Autoblogs are really a head turner when it comes to efficiency and performance.

@indielab -there’s a WPMU script out there – i won’t link to it to avoid abuse, but its where you’d expect it to be – that’ll create wordpress subdomains en mass from an excel spreadsheet. combine that with a little multisite manager magic and an outdated copy of the autoblog plugin, and you’ve got a recipe of spam, brother.

I’m interested in this topic as I was running my first autoblogs for my own in this days. Altough I haven’t found a software that runs the routines automatically without my interaction on wordpress up to now. I would love to hear which software/plugins you are using and if they run totally on their own.

Thanks in advance.

I have a few running right now, and although they create very little traffic compared to my manual blogs, they do see some income from relevant product links in their niche. Now that I’m writing about it, I probably need to take a look and see what I can revise to drive more traffic.

@Curtis Earl,

Do you mean actual domains or sub-domains?

This is a pretty interesting idea. I’m very curious what the results will be. I can imagine this definitely being an easy way to generate some business with very little overhead.

On a sidenote. The OG Upstart Blogger design has really been hitting the spot for me over the last week or so.

I’m glad someone is opening this topic up for discussion. Too many bloggers immediately jump to the conclusion that automated blogging is only for spammers. Thats like saying cars were invented to cause accidents. It’s all about how this sort of software is used.

this is wat easy with wpmu. you could create 200k blogs from one install; all with different domains. seriously.
