(GUIDE) Autoblogging for Dummies - my perspective for beginners

Hey OP did you have any problems after the mayday update of google? I seen to be having problem with my test last march.
 
haven't read the whole thread yet, but...

couldyou ellaborate on these 2 points? (i can't even save the file without an extension, it adds .txt automatically and doesn't let me rename it. How do i so it?). And what does this file do?

HTML:
Next up is .htaccess, which should be there. If you can't see it with your FTP client then check for an option which allows you to see invisible files. Should be located in the root folder too.

Add this to it:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

If you still can't find it, then simply upload a regular text file and name it exactly .htaccess with no extentions like .txt or .php!

To make your blog look more natural you need to have an favicon, period.
This can be done by either uploading a 16 by 16 pixel .ico file to your WP root folder, or add an snippet of html to your header.php file. This is what you should add: (most browsers of today already look for an ico file, but it's better to add it anyway)
 
HTML:

Currently I'm using this template for the majority of my blogs: (can be edited in each single feed on the bottom - autoblogged only!)

%if:video%<p>%video%</p>%endif:video%
%if:thumbnail%<p>%thumbnail%</p>%endif:thumbnail%
<p>%excerpt%</p>
The full story can be read/found on <a href="%link%" title="%title%" target="_blank">WEBSITE NAME HERE</a>



where do you add this code?
 
It seems like this code doesn't link to the original source:

<a href="%link%" title="%title%" target="_blank">original source</a>

it leads back to a page without my blog and it's "not found".

Basically my template looks like this:

{content}
Credits: <a href="%link%" title="%title%" target="_blank">original article source</a>

(with this title of WP-o-matic post not linkable to the source, which is good.)


but what might i be doing wrong that link doesn't point to a right external page?
 
Also I installed SEO Smart Links, so i wonder if this plugin might be the cause of the breaking a link to original source.
But it's strange since in the post template i included one other external link without %%% etc (just a static link), and that one is working...

Hey Malachute - How about an update? How are you blogs? Earnings? I'd love to hear how it's going for you..
 
After that, sign up with about 10 onlywire accounts. Make them free, don't pay them monthly - it's a waste of money.
1: General information
Remember what username and password you entered here (write them down somewhere - because once you will have 10+ accounts it starts to become a hassle)
The rest of the information is not important except for the website URL and email (make sure to use a unique one with every sign up)
Website URL: any blogger blog you have access too and don't want. Just make a new one on blogger.com
2: Pay Plan:
Choose free on the right side.
Ha, this is where we trick them. They have a bot that checks your website if the share plugin is still active or not. That is why we need those easy-made-and-free blogger blogs. If it is not active, your account will get deleted within 24 hours.
Go to your first blogger blog, and go to layout -> add a gadget (third party/java gadget) anywhere you like and paste the code they have given you. (this can only be done once your account has been created so keep it for later)
3: Terms of condition
Accept the terms and finish the account creation.
Once your account has been created (you don't need to verify it in your email box) log in and go to My Account (settings). There you should see that your site hasn't been confirmed that the button is active.

Malachute,

I need some clarification about Onlywire accounts:-

As stated do I need min. 5 Onlywire accounts per blog for using Onlywire multisubmitter
right?

-So I need separate 5 email accounts for those to open 5 onlywire accounts?

-When I sign up new accounts it ask website URL, you have suggested that
Just make a new one on blogger.com. So is it possible that I use ONE blogger.com URL in all 5 onlywire account?

-Suppose as above I used one blogger.com URL for those all 5 onlywire accounts then can I use these accounts on my Wordpress blog? (Onlywire could catch me that I put their button on blogger.com blog but using their services for Wordpress blog)

Also do I need install the Onlywire plugin with Onlywire multisubmitter?

Hope you will answer these Q And I know many BHW members want to know this.:)

I'm not going to give out more numbers right now, but can tell you that I've bought a dedicated server at Hetzner and going to ditch Hostgator. Hostgator is good if you have some small autoblogs, but not if you're going 'professional' lol :P Come back in a month or so and I'll show you some crazy numbers that will make you shit 7 colors in the toilet.

Onlywire is actually updating their plans right now, allowing you to submit much more per day per account. The reason you needed 5 accounts is that if you have a lot of posts a day - you can't submit them all.

1) Yes you need a separate email for each of them.
2) I just made 5 crappy blogs - 1 for each onlywire account.
3) Don't worry about onlywire catching you for using it on wordpress blogs, they automate verifying and they are probably to lazy to check it out themselves. I haven't run in any problems with my 5 accounts.

Yes you only need to have the button on a different site, don't put it on your money-making websites. Total waste otherwise.

To the last question: No, the onlywire multisubmitter is what you want, not their own plugin.
 
I agree with the folks saying autoblogging is a lazy man's way to make money online but I think that if the autoblogging plugin or whatever they use is a good one, there's chances one could make easy money with only spending for domain/hosting and some time to set up Wordpress.

Truth is I've seen a bunch of sites using autoblogging plugins that were pure crap, some of them didn't even had a link to the original content which is unacceptable. I believe most of them aren?t making anything worth mentioning.
I?ve also seen quite a few sites that looked pretty good and, judging by their Alexa rank, they do have traffic, therefore sales. It all sums up to how you use autoblogging I think, if you do your homework pick the best keywords (that are searched for but there?s a lack in promotion), one could make a great income off of it.

I?m not a lazy man and I do have my own written blogs, actually quite a few, but I was lately thinking about setting some autoblogging sites see how?s it working.

Most of the successful blogs I saw were using Multipress Lite which is FREE so I think I?m going to use it on this project. At first glance, looks like it takes its content from Yahoo Answers, Flikr and some article directories so it should be good to use. It also creates a link to the original content so there shouldn?t be any issues with people getting angry for their content being used elsewhere.

I?ll let you know how it works out if I have the time to get it started.

Thanks for reply Malchute.

I have read somewhere on forum that Onlywire multisubmitter not works properly because Onlywire stopped it. Do you experienced same?

One more thing that I have read on their website that they don't submit automated post
to Social bookmarking sites, so how is it possible with Autoblogs?

And also Onlywire have problem with top sites like Digg, Redit, Stumble etc.
Now what is your experience in this regard? Then can I go with Onlywire?

Need your advice.

Man, this is a great tutorial. I've been trying to make my autoblogged system a little better. I shelled out the $50 to get the newest one, and it just won't function correctly with ANY other plugins I try to activate. The more plugins I enter, the more it screws it up, and they are the same as the ones you mentioned. Something on my side is just funky and have spent days trying to figure it out.

Anyway you could send me a message and help out? More than willing to pay you for your time. I want something that is setup and 100% functional and right now i'm at about 50%, and autoblogged's support I don't think even fully read my support ticket because I told them I read about the blank page issue and tried everything on the page to no avail, and they sent me the same page I told them I read and asked me to try that...wtf.
 
Yeah man, this forum is good but for autoblog, we still need more automated stuff to make it perfect or near perfect

recently I've used this new system in autoblog and it seems like the best so far

My autoblog
starcraft2guide_biz

The system I used
bit_ly/dktub6

*** Replace the underscore with "." ***

How do you post full articles like that? Or even better how do you change the amount of characters? I can only get it to post the first few sentences for posts. :(

What plugin are you using? Shoot me a dm.
 
Hey Malachute. I've been following your method for about a week now after failing with shez's twitter methods. I have to say that I learned a lot about researching keywords and setting up autoblogs during the time I've been here. It's going to be my first month working on this. So far I have 7 autoblogs up. 5 of them I gave up on and2 of them have highly researched keywords (spent an hour on each). Now I only made .75 two weeks ago and it was just a fluke. It was on one of my fail sites that I gave up on. I spent about 200$USD so I'm kind of in the negative. Very negative. I still have an entire year of hosting, and wp-robot plugin with 5 modules left though so not all is lost for me.

For my niches Theres seems to be no articles I can use on UAW or Free traffic system yet. For one of my failed sites which was a get your ex gf back site I get dozens of articles a day. So for now I'm sticking to wp robot or dupe content (from articlesbase). I always make new content for my intro pages.

My question is, what mightve happened to set my site so low after just a week of creation (it was top 3 after just 2 days of creation and being indexed on goole and yahoo site explorer)? I am using wprobot for this blog (pulling articles only and intertwining adsense in it) so I think google penalized me for dupe content. Theres no warnings for that, right? If so should I continue to build backlinks or start from scratch because I'll keep getting penalized or won't be able to climb back up?

The site at #1 is a very simple wordpress blog with adsense only. I checked its backlinks on site explorer and it has less than 10, a few from its own site and one from ezinearticles. I submitted my own article since ezine is a high pr site which means quaility backlinks. However its taking forever to get through. I have more than a 100 backlinks on my site but they are all low pr. Is one ezinearticle backlink worth more than a hundred low pr backlinks? I just googled my site in the top 100 and the said ezine article from the othe site ranks higher than my entire site. It's also relatively new, around the time my site came out.

I had trickles of traffic with no clicks when I had the top3 for one of my keywords but now I have nothing.
