My experiment with auto blogging

I came through this term called autoblogging. It seems that alot of people are claiming that they make passive income from adsense just by setting one up. So, I thought maybe i should experiement with it and give it a try. I decided on the weightloss niche because it seems to be the buzzing keyword term in adwords and alot of people are looking for information about it. So i went to godaddy, research a while and got myself this domain called “Lookhealthy.org” It’s a pretty nice domain and i am glad that it’s not registered yet.

Then i set up an hosting account in my server and installed wordpress, upload a free theme and a plugin called Wp-omatic. What this plugin does is to display feeds content into your post and it will automatically fetch a number of new articles from the feed defined everyday. Then, i encountered the first problem, that is full rss feed or partial rss feeds. Alot of article directories and new publishing site like yahoo news or ezinearticles only enable partial rss feeds, so it means that the content of your post will not be completed. It will be all half completed. So, i will have to leave linkback to the source, if not the post will be meaningless.

Ok, so everything is set up now and i just have to leave the blog to update itself for a few days and see the results. Now here’s another problem that exists, google do not like duplicate content in websites, so i guess now i am facing the the problem of getting de-indexed in search engines. #$@#$@##$@

What i learn from this experiment?

1) Auto-blogging won’t works in long term. You may get short term results but it won’t last. It’s better to do things the traditional way, creating unique content etc. A visitor will not want to revisit a blog that mainly just fetch content from others.

2) Auto blogging for content blogs is a crap! Waste of time.

3) Auto blogging might works for video sites like in the porn niche. As in this niche, people are just trying to look for videos, who care where the sources are from?

What i pay to learn?

I pay $8 bucks to learn this lesson, but i think it won’t be a loss because i registered quite a premium domain.

My Plans for LookHealthy.org

I guess now that i have this free-lying domain in my account, i will have to develop it, if not it will really be a loss. So what i intend to do is as below:

1) Build a blog using the domain.
2) Buy a premium wordpress magazine theme to make it look good. I am looking at revolution theme at the moment.
3) Get some good unique content into it.
4) Get some directory submission to build up the metrics of the blog.
5) Get the auto blogging system to work only in one category called “articles”.

Ok, work piling up for me, i still have not finish the coding work(stopped for 2 weeks, lol) for the community i am starting. I still haven monetized the blog that i bought and now there’s a lookhealthy.org for me. There’s only 30 days left for me before i am serving the national service. Shit, it reminds me of the movie called 30 days of night.

If there’s anyone who is free and want to help me out with lookhealthy.org, please let me know.
