Looking for an auto blog youtube post with RSS feed. Or a software.

or

Something where I can automatically insert youtube videos into posts would be awesome as well.

Anyone have any ideas? Trying to do this without paying for a plugin.

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.

@pinkbitz How did you get around the 250 queries per day with TBS? Did you buy multiple licenses? It would be nice if you gave us a break down of everything you did. Kinda of like a how to guide.

Also what modules did you buy with WP-Robot?

To rank on Google, you don't need to spin or try to make post unique. All you need is right keyword, legal content and 2-5 posting per 24 hour. Using unreadable translated content cause 100% bounce rate and epic fail

I agree 100% with you Autoblogger however testing is what makes things important. With this i am doing a pop up, on page webform, and exit splash. Trying to capture people without doing much work or spending any money.

The better auto blogging software you have to pay for, which if I was trying to create a network of 10-100 blogs getting $1-$50 per month then I would by the software. I am only trying to get people to either sign up for a newsletter OR download a free report.

FYI bounce rate is 43% right now. With 2 leads already captured. I have already made money off this blog due to the Lifetime Value of those leads and what it normally costs me to acquire the same lead.

A slight wrinkle in the fabric. The homepage is NOT updating with new blog posts. Anyone else have this issue? Really bothered by this.

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.

Well already starting to get some traffic:

Code:

Sources Visits % visits
(direct) 7 	63.64%
twitter.com (referral) 2 	18.18%
bing (organic) 1 	9.09%
enhanced.charter.net (referral) 1 	9.09%

Referrals

Code:

Pop Up and Exit Splash have referred 3 people to my money site.

Nothing showing up in any of the analytic's.

Still haven't fixed the posting issue. So far no one has any suggestions. Thinking about making a page as the home page anyways with keyword rich article. This way my homepage with be targeted with my blog's main keyword. This could be a blessing in disguise anyways.

Woke up this morning to a happy surprise. While there is still no tracking data in Google, Yahoo, or Bing, Google Webmasters has updated and I have 1,659 pages indexed. Woot, Woot!

Also have I have captured three leads with the pop-up and exit splash.

If everything went to shit right now this would still be consider a success!

Why haven't YOU started an auto blog?

I have made some autoblogs a year ago without any success, well, i didn't really pursued SEO because i was focusing on other projects until those blogs died.. and been reading those "autoblogs are dead" so i neglected.

I'm reconsidering autoblogs for some extra $$ so i'm watching your progress now and i hope we'll discover something positive.. then scale up. I'm with you with this and I've subscribed.

I have xrumer license lying unused there on botmaster, haven't been using it for 2years now. Maybe I'll get a box for it and will try to run it again. I'll let you know mate.

I usually read all the case studies related to Autoblogging.

This indeed is very helpful.
What I have seen from my all autoblogs that they do not rank at all however I am getting traffic but its very low.

I do use SB on AA lists, and only 3 blogs are de-indexed because of the poor contents.

Autoblogging is good only with the unique and readable contents.

Please update the results.

Nice post.

I think Auto blogger is the good way for people who aren't good at English. However, I think if we want to success with Auto blog we should choose source of information carefully to provide useful information to readers.

I will follow your case study.

I think if you can make money from auto blog you can consider to invest an authoriy blog by outsourcing content writing.

Thanks for your sharing

Hope you more success

@BabyMonster I am not using this auto blog to create money VIA adsense, amazon, or any affiliate product for that manner. I am actually using this to generate leads for my own squeeze page. I heavily edited the theme to remove outbound links, websites, put up a webform and an image hyperlink all to drive traffic to my squeeze page. Also let me know about the Xrumer.

@umaycool getting indexed in Google may be easy, but remember I am not targeting Google. I am targeting Bing, Yahoo, Twitter and Facebook.

@Kabeer I am not looking to create a high traffic blog. The content is mostly unreadable. I am purely looking to get ANY traffic to generate leads for my squeeze page. This is a test site. Eventually I am going to create a network of highly READABLE blogs in the same industry to do the same thing (generate leads).

@quangtrieuphu I completely agree. However I think that people look at Google as the end all be all and fail to realize that Bing and Yahoo are also search engines. While they might not provide TONS of traffic, the little that they provide are good leads. I already have a well targeted Google campaign to my money site. Which is doing very well.

I am going to be posting NEW stats here in a little bit. I wanted to respond to a few people first.

And the stats:

Index Pages:

Google - 2213
Bing -0
Yahoo - 2

Backlinks:

Google - 1808
Bing - 0
Yahoo - 3

Traffic

Direct - 12
Bing (Organic) - 4
Twitter (Referral) - 3
Yahoo (Organic) - 2
Other - 1

Conversions
6 People Sent To Squeeze Page (26% CTR)
3 Filled Out Webform (50% Opt In)

EDIT:
As a side note my squeeze page typically gets 65-70% conversion on paid traffic (banner ads) and cold traffic (Google Organic). So a 50% conversion is a little on a low side.

Less than a week already and this is proving to one not only be easy, but two it is already profitable.

Thoughts? Comments? Shotgun or handgun for fending off Zombies?

Has this post inspired anyone to start an autoblog? Just curious more than anything. Currently I am working with a software developer to build a program for me that will interface with TBS and really spit out good content.

What are some features that you would like to see in this? What would you like to NOT see?

As long as this does not prove to be expensive I plan to offer it for free for everyone. I am convinced that Auto Blogs are the way to go!

This is great. I just set up a couple autoblogs as well. I am mostly pulling content from YouTube, Amazon and clickbank though so I do not have to worry too much about unreadable content.

Look forward to hearing how you're doing with the traffic.
