Hi guys! Great thread. Here's my scandal...
I started a "legit" autoblog called Starfleet News Service. It was designed to scrape RSS content and aggregate it in one place for Trekkies and SciFI fans to read news on the latest movie and other news all in one place.
Then, in my research, I discovered this thread.
Damn. I mean.... DAMN...
Now I am fascinated with this idea of starting autoblogs on various topics for fun and profit. Thing is, I am ethically against spam of any kind. But the more I look at this scheme, the more I ask myself "wh's getting hurt here?" I mean this truly is a "victimless" scheme. Who are we ripping off? Google? Boo fucking hoo. Kinda like Robin Hood, man, steal from the rich to give to the poor (me).
So here are my concerns:
1) Can this work with subdomains using WPMU?
2) I noticed GoDaddy likes to yank accounts and domains. What about
Dreamhost? Any warnings there?
3) How many feeds should I use in WP-Autoblog per "niche"?
4) How many posts per day is a good target per "niche"?
5) What is the best way to get your site indexed and "out there" for people to
find and use?
6) Rewrite scripts. I found one called WP-Rewriter but it really just makes the
content more gibberish than anything. Does it really matter if the content is
usable? I mean as long as it is "unique" Adsense lets it pass...
Thanks again for a wonderful thread.
