I am thinking of starting a new web 2.0 blog and implementing the autoblogging plugin from Wordpress, but I am not sure if these actually work. Has anybody actually started a blog and made money through the autoblogging plugins?
you get a hundred article and you just stay in your sofa or your bed. sounds great! but never perfect. in google eyes your blog look like a trash. having duplicated content and posting that many article everyday. so? nobody people wanna go to your site. you just get trash traffic. but it have diffrent story if you wanna selling blogpost and blogroll, just install the plugin and buy some traffic(just $14 you get 10k visitor). this is a black hat way, you get some money but your site gonna bad and possibly banned in google.
That is why I feel like autoblogging sites are nothing but crap, they influence laziness and take away what it truly means to be a blogger.
Autoblogging does suck, and it creates crappy websites with duplicate content. You will never have an autoblog and have anyone say, "Man, that's a good blog!". If you don't want to blog, then don't start one.
Let me just clear up ...I don't think that every one who uses some kind of autoblogging or RSS feed to populate content is bad...sometimes it's good. News aggregators are a good example (cause I have one). It's all the news of a certain niche in one place and it say's what it is and everyone is credited for the content. But just populating a whole blog with no original content is kind of weak and I think it is less and less a way to make any money now that it is so saturated and there are so many of them.
