year ago and made pennies. I eventually ended up losing my adsense account afterwards.

    it all depend on your traffic sources. i have an auto blogs for news in my country. most of the sites i pull my content from have poor on page seo. although im autoblogging from these websites, the content generated on my site rank higher than the source website. google hasn't penalized me and i don't care of they do.

    if you are autoblogging in a particular niche like weight loss, it might not work but autoblogging for something like news, daily trends, tech gadgets and news, football hilights will definitely work.

    Forget about autoblog...it will not help you much as it don't give you the value of the blog. Just blog what you know and all about your interest. It is like sharing your personal experience...make it simple...people will love to read your real life experience and not make up story.

    Honestly, I feel 50/50 about auto blogs to generate income. On one side I feel as if they can be very useful and good but on the other hand I feel like they tend to get super spammy. The best advice is to create original content and you will have less short term success but more long-term success.
