Well, the previous post on Autoblogging, as expected, have generated “mixed” reactions from my blogging friends, visitors and guests. But it was cool - since we get to know the thoughts of different bloggers when it comes to the ethical issue on autoblogging, or automatically posting contents to blogs using other people’s articles.

Actually, there are autoblogging communities where members submit their articles for syndication in other blogs - using autoblogging tools. Its a good strategy to actually get lots of backlinks, and probably traffic as well. If you haven’t tried SyndicateKahuna, this one won’t cost you a cent and a ’sense’ of guilt, since the articles that get autoposted in your blog were intended for such purpose.

The only problem with SyndicateKahuna is the quality of some articles. Some were as poorly written as mine (LOL). But you can always delete them, or perhaps, edit them for grammar and spelling errors.

Now let’s talk about other uses of Autoblogging tools. Other autoblogging plugins for Wordpress can also grab contents using datafeeds, mostly in .CSV, or XML format. This is helpful if you are an Affiliate of known Affiliate Programs like Commission Junction, LInkshare, e-Bay, ShareaSale, Clickbank, etc. These types of autoblogging plugins are great for building your Affiliate Website or eCommerce Stores populated with products linked directly to your affiliate account.

This is probably the best way to populate your blog store with Contents, rather than posting them one by one manually. If you do some SEO work, there could be a huge potential to earn big - since we all know the revenue potential of affiliate marketing or selling.

Might not be a conventional way to blog, but Autoblogging is certainly the most convenient way to get contents from different sources and automatically post those articles into your blog. Talk about easy and lazy blogging. You can virtually grab any content - text articles, music, videos, youtube videos from any RSS/Atom source and auto post it into your blog. It’s possible to create a dozen or even a hundred of new posts per day with autoblogging.

Autoblogging is simply getting contents from someone else’s articles - taking advantage of individual RSS/Atom Feeds or aggregate feeds called OPML. The setup is simple - you install a plugin, select your desired content Categories, or type the RSS/Atom URL Feeds you want to fetch contents. It can even autodiscover a site’s RSS feeds if its template has appropriate meta tags for RSS feeds autodiscovery.

I am featuring only the following as I have experimented on them - no, not on this blog.

Two weeks ago while watching the funny movie Madagascar 2 movie, I was so thrilled and ecstatic when a familiar structure was flashed on the big screen - the Vatican steeple, and the “black smoke” that came out of the window. I shouted “This is it!“, the movie that I have been waiting for - the big screen adaptation and the “prequel” to the Da Vinci Code all written by Dan Brown - Angels and Demons.

To those who have read Dan Brown’s bestseller, Angels and Demons, a movie version is certainly something to look forward to. After all, Angels and Demons has all the makings of a great movie. The plot, the action, and tour to the Vatican City makes you think you’re watching a movie by just the reading it.

I rarely read novels - got to admit I’d rather spend my free time earning passive income than reading novels. But Dan Brown’s only one of the few authors that will make me forget everything and just read his story. I also made sure to read Angels and Demons before reading Da Vinci Code. His other books, Digital Fortress and Deception Point which were not as popular were also my favorites. It took me only 2 days to read each of these novels from cover to cover.
