Once you’ve installed the plugin, you can configure it based on keywords, categories or a particular YouTube profile. Then, you can select to publish content every X days / X hours, and also to “humanize” it.

You can assign videos to a particular category, and you can choose to also grab the comments if you want to. This is how ac actual page generated from WPVideoTube will look like:

You can see the actual title and video from YouTube. The keywords used for that video will be imported as “tags” in your WordPress blog. Below is how the syndicated comments will look like:

Should you get this plugin?

Well, that really depends on what type of blogger you are and what you want to achieve. If you’re into niche blogging or autopilot blogging then this plugin will definitely help you either add content to an existing blog, or create a new one from scratch.

You can get WPVideoTube for as little $29.95 for the Lite version, or the developer version for $299. Get more info here.

The subject of “autopilot” blogging is perhaps the most controversial, yet the most intriguing. Imagine if you can spend one hour to set-up a blog, and continue to get traffic and income from that blog for the next 2 years without every touching it.

A lot of people ask me if it’s worth their time creating an automated blog- my answer is “It depends”.

Trying to use RSS to Blog, WP-O-Matic or other similar syndication services gets you nothing but duplicate content, resentment and a lingering headache. Needless to say, that type of autoblogging just doesn’t work anymore. So what does?

Today, you can (if you know how) get content that is 30% – 100% unique at zero cost. Yes, that’s totally unique content without getting a writer. If your content is unique then your chances of making money from your blog, especially via Google AdSense or affiliate programs, becomes significantly better.

So here’s how I recommend you build an autopilot blog today..

Step 1: Sign-Up With Article Marketing Automation for Content

I’ve blogged about Article Marketing Automation before, but what I didn’t stress in my earlier post is how easy it is to get free content in a variety of topics that are at least 30% unique.

You can choose to automatically accept any article that is more than 30% unique, or you can choose to manually approve articles before publishing them to your blog. In fact, I find that most of the users in AMA settle for nothing less than a 100% rewritten article. Perhaps that’s what you should do to, even if it means you’ll be getting lesser free content.

Set-up niche WordPress blogs and choose to receive only related content, and you may also want to use some AdSense-ready WordPress themes to make the monetization part even more automated.

Step 2: Start a 3-Way Links Campaign

Once your site has already been indexed by Google (at least 2 pages), you should sign-up for 3-Way Links and submit your site. I’ve reviewed 3-Way Links before and till today I find it to be one of the best tools to build one-way links to your blogs automatically.

Step 3: Write Articles and Blog Posts for Links

You can do this through Article Marketing Automation or other tools like 1 Way Links or even the FirePow system.

All these systems work with some sort of “article spinning” tool that spawns hundred of unique variations based on your original article. The trick is to use the article re-writing tool at Article Marketing Automation and then modifying the same article for use in the other two networks.

The AMA version is much simpler to use and it really drives you to create truly unique versions since it focuses on re-writing entire sentences. If you find it too tedious to do this yourself you can outsource your project online for a reasonable price.

Step 4: More Content More Backlinks

I’ve written about 35 ways to get links, and you may want to read through that article again to get some ideas on building more incoming links to your blog. If you don’t mind mixing up unique articles with non-unique ones, you should also take a look at the automatic article posting plugin which works wonderfully on WordPress.

Either way, you must make sure you automate content and link building as much as possible. As opposed to other blogging models like authority blogging or niche blogging, you simple cannot spend too much time on an individual blog.

Although the social bookmarking hype has sort of died down since Facebook and Twitter started to hog the limelight, it’s still as useful today as it was before. Using a plugin like Auto Social Poster you can automatically submit all your blog posts to an “x” number of random social bookmarking sites automatically. It works beautifully.

Step 5: Start More New Blogs

Indeed, the most crucial part about auto-pilot blogging is the continuous creation of new blogs. However, you can only do this if you have successfully managed to automate the blogs, which means you no longer work on them yet the content and links keep coming in.

However, as you create more and more blogs, it become rather difficult to manage them all. I recommend you create them by “batches” of 3-5 sites at the same time, using the same themes and plugins whenever possible. Here’s where some mass-blogging tools like WP Blaster or WP Cloner comes in handy.

A more robust blog management system like FirePow is ideal but you may not want to go that far if you have your own system or way of doing things.

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.

Get It Here: Automatic Blog Plugin for WordPress

This time we’ll talk about auto-pilot blogging. Some people call it “spam blogging”, but I don’t. I think autopilot blogging is just as viable a model to make money online as the other two. It’s just how you do it that makes the difference.

Autopilot Blogging

Over a year ago, people used RSS to blog, WP-O-Matic and other similar services to “scrape” content from RSS feeds of other blogs and post it to their own as content. Most people only used a summary of the post, which can still be tolerated.

I mean, isn’t that the same thing Technorati, PlugIM and thousands of other syndication services do?

But then came a different breed of people, who copied your entire blog post including images. That really pissed people off. Unfortunately, if you’re an authority blogger there will always be someone stealing your content.

Here’s how this model breaks down:

• Visibility Level: Low
• Effort Level: Low
• Time to Profit: Medium
• Technical Level: High
• Expected Rewards: Medium

Visibility level is low because you never (ever) put your name or contact details on autopilot blogs. In fact most autopilot blogs have nothing more than scraped content and ads.

Effort level is low too, as the automation software basically does everything else once you set it up. Technical level is high, as you need to learn how to use a couple of software first before you can do this. Plus, you’ll also need to understand C-class IPs, web hosting and so much more.

Expected rewards is low, but the trick here is that while one blog may only make a few dollars a month for you, a hundred blog can surely give you the income you want. Then again, it takes a certain amount of technical expertise to manage a few hundred blogs, doesn’t it?

Is Autopilot Blogging for You?

I know auto-pilot blogging sounds appealing, but from my research it takes a certain type of individual to really make money from autopilot blogging. I am NOT that type of person.

Basically, if you accept and love the challenge of “mass production”, learning technical software and systems, and can command an army, then auto-pilot blogging is for you. Plus, you must be able to switch on “creative thinking” only as long as you need to find a formula that works. When you’ve found it, you need to switch off creativity and focus solely on duplication.

Again, I simply cannot do that. Repetitive tasks are just not for me. I question everything and always think “How can I change that?”.

Make no mistake: although everyone can learn a thing or two about planning and automation from this type of blogging model, you’ll only be making spare change with just a handful of blogs. What does it take to make a LOT of money?

Well a friend of mine used to have more than 1,000,000 BlogSpot blogs – or so he says. Yes, let me say that again: 1,000,000 blogs

The number itself is mind-boggling, but considering he was using in-house software that costs thousands to develop and had a team of worker bees building 100 blogs a day, it’s not entirely impossible.

However, according to him it’s all about “fire fighting”, or solving problems. That’s because while you’re making thousands of blogs other people are trying to shut you down, stop you from manipulating their system and so on.

Considering he was making five figures a month from Google AdSense alone, I assume it was still worth the try. However, eventually it gets tiring. In the case of my friends he has slowly moved away from the autopilot blogging model into other areas of Internet marketing.

Although hardcore autopilot money-making is not everyone’s cup of tea, it does result in the creation of a lot of interesting software we can all use. For example, all these software is the result for the need to automate and mass-generate:

• Auto Social Poster – WordPress plugin that enables you to automatically submit your blog’s latest entry to many social bookmarking sites
• WordPress Cloner – Clone your WP themes, plugins and setting to hundreds of other blogs
• Ninja Affiliate for WordPress – Ok this wasn’t strictly developed for auto-pilot blogging, but it fits in very nicely.
• 1 Way Links Network – Automate link building, get one-way links to your blog
• And much more..

From my research, auto-pilot blogging isn’t really that difficult to figure out – there’s a certain process in almost all successful cases:

Find a way to make money using blogs and content already available online – it could be from other blogs, Yahoo Answers, or any other easily copied source

• Study the process and identify all the key components, simplify as much as possible
• Find the tools to make automation possible, preferably develop that software in-house
• Using your automation software and your process, mass generate your results to a point where you make a lot of money

In the next video I’ll show you how to write “spin-able” content easily before submitting your article to directories.

You can read more about the JetSubmitter article marketing service here. Signup for free here, make sure you take the auto-account creation special offer.

I know the word “blog network” is going to ring some alarm bells with a lot of people, who can’t seem to differentiate the idea from that of building a “blog farm” – but the two are strikingly different. I know a few people who make their living with just one blog are going to jump up and say “that won’t work”, but this group should really try and expand their online portfolio using the “proven” and “legal” methods they talk so highly of.

The truth is, if you’re currently managing more than three blogs, you already have some sort of blog network. The question is, how well can you manage them?

Firepow by Andrew Hansen, which similar in some aspects to 1WayLinks, Article Marketing Automation and JetSumitter, is really a completely different blogging beast. Think of it as all those services combined into a single blog network management platform.

Now let me start with the one thing I don’t like about Firepow – the glaring red fonts and rather amateur-ish look. Yeah it’s true you should not judge a book by its cover but I’m guessing that most people would look at Firepow and think it’s some sort of second-grade blog spamming software.

If you can get over that, like I did, you’ll find that Firepow is probably what every blogger on the planet is looking for. With Firepow you can:

• Build and manage an unlimited amount of WordPress blogs
• Easily add / remove plugins and themes to all your blogs
• Manage content distribution and publishing to all your blogs
• Submit your posts to most popular social bookmarking sites

There are currently 1186 blogs available in the Firepow Blog Network. Now, since there are other Firepow users doing the same thing you are which is building more blogs and adding more content, you can also:

• Get free, fresh content from other members posted to your blogs easily , from Firepow’s “BNET”
• Content is unique because using the content spinner tool, every member gets a randomly spun version
• Get one-way links from other blogs in the network, helping your SEO rankings

With the new release, you can also import existing WordPress blogs into Firepow so you can easily manage all your blogs at once.

So do you need Firepow? The short answer is “It depends”. If you have only one or two blogs / sites than you can manage them easily, and you could easily sign-up with 3WayLinks, 1WayLinks or JetSumitter to get incoming links to your blog.

But, if you manage more than 3 blogs consider this – every time WordPress upgrades to a new version (and we know how often that is) you’ll be facing the impossible task of upgrading all your blogs. Plus if you have different plugins and themes on each, these need to be upgraded or fixed as well. It’s just a massive headache if you’re doing it by yourself.

Most people that have lots of blogs often outsource many tasks to maintain their sanity, but with Firepow it’s quite possible to do everything yourself on one central place. For now the platform appears to be stable and while testing it I didn’t come across any error screens, which is good.

Actually, I think this review alone is not enough for you to grasp the full capabilities of Firepow. You have to read the sales page to get your questions answered.

This new technology is called “article spinning” Ok, I’ll be honest and admit that it’s not exactly new – article spinning has been around for some time. But the way JetSubmitter works is that it spins the article then submits a completely unique version to over 600+ article directories. That way, each article is recognized as unique content and each backlink counts as a unique link.

(If you’re new to SEO concepts for blogging, refer to WordPress SEO Secrets for a crash course)

JetSubmitter is free to use, but there is also a “one-time-offer” to upgrade your account after the initial registration. With the free version of JetSubmitter you have to manually create an account at 600+ article directories but f you upgrade, it’s done for you automatically.

Yes, I did say “automatically”. You create a new Gmail account, enable POP and IMAP access for the account, then enter all the details into your JetSubmitter “Account Creation Project” tab and have a cup of coffee. When you’re done with your last sip you have an account at all 600+ article directories. It sure save you lots of time so make sure to take the upgrade option.

The New Face of Article Marketing

Here’s how JetSubmitter works:

1. First you create a “project” to select all the article directories you want to include, than enter your user name and password for all (if you upgraded you can skip this step)
2. Enter an article (doesn’t matter if it’s freshly written or a PLR article) then create “spin-able” codes in the article (see below)
3. Once you’re done save the article and select a publishing option
4. You can choose to submit your articles slowly (I recommend at a rate of about 4-5 sites per day) to make your submission process seem more natural
5. Sit back and relax as the system handles submissions for you, sending one unique version of the article to each directory, earning you one backlink per site submitted to

Does JetSubmitter Work?

Unlike 1WayLinks or Article Marketing Automation, JetSubmitter only accepts more “traditional”type of articles. It means that you’re not allowed to place links anywhere in the article except on the author resource box. Also, it submits your articles to conventional articles sites, not blogs.

Plus, the minimum word count here is 600, unlike 1WayLinks (300 words) or Article Marketing Automation (200 words) so you need to spend more time writing it. It makes sense though since most article submission sites won’t accept articles below 600 words.

The features I like to most is:

• the auto-account creation at all available article directories (if you upgrade)
• the time-release submission schedule to make it seem more natural
• the easy-to-use AJAX interface

At the moment though, there seems to be a lack of clear instructions but if you refer to this article while you’re using the system, things should become pretty clear after a while.

How 1WayLinks work:

• You sign-up for a monthly account, and add as many blogs you want included in the network
• Your blog then gets free content from 1WayLink, each post has 3 links in the to other blogs in the network
• You post your own article with 3 links to ANY of your sites, and it gets published too, giving you hundred of one-way links from different C-Class IP addresses

You’re limited to 200 syndicated posts a month, but by adding another blog you can increase that limit by 50 posts. So if you add four new blogs into 1WayLink in return you can have your post published to 400 different blogs, giving up to 1,200 links back to any site – which included WordPress blogs, Blogger blogs, HTML sites or even YouTube video URLs.

What About Duplicate Content?

Unlike traditional blog syndication systems or article marketing services, with 1WayLinks you can “spin” your article content by creating variations of sentences, synonyms, and different anchor texts. That way, every article published by the system is at least 30% unique.

However, unlike Article Marketing Automation you cannot determine the uniqueness level of each article, plus you cannot manually approve or reject articles. So you have no control over duplicate content as it’s all published automatically to your blog.

For the person writing the blog post however, there is an incentive to make it unique. If they want all their backlinks to count they must make Google see that each article is unique enough to be indexed and ranked. So they will, if they know what they are doing, spin the article using the built-in text editor before submitting it for review.

So Does 1WayLinks Work?

Although I am only blogging about it now that 1WayLinks is officially launched, I was part of the beta-testing group and have been using it for more than 2 moths now. I’ve published to posts to about 400 different sites within that time and most of the keywords I’ve targeted are already in the first page Google results.

So does 1WayLinks help improve your SEO? You bet it does, but here’s my advice:

• Target the correct keywords – go for more specific or long tail keywords and it will be easier to rank.
• Spin your keywords / anchor text – don’t just spin your article content; spin the URLs and anchor texts too
• Control amount of posts – if your site is new, publish to about 100+ blogs only so the increase of back links look natural
• Link to many pages / sites – in one article you can have up to 3 hyperlinks, but don’t make all hyperlinks lead to the same site

1WayLinks is a great tool for niche bloggers who manage more than a handful of blogs or websites. It facilitates the process of getting links from other blogs, and also adds some relatively good content to your blog.

I’ve tried using PLR articles to create automated blogs in the past, but there was always one big headache I could not solve.

PLR articles tend to come in pure text (.txt) files and to copy each into my blog is tedious. Sometimes the files are in ZIP format, which means even more work as you’ll have to unzip them, organize the articles and then upload each one to your blog. Seems like a lot of work for content that isn’t 100% unique anyways! The only option was to pay someone to do it for me.

The was a problem begging for solutions, and it didn’t take long (well actually it did) for a decent solution to appear.

Blog Warrior Elite is an online platform that turns your PLR articles into blog content easily, and automates the entire process so you just need to upload everything once and your blog content is taken care of for the next few months. Even if you’re not into PLR but have a network of blogs, you can use Blog Warrior Elite to schedule your blog content, so that you can publish posts even when you are too far away from your computer.

Here’s how it works:

• Scans article folders and uploads all content you select
• Drip-feeds articles to any or all of your WordPress blogs under the proper category or subcategory
• Lets you have the articles appear in a different order on each WordPress site
• Allows cross-linking articles on one site to different articles on another.
• Posts your articles all at once, in batches, or schedule automatic posting of batches
• Access to your articles from any computer with an Internet connection.
• Full reporting built right in, so you can see what’s been posted and what is scheduled
• Uses CopyScape to check for duplicate content so you can make sure your articles are as original as possible

Blog Warrior Elite is 100% web based which means no cumbersome software to install, and it’s also great news for the much abandoned Mac users

If writing is a struggle for you, work with a ghost writer or freelancer who can convey the message you need to in your blog. Give the writer several topics of interest to blog readers and ask for 300-600 word articles. Once you have approved those articles, you may set them up for distribution to your blog.

However, even with this software you’ll need to do your own SEO work to make sure you can get decent organic web traffic to your blogs. Creating an army of blogs is useless unless you’re getting some traffic.

What do you think?

Article Marketing Automation is a tool created by Daniel Turner and Marc Lindsay. Based on the age old concept of article marketing but with a new twist, Article Marketing Automation is set to become one of the most important tools you can have as a profit blogger.

In case you didn’t know, article marketing is the act of writing an article (usually between 200 – 800 words) and allowing other people to publish it on their sites. The purpose of article marketing is to build your recognition and brand name, as well as to get many links back to your site.

When it comes to Search Engine Optimization and blog traffic, Google often takes into account the amount of one-way links pointing back to your site to determine how popular your site is and how highly it should be ranked. Of course no one knows the exact formula, but links definitely play an important role.

Article Marketing Automation promises to automate the process. Here’s what you can do with the system:

• Get Instant Blog Content – By submitting your blog, you can start to get content. Depending on the amount of effort put in by the other member who wrote the article, it can be up to 30% unique to your blog which is a really good thing.
• Get One-Way Links – By upgrading your account you also get to submit articles. In your article you can links to not only the blogs you’ve listed in the system, but to your other blogs, sites, YouTube videos, social bookmarking accounts, and more.
• Avoid Duplicate Content – You can use the site’s article spinning features to change whatever you wish in your article – the heading, words, paragraphs, the source box, links, and anchor text.

Article Marketing Automation is easy way to get free content to your site and grow it naturally. You have access to an ever growing exponentially expanding network of sites to post your content. They’re aiming for 60,000 sites in the network.

The site includes advanced training, with videos and a PDF Guide, with more advanced training planned.

Truly Unique Articles Using Article Rewrites

I’m pretty jealous of this idea because I had a similar one for a long time, but not enough resources to do it. Basically, the AMA system allows you to create one article, and re-write this article many, many time to create as many unique articles as possible:

This is great for both the article owner and the blog publisher, as more unique articles means there are more chances of Google recognizing it as a unique, and therefore more valid backlinks to your site. If you’re just publishing the articles, you can preview the articles first, and then choose to approve or reject them. All this is done with a clean AJAX interface that is easy to use.

Two Sign-Up Levels – Free / Paid

Article Marketing Automation allows you to sign-up both as a free or paid user. As a free user, you can add one of your blogs to the network and get free content which is submitted by other members within the system. As a paid user you’re upgraded to "Article Submission Level" which of course means that you can also submit your own articles.

To sign-up for free, just create your account using the sign-up form but don’t make a payment. You’ll still get your membership login details and you can readily add your blog to the network.

Without doubt, this is one of the best blogging and SEO tools I’ve ever come across and I couldn’t do it any better myself. I highly recommend you try it out for yourself.
