bambam, are you caching the images?
Works fine on my end.

It's not an option in wp-autoblog. I think thats just in o-matic right?

I've still not made my mind up about wp-o-matic, i noticed that it doesn't give atribution to the original author, anyone had any problems with that?
 
You're missing this important feed, pal. :)
$keywords="stuff separated by the plus sign"

Damn, i didn't even think about ebay!

Well thats just opened up new opportunities. I'm not gonna sleep tonight now.

if you look at the wp_autoblog_trim_excerpt function, it does a 'strip_tags' on the content. I'm going to try running my copy with '<img>' in the second position in the function and see if I get some images.

In other words, on about line 46, I'm changing my copy to:
$text = strip_tags($text, '<img>');

If you look at the docs for strip_tags, PHP: strip_tags - Manual , that should allow the img tag through the filters, but I don't know if it's the only place that the img is getting hung up n.
 
I might as well add to this post a great place to get your keywords is go to Google Adwords and use their tool for generating keywords and put in a real general term, example: real estate and just save all the variations of the keyword examples it spits out to keywords.txt and use bam_bam's php code.

Been redoing all my splogs like this.

Thanks bam_bam! I would +rep you again if i could!

Thanks man, i'll take a look and see what else i find.
 
fucked it up

Hay all.

If you added the image tag exclusion to the strip tags in the wp_autoblog script then I'm sorry, you should take it back out.

Here's why...

That image there is an advertisement from pheedo- someone's gonna get charged for displaying their ads on my site. So it's fubar. Take it out.

I'm trying a different technique. I'll let you know how it goes.
 
OK...

I was actually new to everything this forum discusses until a few days ago I think I spent about 15hrs total reading the forums and following links given by other more successful posters. However, unlike some I didn't just read and do nothing with what I was learning. I've kinda dove right in head first it seems. Hopefully with my ideas and niche I can do something, chances are I will probably screw up and want to bang my head on a wall lol.

Ok so with all that ramble bamble I'd like to thank the much more experienced users for their input they instill as well as Bam Bam for this more than interesting post. :D
 
bam, do your feeds has full content?
I was trying to find a way to get the full content, including images, to make my page look less spammy.
But the full content usually has the author's name, will it make the page actually more spammy?

what version are you using? I can't install it, I read from its own page that the latest version does have problem.:xomunch:
 
anyone got a copy of BAMs wordpress zip he had in the thread.. it is gone now.. gives 404. If anyone got a copy of it, please share!
 
Thanks Bam for the new zip url I want to try this too but didn't know where to start.:bowdown:
thydot
 
I got my first blog set up but I'm wondering if this is the way it should be.

I put into autoblog 10 rss urls I got with Bam's script and ran it. ( about how many keywords should I use the script for?) That produced over 400 posts and created archives for the last 6 months. Is'nt that too much?

I can't find info on how autopost works but today it seems to be adding more posts even though I didn't hit run script on the plugin panel...is that correct? It will just keep posting every day without me hitting the run script button?

I also noticed that some post are off topic and porn related. How do I filter these?
Thanks for any thoughts,
thydot
 
BamBam, thanks!! installing that version of WP with that version of wp-o-matic, it actually works, 1st time.
