Autoblogs typically generate very little traffic from google because there essentially scrapers. IMHO your time is best spent developing unique sites.
Acytually you might be amazed how much traffic some auto blogs are getting, with some attention and overcare some are generating 40$+ / high traffic days. (But those are highly studied ones)
hmmm, I have started some blogs for a few month ago and 1 of them already got PR2 now just by promoting them and put fresh content into them each day. I don't have Adsense on them or anything, since I use them for my own internal network.
Perhaps, but a very small percentage of them. Most webmasters think they can slap up some wordpress blog with an auto gen rss feed script and expect to be earning money with them. The attention and overcare you refer to can be dedicated to any website. And if was a choose of developing a scraper site or unique site, I know which I would be choosing in the long term
Actually what you are talking about is not what i mean by saying Auto Blog RSS feeds are the worst you can do, becaues it makes you a copy of other websites. I am using other softwares not rss aggregators
How many hours/week would you say is needed to put into the marketing of each auto blog in the beginning?
That depends on your purpose and desugin of the blog. It can range from just an hour setting it up at start, to about 7 hours/week
failure at this time to play in adsense, because most of us have not been the focus, perhaps if we can focus and commitment in managing the blog, must be successful
