Getting Feeds/RSS
This is probably the most difficult part. Once you think your whole website is set up, you need to find some great content websites. Preferably blogs but forums work great too. A little trick: Check the source code of a website when a blog links his RSS to feedburner. Often you can find the Wordpress feed in the source code and you may find the full feed there.
The source code of a website can be brought up using the control + u on PC or command + u on mac.
I'd recommend using Google blog search:
Code:
http://blogsearch.google.com/
Type in your keywords and hopefully, if the niche has big competition, you will find loads of websites to draw content from. It's difficult to find RSS feeds for smaller niches, so I would suggest using Yahoo answers auto poster plugin to solve that problem as well as UAW or YouTube videos.
Once you got your feeds, insert them into the autoblogger plugin of your choice and see your content grow over time. I'd suggest you to post as less as possible the first few days and slowly increase over time. My schedule for most of my blogs are already running on 100 minutes per interval which is a lot. Keep it at about 5-10 posts per day max. Make sure your site layout looks acceptable but in such a way it won't decrease the chance of them clicking your ads. Difficult yes, but keep experimenting with fonts and sizes to match Google Adsense's. Don't overdo it too or you might get banned :P
My first autoblogger plugin was WP o Matic - but I got stuck with the cron job via my server. It did complete the cron job and send the ping to WP o Matic but it didn't really react to it. So Autoblogged is my second choice, but now I see it's power - it will be, apart from Youtube videos, my only choice.
Building backlinks
Don't want to sound blunt, but if you want quality backlinks then you really have to make them yourself, which is time consuming (BOOO!!). There are different types of backlink strategies such as (I'm talking about permanent backlinks - not those you bought for 1 month or something like that):
Linkwheels (making tons of websites on free hosts and interlink them - in short)
Angela's Method (make profiles and then link back within the profile to your website)
Spamming (xrumer or SEnuke)
article marketing (ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com etc.)
Social networks
I'd prefer to make everything automatic and thus the onlywire plugin comes into play yet again. Most blogs are just set and forget and then you should start building backlinks. Digg and Stumble are a great way to get started with.
All about Google and autoblogs
Does Google like autoblogs? Will duplicate content get indexed? How much can I make from my autoblog?
One thing: Google does like autoblogs, but not in such a way you are claiming the content as your own. Mashget.com is such an good example, that guy is earning tons of money by simply holding his d*ck in 1 hand and the other hand on the mouse refreshing the page of his AdSense account.
Yes duplicate content does get indexed, I'm experiencing it myself, I've never rewritten content and got over 30 pages indexed in Google. (PM me for link)
See this email I got from a friend of mine:
-----------------
Hey Mark,
nice, I didn't think that this could work that nicely .
Are you just fetching RSS feeds and posting them? Why would Google
rank you for duplicated content? Is it because of your social media
like YouTube and Twitter?
Best regards,
friend
-----------------
A whitehatter, BOOOO. Results will be coming soon.
Help!? My blog got deindexed by Google
Don't worry, your victim of the so called Google-dance. I've suffered from it with my whitehat blog too but got indexed once again within a week. So don't start help threads before you have waited a week. The point is to check if the Google bot still comes by, if so then keep on posting content and keep building backlinks naturally. Then the chance of getting indexed is pretty high.
How much can I make from autoblogging?
This is a too general question which can't be answered. Generally you should be happy to make at least 10 bucks a day, but that is on a rare occasion. Most blogs are only earning 1 or 2 bucks a day. But that clearly already covers the cost. The point is that you should never stop building autoblogs. If autoblog is your thing, keep at it - I don't think it will die soon. Unless Google decides all the information can be found on Wikipedia lol.
Conclusion
I have a friend which is really interested in blogging but doesn't have time to start, at least that is what he says. (I know he is spending all his time on profile websites getting girls and dumping them 1 week later).
My advice to all the beginners: start autoblogging - get a host - and follow this thread, read for a few days on the basics and figure out which niches you want to focus on. All the info are in these threads on this section of the forum. Abuse or lose!
Let me know what I missed and I can add it to the post.
Results coming for november and onwards (pending)

You might ask me why I am not using either platinum SEO or HeadSpace2, simply because I don't feel it's necessary. I want to have a less plugins as possible. The more you have, the more you need to edit and set up during a Wordpress installation. I'm not a pro on these plugins so can anybody tell me what the big difference is between platinum SEO and all in one? They both produce the same html code snippets and the options are look-a-like.
Plus I have the feeling it doesn't really matter at all which plugin you have as long as you have a meta description/keywords and your Title in every category and post.
You might also notice I'm not using any social plugin apart from the multisubmitter. This is because it's an autoblog! You don't want visitors to stay, you want them to click the ads. It's already difficult to achieve that, above all - if one visitor decides to stay and read content, he is as useless as a pig in the desert. Probably only eating bandwidth and you won't ever see a backlink in return. My experience is that even with a WHITEHAT blog, people don't submit your content to social websites. That is why you need to do it on your own, don't depend on others.
Now that is where the onlywire multisubmitter comes into play. Just create an account on their website (onlwire.com) and start adding your own social bookmarking account data. (digg stumble twitter diigo propeller etc.) Fill in your onlywire acc name and password into the multisubmitter plugin and it will automatically post your content to the social bookmarking website you filled your data in everytime you post content on your autoblog - which all goes automatic with the plugins. Couldn't be more lazier than that right? The only problem with this is that you need to create a few onlywire accounts because you can only use the API from onlywire 5 times a day.
Content Generating Plugins:
-AutoBlogged (my prefered rss feed fetcher)
-WP o Matic
-WP VideoTube (probably the best video fetch plugin out there)
-Wordpress WriteAgain! -> * see note
-Unique Article Wizard Plugin
-Don't use CC - caffeinated content - it's outdated
Most of these can be downloaded from the download section here on BHW, use the search function on top to get the latest version. I do have a strong believe in purchasing these plugins as it will help the creator for his/her/their work. Currently using Autoblogged for all my autoblogs, I just love it (got a multi site license for 50 autoblogs) if you customize the output for the feed in just the right way, the posts it creates are awesome.
* Writeagain costs a bit of money and can be purchased from a local BHW member. Can't remember his name but to be honest, I've never ever rewritten content for my blog - not even manually - just a linkback to the original article is enough. On top of that I still outrank the original website with many posts. (oh and I don't use UAW too - too lazy ^_^)
Currently I'm using this template for the majority of my blogs: (can be edited in each single feed on the bottom - autoblogged only!)
%if:video%
%if:thumbnail%
The full story can be read/found on WEBSITE NAME HERE
Replace the 'website name here' and do this because you don't want to give the website credit using the post title text, but rather the website name itself which looks more natural in terms of link building. You can also use the full content which is what many bloggers prefer. Everyone should have their own method right? I understand because it allows them to be indexed for more keywords and thus get more visitors. Problem is with some feeds it also copies some faggy text like comment links | submit this post | bookmark this post | etc.
I don't know exactly how Yahoo pipes work but it should be the solution for that problem. A couple of hours learning on that should fix that I might be making a guide on how to use Yahoo pipes in the future.
Monetization plugins:
Also mentioned in the ultimate thread for autoblog resources.
-AdSense Deluxe in conjuction with Kontera Ads or something.
I don't really use plugins to manage my ads on my blogs. I'd rather insert them myself into the code because for example - I've noticed that when using two large rectangles 336x280 in a table tag get quite a lot of clicks. Result can be seen in the picture below. (yea some dutch ads in there too )
Click to enlarge
It isn't really blending yet but that can be solved with a few CSS color changes. So that was it for the plugins. I'm basically not using more than 1 content generator and I use the whole basic plugin package included from the rapidshare link above.
To make something like that use this code:
I also make sure to use an AdSense Channel with every single ad unit I put on a website. Why? First off, it allows me to track the performance. Secondly I can increase the cost per click I get. How? Adwords users can target your channel and compete with the keyword targeted ads which normally appear by default. They have to pay more to get on top of your ad units which use that specific channel. Thus give you a higher CPC.
A good example is from my friend yet again, his game forum brings him a total of 5 to 10 cents a click. He earned about 10 bucks a day without optimizing his ad units. After he made them targetable and emailed some advertisers to use AdWords to target his ad units, his CPC rose to 20 to 30 cents a click.
