What Is An AutoBlog?
Autoblogs are text-rich and are frequently updated. Search engines loves fresh contents, and as a result blogs are rated highly by search engines. Starting a blog is easy. The hard part is to regularly write content for your blog. Like it or not, content is the heart of blogging. Without content, your blog is dead. For those who loves to write, they have a head-start. Words flows easily for them. They are passionate about writing and their niche. These are the successful bloggers. But for 95% of those who blog, writing fresh contents regularly is tough. That is where autoblogging comes in.
Autoblogging is short for automated blogging. Autoblogging is about automating your blog by automatically creating and posting fresh contents to your blog. The autoblog software or plugin will automatically fetch content from other sites via RSS feeds, text files, video sites, blogs and search engines, based on the keywords provided. It is basically a “set-and-forget” system that will automatically grow the blog by adding new content everyday.
You can use your autoblog to target a niche and earn Adsense income or affiliate commissions by promoting Clickbank, Amazon and other affiliate products. The thing with autoblogs is that you do not have to be passionate about the topic, as oppose to a normal blog.
Before you start a normal blog, you have to ask yourself – What are you passionate about? You have to be passionate about your blog topic, as you have regularly post fresh contents on your blog. Without passion, you would not be able to continuously do research and remain motivated to update your blog, and post contents regularly and for a period of time.
With autoblogs, you are pretty much free to choose any niche. Yes! You do not have to be passionate about a topic, it is wide open. However, to be successful you have to find a niche, which you can profit from. So, instead of listing your passion list, go for a money- making list. On top of that you need to know the pitfalls and the key tactics to create successful autoblogs. Bear in mind that, once you start an autoblog rolling, you will enjoy immense benefits as more and more pages are indexed by the search engines. In the process, it will bring a never-ending traffic and profits on autopilot.
An Effective Autoblog Strategy
Before we jump in further, it is good that we set our sights on the blueprint for successful autoblogging.
1. Proper Keyword Research – Look for a keyword which is has a high monthly Search Volume (demand) and a low Google Search Results (supply). The domain name you purchase will be a exact match of this keyword. This will make it easier for your autoblog to compete better and easier to rank on the top page of Google search results.
2. Keyword Rich Autoblogs-The autoblogs should be highly keyword targeted. Use the compiled keywords from your keyword research to fetch contents based on the keywords. It’s important to organize your postings into keyword-targeted categories so that you can develop a SILO structure, boosting your search engine rankings.
3. Autoblogging is a numbers game – Don’t just create 1 autoblog and wait for the money to come in. Why just stop there? Create 20, 50 or 100+ blogs over many niches and keywords. Your target is to earn at least $1 per day for each blog. If each blog earns more than $1 then that is an extra bonus. Assuming you have 100 autoblogs with each earning $1 day per day. you should get at least $3000 per month.
4. Be Natural – Most who just started with autoblog made the mistake of abusing the autoblog software by creating hundreds of postings a day. This is not wise as sooner or later Google will catch up with you and penalise you – either by banning your Adsense account or “blacklist” your blog as a spam blog. Keep your daily automatic postings to a minimal ( 3 – 6 posts a day).
5. Promote Promote Promote – After the autoblog is up and running, your autoblog should be indexed by Google and traffic should be coming to your site from the search engines. This will be increased as more pages are generated and indexed. However, for you to really start earning good money, you have to promote the autoblog by building back-links through social bookmarking, blog commenting and also carrying out other traffic generation tactics.
