Depends on what perspective you have. As a user it's without a doubt bad, you search for something only to find a crappy wordpress blog filled with useless junk. It's a degrading (for the web..) experience. However, if you're an affiliate with hundreds and thousands of blogs - it's just another way to make money.
depending on where you look. if you only looked at in terms of seo and internet marketing, this course will be very useful and facilitate your activities within berblogging, because everything will become more compact. but if you are a true blogger, you certainly will not like it.
Well I would not recommend to use autoblogging at all as you will loose your personal from your blog and this way u can never create a group of loyal readers.
if u have a good page rank you can go for auto blogging .........or if you have a new blog with out go for auto blogging
Auto blogging has it's good points and bad points. One thing though, page rank is not dependent at all on whether the blog has auto generated content or not. Face it, the more blogs you have, the more you will want to automated the process. Bottom line is this....if you want to have a blog or a bunch of blogs set up on auto, go for it.
If u was busy man I think auto blogging is good idea..for more good how if u try to creat manual blog.
It is definitely bad if it produces a spam blog. If it produces a humanly readable and enjoying blog, it is good. If you think about it this way, it is a true time saver for the one owning the domain and a true benefit to the web. They can be made to give credit for every single article pulled.
It is what you make of it, it's handy if you have 100's of blogs and just want to generate indexed pages, a rewriter is very helpful and a free plugin.
The post above is the strongest and truest answer to the OP's question. Ethics and morals fall in execution. Practically, all industries seek out new in ways of making their processes more efficient, and often will invent aides to help them in realizing their ideas. This leads to inventions that automate certain tasks. Think about it. Guy needed to travel 400 miles in a day... invented the automobile. 90% of Google, Yahoo, Cnet, Wordpress, Digital Point, the Internet... is automated. Autoblogging is applying automation to information collection and distribution. That being said, you can use tools to hurt peoples feelings and in that phenomenon is the moral and ethical part of the argument.
Machine are here to make our lives easier. Autblogs fill that purpose well. I have found that you can mix human content with machine content. Surely this is the best for all concerned. If you want, it is possible to divide it up on a autoblog and do both. I guess then you would call it a "semiautoblog".
normal auto blogging is ok, but if you are trying to put ads with autoblogging, then it is not a good idea.
