Case Study - Beating Panda With An Autoblog

[DisavowedKing]

I tried ABS and it has disappointed me totally for the following reasons:

1) It create garbage in terms of content

2) My niches has many videos. I am directly taking rss feed from my competitor website. They have videos inserted in their post. Instead of posting video this software is posting an image of the player

3) Also it is not deleting text like Admin, post date, comments etc etc from the Original website. Hence it is looking too spammy with double admin post details and date of posting.

4) The only good thing is that the software was easy to install and within 20 mins I could post my first post. But I had to delete that since I am not making any experiment with my site.

@OP Did you find any youtube plugin? It would be helpful for me to just post videos on Ab and write the content myself. Would make more sense in my case atleast

Cheers

1. I completely agree. It does create garbage content but it allowed me to proof my concept. Which was the goal. Plus I sorted out exactly what plug ins and how to use them.

2. I am pulling directly from an article website and only an article website so I am not having this problem.

3. I was able to use the function to grab the article inbetween the tags that I wanted. Problem solved.

4. It is a very simple and easy program. I don't like that you can't delete the articles that you have already published to your blog or the articles that you don't want to publish to your blog. There isn't a really good sorting feature or anything along those lines. Biggest downfall in my opinion.

5. I did find a YouTube Video plug in that was free. It is called WP VideoTube.

Here is a link to the website:

http://www.wpvideotube.com/

Once I switch over to WPRobot and TBS it will write articles and videos at the same time. Also as a side note, WP-VT allows you to add an image underneath the video. I am doing this with a link to download a free report. I am starting to get some good traffic from this. Also I have a pop up and an exit splash on the page as well.

I have used Greg Jacobs Mage software for about a 16 months now, though only really started working with it during the past 6-7. As far as creating niche autoblogs, I have yet to see anything that really compares. As far as content, it pulls from ezine, articlebase, youtube, flickr, yahoo answers, yahoo news and a couple of others. with the various components, you can create different templates that include multiple sources in a variety of order so that the pages don't all look identical to one another but have a good mix of media. With the built-in translator, you can spin content by translating from english to any other language and back to english and end up with unique, though barely readable, content. it now has TBS built in as well, though I'm still not convinced that it's working. You simply drop in your keywords (he has two tools that are free as well - one that scrapes ebay and another that is a glorified google wonderwheel scraper) and out pops a 5000 page blog.

It's not cheap though. Actually, it might be now. There has been a lot of complaining in the forum from people regarding the price that new users are paying. If you follow his system of building a site a day (completely doable if you have a few hours and a few hundred extra dollars for domain purchases, server costs, etc., this can be a great system. It's not pretty and if you get mired down in the weeds thinking that an ugly site won't result in revenue, then you'll die a slow death. Once you get past that, it's build-rinse-repeat.

Best of luck to you. I'll keep following this.

I looked for a buy page or something along those lines so that I could take a look at the software and see if that was better than WPRobot and so far I can't find anything but review sites and on top of that I can't even find a link, regular or affiliate, to take me to the sales page.

If you could post the affiliate link or PM it to me I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Small update.

Now that some time has passed and more articles have posted my front page is starting to rotate. I believe that this was cause because I used the force content plug in that published ALL of my articles regardless of the schedule date. Not sure why or how but apparently a little time and it sorted itself out.

I will be updating stats later today or tomorrow. Also I will be updating stats on the VIDEO Blog which is humming along nicely.

I have an auto blog setup for a poker site which I started roughly 5 weeks ago (the auto blog that is) and the UV's keeps on rising. Past the 100 a day point and yesterday hit 142 visitors from organic traffic.

I don't do anything special, WP-Robot setup to pull articles based on my KW's and I also have TBS activated. Currently sitting around 1500 posts.

what seo have you done m8?

If u have crap content your gonna get crap conversions. Sounds like you have a high end product why would i buy from a site with crap content.

Turn your pages into doorways and redirect them to your good sites and sales pages.

If your willing to pay $100 per lead then you should buy leads from people offering leads. Create a cpa campaign and pay affiliates who supply them. Heck you could even offer $10 a lead and have all the leads you know what to do with.

Sounds great

Let's see how it goes xD

Just SEO plugins and linking to other sites in the blog network.

I have tried to do this MANY times and have yet to find any affiliates that are willing to test the waters on this kind of offer. While I have two offers running, one with continuity that pays $50 per month, and an upsell that pays $499 per sale.

Conversions into $499 take generally 3-4 weeks. And the monthly continuity is every thirty days.

If someone is interested let me know!

Sounds great

Let's see how it goes xD

UPDATE: I have now created two different networks with different set ups, Network A uses Theme A and Network B uses Theme B. Both networks use the same plug ins and Network A only links to blogs in the Network A and Network B only links to blogs in Network B. Each blog has its own Twitter account that automatically posts to it and I am not using WPRobot and TBS. Both are working create. I heavily modified what WPRobot posts and how. I am posting articles and Videos and randomly posting Yahoo News. I am VERY happy with the results so far and can attribute atleast 5k to these networks! Also the issues of pages being de-index have resolved themselves and are no longer and issue. Also I seem to have survived 1-2 Panda feedings with no loss of traffic or leads to my squeeze page.

259 Leads have been created from the two networks together!

 

[DisavowedKing]

On a side note I have been using Answer Assault and have been creating tons of leads from there as well. Really wishing that there was one for Google Plus!

Thanks for the interesting case study.

I noticed that you are using Google Analytics. In hindsight, have you decided if this was a good or bad idea? Even if you are not targetting G ranking.

 

[mitchwisemen]

Today I am also going to install a pop up with a webform. Does anyone know of a good program I can get for free?


Comments? Thoughts? Suggestions? How to guide on disinfecting zombie bites?

Maybe it's late for you. But you can try some first page email submit offers from cpa networks.

 

[mitchwisemen]

Still trying to figure out how to make the front page have the most recent posts. Very frustrating. Hopefully someone on here has had this problem before.

Also I have started doing Twitter marketing for the twitter account associated with this blog. Twitter traffic is starting to pick up.

Using TwitterAdder. Seems to be working find. Found 200,000 people that I am currently trying to follow.

Really hoping someone can help me out with this posting issue.

TwitterAdder looks awesome. do we have to pay to get it's full function?

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.

Maybe it's late for you. But you can try some first page email submit offers from cpa networks.

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?

 

[afroman444]

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

 

[zeniths]

Nice thread. It helped me with running my autoblog.
