I have a few autoblogs...because I like them. I have one that I set up one day and have done no promotion with. It auto posts articles and youtube videos and I am steadily increasing in organic traffic each month. It's been up for about 4 months and now up to 200 uniques a day. Not bad for no promotion whatsoever. So I thought I'd let ya'll know what I use for plugins and you can add your better ones and even better theme. I get clicks daily and I'm not even using a adsense optimized theme [I want my blogs to look natural enough and not clouded to the extreme with adsense] so i'm sure you guys can do better. I'm averaging 50c-$1 a day per blog after about 2 months of letting them sit so I'm sure you can get better if you start promoting right away.
I use the unique article wizard plugin for posting articles, but for more obscure niches, you are going to want a different autoposter as this I have noticed is only best for popular/broad niches. I use the wpyoutube plugin [the free version as each blog is a mix, and not strictly a video blog] to post youtube videos automatically. I use the Platinum SEO plugin and load my keywords that I pruned from Keyword Elite into it along with a keyword rich title and description. I use the YPN-Adsense plugin to automatically add adsense to my posts in random spots so the people do not become ad blind to my ads =P.
On some of my blogs I use more plugins while on others these are the only ones I use. I don't show ads on my homepages for any of these blogs and I still get clicks within the posts. Perhaps I would get more if I put them on my homepage, but again, I like to keep the blogs halfway decent like so people stay on them longer.
I do no promotion whatsoever with these blogs. I don't even put their links in my sigs or do bookmarkings...nothing. I have it now where I can set up one of these blogs in an hour or less and forget about them. Autoblogs are great for adsense earnings because they do all the work for you once you put the initial effort in. $30/month per blog is not bad either for no promotion.
Just thought I'd let some of those people having trouble with 'direction' for their autoblogs. =D
thank you shylesson all credit goes to you.
I have done lot of work with autoblogs
gained confidence after some failures
Today i read somewhere that installing google analytics will cause google ban.. adsense ban?
If its true then how do you track your autoblogs.
Shylesson your opinion on this will be more convincing.
Minimum plugins for me
Akismet ? Enter your API key to activate this plugin. This plugin will help prevent comment spam.
Adsense Manager ? This is my favorite advertising plugin. This plugin will place your ads randomly throughout your posts. Simply add your publisher ID and change the ad colors.
Advertising Manager ? Here?s another great advertising plugin. With this plugin you can setup a wide selection of ads including random CPA offers. Once you?ve created an ad, view your widgets panel and drag the ad to your sidebar.
Easy Privacy Policy ? This Privacy Policy is great to protect your site, looks professional, and it includes information that Adsense requires.
Global Translator ? Your visitors can be from any country. I always include this plugin on my sidebar. You can translate your entire site into another language with this plugin.
Google XML Sitemaps ? This plugin will help with Google indexing. It?s a map of your site. This plugin is a must.
Kontera ContentLink ? Another great way to earn revenue is by turning random words throughout your articles into advertisements. This plugin does just that. Sign up with Kontera and enter your publisher ID in the Kontera settings.
MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer ? This plugin is a great way to spread your site amongst the internet. The more backlinks you create the better your search engine rankings will be. Run a search and look for a list of popular websites to ping.
WP OnlyWire Auto Poster ? This program has made a huge difference with backlinks. You can use onlywire to send your posts to 30 different social networks. This has created many backlinks for me and has helped tremendously with backlinking.
Platinum SEO Pack ? This plugin is another must. This plugin will allow you to create META tags to help with search engine indexing. Be sure to select appropriate keywords and a keyword rich description.
SEO Smart Links ? This program will turn random words throughout your articles into links to other articles on your blog. You can also setup specific words to link to offers or other revenue generating services. For example, if you have an iPad blog, you may want to link the word ?iPad? to an email submit for a free iPad.
SEO Super Comments ? This program will generate extra pages for each comment. Users will have another page with all of their comments. This will give you more pages for search engine indexing.

WP Robot ? This is one of your most important plugins
Hi thanks
I have two plugins
1) quick adsense it brought me few clicks not big money but yes i noticed some activity
2) rss footer which adds your links at the end of each post in rss so if someone picks your rss then also links you back.
I am looking for a good tags plugin I am using wordpres 2.8.3
so SImple tags wont go.
from your lot I will also pick seo smart links it is another essential plugin
now how do you guys track visitors on your site?
@All autoblogs is no rocket science
1) you need a website / market
2) you need content
3) you need traffic ( twitter + facebook + search engine)
4) you make money
wordpress + autoblogs + plugins can solve your content and traffic
we need to take first step, 2nd is handled by autoblogs, 3 rd you need to do some hardwork ( if you are willing to) + some plugins will do
this.
thats all we need to do. is it difficult?
