For those of you using the script from BlueHatSEO and are autoblogging, keep in mind that the script attempts to post trackbacks to the original blogs.
Few things to note:
- That script can be used for a more friendly less spammy autoblog, but it was designed for cycle site type blogs.
- With most autoblogs, you will have ZERO unique content. With Markov you can make it look unique, but it's not necessary for this type of site.
- You traffic will come from the trackbacks it generates and blog aggregators
- In all likely hood, your autoblog will not rank for anything - ever.
- If you are running a true cycle site (1000's of posts daily), you're going to only have the site up for a few weeks, don't sweat the small stuff.
- Cycle sites are for links primarily and money secondarily
At this point, I'm almost wishing that I never mentioned cycle sites as it seems that they are confusing a lot of people here. I apologize for that. Eli's BlueHatSEO contains some really advanced ideas / concepts, and if you are a true n00bie to internet marketing I don't expect you to completely grasp them. I'm not a total n00b (just mostly
) and I have to read Eli's posts multiple times to get exactly what he's saying.
Again, the purpose of this thread is to get people to take action. If you make money, that's even better. But don't bash your head against the wall trying to figure out cycle sites, or anything else that is really confusing you. Move on to something you are more comfortable with and come back to the cycle sites / advanced concepts later.
My fear is people will stick with one idea, not understand it, get frustrated and give up.
DON'T DO THAT! If you are stumped, move on to another type of site. There are literally thousands of different kinds of sites:
- eCommerce sites - selling something physical or digital
- Static MFA site - basic informational site designed for high adsense conversions. Example: shotguns-shells.com. I know the guy that made this site and he'd HATE me calling it an MFA site, but that's what it is, plain and simple. BTW, he once told me that he gets about 15% click through on the Adsense blocks.
- Blogs - you know what those are
- Autoblogs - you should know what these are by now
- Comparison site - allows your visitor to compare multiple items to find the best deal.
- Game site - maddgamez.com is one of mine as an example
- Purely informational site - cspy.org is one that I built and sold. Information about proxies. Very little monetization. /edit/ Okay, there was very little monetization / ads on it when I sold it.
- Forums - you're on one. Lots of content, harder to monetize
- etc, etc.
If anyone is really just going nuts trying to figure something out and you're not comfortable asking for help in this thread or on the open forum, then PM me. I'm pretty confident that if you ask anyone here that has chatted with me via phone, email, PM, AIM, etc. they'll tell you that I'm easy going and sometimes even helpful. Don't feel like you are imposing either. I'm a mod, it's my job to help out.
