Autoblogs: Do they generate good revenue?

    Do auto updating blogs make money and generate traffic?
    Obviously the content isnt unique so does your site get indexed by google?

    With autoblogs, it is all about volume. I have some money with it but not a fortune. I just didn't want to push out so many autoblogs to make money I guess.

    thats why I am waiting for the wordpress plugin that rewrites your content.

    Some people have a network of sites and i think they make money.

    how do you mean "rewrites your content" and how would this work? If you are looking for a place to mass test it I would be happy being a guinnea pig!!! :)

    I just have a dozen but I use domains that I picked up expired but were all aged. But honestly I maybe make $100-200 a month - not a whole lot. I could scale it but just doesn't excite to build sites like that.

    i think its not a great idea to used adsense on autoblogs... youll get banned soon or later.. maybe ebay products, or cost per action sites will be ok. anyway, i have never used autoblogs..

    would you buy an already made autoblog or spend your money elsewhere?

    They can if you run them and market them right. The server resources can be kind of intense if you are going to run multiple autoblogs though. Start off with one and work your way up if you like it.

    You have to go volume with autoblogs. And you have to be ready for complaints from the original authors. Its easiest to just take the autoblog down if someone complains. But yes, there is still money in autoblogs if done right and with volume.

    Who said anything about autoblogs being easy? It's just a different type of work. You have to get the volume, while with a manual blog you might only need 1 blog, with autoblogs you'll need a bunch.

    Hi,
    Stealing other peoples content is what so ever illegal!
    Also if you use a rewriter tool!
    you can't get lower. - Stealing what other people have worked hours, days, weeks, years to make.
    These fuckers should get hanged in their balls!

    Taking it a bit too seriously aren't we? :rolleyes:

    I'm also against autoblogs--they offer me nothing as a visitor. Any knowledgeable person is going to be deterred. That being said, good luck!

    Not really. How would you like it if some stranger took something that you worked hard to make without asking your permission?

    You people are overreacting, it's not stealing, it's actually beneficial. There's no way the autoblog is going to outrank the original site, so thats not a problem. And most autoblogs leave a linkback to the original site - so that site is getting a free link. It's not like it's some horrible thing for webmasters. I have someone autoblogging with my rss feed - I don't care, it's free links.
