Roy Wallace's AutoBlogging Profits

Auto-blogging is simply a method of mass-producing specific niche marketing websites that update themselves on a regular basis with fresh content relevant to the chosen niche. There are many so-called pushbutton or one click systems on offer at any given time which promise to allow anyone to get themselves set up with an instant money-making goldmine. In theory, an auto-blogger could set up 100 niche sites, each generating only $2 of adsense revenue per day and that would represent a monthly income of $6,000. Annually, those same auto-blogs, which should be largely stand-alone, could produce an automatic income of $72,000. This makes autoblogging seem a very attractive proposition to all and sundry. Therein lies a large part of its downfall.

As you probably suspected, it is really not as easy as the gurus would have you believe! In order to produce even this moderate amount of income from a single niche market site, you will have to do some substantial legwork in setting up WordPress blog frameworks, installing relevant plug-ins, finding niches that work, doing critical keyword research and promoting your sites to the search engines. This is far from a slam-dunk as sites like Google, Yahoo, and Bing are always changing their algorithms to try to ensure that the best, most relevant content is what the searcher sees first.

In order to prevent your site from being sent to the Google sandbox, you have to have some way of making your content at least appear fresh and unique. This may require some substantial editorial work on your end, which requires more time than most auto-blogging software gurus will admit, but it is absolutely critical if you don’t want your sites blacklisted, and the search engines downgrading your domain name in their programs. Such black marks are hard to have erased, and make any future internet ventures difficult to get off the ground.

Profit Jackpot offers a unique way to modify your content to ‘fool’ the search engines into classifying copied content as new. WP Simplicity semi-automates the process and allows you to personalise any content before publishing (our personal preference). Any automated solution that spawns many junk sites will eventually be sought out and nullified by the search engines.

Simply slapping a few Google Adsense spots on your site and attracting visitors is NOT going to make you that $2 a day. Our first blog, which is well established in its niche and attracts 200+ visitors a day does not make even half of this amount. You need to find other sources of revenue like Clickbank or Amazon affiliate offers to increase your chances of making money. However, sourcing relevant offers, setting up affiliate accounts and producing contextually relevant ads and placing them in your content is both technically challenging and time-consuming.

In conclusion, we would advise that you think carefully before you give your hard-earned cash to the next autoblogging guru who claims that they will make you the next autoblog millionaire. You can follow our own efforts in our 90 Day Trial series of posts where we have set up 25 autoblogs and track their progress using varying methods.
