Building Quality Autoblogs Without Footprints

You may have heard the expression autoblogging before. What autoblogging basically means is a way of creating content for your blog without having to do it manually You can take advantage of content that is already on the internet and republish it on your own site. This means that you havea blog that has a constant flow of information without the headache of creating it yourself.

If you use WordPress as your blogging platform you will know already that there are a number of ways that you can generate content for your blog on auto pilot. You can use rss feeds from syndicated content, you can mash those feeds together for more unique content, you can use content fed from article directories and blog networks as well.

Most free plugins are limited in their functionality and don’t allow users to monetize the content that they are republishing. Of course, you could add monetization methods by hand but that would be a slow process and defeat the purpose of an autoblog. The premium plugins generally provide for monetization methods to be incorpoated in the content from the major affiliate networks.

Even premium plugins have a downside though. All the content that is being generated generally cannot be customized. So it ends up being displayed the same on every site that it is being used on. This leaves a footprint for search engines and your competition to easily find you. In addition, the content does not have a unique flavour meaning that you are losing opportunity to add in your own search engine optimization and marketing messages.

Usually, to add your own content you would create your own articles and add this to the blog. Whilst this gives your blog an air of uniqueness all the posts that are being automatically fed in do not have anything unqiue attached to them.

The ability to add your own custom text to all content being imported on your blog is a major change in the autoblogging world. It allows the user to really customize their blog and bring about a completely unique look which adds value to not only the visitor but also the search engines.
