Worried about the page deindexing may turn into site deindexing. Can you track spider visits? Are they increasing?
 
Awesome "spin" on the Autoblog method with an opt in... I like it a lot!
Seriously great move DisavowedKing! I now expect to see a few of these popping up...

A few questions for you on the Autoblog if you'd be so kind to answer, thanks:

Do you spin (autospin) the content, or are you just publishing "already published content", and to hell with the duplicate content rule?

Would you consider monetizing the content any other way? By this I mean adding Amazon, clickbank, or even Adsense JUST on certain pages? Or are you worried about a ban here? (on the ad program) I've always been interested in the idea of chucking Adsense on such a blog, even though it ISN'T the monetization method, BUT I'm always worried about the potential BAN HAMMER from the big G coming down? What are your thoughts here? Maybe worth just throwing a large Adsense square at the top of the more popular posts... see what happens.

Would you consider putting another analytics package on the website? Try Clicky perhaps, see if you're getting different results, you can check these results real-time as well!

Are you targeting a specific niche? I am obviously not asking for the exact niche (duh! ;) ), what I'm trying to get to at here is... are you targeting a very specific keyword? and a few others similar to that main one? Or are you just taking a broad niche and keyword base?

Thanks so much for the info already! Brilliant info.

I am targeting a very specific niche. While all the SB blasts that I am doing are targeting a very specific keyword the articles themselves on the AB all target different keywords. In fact I have my own product that I am actually selling. It starts at $4.82 with $98 monthly billing that upsells them into a $997 product that hopefully I can upsell them again into a $10k-$20k product.

Obviously conversions get considerably smaller the higher you get. My decision to not put adsense or Amazon has nothing to do with the BANHAMMER. It has everything to do with the fact that I am looking for leads and only leads. Each lead for me has a cost that I am willing to pay (up to $100 per lead) I am looking to bring in as many leads as possible.

I am very worried about this as well. In fact my visits are still continuing to rise HOWEVER I now only have 281 pages indexed. This means that THOUSANDS of pages have been de-indexed.

I am not concerned about this because I understand WHY it has been de-indexed. Garbage content that is unreadable to any human visitor. Can't blame the Big G for that.
 
Someone sent me a PM asking:

I was following your case study about autoblogs and was curious about how do you use Scrabox to comment on your own site. hope you can enlighten me in this, thanks very much.

I use a plug in that automatically creates a sitemap. I took those URLs in the sitemap and loaded them into SB and then hit quick poster.

I recommend turning OFF comment notification and also setting all comments to auto approve. Once you have finished running your SB blast turn off automatic comment approval. After all you don't want SPAM.
 
One thing that I feel is important to point out is that while traffic from Google is awesome, I am not really targeting Google. I am more worried about getting the other SE involved in the process. Yahoo and Bing. While most traffic comes from G, I am going to be doing other methods to my money sites that will get traffic from G.

Again this is all just a test. I could be completely wrong and have everything banned. Who knows. Also I am going to start building a network. I will be using WPRobot AND TBS. The goal is to create readable content that G won't keep de-indexing.
 
Well, good luck.
I think the site will eventually be de-indexed, but well see how long you can keep it up!

I agree. Then I am going to use the function and apologize to Google and try and get re-indexed with good content.

Just great. Content need to be relevant.

Again I think that bigger issue is that I am translating the content into three different languages before reposting it in English. This will be solved once I switch over to TBS.
 
4. I would like to have someone trade an Xrumer blast for an SB blast. Or even a Bookmarking Demon blast. Let me know if you are interested in doing this. I have quite a few AA lists.

Xrumer may be very dangerous for new sites. I don't use it if site is younger than 6 months, as too many of my new sites got filtered because of xrumer :rolleyes:
 
use WPR and just translate it from english to german to spanish and back to english...

This is just a test site. So I wanted to try many different things. In the end nobody volunteered.

This is what I am currently doing. And why so many were de-indexed.

Is this readable content and quality, or at least, quality enough to be indexed and left by Google?

Not really. Right now I do have a high bounce rate, which I am not worried about, as I am just playing the numbers games right now.
 
where can i download this WebMagnates software? i went to the website, its says $97 for it.
 
Great thread! I setup a blogger account to test the software and also came across the posts getting posted in reverse. Only way around that with the free software that I can think of is to post them one at a time... I know it's not feasible with a huge rss but... I'm going for readable content not including every post as I want the content on a specific topic. I'm also including the 'read original' link below each post and I'm wondering if that fits the readable and legal criteria i.e. can I monetize with adsense?

This thread has nothing to do with monetizing with adsense. As far as any legal ramifications for using someone else's content and still posting the link I have no idea, however you are passing a TON of link juice through those links.

Not really worth it to include the link.

This was a complete test. I know that most of the content is not readable. I wanted to prove my Proof Of Concept first before I went balls out and got balls deep in some zombie sites.

Now I am working on building a network of about 25 sites that is using WPRobot and TBS.
 
I tried ABS and it has disappointed me totally for the following reasons:

1) It create garbage in terms of content

2) My niches has many videos. I am directly taking rss feed from my competitor website. They have videos inserted in their post. Instead of posting video this software is posting an image of the player :D

3) Also it is not deleting text like Admin, post date, comments etc etc from the Original website. Hence it is looking too spammy with double admin post details and date of posting.

4) The only good thing is that the software was easy to install and within 20 mins I could post my first post. But I had to delete that since I am not making any experiment with my site.

@OP Did you find any youtube plugin? It would be helpful for me to just post videos on Ab and write the content myself. Would make more sense in my case atleast

Cheers :)
