    yeah, google penalized that kind of blog. If the blog is also hosted in blogger, then google disable your blog and you can view it anymore.

    I must disagree with this.
    Lets say you create a blog. We do keyword research, write our base content to get things going, then do some articles for backlinks to our blog. After the initial setup, you write new content and do SEO every day. For the rest of your life, you will be writing new content, or finding new ways to explain your old content in order to keep your blog alive. You can make a good living, or you could fail horribly. Depending on your writing skills, your SEO, the Niche you are in.
    Now lets say you create an Auto-blog on the same subject as above. You create your domain, post your base content, and set up your auto-blog plugin. Once you have set up your Auto-Blog plugin (Of your choice), you should set it to only grab information from certain sites, and focus on keywords (or keyword strings) that deal directly with your topic.

    Ok, so in the first example we have an ongoing blog that will need constant attention for the life of the website. In the second, we have created a blog that will add its own content from specific sources, which will constantly update itself. This gives you time to do keyword research on another topic, and start the process over. Of course, once you set up an auto-blog, it is a good idea to keep track of how it is doing, and remove any information that is not up to par with your standards. (Most auto-blogs plugins have a feature where you can set it to post information only after you have marked it as approved. Weeding out any clutter or under-par information)

    You write an article about a specific topic, add your name, contact info, web address, and whatever other information you desire. You post this article to an article database such as Ezines or whatever. People go to that site, read your article, and visit your website through your link. Thus, you get new readers.
    Now, somebody builds an auto-blog and pulls your article onto their blog. You say this is like Pirating DVD's, or selling fake watches and purses. First off, Pirating is Illegal, so don't steal boats. Second, if you are posting your article to a free database, you should be including your contact information, which will have a link to your website. If an auto-blog takes your article to post on a blog, it will link back to you, making your website have a higher PR, and bringing you more readers.

    People who auto-blog are not stealing content, they are simply sharing the information that is out there. If you find an auto-blog with a bunch of useless information, or jumbled nonesense, it is because the owner doesn't know the basic functions of the plugin they are using, and it is just flooding their site with junk. These are the auto-blogs that wont make it far.
    In general, if an auto-blogger sets their plugins to specific places for their information, and they check the information every so often, they will have more time to work on other projects, while making just as much (If not more) than the average blogger.

    Auto-blogging is a give and take process to normal blogging. It's a powerful weapon that requires a bit of finesse.

    Do not use free autoblogging plugins for EPN affiliation or you get transparency issues and possible expiration

    auto blog is good traffic for the site it's connected to not the auto blog itself, not all auto blogs are blackhat.

    That isnt always right man..! What do you know about autoblogs? Google isnt here to send you vistors for the duplicate content. I just saw your blog posts, and yeah, Kinda seems funny.. a great way to mislead people to dynamic money.

    It scores at up first, declines then, And ends up in Zero.

    I dont know about the name given to penalizing like Google Slap or Google kick, but they do penalize and keep us out of sight in the search results :)

    It's the dupe content that kills them. If you create a blog stuffed with nothing but dupe content, to a search engine, that adds no value to the web. they call it a 'nexus', and it's pointless form a search engine's p.o.v because... that's what a search engine is for - a search engine is basically just a s general purpose searchable nexus.

    Translating back and forward to try and create unique content will get you a ban nice and fast - it tends to trip the anti-markov filters.

    Unique content is the only thing that will work nowadays, in auto or manual blogs.

    That is not the way autoblogging should be used. If you have a quality and ranking site, then there is no need to autoblog at all. Autoblogging is done not to make big money per site but to make small money in many sites and it is possible only by using autoblogging. Can you just imagine if you have 50 blogs -- how can you personally attend to them?

    Anyone who claims autoblogs are for the purpose of sharing information are being a little delusional...I think that we all know the purpose of them is that they are the ultimate lazy person's "make a few dollars a day" scheme. One thing's for sure, they are not of any help. I've yet to see one that had any helpful or worthwhile information.

    A lazy person wont make any money autoblogging. All efforts take effort from my experience.
    http://www.bestautoblogger.com/ is one of my autoblogs. Content comes from my colleagues sites. Sometimes I turn sales from that site too.

    Interesting about the multi-translation thing. Does this apply in single translation. I wonder? Like finding an article in French and translating to English?

    With regard to how search engines respond to the dupe content issue, using the logical base of search engines wanting people to have a good search experience ie finding as much information as quickly & easily as possible, then the autoblog should be showered with love. Imagine 10 blogs about dog training. Lets assume each will have quality content of a slightly different flavour. If there is an 11th. blog...an autoblog...posting some original content and drawing RSS content from the 10 others, then the searcher will have the best experience on that blog as it has more information and a greater breadth of content too.

    Oh man...
    Let me preface whatever it is I'm about to say by stating that, even though, I'm in fact promoting and providing an autoblogging service through my signature, I wouldn't do so if I wasn't 100% certain that this is a quality product. On to my main point.
    Generally I would like to address the people who are bashing and trashing on autoblogging as a whole. You guys are clueless. Now, it's ok to be clueless, nothing wrong with that, but you know, starting up a new thread and just passing off your misinformed opinion as fact is not cool. Ask around, test it out, experiment but dear god, don't go on about how an idea or concept sucks just because "a friend of your friend tried it out for a couple of weeks and it (surprise, surprise) failed".

    Again, this is by no means a sales letter, so please don't view it as one. First of all, if you are comparing autoblogging to piracy, then frankly, you haven't done your research. A correct auto-blogging set-up involves proper attribution to the original author. As simple as that. When autoblogging, nobody is claiming to have produced the content originally, see it as free promotion for the original author. Second of all, are you guys stuch in 2007 or what? Translating articles? Posting articles from e-zine? Adsense ads? Oh man, autoblogs have evolved so much, you ain't got a clue.

    I can produce feature rich content by utilizing Yahoo Pipes, several video feeds, twitter feeds, facebook feeds, etc. combining them all into semi-unique, informative, simply great, autoblog posts. And don't even get me started about the Google Slap(tm) and not earning money through autoblogging. Yeah, go ahead and employ the same old techniques from years ago and then come over here and start proclaiming how autoblogging is not working. Get real man, the game is constantly changing. I can set-up a cpaleads driven autoblog, content is posted automatically (full length TV shows, movies, games, whatever), content is protected automatically, backlinks are gained automatically (from around 60+ sites), twitter followers are gained automatically. Does it work? Hell yeah. Is it profitable? You can bet on it. Was it easy to figure out? No.

    Nothing worth pursuing is easy. Stick to your splogs and all you will gain is a mediocre result. You have to invest some time into learning how to code (or at least get yourself a competent programmer) and start thinking outside the of the box.

    The moral kids? Stop being lazy and stop dismissing a concept, method or whatever just because you followed it step by step (it will most probably fail if you just copy it off someone) and failed.

    Cheers

    I probably bash more than anyone, but I'm not really bashing the technology or the process...I'm more or less bashing individual auto bloggers. noobs, content thieves, and lazy webmasters.

    Too many people (noobs) hear "autoblogging" and they see it as an easy way to populate their website with free content.

    The common misconception is that you can feed content, throw up some ads and sit back and watch the money roll in. It's disgusting.

    I'm not a hypocrite. I have product feeds set up, and use autoblogging software to provide niche info on a few select sites..as additional info, not the whole kit and kaboodle. Obviously giving proper attributes and link backs.

    It's not the technology that I have a problem with, it's the attitude about how to use it by some that infuriates me.

    Too many people relying on old outdated information and looking for shortcuts. That's fine, there are always going to be people who do things half assed, but I am tired of seeing the threads that act is if using other peoples content as the sole basis of your website is some kind of right and they come up with all kinds of ridiculous justifications about how they are actually contributing to the web.

    This too shall pass.

    Every lame brained bandwagon trend is popular for a while, and slowly as people figure out that they aren't going to make any money this way, they give up, never learn how to really do it and all of these blogs start disappearing.
    Most new bloggers don't make it past the first year anyway. Half don't even continue to update after the first 6 months..so eventually, this fad will go away.

    well i have owned 1 autoblog and i did not have any problems like google slapping or what. Sometimes my traffics spike up to 1000 unique visitors per day. so what you can say?
    for me, autoblog is not dead and if you know how to use it to generate money. the tool could be very useful.

    All of your justifications are about YOU. You will have more time. You can work on other projects. You say nothing about the reader or building a quality website.
    A business is not supposed to be automated. Not a successful one anyway.
    You say nothing about how it is actually successful, adds value to the web and makes money...just that you don't have to actually do any work and can spend more time on keyword research and SEO...come on, how long does that take really.?

    That is a BS cop out and ridiculously misinformed. What is going to make your blog successful is good , original content...not keyword research. It doesn't matter how much SEO you do if the blog sucks or is just repeating info that can be found anywhere.

    You are putting the cart before the horse...putting chrome wheels on a junker with a bad engine.

    The content takes the most precedence...not the SEO.

    If you don't have the time to run a business, then why start it? I don't understand people that get into blogging, but don't have time to blog. Blogging is writing. If you can't write or have other obligations ,then why even start one?

    By your logic, getting the blog ranked is more important than what is actually on the blog. I can't even begin to tell you how ass backwards that is.

    Creating your own content and having it loaded automatically do not need to be mutually exclusive. You can do both. :)
