Journey : Splogging with a custom bot

Another day where I was distracted by shiny things (other projects and didn't get anything done on this journey. Its not too much of a concern as the posts just need to keep getting created automatically over time and it will continue to earn.

Earnings rose again and closer to 10c a day now. It will likely hang around this figure (7c-13c per day) unless I get creating a few more blogs.

===============================================================
Other tasks/challenges to come
Other things to do in the future (might be future challenges for me):
- Automate removal of posts (continued on from challenge 2)
- Other promotion methods to be researched
- Automate blog creation process
- Setup site 9+
- Fix internal SEO linking as its less then perfect.

The Hourly Rate
As at 4th April for Earnings / 5th April for Hours:

• Hours spent on project : 5.5 hours
• Profit : $0.23
• Hourly Rate : $0.04

To anyone else in a journey I wish you the best of luck in earnings.

1. Yes its a non-common web 2.0 based on wordpress wpmu. I prefer not to say as I don't want the competition.
2. PPC/CPC. Because its a non-common Web 2.0 there is no issue putting the ads on there.

Thanks for the headsup, I understand it so no need to disclose the platform. And for the AD newwork, could u tell the names? I am wondering if media and chikata etc would be more fit for a sblog, as Adxense may close your account on such blogs...

Yeah not using Adsense. That would be a ban. Use bidvertiser.

So you're just using subdomains? Or what are you doing for domain names for all these blogs?

He just use web2.0, so all free, even you have 100000000 domains.

Yep as stated. All subdomains. Remember this is purely autoblogging/splogging (spam blogging). I want as minimal cost and ongoing effort as possible. This is all about quantity and not quality.

Spent the day doing other things. Letting the blogs and accounts just fill up with posts isn't going to hurt anyway, but not creating any more blogs means not much increases in daily earnings.

The hourly pay for what I have put in has climbed to an amazing (sarcasm) amount of $0.07 per hour. If it keeps earning at this rate by the end of this month I would have made an hourly wage of 47c and by the end of the year it will be $4.94 per hour. I need to find some time to work on the setup on the next couple of sites to get the earnings growing.

Challenge 7 - Setup Blogs 9 and 10

Completed the setup of blog 10 today meaning I have now completed the challenge I set myself. I will the 10 blogs run for around 2 weeks now while I am travelling. They will continue to update and post and I will check it all out when I get back. I do not expect too much yet in earnings increases but if I can gt to around 8c a day by the end of April I will call the initial trial a success.

Challenge 8 - Do nothing and check back in at the end of the month.

Just want these blogs to build up a bit of content now without continuing to grow. I want to see where the earnings level off in the next few weeks so that I can work out the potential earnings per blog with this content per month. If it turns out 1 blog = 1c profit per day I am going to need to create an army of blogs to get to reasonable earnings but I very much expect over time it will be much higher then that. It just takes time (6-months to a year) to get enough content created and indexed.

Earnings are updated below.
