Hello, After sometime making this system, i just started putting it online and would like to ask the experts here what do they think of the methodology i am using to make my 2 cents from adsense. Of course, i am aware of things like reblog, feedwordpress and lots others content replicators that can scrap & render RSS from other places into your own pages. But this is not an acceptable solution for me because i want to be as strict as possible to all the guidelines and ToS google might think of. I developed a PHP script (large collection of OOP cross-scripted classes) that do the following: Using 4 different robots (cURL), it monitors different sources such as PRWeb.com, yahoo news, google news, digg.com, technorati, clickbank, commission-junction, amazon and some 8 other services for newly submitted content. Syndicate contents of that news and add it to a database using cron. Search google and make sure that content is not YET blogged at more than 3 places (70% content fails this step) The remaining 30% is ran through a long procedure to determine the best matching category such as (affiliate programs, ebooks, hosting, etc..) and save results again to database Last cronjob logs in to my blogger account and auto blogs a certain entry to the best matching blogger blog that i have (from a predefined list of blogs i have registered) Now, let me clarify things a little: newly submitted content, mentioned above means a lot to the script. The content must not be blogged about already. If it is from yahoo news for example, technorati shall not have it anywhere. If it is from clickbank for example, there must be less than 5 entries of it in google search results, etc.. This way, i am making sure i am not to SPAM the engines. The application as a whole piece have 4 bots and over 100 tests that a news have to pass before it is splitted into categories and auto blogged to my blogger account. All news (from yahoo, google and PRWeb for example) that make it through all tests should never be older than 30 minutes. This has been a hard thing to do but helps much in eliminating unwanted things that are already filling the web. Now, let me talk a little about the results: While all the above seems a little crazy to be done. It is just an experiment. I was trying to make some sort of an automated bot (application) that has like 1000 eyes and can be monitoring all sources of hot news all over the clock. Whenever something new is out there, it automatically makes it to one of my blogger account blogs that i run. For those interested to develop something alike! There are a lot of hidden little thingies that the application does with all those blogs under my blogger account such as cross-linking relative posts. Also, please notice that all the services the application monitors are monitored using the FREE provided API service interface calls. No content is being 'stolen'. Results of all this crap in numbers: Still no idea. As i mentioned, just started officially today and will take like 2-4 weeks till google SE picks up one of the blogs and start indexing everything. I will keep you updated about revenue and traffic from search engines either here or at my blog at abuzant.com (yeah i know, looks out-dated) Finally, the question!! What do you think google will think all about this?! Will they detect that large amount of cross-linked blogs under the same blogger account? If so, should i be afraid of anything at all? Do you 'personally' think i am spamming the web? Honestly, i did all the possible techniques i was capable of doing to make sure not a single spammie entry is ever added to any of those blogs i run at blogger.com - If you are interested, i can tell you that the number of posts added to each blog daily is between 3-6 posts ONLY. This is because of the strict policies that PHP engine has. Please let me know what you think of all that above. The only thing i will not be able to reveal is the blog URL for reasons that i think we both know. Thank in advance for all opinions, Ruslan
I think you have developed an excellent system, and congrats for that. Sounds like it is very useful. What google will think about it I have no idea though, but I guess they wont say much - I've seen so many adsense sites running out there allready spewing out material from other sites. At least your material should be rather fresh and not allready existing all over
Harvesting copyrighted content may harm you. For others you should provide a link to the original content that almost every site requires. The system itself is just fine
Your system sounds like a great application! Compliments all round Regarding Google - I don't think that they will be against your application, or the way you're using it. After a month or two you'll have certainty in regards anyway. Happy Holidays and may you come with more of such great applications in the New year too!
Thanks everybody, as soon as possible i will post some URL' of blogs that are maintained by the application. Good luck all, Ruslan
