Autoblog
Do automated blogs make money?
An autoblog is a blog with content that is automatically gathered and compiled from RSS feeds. Autoblogging software does most of the work. The blog owner may not do much beyond selecting the specific feeds, determining schedules and selecting a few options.
Purpose 
The purpose of an autoblog is to generate search engine ad revenue. Because a single autoblog is not very lucrative, however, autoblog owners typically create multiple blogs on niche topics.
Autoblogging software provides the option to include a link back to the original content. Copying excerpts of original content, with attribution and a link back, is generally considered fair use. However, copying entire articles is illegal unless the content is in the public domain.
What is auto blogging website?
To get around copyright issues and avoid search engine penalization for duplicate content, autoblogging software includes the option to edit content. The software also usually includes a translation tool that can be used to translate foreign content. The feature is more often used, however, to alter content, a practice sometimes referred to as content spinning. The usual method is to translate content from the original language to a different one and then back again. The result will differ from the original content but will typically have odd phrasing and grammar and may not make much sense. Separate content spinning software is also available that has much the same effect.
Autoblogging and other approaches to making money with minimal effort are sometimes referred to as passive income generation.
5 Reasons Why Autoblogging Sucks
Recently, I read an article promoting five of the “best” autoblogging plugins for WordPress. I normally don’t write response type posts, but I just felt that I had to chime in and offer my two cents on this one!
How do I start an auto blog?
For those who don’t know what autoblogging is, it’s basically exactly what it sounds like – having the content on your blog generated automatically. This may sound like an incredible and liberating innovation to the uninitiated. After all, this blogging thing is a tough gig. Who wouldn’t want to free up a few extra hours by minimizing the time you spend preparing your content?
Don’t be deceived, though. Autoblogging sucks. It sucks for the blogger. It sucks for the reader. It most certainly sucks for people whose work is being ripped off. Basically, you should simply avoid it altogether. Here are 5 good reasons why.
It’s Stealing
If you’re wondering how a WordPress plugin can possibly generate content automatically, it’s really pretty simple – it doesn’t. At least, it doesn’t generate unique content. The plugin basically goes out, crawls through a collection of predetermined RSS feeds, grabs the content and posts it your blog. Sometimes it may add a link back to the source, but other times the work goes completely uncited, making it appear as though the content is entirely unique!
No matter how you cut it, this is content theft and completely inappropriate.
