An autoblog is a blog that updates itself with content automatically. It usually does this by automatically utilising the RSS feeds off other sources. It takes material from other sites when they have been updated, and automatically places it on your site.
There are of course potential copy write issues if you just take from any source. As a rule you should make sure you are using RSS feeds that allow syndication. For instance, Google news allows you to use their feed as long as your site is non-commercial (no advertising etc.). If in doubt you should always ask for permission. There are many quality article directories where you can use certain categorised feeds to ensure relevant information. There are also many niche article directories that also allow you to use their content.
There are many advantages to autoblogging. If done correctly, they can bring a nice amount of income with little effort, and can help you promote other sites and blogs that you may have.
There is nothing to stop you setting up 100 of these, or even more. If each one only makes a dollar or two a day then it is worth it. Hopefully some will make a lot more. An autoblog takes a few hours to set up, then maybe a day or two to link build and promote, then that is it - you can move on and create the next one.
You don't have to spend any time creating content as it is done automatically. All you need to do is make sure you choose quality content that is related to some sort of niche, rather than a random collection of topics. It is surprising how well this can work and can look like a human edited blog if you choose your sources carefully.
Another great advantage of autoblogging is that since you have the freedom to set many up, you can link to yourself with all the different blogs that you set up. It's a good idea to do something like this - link blog A to blog B, then blog B to C, then C to Dand so on in a chain. This will help you wit h SEO, although you must still do some link building outside your network in order to bring in the link juice.
You may wish to use all your autoblogs to feed to a main site that you may have - you can do either - or both. Autoblogging can be used to make money in its own right, or it can be used to further your existing sites and blogs. It's your call. In SEO terms you can benefit from the links pointing to your main site, and also you can attract more visitors and interest due to your regularly updated fresh content.
You may simply wish to just set up one autoblog that is attached to your main site. The regularly updated content should help encourage people to come back to your site often to see the updates on your blog. If you come up with a clever system, then it can really help you get ahead in the online world.
