    Hi everybody, this my first post after long visited.
    I've made a semi automatic website, this is my website:


    This my first experiment in auto blogging based on wordpress cms.
    The contents captured from various website (feeds and amazon), and from my own articles creation. These are the pluggins installed on my WP:
    • All in One SEO Pack
    • Amazon Link, Insert a link to Amazon using the passed ASIN number, with the required affiliate info
    • Caffeinated Content for WordPress, Automatically generate content. The options panel holds registration information, the Write panel holds the meat and potatos of content generation!
    • Conditional CAPTCHA for Wordpress
    • Easing Slider
    • Google XML Sitemaps
    • Kontera ContentLink
    • MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer
    • Related Posts by Category
    • RSS Auto Submit
    • SEO Smart Links
    • Simple Social Bookmarks
    • Simple URL Shortener
    • Tweet old post
    • TypePad AntiSpam
    • Wickedwpposter, This plugin automatically sends your new posts to: Twitter.com, Tumblr.com, Delicious.com and Diigo.com
    • WP-Cirrus, A 3d javascript tagcloud
    • WP-PageNavi
    • WP Amazon Ads, Integrate Amazon ads on to your posts pages and make money with Amazon affiliate network.
    • WPBook, Plugin to embed Wordpress Blog into Facebook Canvas using the Facebook Platform.
    • WP Plugin Cache, File caching utility
    • WP RegEx Replace, This plugin will replace regular expressions in the final rendered WordPress output.
    • WP Robot 3, Automatically post content
    Please suggest me how to select channels for my adsense, or what the best cpc program , or any program referral program should I chose. And any idea how to drive a massive traffics on to it ? ;)
    Thanks for your honest opinions.
    Reciprocal links with appropriate categories (photography, gadgets) are welcomed.

    Thank you editorsbox. That's crossed in my mind, but then I'd preferred with text linked because someone said it has better score on SEO on-page optimization.

    Yups, you're right. The age is 6 months, then I abandoned it for so long since I had nothing to do with the website.
    The previous website not regarded photography thing as the main topic. And since my interest is taking pictures with my old nikon, then I decide to redesign the website and added photography. I delete previous Wordpress, theme and the database to a fresh one. So here it is, my first semi auto blog.
    Yes, i'm using wprobot, but not automatically creates articles. I pause the crons.

    Well I think you achieved what you are going for. But you can make it a full blog, and make changes to improve it.

    Thanks Maaone. It's from a free theme, but I made some changes to its styles. I use css3 on some element, easy slider pluggin for frontpage gallery, some custom widgets and some hacked on its php scripts.

    I'm afraid google will kick out my site for autoblogging :d
    But to make sure they dont kick out the site, I make a prevention on robots.txt.
    I think it works, so far google indexed all my articles.

    Change the favicon to something other than Wordpress.. Header could look a little more better.

    Thank you totaledge.
    About the favicon.. it's my WebBizz favicon, but yes it's seem like a Wordpress's. About the header, I still wonder the design would be. Maybe next time I'll change the backgound and make the background image bigger. Thank you.

    I must say this is a nicely designed and functioning autoblog.

    I'm not sure Google Adsense have any conflict with autoblogs, please check with them first as it may get your adsense account banned.

    Try to install WP-Unique to stay clear from Copyscape as well.

    Nice info netyards... I have put these lines on my robots.txt :
    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /wp-content/cache/
    Disallow: /wp-content/themes/
    Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/
    Disallow: /wp-admin/
    Disallow: /wp-includes/
    Disallow: /wp-login.php

    (someone may need this)
    But...
    I'll try to find out WP Unique can do. At a glance, it seems promising. Thank for the info.
    So far, with my robots, I have no trouble with adsense.

    Can I know which hosting are you using to host your autoblogs? Also, how many autoblogs you have currently?

    I used to have 60+ autoblogs in Hostgator which got my account shared account banned.

    It is advisable to get dedicated if you plan to manage several autoblogs.

    perhaps randomize the byline.. admin, admin, admin is kind of obvious. :)
