Hey Yogi
-First I would like to say that I?m pretty disappointed this question hasn?t been answered earlier by a more experienced user. The idea of a forum of this type is for people with like minded interests to be able to learn from each other.
I am still a nooby
but I have been researching like crazy over the past month and have been trying to gain as much info as possible. Because your questions are pretty general I think I can take a take crack at them.
1. Autoblogs can be very lucrative or they can be a waste of time. Commonsense-wise there are so many people who own large blog farms that only proper technique will get you any substantial money with autoblogs. How do you get lots of money with your autoblogs? High traffic. How do you get high traffic, well thats what half the people on this forum are clamoring about. There are hundreds of threads on this forum on that topic, theres soooo many ways that you?ll have to look that one up on this forum but the information is definitely there.
One tip I will give you is that I will give you is that if you are seriously considering creating mass auto blogs is to consider twitter as well. The two go together quite perfectly actually, that is because if you create a few twitter accounts and get large followers from them you can make extra money through 1 sponsored tweets and 2 promote your autoblogs using the twitter accounts. This is widely done so you should get on it! There are programs out there that allow you to get a large amount of followers in short amount of times. That information is also on this forum.
2. The second point you brought up was hosting. This is extremely important because when you are dealing with a high volume of lot of blogs you need very consistent service with good customer service. From what i've seen Gator host is most reliable service for the price. As long as you get Hostgator's baby package you should be in good shape. There are techniques that people advise like trying to use multiple IP addresses but in the early stages that should not matter as much and as you get a feel for auto blogging you should become more knowledgeable.
Finally I would soo greatly appreciate if you purchased your host gator account using my affiliate link. Its obvious you don?t have to, but I would be excited if you did helps me as a lowly scrubby student.
Of course you don?t lose anything by getting hostgator through my affiliate link
The filter wont allow me to post links or email addresses but if you emailed me at:
jmmboston at gmail
I could send it to you.
If you have any more questions I?ll be monitoring this thread for a few hours (got a huge test I need to prepare for anyway so i'll be in fornt of the computer for a while.)
Good Luck. And its great that your starting up an online venture, like everyone?s been saying the true first step is to break from the habit of just reading stuff on forums and take action!
