I don't get it? - Auto Blogger Pro
 

ok so i must just be stupid.. i was reading about auto blogger pro.. so whats the big deal.. does it update your blogs submit ping ??? ( yes i did read about it and have searched ) ..does it help? how many blogs can i mange with it.. if manage is the correct term...is it worth the $299.99 ..

appreciate any feedback on it

bump for a answer and feedback

a license is only good for one domain

and whats even worse is the license is non-transferable

I think he means the AutoBlogger Standalone.

It's cack, forget about it.

The best one out there is rss2blog. Uses a ton of different templates, blogs and pings, uses either rss feeds, text blocks, Serps listings, anything you damn well want to make your pages unique.

The key in all this mass blogging lark is keeping the blog fresh with unique / semi-unique pages.

Good luck :thumbsup

its a hub

yes i was looking at the standalone.. nd thanks for the feedbck guys

CunningStunt i am checking that out thx!

I'm not sure where you're getting that information. A license of Autoblogger Pro Stand Alone is not limited by domain -- it's unlimited.


What's your Autoblogger Pro user name? What version did you use?


I try to stay out of threads like this, unless it's to correct misinformation. You may have seen the thread recently where someone was selling the ABP domain doing nice traffic and a few sales per day. You may have also seen the thread where an ABP user was ranked #1 for "ps3 preorder" in Google. Or you may have seen Chio's threads with his rapidly rising stats.

We don't consider rss2blog to really be a competitor, but you should certainly consider all of your options.

ICQ me if you'd like a demo of Autoblogger Pro Stand Alone from someone who has actually USED it and knows what they're talking about.

:thumbsup

ABP is a god-send for those who know how to use it. Especially if you're managing multiple blogs or in some people's cases...hundreds and thousands.

do you use it.. pretty happy with it ?

i was talking about Auto Blogger Pro, you said i cant transfer it to another domain

I'm very happy with it. I was on the old one for a while and got pretty good with it. I'm just getting caught up on ABPSA.

I've got about 20 blogs right now. But as we speak, I'm building a network of nearly 200 and ABPSA is going to run every one of them.

Once it's licensed to a specific domain, of course it can't be transferred. That's a free copy, in essence. The Stand Alone version (incidentally, the only one we sell) can post out to UNLIMITED domains.

What is your Autoblogger Pro username? ICQ me if you have a specific issue and I'll look into it.

Please expand! Why is it good for this?

The standalone posts out to multiple blogs. This way you dont have to manually update 100 blogs every day. I have the old version, so I cant comment much on the SA version.

when will you have discount edgeprod? :P my pocket is empty right now heheh want a barter? :) i've heard goodthings about the stan alone. would want to try it although im tight with my budget for this month maybe next year..

The whole idea is shit, it's used by assholes who would rather rip someone elses content and spam the site with adsense etc. It's a really shitty way of having a blog, making money off other peoples work. Let's face it, that is really what this is.

Thanks em. Sounds interesting.

We discounted the software yesterday for the holidays. It's back to its normal price now.

Look for more "discount days" as we approach the end of the year. :thumbsup

lol you forgot to mention rss2blog fucks up pics with wordpress
doesnt show

LOL You obviously have never used Auto Blogger Pro and probably not even RSS2Blog but you do know how to post an affiliate link. :thumbsup

RSS2Blog was king of the auto posters in its day but that day has well passed. It has fallen way behind in the last year or so with its present feature set and shitty support.

Go with Auto Blogger Pro.

Theres no money in ABP. :)

btw ABP has the best support I've seen in a while. :thumbsup

Thanks. A bunch of people have been saying that, and I want everyone to know: it means a lot to me. I'm sitting here, on my barely-limping-along old PC, because I just had a hard drive crash on my "main" box. I'm answering tickets, thinking about how I'd like to be doing anything BUT that -- namely, getting my PC fixed so I can work on ABP 1.21 and later versions.

To hear that makes it worth it, though .. so thanks! :)

OR... you can use your own feeds to post out to other sites so you can boost traffic throughout your own network. :2 cents:

Eh, YOU know this, *I* know this, just about everyone knows this, but HE isn't going to get it. He's stalked ABP posts before with this nonsense, I just tune him out. Amusingly, I hadn't even noticed his post until you quoted it. :1orglaugh

Thanks for setting the record straight, though! :thumbsup

The method you described has proven VERY effective for boosting traffic. So effective that we're looking at ways to add an "internal" feed system to Autoblogger Pro Stand Alone, which will allow you to not only create and manage your own feeds (which the code is almost complete for), but also create your own content to be syndicated from WITHIN the system.

So how do you avoid getting penalised for duplicate content?

That`s what I was wondering.
The problem with all these autoblogger programs is that if you are taking RSS feeds off some other sites you are going to get penalized for duplicate content.

exactly what I think, which is why I dont use it

I don't want to be rude by continually posting the corrections to this, so I'll leave it up to the search function.

A lot of people make the mistake of thinking this, too. A number of people have made some nice posts to clear up some of the fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

But, in the end -- results speak for themselves, of course.

three cheers for abp

Yeah, that's certainly one of them. Forgive me for not having the list in front of me. I had a hardware failure of my drive yesterday, and don't yet know what can be recovered, and what can't.

I went more in-depth on how people misinterpret the "duplicate content" rumor and spread what basically amounts to hysterical accusations out of thin air.

It'd be funny if it wasn't so damaging to what we're trying to accomplish.

I usually just point to the ABP sites that CLEARLY get SE traction while using feeds. Look at all the #1 rankings, traffic, etc .. it's hard to argue with.

But some people you'll just never convince. Really, it comes down to -- do you want to waste your time creating content that may devlier the same results as providing your users with a "roll up" site featuring the content of a VARIETY of sources? I mean, shit, I read my own ABP sites, because I think they're very informative, and I *like* the mix of content.

In ABPSA 1.20, we added an "alpha" version of the Markov engine, too, for people that are really paranoid about duplication. That covers both sides of the arguement. *dusts off hands*

:thumbsup

EDGEPROD, how does this product compare to this "movable type"? I am new to the blog sphere, so I may be a little unknowledgable about it, but I definitely want to find out more. I have one guy on my staff that is an expert at this, I just want to see what else is out there and what ways I can maximize the investment period. I haven't released our blog yet, but I will be in the new year sometime, so I am using this time to get to know the basics of blogs...I particulary don't even consider blogs anything more then a fad, or trend, and I use the net daily in fact most of the hours in a day are spent on a computer and the net, and still I have never come acrossed paths where I got interested in blogs...weird...Anyhow if you can email me some info on your product that would be great, and point out how it's advantagous over movabletype for example because I hear about the later management tool more often. Thanks and my apologies to the thread starter if offended by my request....I suppose I should have started a seperate thread...Thanks again.

P.E./Webmaster let them fly.. the more info i have the better as to use this product :thumbsup

Yeah -- what Goo said -- the more info in here, the better. :)

I think MT is a fine product. It certainly serves its purpose as well as WordPress, and I feel the major "difference" is in how people prefer to interface with the products.

We chose to concentrate primarily on WordPress with Autoblogger, as it is what the majority of the people here (and just everywhere) seem to use. Now, it doesn't mean it's BETTER -- look at Mac OS versus Windows versus Linux, right? -- it just means that we cater to the largest market for our product.

Autoblogger Pro isn't a competitor to MT, as it doesn't include its OWN blogging system -- it posts OUT to blogging systems using established API's. I believe MT supports the same API's as WordPress, but I'd have to check.

The main benefit of Autoblogger Pro is the ability to organize your feeds, apply rewrites (change words or phrases), relinks (link to different things when it finds certain words or phrases), sourcelinks (give credit where it's due, in whatever format you'd like), regex (regular expressions, take out, add to, change basically any pattern you can define), headers and footers (even random ones! make random headers for each post), a markov engine (change words around, make your content fairly unique) .. and really, a ton more. :)

Basically, Autoblogger Pro puts your site on "autopilot" .. letting you update the site automatically (using cron and ABPSA) without having to make posts EVERY day. You can still add your OWN posts to the blogs, too, making them even better.

Hope that answers some of the questions. :)

god i love the duplicate content myth, it is SOOOOO blown out of proportion

Mostly because people want to sound like they know what they're talking about. I don't want to offend anyone, but 99% of the people talking about it haven't even TRIED sites that fall into that category. They just want to sound smart, and in the meantime, they end up throwing mud on legitimate practices.

Ah well, can't win em all! :thumbsup

bump for edgeprod the whore, you dirty whore, lemme rub your head!

<3 you fag

after installing it on ONE of my domains, I went from 3k a month to 15k+ a month. And I dont even use it the right way.

Which head? If it's the one in my pants, meet me at Xbiz Hollywood. Bring beer.

So, what? You're asking for a refund? Fuck you! DENIED! :1orglaugh

Glad to hear you're seeing success with it!

Edgeprod, when is the forum going up? The only reason I knew 1.20 was out was because I happened to search for threads by your name and saw it in your sig...

yeah, http://www.abpsa.com/ should really have some sort of updates to it

maybe a static thing up top that says "CURRENT VERSION: 1.20" or something

only if it it makes me a stand up guy because i rubbed your head at a show!


why don't you come in IRC anymore fag?

It does, hehe.

Click "Changelog" -- but yes, it needs a "current version" notice.

Complete hard drive failure yesterday. Looking at the Mac Pro machines, trying to decide how "loaded" I want one.

LOL...that little teeny weeny link? bah!

Hehe. The better to confuse you with!

But there's lots of good info in there. :)

Yeah you are right, I have no idea what I am talking about...

I have ABP installed on a domain and have seen what it can do.

You have to sell a product so obviously you are gonna say what you need to.

The fact that you said duplicate content is a myth and doesnt exist shows how ignorant you really are.

From now on I will take everything you say with a grain of salt...
