I wanted to run a website that will be automated in everything, but I do not know of a way to do it. What's the best possible way to automate a website or a blog? Would it be via RSS? Anybody can guide me here?

Yes one of the best ways to have automated content is through the use of RSS and posting it to a blog. Some programs that do this are rsstoblog and blogtorank. They are expesive at $247 so you must be ready to use them or else they will collect dust

Yup.. rss2blog is a choice program for automating your blog. When it comes to site creation there are a few tools out there. The danger of using these automated site makers is that you are likely going to have a few hundred/thousand others using the exact same tools that end up getting killed by the SEs.. ie. Traffic Equalizer. Blogs are much better because by their very design they are expected to be dynamic.. rss is expected to be syndicated.. and duplication is expected... remember that blogs are just websites too.. only with a different type of management interface for them.

There are a few 'new' tools I know are coming out soon.. if you are going to use these tools try to find a software maker that guarantees only selling so many.. and/or expect your software to work well for you for the 1st 6 months you got it.. the alternative is to pay a contractor to make your very own and don't let anybody else use it

Hope this gives you some things to think about in finding an automation tool.

Hey JonathanLIVE,
Can you give us some insite on what to expect with these new programs and their capabilities?

Anyone else have dreams about blackhat websites??

Jonathan might know alot more than what he's telling us. I'm w/ BK, would love to know more about these new programs, wouldn't hurt to ask would it?

BlackHat, I also noticed that you listed 2 programs. Have you ever used them and how good are they?

i used rss2blog.i am happy with it.

Rsstoblog works good, I have not used blogtorank but both are simliar in features. If you get Rsstoblog it takes a couple days of getting use to...After that just start cranking away

Hi all - glad to find this great forum.

Does anyone know of a good place to get RSS feeds for programs like rss2blog? Are there any RSS feed directorys?

TIA

What subject are you looking for? You can use google and yahoo news feeds. news.google.com/intl/en_us/news_feed_terms.html
You can also make keyword newsfeeds from google and yahoo. Look on that url and their should be a link to create your own feed if you'd like.

Thanks jizeem that sounds like what I'm looking for. If I replicate the content from google or yahoo on my site do you think that the google gods will punish me in the serps or pr?

Tons, not if you run them through some form of markoving first, then they get all scrambled up and aren't duplicate content then. Or even just mix and match from a bunch of different feeds. Valehrus Scraper for Niche Creator does this very well. You'll have to do a search, am too lazy atm to dig out the url's right now.

I think upwards of $200 is too much to pay for it. Is there anything cheaper?

I'm also interested in something cheaper.

Has anybody made money directly from the blogs fed with rss2blog content? or is it mainly used for blog and ping?
