GA has been awesome. I am targeting different keywords and creating new campaigns in WPRobot for the words that are bringing in the most traffic. Also on a different site, same niche, I am creating articles and videos targeting these keywords to grab more of this free traffic.

I have my own products that I am selling so I won't be using any CPA offers. My goal is to drive traffic to my squeeze page and create backlinks.

I downloaded it from here. Use WAMP and everything works perfectly. The blog is posting automatically to Twitter and TweetAddr is finding the followers. It runs day and night in the background on my computer. I have no had ANY accounts banned.

I have autoblog as well. And I got my 70++ pages indexed by google. It is not really hard indexed by google, what hard is how to increase your SERP Position. DOesn't really matter if you have got 10000++ pages indexed if you are on page 70.

I agree. I have never had a problem getting indexed. What I found is that by interlinking the blogs and doing SB blasts for each blog increased my rankings. I am going for long tail keywords and so far I have been getting decent traffic.

Really interesting case studies, would love to hear update from you DisavowedKing.

How many page you got indexed now and what kind of offpage seo you have done? r u getting nice traffic?

I am looking into autoblogging, this thread has been great advice. Just hope that none of these blogs get sandboxed though, because increasing their PR seems to only be possible through using bh programs

Nice thread. It helped me with running my autoblog.

are you guys using same software?

I want to post some autoblogs too, do you need WP, or can you use DRUPAL?

Also is it good for offering CB offers on sidebar?

I am also interested to know how to pull YT videos to start my autoblog. I have a keyword domain which is not getting so much results as I have a info domain. Maybe if I start using YT it will help me a lot

Traffic is good to my squeeze page. Conversion could be better but considering that I am doing little to no effort with the ABs after setting them up I can't complain. I believe that some of my blogs finally got sandboxed, which I am okay with. The reason that I am okay with it getting sandboxed is because I know that if I keep up the same amount of posting and work eventually I will come out and be better and stronger. Plus because this is a VERY long term project it will dramatically help after it gets out of the sandbox.

Right now I have 613 backlinks to my Squeeze Page (according to Google) and one of my ABs has 1800 pages indexed (according to Google) Times that by 50 and that would mean that I have approx. 90,000 pages indexed. Not to shabby.

Sandboxing is not a bad thing. It just means that Google sees you are rising to quickly and puts a stop to it. When you come out you are stronger and better than ever.

I am using WPRobot (which is awesome). I don't think that they have a DRUPAL function. I am not offering an CB products because I am promoting my own product. So the answer would be YES it is good for putting offers in the side bar. I don't know how well they convert because I am building an email list at the same time and marketing to them later on as well.

I don't know if using YT will help you more or less. I use both articles and videos. This is because most people like to watch videos and because the articles are what get indexed. Look back to the beginning and see the free software that allows you to auto post articles and if you keep reading you will see the free software that allows you to post videos.

Interesting post I will follow your progress and maybe start an autoblog myself.

What about creating a proper blog in wordpress with a sticky post on the front and pages with proper content and support it with an autoblog. Has anyone tried that?

.....I was able to download a free auto blog software offered here to BHW members. It is called Auto Blogging Software by WebMagnates.org

The software is pretty amazing. After setting everything up and inputting all of the RSS feeds I created over 2000 articles that had been translated three different times. The content is not very readable but I am going to be putting a pop-up on every page so I am not too worried about it.

After posting all of the articles, activating all the plugins, setting everything up and tweaking the theme to what I wanted everything is done.

I then submitted the sitemap to all the major search engines and installed Google Analytic's. All in all it cost me about $12 to do.

anybody here who uses this software and is able to tell us what kind of PR theyve achieved with it over time and how quickly?

im interested in creating a PR4 / PR5 that i can 301 to sites of my choice....

could you please explain how do you get traffic is it through organic search or any thing else what is the traffic strategy

hi, i've subscribed this thread, because i am running auto blogs too, i am using WP robot, but i want to find another great tool for content gerneration, do you have any suggestion? thanks.

Same as above..

I've been trying to find a joomla or wp article spinner.

I am not sure what you mean by support it with an autoblog?

Right now most of my AB sites are PR0-2 with some inner pages a PR3

Organic search. Basically a "set it and forget it" type mentality with ABs.

UPDATE:

I wanted to give everyone an update. I have checked the amount of leads that these two networks have brought me since I've stated with the first AB on 09AUG11.

Here is a break down:

5212 - Visits
3 Minutes 42 seconds - Average Time On Site (The site is four pages)
93.21% - New Visits
43.91% - Bounce
2923 - Opt Ins

So that's just a look at traffic.

Now lets take a look at sales:

233 sale at $4.82 = $1,123.06
305 subscription program* at $98.28 = $29,975.40

Total Sales = $31,098.46

Cross Promotional Sales From Same Leads = $13,873.34

Total Profit = $44,971.80

*(The subscription program was a 30 day free trial that was included with their purchase of $4.82. This is the amount of times that the subscription program billed. Some people cancelled before they were billed and others were billed several times.)

All from a "set it and forget it" Blog Network.

Questions? Lmao

Have you been able to replicate these results?

Actually I have been able to.

I do consulting work for about 30 different clients. Once I saw the results that I was having I quickly started testing out different things. Such has how many blogs needed to be in a network to be effective and what if any foot print I was leaving for the big bad G. Did tests with 5, 15, and 25 blogs in the network.

We also then did tests with running two different networks Network A - 5 blogs interlinking to each other and to the squeeze page and Network B - 5 blogs interlinking to each other and linking to the same money site but now linking to any blogs in Network A and the results were pretty much the same.

The only difference that I found was that the more blogs you have increases the amount of traffic, increases your back links (with keyword diversity), and obviously increases your sales. No adverse effects were found from the blog networks.

I attribute this mostly to removing any footprint as much as possible.

You're doing some great work here! Awesome journal!

It's amazing that in a few short months Panda has already elevated what we expect from the web. There's still spam, but how soon we forget what it was like before.Right now we're finding ways to beat it ! Thanks for this interesting post

Awesome thread, profit looks great, even too good to be true. Keep up the giid work.

interesting thanks for doing this testing

It's a system that has parameters. You can always work within them AND outside of them to get what you want.

When I first read your comment something about it pissed me off to no end. Seriously bothered me enough that I recorded a little video. Now that I have re-read your comment I realize that it isn't that bad but still I like to prove my point.

OMG, I will definitely try this autoblog thing. Awesome results.

Thanks guys for the positive responses! If you haven't had a chance to watch my *proof* video please do so. It took me about a minute and a half to make and I HATE wasting even a little bit of time

The best thing is that since it is my own product, everything is delivered automatically online, my only cost is Merchant Fees. God I love the internet!

Awesome. Did any of your blogs get hammered in the last few weeks from some of the deindexing of networks and minor panda updates?

Are the sales you generated via the pop-up optins you had on the blogs? or

Did you have any of these blogs linking to your money site via blogroll or something else such as banners

None of my blogs were deindexed. If you do it properly they shouldn't be. I believe Panda targeted the big blog networks.

Sales are generated from the pop up, exit pop up, and a few other tricks.

Some keywords linked directly to my money site. Also on a side note my money site is just a squeeze page. Some orders didn't happen THAT day but through an email auto responder sequence.

Reading through the thread I can see that you have changed up the method a bit since you started - at least in terms of plugins used. Here is my recap as far as I can tell (please correct me if I'm wrong)

1. Get blog, theme, basic plugins
2. Use WPRobot - add in keyword targeted contect and videos set to post frequently - also have this content spun using TBS api
3. Add Opt-in pop up and set-up responder series for your money site
4. Add some comments to various posts using SB
5. Do SB Blasts to your autoblogs to build some backlinks
6. Keep doing blasts - throw in some xrumer and social bookmarks
6. Set and forget

Did you tier any of the linking or just focus all links direct to autoblogs

There isn't an opt in on the pop up. Just a banner to click on and go to a squeeze page site.

Thanks all guys!

I started my own auto blog network with 14 free blogs, 6 bookmarking sites on weontech

Daily, find articles related with keywords form ezine, go... spin them, schedule post, bookmarking & RSS scraper. Everything is automatic with total fee 15$

First result: main keyword (on money site) go from page #3 to #1

Continues update and try something new with my auto blog network.

The only thing that sucks is that wprobot has so many errors when trying to get content from the article sites - the curl 7, curl 22 and curl 23 errors make it almost unusable

I thought about autoblogging. I am mostly concerned about duplicating too much content. I think I would rather set it up so more like scheduled unique content along with scraping content from the web. I am concerned about copyright too. I don't know how to give credit for content via autoblogging.

Great job man! Very nice results.

And I have one question, how do you sending your traffic to squeez page.
Are you using only banner on every page or the banner just popup when user visits your site ?

Really interesting case study. Keep us updated

There's a free autoblogger for wordpress or blogspot blogs:
webmagnates.org/abs-promo/bhw.html

You can edit the content, mix in your own content, etc. before posting to your blog

You can tick a checkbox and it will link back to the source of the content pulled in - i.e. give credit to source automatically

I've only had the software for a few days and still playing with it on a test site - but it looks good so far

I regard this as more semi-automatic rather than full-blown autoblogging

I used to be a big auto-blogger - but found true auto-blogging posted a lot of junk to my blogs

Update on traffic after penguin?
