Why Push Button Autoblogging Websites Are A Bad Idea

Why-Push-Button-Autoblogging-Websites-Are-A-Bad-IdeaSince I began my journey into Internet Marketing a few years ago, I’ve noticed that a lot of Internet Marketers have been pushing push button autobloggin style websites. These push button websites take several forms. Here are two of the most common ones:

  • The pre-made variety where all you do is add your own domain name (yes that means that there are hundreds of websites just like yours floating around the net)
  • The auto-blogging ones where you get a website made for you and then content magically appears on your site

Types of Push Button Autoblogging Websites

Of course there are variations of these push button sites. Some of the websites are AdSense ready. Some of these auto-blogging websites allow you to create multiple website so you can interlink your websites with back-links. Others grab articles from article directories and then auto post to your website. If it was that easy and if it was that effective then everyone would do it. Personally I do not know many people who have made a lot of money from them without there being significant customization to the auto-blogging site.

Many of these push button websites do one thing – they make money for the owner or promoter but not for you. Some promoters sell these auto-blogging solutions for $3,000 or more. These are what I call expensive band-aid solutions – they don’t teach real Internet Marketing skills. This will not set you apart from the thousands of other people who are doing the same thing. They can also be set up for under $300 per year – one tenth of the price often charged by some prominent promoters who target people who look for instant get rich quick schemes.

The auto-blogging solutions I have seen so far leave a lot to be desired. I personally have purchased one of those systems and I have also tried an auto-blogging plug-in which shall remain nameless.

The downside of autoblogging plugins.

  • It does not automatically do the SEO your site. You still have to go into your site manually and adjust the Page title, description and keywords.
  • You will also need to adjust the tags. For example, the tags that automatically got added to my blog on getting pregnant were, Bible, Christena, Pregnant, Review and Williams. Only one of those tags was relevant for my niche.
  • The links go to someone elses site – you need to add other solutions to stop link leakage to other sites
  • You still may want to add banners to your site so you can promote your product or even the affiliate product you are promoting

Why you should not have push button autoblogging websites.

  • You don’t own the content – more often that not you are just putting in your own affiliate link and directing people to websites you don’t own.
  • You don’t control the content. Thethe auto-blogging solutions come from other people’s articles that link to the owners website not yours – this means you can’t control the content and add in your your own links
  • Some of them don’t allow you to add Google Analytics to your site so it makes it impossible to track what is working and what isn’t
