My earnings/traffic the first two weeks

My earnings/traffic the first two weeks

So after a week of reading and doing some research on BHW I finally started my first autoblog. I got inspired by some of the big threads here and decided my first blog should be in the tech niche (yes I know how general - but at least it's a simple niche). After I made some dummy posts and got indexed in Google I activated Autoblogged plugin to pull content from other websites.

I mentioned earlier I had loads of free time so my website looks prof designed and for some odd reason I'm getting emails from people I don't even know that they like my website. Talking about irony... I'm trying to monetize my traffic, yet instead they love the website lol.

Below is a screenshot of my analytics stats for about 10 days. Traffic spiked one day to 400 because I'm actually outranking the original article from the real website More about that later. I'm not sure if it's smart but I should give an example, so search for "hp tilt shift" and you'll know that I'm talking about.

Steadily making money from about 200 visits a day within the first 2 weeks with just 1 blog. Below are the results once I added Google AdSense to my blog. It's not a lot but the blog is young and it already covered my hosting costs for the month so that isn't too shabby.

At this point I'm wondering how it will look like in 2 years... will I give up on autoblogging or do the stats like this skyrocket in the future? All the things to worry about, yet I strongly believe that making an real income from autoblogs could be real.

Hosting/Servers

Ok here I might have an advantage above others, a friend of mine has a huge game forum getting 30k visitors every single day and luckily he allows me to have unlimited autoblogs on his $100 per month rackspace cloud server
As you might know you shouldn't have more than 5-10 autoblogs on 1 server so that is why I'm paying my own server too. My knowledge about servers and IP's doesn't go far but I know you need several different IP's or Google kicks your ass and I know how much that hurts :P

My own server is hosted on HostGator with a baby package. Only 10 bucks per month which is practially nothing. You can earn that back within a single day. So my advice for all starters is to have at least $30 ready in your bank account to get the required hosting etc. You actually don't have to spend money on plugins, they can be found on this forum.

I don't want to link to Hostgator else you might think it's an affiliate link, so just Google it or type it in directly. (I'm not selling anything - just teaching).
