Roy Wallace's AutoBlogging Profits

A couple of days ago, we took delivery of our 15 ready-made WordPress autoblogs from the folks at Profit Jackpot. I must admit that to set up 15 WordPress autoblogs, install and activate the necessary plug-ins, select appropriate niche market keywords and monetize with Clickbank and Google Adsense ads would have certainly taken me longer than the 10 days it took Profit Jackpot. As I have mentioned in a previous instalment of this post series, I intend to divide these sites into 3 separate categories:

1. The first will consist of sites like this one that you are reading. Although it was designed and set up as an autoblog by myself, it does NOT run on autopilot. The majority of the posts are written by me and supplemented by specially selected and edited content gathered using article jackpot or some other means. At this point, Autoblogging Profits (this blog) is the only one currently set up. I will take three or four more from the 15 delivered and convert them over the next few weeks.
2. The second set of autoblogs will remain essentially as they were delivered except that I will add other methods of monetization using Commission Junction, Google Affiliate Network, Amazon etc. I will carefully monitor the autoblog content and remove any ‘ garbage’  posts which will be profiled in a later message. I will also enhance the visual aspects of the pages to make them look more distinctive. Finally, I will develop backlinks through social networking, article marketing and other methods. You can see the results of our first tweaked WordPress blog here: Nokia N8 Apps, Tips and Tricks. Eventually, five of the fifteen autoblogging sites will be modified in this way.
3. The final set of sites will be the control set (approx. 5). On these remaining sites, I will do little extra customization except to tweak the keywords and add new methods to increase profits. Google Adsense alone with a few hotlinks to Clickbank affiliate offers are probably not sufficient to generate real money. You can see a sample of a WordPress Autoblog EXACTLY as it was the day it was delivered here: Improve your tennis game

All three sites were started at approximately the same time give or take a day or two. Here are some relevant stats for them so far:

 Of course, it’s early days to make any judgement about the relative success of the sites after only 3 weeks but there would seem to be some evidence that the totally manual blog has the edge over the semi-automatic autoblog which in turn exceeds the results of the fully automatic one. In our next post we will highlight some of the plug-ins that were auto-installed with Profit Jackpot and those that we have added ourselves that we feel have increased our traffic.
