My initial small scale trial of autoblogs is complete after 6 weeks.
Five are making about a dollar a day with adsense around 40 hits a day, which I consider pretty good for ZERO promotion.
I am going to spin up 50 or so now. With Caffeinated Content article pulling, I have noticed that 95% of the traffic comes from tag pages.
With UAW about 50% of the traffic comes from tag pages.
Hard to say whether CC or UAW is better with such a small sample size. It seems to me though that CC is better because you can choose however many tags you want. (and the traffic as said before comes from tags, I think UAW just uses all the same tags for spun articles)
Seems like most organic autoblog traffic is tag related. Kind of makes me wonder if you could have a blog with millions of tag pages and make tons of money a day.
Another thing I will be doing is mining my keywords, which should work well. Just wait a month or two until you have a list of keywords from people that have visited your site.
Then create a spun article and create a complex resource box which includes your keywords. A lot of these shouldn't take more than a few backlinks to rank for.
Who knows maybe these sites will pull me 5$ a day in another couple months.
