The days of Autoblogs are far from over. What you need to do is change up what you're doing so that it is different from what everyone else is doing. That's where footprints come from and Google can spot those a mile off.

Split from the pack and do the opposite that everyone else is doing and then wait for them to get bitch slapped by G while you sail on by under the radar

Everything goes well until DMCA comes a knocking

I do not think that autoblogs are dead. It requires a correct approach.

One good thing about autoblogging is everyone who had a hand in it now has a mini link network to post too. I'm not sure how powerful they are but I definitely use them to re-syndicate my money page content.

A nice static original content page with an automated google alerts powered partial content autoblog has helped make one of my sites anywhere from 20-60 a month. I've considered it a success. Maybe one of my only, but I have probably only made 10 blogs over the last two years and most of them were experiments. All my time goes into developing and improving my automation software for my customers... and that's where a lot of my real experience comes in. I get to see some of the best autoblogging application styles out there.

My favorite model so far is the Headlines with truncated content and linkbacks to the original source model. If you choose a good niche, make a fantastic looking site, load it with relevant advertisements and create a social marketing program then it can be a real money maker.

I've one client that managed to use tweet attacks to ramp his twitter account to 70,000+ and his readership retention is incredible. 100% resyndicated content but the readers do not mind because the content arrangement is what they like about the site.

Granted he has trouble with Panda, but that does not keep The New York Times from mentioning his site when talking about community buzz on his topic.

He could even afford to pay me 300 dollars the first month and 150 for two months after that to make sure his automation was setup corrected and to help optimize for server performance. Then he hired me again for another site! That just goes to show you the power of the headlines model if used professionally.

An even stronger model that will work with Panda is the Headlines + Commentary model. That is where the sources are chosen, and all the content is drafted and edited with editorial comments before publishing. That is a perfect manual-auto blogging combination that readers love and google will love. It takes more time though and probably is not something that can be scaled up without a party of employees.

Yeah sure - now please move along, there's nothing to see here - thank you

autoblogs will officially be dead once the following conditions are satisfied:

1) google consistently ranks content from places like the associated press before places like the new york times
2) people no longer want to have their content distributed
3) people no longer care about backlinks

as far as I can tell, that day has not yet arrived....

Who told you that? get rid of the wp-robot type plugins and use original un-spun content and you will be fine. I have no problems at all and I'm on the up and up.

Is that not called blogging?

Just make sure that you have a pre-DCMA notice remove content link. This will keep them many times from involving your host.

I have a little trick.

I have them enter an opt-in email form to have their content removed, which then takes them to a static (boilerplate) removal confirmation page, as well as a long form landing page, telling them of the advantages of having their feed on my site and an explaination of "fair use" (all excerpt blogs with attribute). I also ask/allow them to resubmit their feed at the bottom. I actually give them the chance to enter up to 5 feeds on the form. I have had people click to remove their content, then actually give it back plus a few feeds.

The 2nd trick to it all? I put all of the content removers on autoreponder. I not only try to convince them to "rejoin" the blog by submitting their feed, but they become my first CB product opt-in list. They are all blog owners after all.

I never even remove a single article. I do remove the blogs entire feed from my Yahoo pipes , but I never have to touch my blogs. They work as content engines with no search engine access (no follow no index, manually removed from Google). As for any offending posts, I use a timed delete post plugin set to remove every article posted after 13 days. (If you get a DCMA request you have 14 days for removal). Never give a fuck about DCMA compliance again.


All posts do re-fed to some other blogs or social sites upon posting, and it is these pages that I SEO.

I mix it up with a custom 404 for links that lead to old-removed content on my autoblog content engine. On each blog I set it to something different depending on what has worked for that niche, opt-in, product presell, other posts. The most blackhat was to charge for a membership to have all the articles the site ever had, or ever will, as an email autoreponder (using the feed to autoresponse feature of Feedblitz and the autoblog rss full feed).

I had over 19, what I call pre-DCMA removal requests on one blog, using free hosting on a free subdomain, and never lost the hosting account, and now even have 7 opt-in rss feeds as content running through it that were acquired while people were initially complaining about their content on my blog, 2 of them from on owner.

In opinion if you just copy content from here and there and update your content, G will definitely punish you. I see there are two problems with the Autoblogs. If you want to escape copyscape, you will have to spin the article more aggressively. The more you spin, pathetic it gets your content. Unless you re-read the spun content and alter it manually, your content will be unreadable. And it won't help users stay long in your site. And G determines the bounce rate of your site to determine how bad your site is.

Either way you are doomed. The question is how lucky one is to survive for long.

So now that there has been some time since this original post, what is the consensus on ABs? Do they still work? Are they profitable?

Yes they are still work. Why they wouldn't? )

For most of the softs its dead. but there are still some softwares which are getting good response form autoblogging. but I don't suggest to follow them because sooner or later they will be banned So why take risk?

lfe still work fine with some blogs if u use them well.

I am using my autoblogs to feed into Facebook, Twitter and MySpace with posts. Some of the posts do get looked at and liked and retweeted, and I have links and Pay Pal buttons to my products if people click through. I'm using the Unique Article Wizard mostly, but you have to fine tune the keywords and categories carefully to weed out the junk. My blogs are in subfolders of the money sites, so I'm a little worried about Google backlashes to the entire site, I already got slammed by Penguin, but that looks like it was mostly the keywords I spammed with private blog networks, scrapebox and xrumer.

The software can not be banned. Simple because Google has no idea which exactly application/script/plugin/service is being used to populate your autoblogs. Make your sites look really unique and you'll be fine. I said "sites" because WordPress allows to create almost any kind of websites which don't have to look like usual blogs. Your autoblogs may look like tubes, pinterest-like sites, shops, forums, social sites etc. Don't be limited with standard solutions.

Hey guys, question regarding DMCA & getting back-hand slapped by the G. I followed a tutorial from BHW on creating autoblogs (which I now realize is outdated) and literally within the last week set-up 4 different autoblogs. 3 based around longtail microniche keywords & 1 as a subdomain of a money site to get rid of the tedious process of having to maintain the regular blog.

A) Should I be worried about anything in regards to the DMCA?

B) Should I be worried about my money site getting slapped by the big G for having the autoblog on the subdomain?

Just the shitty blogs are getting fucked now ..

I think autoblogs can work if content is very well treated (perhaps spunned, reformated or translated from another language). I have done some autoblogs translating from a foreign language to english and viceversa. Of course this is a tool I developed (eating my own dog food).

Yeah, I think after Panda / Penguin, going the auto-blog route is probably a pretty bad idea, especially if you're looking for long-term financial stability.
