As like me, most of the people reading this are website developers who are always looking for a way to make steady profits off of little or no work. Thats were 100% automated sites come into play.
I personly have made 100s off of selling automated sites, now i am openly giving the secerct to how i make automated sites out to the public.
I am sure some people know the "secerct" but i'd like to make it a more common feature on the web.
Heres the Step by Step of setting up a 100% automated site.
Step 1. Find a domain, i recommend something that you can find lots of rss feeds for, I.E Gaming consoles, Webmaster News, Real World News Ect.
Step 2. Find a template, i recommend free open source templates for quickness and easiness of editing and setting up, but feel free to use paid and custom templates.
Step 3. Find rss feeds that fit your sites "Nitch" in other words if your sites xbox related go to a site like gamespot and look under rss and find Xbox News or what ever subject you want select it and take the url to the xml or feed and copy it.
Step 4. Take the url and go to www.myrsssource.com and past it into the proper form, than fill out the css so that it all matches your sites design.
Step 5. Copy the html at the bottum of the site and past it into your website's html.
This will give you a source of auto updating content great for incressing pagerank and also great as sites that make a fair amount of money off adsense and yahoo ads.
For those of you who don't want the link back to the site feel free to pm me there is a paid verison i can show you. It's $2 a year for full access to the paid verison.
Hope everyone enjoys automated sites and please feel free to post yours sites i'd love to see them!
Thanks for this! I've been trying to find some info on this subject for a while. I just have a question about duplicate content though. Will a site get penalised for duplicate content for this?
Is it ok to use google news feeds for something like this?
They mention in their terms of servcie something about not using on commercial websites, but surely most sites if not all are commercial in some sense?
May i also suggest using wordpress as a base and there are several plugins to automate the rss..the only problem i see with this methid is that search engines will lower rankings a lot
As the suggest reason people go for automated site is to get more search engine traffic right ..no use if the rankings decrease.
If anyone needs helps i would be glad to help..just pm me.
i normally put some rss feeds in site to increase ... the traffic because of this form it seems to be updated every day... Is good for mini sites/or sites with no work requiered... but always as an extra and not the mainfull part of the site
Don't rely on rss feeds as your sole source of content! I'm currently helping two NP members who did just that (autoblogs) and had their domains dropped from google. Both are doing re-inclusion requests as a result.
It clearly states in their webmaster guidelines that such sites are a no-no. "Purely scraped content, even from high-quality sources, may not provide any added value to your users without additional useful services or content provided by your site"
So, using rss to automatically get content onto your site is search engine friendly as long as you have some content that is orginal such as the about us page. Correct? If yes then wouldn't people be able to do this with blogs?
depends on coding system the verison i have shown is javascript sadldy google doesn pick java script. My sites i do a bit of content thats enough to get google to pick on some hot keywords.
Besides that i have heard some rss feeds have been able to catch up on googles system but i am unsure of the exact coding or plugin used.
