450 Autoblogs Banned From Google - Why?

They were banned because they were autoblogs! they just a network of duplicate content
 
what is your autoblogs update interval? Every hour, 3 hours, etc?
 
You guys said not to use analytics on an autoblog, right? What is a good tracking alternative that we can use for wordpress? Is there a wordpress stat or tracking plugin you recommend?
 
I myself have ~150 blogs spread over 5 master domains, now 3 of theese have been deindexed.But at least i know why. Aparantly they are not following the Webmaster Guidelines...

Cant see why actually, to syndicate feeds about a given topic should`nt be a problem IMO since it actually helps users to find what they are looking fore in once place.
 
OP can you say how much you been making with this amount of blogs? My goal is 500 but i keep doing autoblogs for other people so dunno when i make it. I wonder how worth is it ;)
 
I am seeing similar picture with my autoblogs. Most of them have been deindexed and I didn't use subdomains at all. Even some blogs with little, but unique content were deindexed too. Google behaves very strange recently. It looks like they are cleaning serp.
 
Anyway, I was thinking how it's possible that you had 450 autoblogs and just 800 uniques daily? :P

The OP said that he was getting "800 visitors a day in less than a week". I take that to mean that this domain / all of the subdomains are less than a week old... in which case I don't think 800 uniques is too bad (considering he can't possibly have had time to do much promotion for many of them)
 
@eddyman: because if you have the same analytics-id on all your blogs then google know they belong to one person. they are not stupid ;)

also 450 blogs under one domain with one ip and adsense on it - lmao. m8 - you should have known that earlier. i mean this should be common sense to know before this wont work.

also ip`s mustn be expensive if you buy them in bulk and you know where you have to get them ;)
 
auto blogs are banned these days. i suppose this is because of google algorythm improvement
 
Interesting why G still loves techchuck dot com autoblog? I had its clone with 4K+ indexed pages and nice traffic from G couple of days ago. And it was banned too. :(
 
Like James said, don't interlink them if on one IP. also:

-different whois info
-different themes
-disallow access to your plugin dir, via .htaccess
-not the same adsense

then should be ok

bout disallow access to our plugins directory
is this the code to block access to any folders we specify
Code:
AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Example Access Control"
AuthType Basic
<LIMIT GET>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from xx.xx.xx.xx
allow from xx.xx.xxx.xx
</LIMIT>

or could we use AskApache Password Protection Plugin?
