noob question: how you edit the header and footer elegant box template to be same like your create*backlink dot info domain?? can share the template code??

Even if you put 10 content adsense blocks on your page, only 3 will hold actual ads. You are allowed to have 3 content boxes and 3 link units + 2 search bars on any given page.

Just put it between <p class="something"></p> tags and define the style in the stylesheet/css

Couldn't say it better myself, thanks for the great info.

@Malachute. I agree with you 100% BHW, has inspired me from day one,
and it is all because of Members like YOU. I think I have hit the thanks button on at least 3 of your posts in this thread.

This NOT only is a method, but it is basically spoon feeding.
The only thing that the reader has to do for himself is find a niche / market
Here is a bit of advice.
Keep a paper and pen handy at all times...I MEAN IT...ALL TIMES.

Imagine you're a baby and question EVERY object you see. Write Down those questions
and research them on Market Samurai. As Easy as that. You WILL Find LOTS to auto blog about.

Hi thank you so much for this thread its got me started into autoblogs. Im starting from scratch her, so this is all new to me. Can I ask, ive set up my wordpress blog, and ive added the plugins. Im up to the bit about getting your feeds. For this purpose I used yahoo feeds, put in my keywords and it brought up what I thought was relevant feeds. I copied the url into my feed list, and decided to fetch the feeds. To be honest the posts that it fetched are not really related to my keywords?
Do you think I done something wrong here?
Also, when it fetches these posts, does it only fetch the beginning of the post, not the whole article because when I check on my posts it only shows the beginning of the article. Is this right or should it be posting the full article?
Ive also been reading a tutorial on youtube and the guy suggests that you should create a post custom template and permalink back to the original article. Is this the way you do it, although I cant understand why you would send them to his article to read the article. Hope this makes sense.
Oh sorry I got 1 more question, ive got the magazine basic theme, I thought it looked a good layout, and although its a basic black and white theme, I figured i could change colours on it later. I cant figure out how to change colours of my theme, can anyone help me out here please?
Thanks

1) Always make sure the feed you are fetching actually is a real website in your own niche. I'd also check Google reader and check there for specific keywords to get some ideas where you can pull content from.

Find some full content fetching yahoo pipes and use them to grab the full content of the websites. (just do a search - easy to find)

2) I always link back to the original article. That, or you should rewrite the article with a plugin. I've had some blogs not getting any pages indexed because they weren't rewritten or didn't had a linkback.
Make sure to use the name of the website in the post template as anchor text and not the post title, as that will increase their ranking for those keywords (title).

3) Edit all the stuff on how your theme looks in the appearance -> editor

The stylesheet holds all the design/color aspects of a website so check there and do some experimenting with different colors

To find the stuff you want to change. Check the main index.php file for the div tags with either the ID's or the Classes and adjust those values in the stylesheet.

That's not a noob question. Most beginners won't even check how many searches a specific keyword gets and just start a blog in the make money niche. And because most of the software are inaccurate you should always focus on 1000+ searches a month. If it doesn't have an exact value, don't go for it unless it is an upcoming niche (something like a new TV or something)
I've been on #1 spot for some keywords which supposedly should've bran me thousands of visitors alone per month, while I was only getting about 30% of it.

Did those keywords using Google Adwords keyword tool. It's so darn inaccurate, you would want to throw your pc out of the window.

Great thread Malachute!

Ive added thanks there Malachute, youve answered a lot of questions for me there, now to go through it all and put it right.
Thanks

Hi malachute,
Following your steps, I have reach the 0nlywire portion and registered 10 0nlywire accounts.
When I go to the /Services of each account, I saw that there are a total of 33 social sites that you can register.
So for the 10 accounts, should I registered each with 33 sites which mean I will then registered 10x33 = 330 social site accounts ? ..sounds tough..

But do you think it will attempt to post to all 33 sites for each account of every new post made ?

Code:

 .. Onlywire will only post five times in a day.

For the above statement, if the standard plugin only post 5 times a day, for each time, does it post to all 33 social sites ?

appreciate some clarification on this due to my weak understanding of things technical

Tank u

Thanks for the help!
I have one more question
I read the information about "domain name" in the fisrt post, however I have some doubts ...
Assuming that I want that the niche for my first autoblog is "hair".. I make some keyword research and check that I can't have an autoblog on "hair" niche because have a lot of competition ... so I go to keywords like "hair style", "hair gel" and "hair shampoo" and check that it's easier be #1 on google for this keywords ( "hair style", "hair gel" and "hair shampoo" ) ... so my question is ... the domain for my autoblog should be haironline.com (and have diffrent categories for "hair style", "hair gel" and "hair shampoo") or hairstylegelshampoo.com (and have too difrent categories for "hair style", "hair gel" and "hair shampoo")

Thank you
PS: I hope that you understand my question( my native language isn't English so it's normal that I have mistakes on my post )

For the shadowbox theme, how do you change the background color of the header through the style.css? I'm ripping my hair out since nothing seems to be working.

Dude, extremely helpful post.

I love this site. It is refreshing to get to a place where people actually help each other to Get Things Done, after spending too much time over at DP.

My autoblogging career is starting this weekend :-)

Very detail info , that makes me inspired and start again autoblog

Great guide ...
Thanks a lot!!!

Really really thanks very much.
I hope after reading this I will be able to have my first Autoblog with
the help of this guide.

Thanks for the thread. 1 question if you don't mind.

What do you do to posts with inline backlinks to their site?

eg. ... Nokia makes the best cell-phones...

I'm only giving their website 1 backlink. Autoblogged strips out all the links with the excerpts so you can modify how and where you want the post to link to. Personally I give credit to the original post but with a web 2.0 backlink anchor text. Eg. Linking to a post on techcrunch I'm only using the sentence: read the rest on techcrunch <!links to thread-> and I'm not using the post title as a backlink as that will give them a boost in the SERPS for those keywords.

Just edit the post template on how the credit sentence looks like. (can show mine on request)

you use an autoblogger with a rewrite/replace function

What an Awesome Thread. Thanks for all the information.

I'm going to start autoblogging now.

Great thread,I have got many tips,and will build it step by step.
Thanks again.

Great Thread, Thanks.

I have one question.

With these articles that your posting on your site with auto blogging, are these all article that people have giving permission to re-post?

What I am trying to ask here, is, why are you not running into problems with copyright infringement using other peoples content?

Thanks
Jamie

Would anyone know of a good piece of software that lets you manage all the blogs from one point I've noticed that time constraint is one of the big limiting factor and I'm looking to automate this a bit more. Thanks!

Perfect guide! I really like it, i gonna use some of techniques you mentioned there. For now i have one question.
I have added my adsense code on first day of run on my autoblog (adsense code was embeded whit in theme so i had do put there my pub-id). Now after month later, i want to completely redesign my autoblog, and remove adsense for now (going to add it later). Would that be good idea ?

Btw im probably doing something wrong here coz i get only around 10 - 15 visitors a day, i use wprobot to pull articles (rewritten through google translate) and content seems to be unique.

You didn't mention how often you post and about ping services. Aublog post update can be very frequently and will ping on every update. It's that okay ?

Just one question though, why is it that the post names are directed to the original site when it gets clicked?

This is true when using wp-o-matic.

Is it just me or is this just the way how wp-o-matic works? Coz i have UAW and they all work fine.

Would appreciate feedbacks on this one.

Hi again,

Doing my monthly check up on the forum :P I've only been active here for a short period of time until I learned everything there was for me on autoblogs. I'm still around so if you still have any questions, please post em

Just us the post template which you can find inside the options of any autoblog plugin. Do something like this:

%content%

All credits go to the original writer, found on: <a target="_blank" href="%link%" title="%title%">Nokia Phones</a>.

That should just about do it, you shouldn't need any other plugins that link for you TO others websites. What you can do is install SEO smart links , which makes inside post links to your own posts for some extra 'seo'. lolz

Old post, not sure if you tried it already. 0nlywire sends you a report once a post has been submitted to all the social networks you entered your account login info for. Meaning if you entered all the account data into every social network, theoretically you should be able to get 5 (onlywire profiles) x 5 (posts) x 33 = 825 backlinks per day. That's not what I'm getting though, or would want to. I'm more interested in facebook - twitter and some other big ones.

Check the post out once again and check the mail I keep getting from 0nlywire. Hope that helps.

PS: I hope that you understand my question( my native language isn't English so it's normal that I have mistakes on my post )

Personally I would go for something like a company name, not a keyword rich domain name. For example: I made a real estate website with the name Realjaa (don't link thank you very much...), it's still in heavy development because I'm making my own content generator but the basis is there already.

With all the new improvements in search at Google, you should better focus on making websites that are actually worth visiting rather than uber junk. Might be me, but you gain more authority inside the search results if you go with a company name rather than keywords itself. Think about the future too, in the very far future, searching keywords won't be something we will be doing, but rather ask questions to the search engine and it will give an answer back (it's called semantic web - web 3.0). Wolfram alpha's SE is one example, but it's a bit too early. Google knows this and starts to buy big social networks and incorporate more and more stuff together into one big website that will eventually be your start page in the future. (say hi to Google buzz! - just introduced)

Sorry mate, but I shouldn't have used it for an example. I was having a bit of problems too designing it and just sticked to what I early had

No probs mate. Eventually you outlearn everything in life and those things you used to do don't seem to be that insightful anymore. DP is way low level for me now, while it may be an awesome treasure of information to others.

When I didn't knew shit about blogging, I thought Darren Rowse of Problogger was a good source. Now I think he's just shouting shit to noobs in order to make money from them. He got in there early, and reaps the benefit of unknowing people.

I haven't money to purchase domain and hosting service, so will it effect my SEO ranking and indexing problem? I will not get organic traffic? My third and last question is very important for me and others new members, How many plugins we can use for auto content like WPmixer and WP Robot etc? I have seen video promotion of WPmixer and WP Robot, both looking great for me and as well as easy to handle this. That's why I'm preferring WPMixer plugin for auto contents and I have just 5 to 6 keywords for my targeting Niche so confusion is that how many keywords are important for any niche and how can we enter all the keywords at a time? and I think that's why it called autoblog, just set and forget a maintenance.

I am extremely waiting for precious reply and guidance.

Hi,

Buy a server for 5 bucks a month (I'm with hostgator and their support is suberb, they respond in chats within the minute, as is there server speed/bandwidth etc).

Don't host any blogs on your own computer. But get a server with either a shared IP or a dedicated one and don't place more than 10 blogs on it. If you reached it, just buy a new server account.

Not sure about shared hosting and SEO. It has nothing to do with either I think because Google rates you over what you present them, not on what server it is. But yes if the others on your shared account are fucking it up, you could be penalized as well for being on the same IP and such.

Haven't had any time to test WProbot, but I would only use it for Yahoo answers and video's. You should use other autoblog software for articles.

Means you either did a wrong installation (followed the guide on autoblogged?) or it means you haven't giving 755 premissions. Not sure though.

I never ask to republish their content, you don't need to. You are providing them a credit link and you should make sure you don't present it in a way that it seems you have written it yourself.

If they do sent me an email, I'll take the website down and build 10 more to extract it from their website. I think it's called the GPU licence, meaning you can't take credit for something you haven't made - and with an appropriate credit link you don't do so. So don't worry and steal a long.

Make sure you're website is looking like a real one, I've seen countless of cheap looking website in the same situation like yours. Google tracks everything, if they see your visitors are leaving your website within 1-3 seconds, you get penalized. Meaning you will only rank for long tailed searches which aren't profitable.

Can't say much more about other than that you should verify your website at Google and Yahoo. I'm not having any problems with my new autoblogs.

My tech blog for example has 70.000 indexed pages after 4 months time... and getting about 600-700 visitors a day. Not bad for 100% duplicate content

I let wordpress ping everything itself, no plugin to do that extra or whatever. I have a tech blog which gets about 200 posts a day for 4 straights months now making me about 10 bucks a day (still growing steadily) with 70.000 pages indexed in Google.

This has to do with the plugin. Check the options, otherwise use autoblogged :P

It's WP o Matic for sure.

Think I got all the questions so far. If not let me know

Hi, and what a great post!
I have set up some autoblogs with Autoblogged, but I'm struggling a bit.
Care to make a quick tutorial on how to set up Autoblogged?

Thanx

I second that Malachute!

Seriously you don't need to buy any eBook whatsoever; all the information is already given on the internet and here on BHW. (no pun intended to those selling eBooks, just pointing that out for beginners before they waste their money and give up before even starting).

@Malachute: What you prefer, wpomatic or autoblogged?
I have 1 autoblog that running with wpomatic, its celebrity niche, have 500 indexes on google, but still zero visitor come. Any suggest will be appreciate.Thanks

*could we chat via pm or ym?*

Forget to mention, good posting anyway.
Two thumbs up for you

First of all, I would like to say that Malachute is a great teacher here in this post. It took some learning on my part in making my blog and i am still not finished with it.

Currently I have one auto blog set up and I have been averaging 320 visits a day for the past 5 days. I have found if you follow Malachute's process step by step, you can have the site up and running once you put your mind to it.

Not to discourage anyone, but gathering the feeds for autoblogged is a bit of a pain in the rear end because it is time consuming. It took me 2 days to add 107 feeds. Setting up Onlywire accounts is a charm compared to the Autoblogged feeds.

I have my site indexed at Google and I even have a top ten ranking in google for my site which i am proud of. I can only thank one person for this and it is Malachute. Thanks a ton mate.

Autoblogged for sure, that's nearly the first thing I upload to any new autoblog. When I started autoblogging I went with WPoMatic but it gave me a very bad experience and I actually thought of quitting. Downloaded an illegal version of autoblogged (yesyes) to give it another try, it actually went well I and bought a legal copy.

Not a sales pitch, but wp o matic needs a big update to be honest.

Do your autoblog posts get indexed on their own or do you take hand in it? Do Autoblogs develop a Pagerank on tehir own, over time? Would Autoblogs be a good idea for getting an authority website that you would use for backlinks? Thanks.

What are the optimum settings for Autoblogged feeds? I just got an email saying one of my sites was overloading the server.

How many feeds should you have for each blog and how often to run etc?

Thanks

Mark je bent een held! I'm also in the process of starting to auto-blog, and this posts really helps and encourages me. I can tell you from my own experience that the Adsense set up with 2 table cells next to each other will work really wel, CTR of 20% can be normal.

First of all, this is my first and I want to say thank you for posting this thread. About this autoblogging, just a newbie and I never thought there will be such thing as this until I read this thread, the good thing is I'm on it. I better start downloading the needed tools now and autoblogging, here I come. Good Luck to me.

My onlywire had 46 unprocessed items in the pending work queue in 2 hours already. What should I done? Have I made a mistake? I had taken almost 2 hours to registered to all the bookmarking sites. Please someone help me..

I'm sure that it's mentioned in this thread but who is it best to host your autoblog???

Posting some images for the amount of visitors i'm getting for this month. It's with an .info domain btw on hostgator Not a lot of work done as well - same test blog as I stated at the start of the thread. You can digg up the link somewhere - it's hidden, hehe.





(Click to enlarge)

What I've been doing the past 2 month? Set up about 8 more blog likes this one. They are still maturing though. It's not hard to let the Google bot index everything as I noticed you hardly need any links for them to come and keep coming back.

I believe in creating quality autoblogs rather than massing out spam blogs. I've been reading a lot of crap from others that they aren't getting indexed whatsoever.

A while ago I did buy WProbot (with all modules included) and set up 2 autoblogs with that one. Letting it scrape articles and such, the blogs do not drive that much traffic a day compared to my autoblogged (plugin) autoblogs. Not boasting the plugin, it's just an observation.

Also I had my first legal contact with an website owner in the Netherlands (http://iwereld.nl/), in his first email to me he immediately threatened me with an lawyer and a legal fine for 3000 euro (about 4000 dollars) that I had to pay within the next 3 days. Because I also live in the Netherlands I emailed him back saying that I wanted to talk to his lawyer (attorney) about the blog. He didn't respond back, but because we are in the same country, I did take down the blog by using the htaccess (yes the blog isn't down at all - it is still running if I remove the 2 lines of redirection code).

So what I did to avoid further legal actions was to redirect the blog to another real (not automated) blog. After a week remove the redirection and make sure to tick the ping another blog option in wordpress so they don't get notified whenever the plugin posts.

Settings -> Discussions -> disable: Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article (slows down posting.)

Problem with this is that you don't get anymore trackbacks linking back to your blog, but it won't notify that you link to them, allowing you to continue autoblogging.

thanks a lot my friend. its really a good one. i have few questions if you would like to answer them (thanks):

1. is it wise to use sub domain and create 5-10 sites from one domain

2. does the adsense payment make any difference in case of sub doimain or if i host 10-15 domain on one host as they will have only one ip.

3. now for social marketing do i need to open all the account one by one (thats lots but doable). now since i use fb, should i open different ones only for marketing purpose?


i think thats all i can remember what i was thinking i will ask u.

If you add "nofollow" to the link in template i think u can leave the title of the article and no worries about getting them help in SERPs
Ex: <a target="_blank" href="%link%" title="%title%" rel="nofollow">%title%</a>
What do you say?

Great contribution dude.. you rock...
