My Own Better-Than-Autoblog Script

[Autumn]

Looks pretty sweet man!

Now take what you've got, add proxy support and adapt it for use as a stand alone scraper and site generator for your own targeted niche keywords. Start cranking out hundreds of niche sites a day. $$$

Unless you have multiple IPs and you want to rotate your external IP address with squid etc, you're going to start running up against resource limits - ezine, wiki, flickr all will block you if you start scraping them en masse.

Update: Fuck Flickr
New Bing images scraper in place.
Way better images for the KW plus the speeds are almost half as much as they used to be.

Actually im planning on letting it run for a while, generating a LOT of content and picking up TONS of longtail KWs (things NO ONE searches for and that only exist on my page that way (eg. combination of yahoo question plus a word from the ezine article).
Having 100.000 pages will get me enough of those trash KW hits i think
After it generates a single penny ill sell it

Take a look at the new image scraping

Edit: BTW. You can now enter more than one word per request ("online games", "black hat world")...


Update 2: Images are now safed to the server and resized. also there is a lightbox when you click on the image and it comes up larger

Edit 3: For some reason GoDaddy is letting me down real hard Site is slow as **** right now...

pretty cool idea. not so sure that auto blogging is a good idea though.
but whatever..

Nice project!
cUrl is powerful!

I am planning to make my own tools too, but at this point I have to make my specifications clear, in order to choose between a c# and cUrl/php approach...then I'll get my hands dirty...

looks nic, would be a great wordpress ms "WPMU" script, when a search is done, it creates a WPMS page on subdomain. And it does a few post. Then its a automated micro nisch script.

Much better. I would make the tabs slightly longer around the submit form, because on my browser (Firefox on OS X) the submit button gets pushed past the end of the tab, or even better make the submit button a nice image that matches the theme and looks all web 2.0-ish.

I wanna see a huge adsense block sitting right under that submit form!

I'm impressed with your productivity, you're making me feel quite lazy.

What to you mean if you want to post on a blog?
Its not supposed to post to any blogs.
its a standalone script that generates pages on the fly as the user puts in a keyword.
or
i did not quite understand the question

I would keep the input field and the submit button on the same tab, it's not entirely clear that the image is actually the submit button otherwise.

Maybe you could look in to putting a little bit of javascript onSubmit() to pop an alert box if the surfer tries to click submit without entering anything in the input box, eg. "You must enter a search term."

Maybe ill connect them with an arrow ill think of something cause i like it that way
And yes, the empty search has to be caught.
just as if someone enters "index" (since it would overwrite my index.php in the final script...)

 

[wkrappen91]

Its almost done
All i need now is the index and some minor tweaks in the code...

*Bump*
Its pretty much final now.
I would be happy if everyone could enter a few KWs so the thing gets rolling

Update:
Breaking news!
Automatic rewriting is now in place.
the content that gets shown on the final pages is (close to) 100% unique and i think pretty readable..
Tell me what you guys think.
And.
Does any one know how to get rid of this site now?
It was just a test of programming / proof of concept, and im bored by it now and dont have the time to do anything with it...
Should i list it on flippa? (but there isnt any revenue or anything... just the domain, the concept, the script and the design...)

 

[jdoe101]

How much are you looking to sell it for?

 

[wkrappen91]

Not much
just trying to get my investment + time put in back (1 year of hosting+domain+25-30 hours of work)
so around €150-€200...
Do you think thats to much / not enough?

 

[wkrappen91]

*Bump*
Anyone want this script?
Domain+Hosting+Script+Support when needed.
$300 is my price
Ask me to go lower and i will
Just kindof in need of some float cash right now...
