    In my concern, after making an autoblog if you make some social marketing then your blog will get promoted automatically :) , but what the thing is you need to spend some time to post the blogged posts from your site to the social network sites such as digg. That should be a good option for making traffic on autoblogs.

    Regards

    An autoblog, or splog (spam+blog), is a blog where the posts are pulled in from other sources.

    Here's how to make a splog:
    • Install WordPress
    • Install WP-Autoblog
    • Paste in a list of RSS feeds
    Total time investment: 5 minutes.

    Now, do that thousands of times. :D

    The process listed above will yield you very little traffic and a lot of headaches.

    Will I am sure this is sarcasm :) because it's hard to believe a guy like you is advocating for splogs ?

    For any newbie who is thinking of buying 100's of .info and installing wordpress and looking to make tons' of money, well let me assure it's a waste of time. I have not done this but have spend enough time in the seo field that I know undirected RSS on your blog can not get you any traffic. If it would have been that easy, everyone would have been using it.

    In short, If you don't know what is splog, than stay away from it.

    I charge for my approach and most of it's not even for sale yet. There are a lot of subtleties in getting any noticable traffic from automated blogs. Yes any site you set up by yanking feeds around the internet will get some traffic but they are hardly worth the trouble and usually cause more problems than they are worth. I literally studied the entire blogging process for over a year so I do have just a bit of experience in the area. After several thousand blog installs I feel confident enough to speak on the subject.

    I generally follow the Property Rights approach to Black Hat SEO. By that measure, splogs are fine. If it's your web site, you should be able to put whatever you want on it.

    Splogs usually fail the Visitor Value test of Black Hat SEO, which I sometimes follow. I recently put up a splog called Rudy Giuliani For President. Does it fail the Visitor Value test?

    Mostly splogs fail the Visitor Value test when they try to get around the duplicate content penalty by employing simplistic algorithms to modify the content which they are re-utilizing. The result is a mishmash of words which does nothing but annoy the unfortunate visitors.

    So, are you two like dirty black hat guys or what?

    Share with me your secrets, if they're not immoral. If they are immoral, well, I hope you sleep well at night. :D

    To play devils advocate here, RSS feeds are making the splog problem worse, making it easy to steal content from genuine blogs. Spam and Splogs are from the same breed. Sadly neither will go away.
