but didn't you do your autoblog using eli's script?
I used the file you uploaded, but it only has summary.

solars · 11-01-2007, 11:42 AM

you can create the autoblog with the descriptions to, as long as there is content..

smap · 11-01-2007, 11:57 AM

^^^ I hope so! I thought mostly you were getting traffic from pinging the aggregators (man I may really be talking out my ass here) - anyway I'm confused why you would need the full articles.

I've got a few of my sites live now and am fetching and pinging every 5 hours. Anyone have a guess when I should see traffic? Is there a way I can search and see if my feeds are being picked up?

Yup, but i use an older (I think) version of wp-autoblog. One which has the option to grab Extracts or Full Feeds.

I started seeing good traffic within 24 hours, but mine was detching every time somone visited. So it was like a rolling stone, once it started it just grabbed more and more!

Have faith brother, they will come. Oh yes, they will come.

Well then, please share your version, mate.

::emp::

bam bam · 11-01-2007, 12:46 PM

It's version 1.0 - i think Eli's version is 1.1 but i'm not sure. I'll try and find a link.

edit: Found It...

bam bam · 11-01-2007, 01:07 PM

Has anyone else thought about setting up cycle sites and selling the traffic via 301's?

DBWebDev · 11-01-2007, 04:13 PM

Just thought I'd give an update on my progress - no where near as good as everyone else, got bogged down in lots of offline work so haven't been able to work as many hours.

I used all the information that I've gotten from this thread and others, and just using a couple of basic changes I've made one of my old blogs go from nothing a week to about a dollar. Yes, a whole dollar - everyone laugh at the newb. I still have social media promotion stuff to try and proper link building so I reckon it might turn out to be half decent, then just make another few hundred of them.

I have another 6 sites in the pipeline and have just got my reseller hosting sorted out so hopefully will see some better figures by the end of the month. But I think the main point of this challenge was to get people's arse's moving - and that's certainly what has happened for me.

A dollar is good man, ya gotta start somewhere!

A dollar a site will be good if you have 100 such sites and they all give you a $ a day. This will make you join the Famous $100/Day Club.

Wooody · 11-01-2007, 07:15 PM

Not sure if would be of interest to you guys but I found this tutorial on how to install WP locally

How to Install WordPress Locally on Windows | J David Macor.com

I've just done it, very very easy to install. Thought it would save on bandwidth etc. during development sites.

Just about to test to see if wp-autoblogs works with it while local.

argh01 · 11-01-2007, 07:40 PM

I'm still struggling too, pal.

I did have a dollar a day too.
Now I'm trying for 10 dollars in 7 days, though my current level is 5.19/last 7 days.

A Buck A Night - Creating Passive Revenue Streams

( ok two of those dollars were sales on this, note it's an afflink, and note you can easily cut off the aff part )

A great marketing idea for only $1! - OneDollarIdeas.com

PS: don't feel like paying one dollar? Burning with curiosity? Don't bother, the idea is worth what I paid for it.

I have been brainstorming the last couple of days on ways to use spent cycle site traffic. This sounds like a great application.

SCapitalist · 11-01-2007, 08:00 PM

Alright, I have been following this thread all week and have finally formulated my game plan. I am a huge fan of Eli's SEO Empire article and must have read 20 times the week it was published. Then this week I stumbled on this thread and it has filled in so many of my questions.

Before I get started with my plan, I would like to thank all the people that take their time to contribute to this community. I have never seen a forum and helpful or as valuable as this one. I have been lurking for a while now, generally because I felt I didn't have much to contribute. Now is my chance! I look forward to meeting all of you.

My Plan:
I want to create a large network of autoblogs. These blogs will have 5-10 feeds per blog. My goal is to create 2000 blogs in the next three months. (A little outside of the scope of this challenge, but hey, a goal is a goal!)

Methodology:
I have developed a primary and secondary strategy to accomplish my goal.

Primary: Install WordpressMU on a dedicated server. I will use Eli's autoblog zip and hopefully I can get it compatible with WPMU.
Secondary: Use RSStoBlog to create my network. I would rather not spend the $250, but will bite the bullet if need be...

In order to produce such a large number of blogs, I will be contracting out some of my work to Independent Contractors (trusted friends) on a revenue sharing deal. The goal is for each person to create 125 blogs per month.

I am hoping I have get the setup time down to 10 minutes per blog. I believe this is possible.

I aim to make an average of $.15 per day per blog.

If anyone sees any apparent flaws in my logic, please shout it out! I will post updates as I progress.

bam bam · 11-02-2007, 05:10 AM

10 mins per blog is really possible. Good luck to you sir. I'm looking forward to this!

I check this version, but it seems that it does get the full content from the RSS(that is, it is not getting the content by actually reading the blog's url), but the problem is , some seeds (actually all of mine) just return summary as content. Do your seeds offer full content?

Definitely - I'm at that point now with my WPMU setup.

I'm cautiously optimistic as well.

About 100 visits in the last 24 hours. Only 19 AdSense impressions (I guess spiders + ad-blocked accounts for that?). I page indexed in Goog and already had an organic SE visitor.

Shit - I see the one site I haven't really even worked on yet got 2 clicks already for $.35 total... Guess I know where I'm focusing today.

This one is gonna be a video blog so new stuff for me to learn today.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but you need to find feeds that offer full text (vs. summary). The plugin used isn't going to make a difference.
