Automated Article Posting to WordPress Blogs
Nikola Jankovic recently released a new version of the Automatic Blog Plugin for WordPress, which syndicates free articles from article directories, and posts them to your WordPress blog according to categories.
If you’ve been reading ProfitBlogger for some time now you may have got a similar (but now dysfunctional) plugin called Easy Blogs Pro by Kim Standerline. Automatic Blog Plugin works along the same concept of using free articles as automated blog content, but I think it’s much simpler to use.
While testing, I started receiving my first articles almost immediately. First, upload the plugin to your WP blog’s plugins folder and activate it. Then, you’ll see the main configuration screen, I’ll mention the important parts here:
Configuring Your Automatic Blog
Although technically you can choose to receive all articles from all categories, I strongly recommend you find a niche for your blog and only accept related articles.
From the main niche, create sub-categories on your blog and choose to syndicate related articles. You can also select the amount of articles you want to syndicate, and I recommend you keep this to below 10 if you want your blog to appear “organic” to search engines.
If you want to super-target the type of articles you get, you can also enter related keywords. But keep in mind this may result is fewer articles being delivered to your blog.
Monetizing Your Article Blogs
Of course the easiest way to make money from these type of articles blogs is with Google AdSense, but you can also easily use the Ninja Affiliate plugin to automatically convert keywords into affiliate links.
Before you decide to use this plugin, make sure you understand the concept of auto-pilot blogging, and how this differs from other models like niche blogging and authority blogging.
Apart from my own WordPress plugin that has been put on the backburner (perhaps indefinitely), Nikola’s plugins is perhaps the most straightforward and works like a charm.

After quick play with I must say this is the best autoposter for WP I have used.
Thank You Gobala !
Although this is a very good plugin, but I still prefer to write original content.
Hi, i think it is very useful tool for blogger who are very busy. But need to apply the correct technique as mentioned.
Thanks Gobala.
I am really confused here Gobala – I click the link and I am taken to a completely different product called “Blog Paycheck”! OK – what am I doing wrong or do you have a corrupted re-direct? Help!

Hi Richard, sorry wrong link, I fixed it
Would better to integrate this technique with writing an original and unique content. It’s also better to modify the post if we have enough time to do it.
Thanks for info.
You are absolutely right about the duplicate content issue Vavai. I speak from personal experience on this. The fact is that you can actually get a whole domain banned from carrying advertising for such an indiscretion. It is a most unhappy experience when you have spent ages making improvements and are starting to see some positive revenue to just have the plug pulled. Still, moving forward positively, the lesson has been learned. The original problem was not on account of any attempt to be deliberately naughty, just newbie fever! To this end Gobala has written some very helpful reviews of plugins to help with this problem and of course not all plugins are created equal!
Hi,
My blog is in Portugues (Brasilian Portuguese). Yes there such an Automatic Blog tool in Brasilian Portuguese?
Hey Gobala,
Thanks for writing this post.
I’m interested in your ninja plug-in. My only question is it ok to alter the authors article like that? I just don’t want to have to remove the site…
thanks buddy
I think Ninja plug in is just like contera or content link which visitors brought the product link keywords. And this product is own by Jason..am I right?
Nope, it’s owned by Pawan Agarwal

Very useful plugin! Saves you a lot of time if you are a heavy blogger, but have no spare time.

No issues of duplicate content as someone has pointed out earlier and get penalized by Google for doing so?
Yes,You are right..google will ban websites for duplicate content..you may try other adservice options
Yeah. Duplicate content may get you penalized by google adsense and other adservice. Never had the guts to do this. Anyway, great post.
