What Is Autoblogging?

January 15, 2009 | Posted by Carma | Filed Under Learning Center, autoblogging

Autoblogging is short for “automatic blogging.” Basically, you set your blog up to post content on it’s own. This is usually done by connecting an RSS feed to your blog. Many Internet marketers use autoblogging to build niche websites quickly and easily. But before your jump on the autoblogging band wagon, you need to understand a couple of things about autoblogs.

Quality
Gobala Krishnan of ProfitBlogger.com says, “No matter how good you get at autoblogging, you’re never going to produce high quality sites that attract a loyal fan-base using autoblogging methods. Nothing beats content that is original and written by a human being.”

Therefore, autoblogging is not a good option for those who want their blog to establish credibility or expertise for them.

Autoblogging is good for setting up Adsense and affiliate marketing sites, where your only concern is generating traffic. Because autoblogging keeps your content fresh, the site ranks better in the search engines.

Uniqueness
Because you will probably be using the same RSS feeds that everyone else is using to build your autoblogging content, your website will not be that unique. So, you need to be careful about the RSS feeds you use, and also look for other sources of automated content, such as data feeds from affiliate networks.

Another Option
There is another option that requires a little more work up front, but can set up your blog on auto-pilot for quite some time. This is using PLR articles and some sort of software to spin the content for originality. Here are some tools that can help you do that.

ZipPoster
This is a WordPress plugin that will load hundreds of articles onto a site with the push of a button — and post date them so the content will be published slowly over time.

Originizer
This WordPress plugin turns your duplicate content into 100% original content in the eyes of the search engines.

WP Spinner
This WordPress plugin not only helps you rotate content, creating alternate versions, but will also help you create dynamic layouts, rotating adds, and more.

These three plugins, working in tandem, can help your autoblogs gain been search engine results and give your visitors a bit more value than traditional autoblogs.
