Stop with the auto blogging!

    People you have to stop with the auto blogging tools. This doesn't work. Not only does it lower your overall blog's quality search engines such as Google penalize you. It's called a Google Slap. Look it up. Also no one will visit a blog that is automated because it low quality. If you look at my blog Geek Com I keep original content that ISN'T auto blogged. Anyways I hope you choose not to use automated blogging tools.

    Basically it's an automated system that posts blog posts to your blog automatically when you tell it to.

    I had a friend who did this... First he had a well growing successful blog. He kept pumping out quality content, and then one day he heard of automated blogging system plugin. He tried (note he had a PR of four) this plugin and his websites traffic/page rank drastically changed for the worst. His website page rank dropped to one which obviously shows Google slapped him. Then his visitor count gradually declined to less then one visits. I'm not going to try and convince. You choose.

    What tool was your buddy using? Was it quality posts or were the posts garbage?
    Ther are a lot of factors that go into traffic and PR.. so just saying that auto-blogging killed his PR and traffic may not be the case.. it may have been the tool he was using.

    Disclaimer: Right now We are generating all of our own content and haven't looked into auto-blogging much yet..

    Autoblogs sucks anyway, usually they are made for adsense or some webmasters use them as their link farms. But i'd say that, either way, autoblogs are useless.

    I don't think so. Although we don't like reading autoblogs, people can make a good revenue out of it. Certainly, It's one of the easiest and best way to make money blogging.

    Autoblog works if you do it the right way. It can also lasts for years without being penalized by Google. Most importantly, it depends on what kind of content you post on your blog.

    I know a lot of autoblogger post junk content to the blogger blog as well as wordpress.com blog. They use translation tool to translate the original english article multiple times (eg spanish - chinese- english) to make it unique, most of the times, it produces unreadable content but unique from google eyes. This is also unethical as stealing other people content to make it unique but never give credit to the owner.

    Some ethical autoblogger post article from articlebase or various other sites like amazon, clickbank, ebay, which is fine and nothing wrong as they are not stealing content but rather syndicate it via RSS and share it to the reader. Some creative blogger diversify their content with video and images as well which great as it give more value to the reader and at the same time increase the blog stickiness.

    Just like in everything else in life, there are some people that make money by putting out a quality product and cashing in on various income sources that last, and some people just want to make the a quick buck with as little work as possible.

    People who auto blog will never know how much money they can really make by having a quality site that other companies want to do business with. For them it's all about manipulation and tricks.

    This is nothing new in every aspect of life. We all have friends that never commit to anything and are always bouncing from one "hot new thing" to another.
    This is no different.

    I used to get upset over it, but when I look at people struggling because they won't do the work, or happy with $50 a month, I don't even think of them on the same level as real webmasters and web publishers. The aren't. Yeah, they may make a little here and there, but any of us make 5x's that on one site just by doing a little bit of work.

    Autoblogging product feeds is one thing...the affiliates make it available to do so, but autoblogging other peoples content...those aren't webmasters, those are people dabbling in the web that just happen to know where this forum is.

    There is a difference

    People who autoblog other peoples content to populate their website full of ads, are no different from DVD pirates, and people who sell fake watches and knock of purses and pass them off as real.

    There are a lot of people talking nonsense here.
    "Autobloggers get penalized by Google" or "Autobloggers get their Adsense account banned".

    Complete NONSENSE!
    I run over 150 autoblogs for about 2 years now and make good money with it.
    Never get penalized, never got my Adsense account banned!

    If you guys use extreme blackhat SEO technics on your blogs and let clickbots click your Adsense ads, yes... that may be the reason to get both banned. :)

    They do work, but they take a long time to mature and they really aren't worth it. When you put love and care into a blog, that's when you'll really see growth

    Auto-blogging is only as good as the person using the tool. I use it and love it. I have the tool pulling from multiple rss feeds and pulling the full content. However, it saves everything as drafts and when I do not have time to write something I have a decent selection to pick from.

    Do not brand auto-blogging tools as not working. It is all in the tool and the user who uses it.

    I recently purchased a niche blog with an autoblogged plug-in. I'm very new to this so it's been interesting reading so many different opinions on the matter. As for me, I think I'll go ahead and create my own unique content and love on my site a bit before looking at other options.

    I have an already 2,5 years auto blog. This blog brings about 250-300 Unique each day (google analytics) but it just seen these numbers when it is 2 years old. So, auto blog does works but it takes a lot of times to see real traffic coming to it.
