Yesterday I was reading a blog post on the official Google blog regarding how they intend to combat the increase in Search Engine Spam since their Caffeine Algo Change (which I wrote a bit about elsewhere on this blog).

When reading it, the first thing that came to mind was those individuals who spend a lot of their time and money to from creating pure auto blogs.

The article from their blog (they meaning “big G”) regarding this change in the algorithm can be found in it’s entirety here: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/google-search-and-search-engine-spam.html

It’s relatively short, but it pretty much says what you think it’ll say relative to duplicate content, low quality content, spammy content that give low visitor value and the need to reduce the number of these sorts of sites from their search results.

Just after reading this post I stumbled upon a pretty decent write up about this on Mashable (a news blog about various social media and web happenings). You can read their blog post from yesterday here: http://mashable.com/2011/01/21/google-combat-search-spam/

The bottomline is this: Google will be putting even more effort in getting rid of sites that they consider SPAM. In Google’s words:

“…affects sites that copy others’ content and sites with low levels of original content.”

So, if you and your auto blogs got affected by the May-day algo change last May, then you may want to buckle up because I think you’re in for another ride.

So, is this the end of auto blogs?

No…

And while I don’t create traditional autoblogs personally, I will be watching the few that I do still own to see what happens. It will be interesting to see if some of the little things I mention in regards to the addition of unique content I talk about in StealthBlogger.com (and more so in the now sold out Stealth Blogger Black Book) will help against getting your site flagged as spam and shut down.

I guess time will tell.

Until next time…

Is This The End of Auto Blogs?

No related posts.

Can you believe it, I think I finally made it. :)

I recently released a series of videos about setting up profit pulling websites for fun and profit at SuperSimpleBlogging.com. It’s a work in progress but contains very detailed information about how anyone can setup profitable websites.

And specifically because of the content in these videos I’ve started to get hate mail.

So far I’ve gotten a couple of emails from people telling me to stop putting this kind of information up… for free. And curiously both were from relatively well-known marketers that frequents a rather
large IM forum…

Why?

Because, as one of them put it:

“It’s not right, people make a living off of selling this kind of  information”.

I guess I must be doing something right. :)

So in protest, I’m going to ask my readers for a favor…

1. Check out the videos I’ve put up so far;
2. If you like what you see simply help me get the word out about it!
3. Tweet it, share it on Facebook, in your favorite marketing forum or
what not.

And if you don’t think the information is good enough to share with others, please shoot me a comment below and let me know what I can do to actually make the content better!

Thanks,

/S
