Anyone Made Money With Automated Blogs?

    Hi Guys,

    As you browse through the Sites section on this forum you can see that it has being flooded with "Automated RSS wordpress Blogs". these are blogs that auto update themselves using news feeds, picture feeds, and other blogs feeds so the owner of the site essentially does nothing while the site writes iself.

    What intrigues me most is how cheap people are offering these blogs for..One guy was offering 40 of them for $60 INCL. .info domain names for all of them. This seems incredibly cheap and got me thinking about whether or not this would be a good idea to purchase. I mean 40 websites for $60...can't do much better then that!

    Has anyone had any luck with these type of blogs and managed to turn any sort of Adsense revenue and if you have what kind of tips do you have to offer to people who are looking to get started?

    Thanx

    I made something like 50 cents last month with my automated blog.
    I really dont know if thats much or less but still it was an achievement
    for me after starting out making 2-5 cents a month :D

    ok $0.5 x 12 = $6 per year
    $40 / 60 = $1.5 per blog

    If all the blogs can achieve $0.5 per month, I think its good enough.
    I have made $0.29 for the last 2 months with my one blog, which I sold, but not changed by the owner.

    I like to calculate :)

    i don't think is a good idea i was at the point to start a whole network but i realized that i will spend time and money for nothing
    however i've set up one of them to see which results it could make...still nothing after almost three weeks

    It depends. If they are set up on a free site, then it would be a pretty good idea (unless you're an internet guru who can make good sites quickly). Really, I know that a lot of the people who set them up just spend an hour or two on it, and then it can turn into free money over the course of the year.

    How can 50c a month be good enough? Its not worth the effort and honestly automated blogs are a sneaky way of creating duplictae content cloggin up the net with garbage. They dont really provide any value at all.

    If you want to make money then uniqie content is where you should start.

    I bought three earlier this year. They all produced clicks. Only one is still producing clicks. They work beautifully though.

    I've tried, but very little success (if you can even call it that)

    i forgot to add that the whole thing depends on which niche u've got
    but i still think that is not the best idea to invest money and time in it
    if u said 50c a month is pretty good i guess u are willing to set a whole network not just 4 or 5 of them
    well i think you need to give this a try by urself and set one or couple to see how they are doing
    good luck
