Wp Robot Users Give Wp Review

I was cruising through forum and on this particular post they were looking for wp robot reviews. I found it really interesting to see how others were succeeding with wp robot. So, I though I would steal some of the wp robot reviews and post them here for others to see. Wp Robot really works….. if you want to get into autoblogging….just get it!

Wp Robot is quickly becoming the wordpress plugin of choice when it comes to adding content to your blog automatically. Autoblogging is becoming more and more popular and more and more complicated. One thing you don’t want, is having your autoposter post in such a way that big G can recognize your blog as an autoblog…… wp robot will solve this problem!

Here’s the original posters question:

I´m curious as to the success rate with Wp robot. If it´s doing any good for you post some info. if you use additional plugins like wpunique add those too.

I´m looking to complement some other stuff with autoblogs but honestly have no track record on them. WP Robot seems baby pie simple so that´s my first option.

Advice welcome – if you have WP-robot stories – post ‘em.

Well, for me. I have made about 9 sales from amazon last month = 9$ lol This month from amazon 2500 clicks 0 sales. :/ but from Clickbank I made one sale last month worth 52$. But hey that’s and extra 61$ doing absolutely nothing just setting up Wp-Robot and letting it run. that’s on top of the money I make from my CPA sites. So overall it’s a good program. Just wish the CB ads were a bit longer.

I have been using WP Robot for a few days for posting amazon products and it works great. I have the other options checked as well (articles, clickbank, youtube) but they don’t seem to work. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

I use Wp-robot for all my autoblogs, IMO it’s the best plugins for automated content, plus the guy constantly adds new features and updates them for free.

have been using wprobot for sometime now.. made total of 103 sales in 2 months.. made $98 :P and 1 sale from clickbank
so i guess its the best software available on the net for autoblogging
===================
I’ve set up 40+ autoblogs with wp robot as the main autoblog plugin. WP robot rocks and I’m now concentrating on traffic.

Each autoblog seems to start making money in the 3rd month. Now several are clicking along nicely.

Keep with the updates
Don’t post too close together once set up (I post about 1 year’s content when I set it ups)
Use an A**load of keywords.
Post every 6 hours
=========================
what do u mean by how? :P
its pretty easy with wprobot.. just get it working.. and set up some blogs.. by some i meant alot of them :P
and then just start driving traffic.. actually that can happen on auto too.. so just forget about them.. and u’ll start seeing results in a month or two
=========================
Well I have set up 4 autoblogs with WPMU + WP ROBOT + Twitter poster plugin + I used also statblaster 7.0

WP ROBOT post each hour

I bought and set up a new dotcom domain and a new hosting with a dedicate IP on 30-Jan-10

Dashboard blog 1 : 52232 posts and 50452 comments
Dashboard blog 2 : 72067 posts and 124447 comments
Dashboard blog 3 : 45293 posts and 64289 comments
Dashboard blog 4 : 42005 posts and 57054 comments

Total result after 22 days for my 4 autoblog :

Amazon Ordered items: 20
Total items shipped 16
Clicks 164514
TOTAL EARNINGS: $48.21

Ebay:
Total click 55944
Commission: $ 7,75

Clickbank:
Total Hop 19,041
Number of sale: 0
Commission: 0

Voila !
=========================
I used it the first time 3 months ago and i have made more than 4k with it (in 3 months), it’s the best autobloging plugin EVER
This is how i have made profits with it:
-Searched for some good keywords with high traffic and little competition .
-Bought 10 domains (I have used the keywords i have find for better SEO)
-little work on SEO and 6 of my websites are in the first page of google and yahoo (this wasn’t hard task because i carefully chose the niches .
-the best blog is making about 14$/day in the third month (i have made some clickbank sales (i don’t use the ads, but i get an attractive baller , one on the header and another in the sidebar.
-Sold 8 of the websites and i kept 2 for my own
=========================
I used it in my cancer Blog, using onlywire multi submitter pugin with it. I am using google adsense alone
Posts – 850
Comments – 4,300
Adsense last month
Clicks – 270
earnings – $213.5
Only One Blog! WP Robots rocks!!
=========================
Interesting thread, have been using Caffeinated Content in the past but feel it has been left behind awhile now so was planning on buying WPRobot this weekend, looks far more all encompassing and supported better from what I see and hear.
=========================
for all those that have mentioned duplicate content causing google bans on either adsense or getting deindexed or slapped etc i would just like to say its absolute bollox…i have an autoblog that is almost all dupe content it is getting around 300 uv every hour is indexed by google news (hense the traffic) and has never been slapped, banned what ever…i even told google it was an aggregate when i applied for g news and they even mentioned it in their follow on emails
=========================
I use the WP Robot plugin for all of the content as it seems to do everything (pretty much).

What are paid backlinks? Incoming links, to your site, are what all of the search engines use as a criteria to define whether your website is worth listing high in their results or not. So, in very basic terms, if you have a lot of backlinks, you will be ranked highly with the search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc).

A backlink is just a link from another website or web page to your website or your page. The reason that the search engines use this as a measuring tool is because they “feel” that if your site is worth being linked to by another site, then your site must be worthwhile. There is a lot more that could be said about that but again, in a nutshell, it all comes down to this: the more websites that you have linking to your website, and the better quality the links (meaning, the more relevant the links are to your website), the higher you will rank in the search engines.

But building links yourself is a tedious, long and continuous process. So, not too long ago, people were very comfortable with paying a service to provide them with a backlink. But it didn’t take Google too long to figure out that this was happening and paid linking services started being penalized.

So now the rules are different. Google does allow you to buy links but they will put your links through the ringer to make sure you follow their guidelines. What this means for you is that you’ve got to buy links from sites that do adhere to Google’s constantly changing guidelines. If you are buying backlinks just for traffic, you will be able to follow the google guidelines. But if you are buying them to increase the SEO of your sight, then you should probably hold on to your money since the search engines only allow no-follow links.

However, while paid backlinks may not be the way to go, there are a number of incoming link services that you can choose to use rather than just outright buying backlinks. These services will actually do the link-building work for you rather than just selling you the links. Different services offer different features so just make sure that you do the proper amount of research to establish those that are really working the right way and keeping one step ahead of the search engine rules and regulations.

While backlink services will not be cheap, they offer a great alternative to you spending an enormous amount of time trying to learn about backlink-building and then applying it to your business. Choosing the right service allows you to let the experts handle that aspect so that you can go on to other business building activities. There are several link-building services to choose from and the list will probably continue to grow as long as it is common knowledge that backlinks are necessary for high search engine ranking.

Surprise…..why am I on page 1?

A friend asked why his site was showing up on the first page of google when compared to the other pages. Nice problem to have……right? :)

Anyway, I tried to answer. First here is his question:

I have 2 questions to the following:

How can a page from a site i have with a Google page rank of 0 and Alexa of 952645 with a keyword “wood relief panel” and Results 1 – 10 of about 3,030,000 for wood relief panel.
appear on page 1 of the Google search .

Below are the screen shots and the relevant links :

Quote:

http://www.google.com/search?q=wood+relief+panel

Your site is ranked #8 in my SERP’s for the search results on “wood relief panel”

I checked the page rank of most of the pages on page one, none have any pagerank.

google internal pages indexed 1500
Yahoo…external links 455

seoquake shows:
external links 53
internal links 176

The site below is #7 and right above your listing.
the site:

https://shop.theanimalrescuesite.com/store/item.do?itemId=39282&siteId=310

is ranked #7

it doesn’t have any pages indexed by google
it doesn’t have any external links in yahoo
seoquake shows:
internal links 219
external links 16

This is result #3

Site: http://www.novica.com/itemdetail/index.cfm?pid=68582

Pages indexed by Google =0
External links…Google =0

yahoo external links =0

seoquake shows:
internal links = 43
external links = 66

Also your keyword density is 4.86 for “wood relief panel”…..higher than most of the other pages.

Almost always it your position depends on links. Of course there are other factors but if your linking pretty well explains why you are showing up on page 1

I bet if you were able to get some keyword anchor text for “wood relief panel” and included the keyword phrase as alt tags for some of your images on that page you’d find yourself even higher.

This is just a brief look at your page and the others. I’m sure someone else can do a more thorough job, but looks to me like you’re all without pagerank, not that it matters much, and most of the top pages have linking similar or less than yours. One thing in common is that a couple pages ranking higher than yours have “wood relief panel” in their alt tags of the images.

Hope that helps :)

There is quite a bit of controversy about the right way to use SEO and build backlinks. Should you buy backlinks? Or should you go about building your incoming links the “old-fashioned way”. This is one hot topic in worldwide forums and not something that’s easily answered. There really is no right or wrong. If you’re a purist, well….. you know the answer…..go old fashion, link by link. If you want traffic and want it fast then you need a network of backlinks, any of the internet marketing along with some web design forums will offer some type of backlink package. Don’t forget to check out some of the blackhat forums, they have some really nice backlink packages.

In the past, big companies were the only ones that could afford in-house staff or outsourced workers to work on this facet of their online marketing, the facet which many would argue is the most important. Big companies can build enormous websites with hundreds and hundreds of pages. And they can do it very quickly. They have no problems getting backlinks to their sites. In fact, they probably  get millions of them which means that the search engines will prefer them.

Small business owners were forced to build their own backlinks. Until recently, they didn’t have the resources to have this done for them. So they could in no way compete with the huge corporations that gobbled back links up like candy and forever insured their top spots in search engine rankings.

But it’s become easier for the small business person. There are now services that allow the smaller fish in the pond to buy backlink that don’t cost an arm and a leg. However, there are some important concepts to keep in mind and things that you need to avoid.

First of all, remember that all backlinks are not the same in quality and that obtaining a bunch of low-quality links can actually harm your search engine ranking rather than improving it. Secondly, while buying backlinks can save you lots of time, it is not cheap and you are at risk for being flagged by Google (in particular) and the other search engines. And you want to make sure that you are not just throwing your money away to any service. Do not choose just the cheapest links to save you money. Do your research first.

=============================================

Stay away from hundreds of links that all come from the same origin (usually referred to as “link farms”). These are easily tracked and very much frowned upon by the search engines so they will get you nowhere fast. Also steer clear of businesses that advertise the buying and selling of links – these links will also sooner or later be flagged by the search engines and they are not worth the risk. Remember that backlinks have become a very hot commodity.

If you do decide to invest in them, you want to make sure you are getting the quality you pay for. Be careful if you buy backlinks that you must pay for each month. You’re better off to buy a backlink each month rather than paying for the same one over and over again. What you pay for your back link may vary. But make sure that you do the research before just choosing any service. Some highly recommended services include LinkVana and Neurolinker.

Email Deliverability Tips

Ensuring requested opt-in email is delivered to subscriber inboxes is an increasingly difficult battle in the age of spam filtering. Open and click thru response rates can be dramatically affected by as much as 20-30% due to incorrect spam filter classification.

Permission

Confirming that the people who ask for your information have actually requested to be on your list is the number one step in the battle for deliverability. You should be using a process called confirmed opt-in or verified opt-in to send a unique link to the attempted subscriber when they request information. Before adding the person to your list they must click that unique link verifying that they are indeed the same person that owns the email address and requested to subscribe.

Subscriber Addresses

When requesting website visitors to opt-in ask for their “real” or “primary” email address instead of a free email address like Yahoo or Hotmail. Free emails tend to be throw away accounts and typically have a shorter lifetime than a primary ISP address.

List Maintenance

Always promptly remove undeliverable addresses that bounce when sending email to them. An address that bounces with a permanent error 2-3 times in a 30 day period should be removed from the list. ISP’s track what percentage of your newsletters bounce and will block them if you attempt to continually deliver messages to closed subscriber mailboxes.

Message Format

Usage of HTML messages to allow for text formatting, multiple columns, images, and brand recognition is growing in popularity and is widely supported by most email client software. Most spam is also HTML formatted and thus differentiating between requested email and spam HTML messages can be difficult. A 2004 study by AWeber .com shows that plain text messages are undeliverable 1.15% of the time and HTML only messages were undeliverable 2.3%. If sending HTML it is important to always send a plain text alternative message, also called text/HTML multi-part mime format.

Content

Many ISP’s filter based on the content that appears within the message text.

    Website URL:Research potential newsletter advertisers before allowing them to place ads in your newsletter issues. If they have used their website URL to send spam, just having their URL appear in your newsletter could cause the entire message to be filtered.

    Words/phrases:

    Choose your language carefully when crafting messages. Avoid hot button topics often found in spam such as medication, mortgages, making money, and pornography. If you do need to use words that might be filtered, don’t attempt to obfuscate words with extra characters or odd spelling, you’ll just make your messages appear more spam like.

    Images:

    Avoid creating messages that are entirely images. Use images sparingly, if at all. Commonly used open rate tracking technology uses images to calculate opens. You may choose to disable open rate tracking to avoid being filtered based on image content.

    Attachments:

    With viruses running rampant and spreading thru the usage of malicious email attachments many users are wary of attached documents. It’s often better to link to files via a website URL to reduce recipient fear of attachments and reduce the overall message size.

CAN-SPAM Compliance

The January 2004 Federal CAN-SPAM law introduced a number of rules regarding the delivery of email. It’s important you have your legal counsel review your practices and ensure you are in compliance. The two most important rules include having a valid postal mail address listed in all commercial messages and a working unsubscribe link that is promptly honored to remove the subscriber from future messages.

Reputation

Reputation services are often used by large ISP’s as a way to vet email senders regarding their email practices and policies. Businesses listed with these services are then given less stringent filtering or no filtering at all. Several reputation services are:

  • http://www.isipp.com/iadb.php
  • http://www.bondedsender.com
  • http://www.habeas.com

Relationships & Whitelisting

Contact with major ISP’s and email providers is essential in letting them know about your requested subscriber email. Many large providers such as AOL and Yahoo have specific whitelisting programs and postmaster website areas to ensure your email is delivered as long as you meet their policies and procedures in handling your opt-in list.

Email deliverability is about ensuring requested opt-in email is delivered to the intended recipient. While no single tip will enable you to get 100% of your email delivered each one utilized as a group can go a long way to reaching that goal.

How WordPress Can Save You Time

WPQueen Complete Wordpress GuideWordPress is, without a doubt, one of the most popular content management systems or CMS available today. More than 1% of websites operational on the Internet use WordPress as their CMS. Considering that there are millions and millions of websites online today, 1% is truly saying a lot.

The reason why WordPress is so popular is because it provides its users many benefits. Primary of these benefits is that WordPress is open source and free to download. You can tweak your copy of WordPress to make it work the way you like it, and you do not have to pay for using it at all.

But one of the greater benefits other than you do not have to pay a shilling to use WordPress is its functionality. Using WordPress can truly save you time whenever you need to update or make changes to your website. Any webmaster will tell you that the reason why you need to use CMS, be it WordPress or not, is to make your work on your website less time-consuming.

How can using WordPress save you time in working on your site?

Easy Installation

Unlike a lot of CMS software, WordPress does not take its sweet time to get installed on your system. WordPress is actually popular for its so-called five-minute installations. You can start working on your site using WordPress in nearly no time at all.

Also, if it is your first time to use WordPress, you would not find the user interface worrisome or intimidating. As long as you know how to read and how to use your mouse, you would be fine with using WordPress even if you do not have any technical knowledge to guide you.

Organised Content

There would be many times when you would need to update your website but you want your updates to go live on a certain, specific date. Do you store your updates on your hard drive or on a removable storage disk and wait until that specific date to upload changes to your website?

With WordPress, you do not need to do that. You can upload your website updates just as soon as you finish them, even though they are not supposed to go live yet. Just schedule it to go live on that certain date.

This is certainly helpful if you have a blog and you work on all your posts for the week on a single night. You can schedule your blog posts to go live when they are supposed to go live.

Spam Filters

One annoying downside to having a website is getting a lot of spam comments and spam email on a daily basis. There are even websites where the spam goes up by the hundreds. With WordPress, however, you do not have to waste time swimming through spam. WordPress has a default plugin called Akismet, which automatically blocks them.

Complete Wordpress Guide

Categorisation for Easy Searching

If your website is made up of many pages, you would not want to spend a lot of time just hunting for a particular item. Your visitors would not want to do that, either. The solution to this would be categorisation, and it is a function that can be easily used with WordPress. Categorising the content of your website would make searching for items or pages faster.
