Why Automated Blog Networks Can Help You Make Money

Dave Smith — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 00:10:07 +0000

It is accepted that blogs are a good way of getting an online presence as they are popular with the search engines such as google and yahoo, and if used well provide good information to people searching the web, which is what the search engines want. However it is time consuming writing enough blog posts to get even one blog noticed, let alone trying to create a series of blogs as a basis for an online business.
So one way of getting round this is to allow your blogs to host other peoples blog posts. For this you need to have your blog as part of a blog network or to use automation software to drag blog posts into your website automatically for given keywords.
There are a number of good blog networks around, and they work by allowing members to post on others blogs. Basically there are two options in the network, to post an article or allow your own blog to be used by others for posting articles of theirs, or you can do both. If you post an article on others blogs you can add a link back to your own site and that will help get you backlinks to your website. Allowing your own blog to have others post articles on it will again help you get backlinks and also gives you ready made content without you having to write all the articles yourself.

You can now also find some excellent automated software that allows you to get articles pulled into your blog from various sources including you tube and several article sites and gives you full control on how many and when they post, you just enter keywords and the articles are dragged in, with a chance to review them and use them or not. It means it is very easy to create good content for your blog and then write your own articles when you have time. My own experience shows that you start to get visitors much more quickly and with less effort than trying to do everything yourself. Of course these sites are not free but for me the cost is well worth the time it saves and the better chance to get visitors and traffic. With more traffic of course it means more revenue, and that is what everyone wants.

Since starting using automated blog networks I have been able to start building several themed blogs and use cpa and ppc advertising on them. The visitors are starting to roll in and the amount of effort required to keep the blogs active is much less with the software. What is often left unsaid when your are being sold the next best thing is that it is only any good if you have visitors to buy from you. Getting visitors is more important than having a perfect product to sell. You need a market to sell to first. So its worth spending some cash on a system that genuinely helps you to create traffic to your websites.

Article Marketing

I’m sure you’ve all heard this before, but I will add to the advice anyway as it is important.
Article Marketing helps your website or blog get indexed in the search engines.

There are many SEO techniques that can help get your website noticed and ranked in the search engines, but some are difficult or take time to perfect. There is also the fact that search engines can constantly modify rules which means you need to keep on top of the changes.

However one good SEO technique that doesn’t change is getting links to your website from other websites.
Article marketing is one of the best ways of doing this.

For a start it is a genuinely liked method as far as the search engines are concerned as they are trying to encourage good information to get posted on the web for other people to read. That is after all one of the main points about the web, it is all about seeking and providing information.

Good well written articles are exactly what is wanted. The side benefit of this is that if the articles are posted widely on article marketing sites, they will be widely read and via the resource box at the bottom of the article, they provide a link back to your site. The more articles you write, and the wider the distribution, the more links back to your site.

I see the benefit of this when I check my sites in Google’s Webmaster Tools
I can see the links back to my sites that have come from articles.

Of course blogs have a similar benefit because natural links result from posts and replies to the blog where web url’s are in the posts. Plus you can also use a blog link in the resource box of articles that you post to article marketing sites which will boost your blog ranking further.

The problem with articles is the writing of them. I can write articles ok if I put my mind to it but it is time consuming so getting well written articles from other sources and changing them enough from the original to use yourself is one good way to have a good supply. You can save time by using what they call ‘article spinners’ to change the articles.

So, you need a source of articles that is well written. The one I am currently using is called:
Article Underground
21 day trial is only $9.95 and articles are very well written, unlike many I have tried where I’ve had to nearly completely re-write due to poor grammar and spelling.

The other tool I can recommend to save a lot of time is:
Mass Article Control
This comes with 2 different software programs, one creates many articles from just one, ideal to enable you to post different variations to different sites for instance. The other submits the articles to many different articles sites. the thing about the software is that it makes things easy for you but you do remain in full control of it. You can see which sites you’re submitting to and select the ones you want easily. With the article creation tool you can paste in whatever article you want and highlight phrases or words to change, keeping in control at all times. I’ve used a few different tools but this is the best and easiest I have tried and is my current preferred tool.

Regardless of whether you decide to invest in tools to help you, article marketing is definitely something you want to be doing if you have websites you’re trying to promote.
