Blog and ping still works
The old blog and ping method of getting a webpage crawled worked wonders. For a while. Everyone and his brother-in-law hammered it until it wasn’t very effective any longer.
The search engines (especially Giggle) stopped treating the blog posts with much love because there were so many blogs full of nothing but markoved spammy text and a bazillion links on each post.
Like our favorite of the past, the MFA site, blog and ping fell out of our toolkit. The biggest reason it got left in the dusty box of yore was because it was difficult to gather up enough good content to post.
So, now that you have a heap of great content, you’re ready to make use of this nifty tool again. Only this time you will do it right and use the blogs to get your page to rank higher in the serps.
When you set up your automated content poster, you’ll want to
What do you mean ‘wait’.
I mean that I don’t have any automated content. Much less a poster.
Aha. Well then, you need both.
What I’m about to tell you about works with WordPress. Both the stand-alone version like this one, and the WPmu install.
I know a guy who perfected a system that gathers and publishes content for WordPress. It is a plugin, so it’s extremely fast and easy to deploy.
What sort of content? Is it the usual garbage? Scrambled, jumbled, markoved, twice translated, junk that I see everywhere?
lol. Nope. As a matter of fact the generated content is as legit as it can be. I mean that it will pass any LSI filter anywhere, anytime. It reads correctly. It has grammar that is right. It is made to be dead on to your keywords. Relevant, on-topic content.
Okay. How much time am I going to spend setting up cron? How much copying and pasting of my articles do I have to do?
None and none. Like I said it is a wp plugin. You install the plugin, visit it from the wordpress dashboard, set a few options, and you’re set. The application will gather the content for you. It will post it to your blog on the schedule that you set.
If you want/need great content for your blog, instant, targeted, automatic, never ending, content; click on the link. You won’t be sorry. I promise.
Hey, that looks like an affiliate link to me. Is it?
Hell yes. You’ve read my other endorsements so you know that I stand by my recommendations. This really is good content.
I’m not about to promote a bunch of clickbank hooie to you guys. This is the real deal.
I started off to tell you how to use blog and ping to get a boost in your rankings but someone used up my allotted time. I’ll have to tell you how to make it work in my next post.
Until then, keep yer powder dry.

I have been using this plug for a while, its very good, and I would recommend it… but a “content generator” it certainly ain’t… it scrapes free content and builds relevant cats etc.
Dunno why your babbling on about “LSI filter’s” when the real issue with this plug is the dupe filter.
I have recommended this plug to several friends, built 50+ sites with it… and am in the process of doing 10 more on caught domains…. they are indexing and holding.
If you have your WP set up right you can build sites in 5 minutes or so…. all very nice.
This is a good product, and its worth the money.
I don’t have an issue with aff links / buying stuff via blogs.
I do think its a shame you thought the best way to shift this product was with aff babble / miss info / partial facts as opposed to an objective review / set up tips and possible uses.

Thanks jez.
Scraped, revelant, human readable, content that gets auto posted. That qualifies as ‘generated’ in my book.
Ya. The LSI filters are still in their infancy. The non-automated LSI filters are the ones that I worry about. I’m going out on a limb and say that 100% of my sites that have been banned were from the human filter, known as the hand-job. This plugin produces content that passes that test.
The dupe filter only comes into play between pages within a site. If you don’t dupe your content on different pages within your site, you’re safe. If you look at the serps for some queries, like ‘php function’, you’ll see entire pages of results that are identical.
Sorry you don’t like this marketing attempt. I have a whole site devoted to reviews. Some work, most do not. I thought to try a different path with this. The jury is out.
I still stand by what I said. This application will generate good content for wordpress. It does so quickly and reliably. In your words, “…in 5 minutes…all very nice”. I agree with that too.
This venue was not my first choice for marketing the product. I may yet consider the other method.
Something to rememaber, Jez, you are far advanced from the majority of my readership. Your experience in matters such as this are important. Some of the less experienced readers need coaxing at times.
As always, I appreciate your views.

Hi Dink,
Came back with some trepadation… nice see we are still on speaking terms
Well for me, when someone mentions generation I think unique genned stuff, Markov for example. Throwing comments like “It has grammar that is right” into the mix adds to that suggestion…. IMO… but I suppose there is no strict definition of what constitutes a content generator.
Dupe filter is absolutely an issue with this plug, if dupe were not an issue in this context then we would not use Markov would we? In fact, CC has a Markov / re-writer templates within it.
But, that does not mean people should be afraid to use it (dupe)… it will index and it will get a small amount of traffic.
There is a misconception around the fact that Google (usually) only returns a single page of duplicated content per query. Whilst G does endeavor to return a single copy per query… it is not always the same copy, and certainly not the same copy across different long-tail queries. So there is still a small amount of traffic to be had from dupe… or a larger amount of traffic from a lot of dupe!
Regards setup of these things… I modify wp-config to use the URL as the db prefix and point all domains to the same WP instance. This instance has a load of templates I have cleaned up, and of course all the plugs I may want to use… including CC. Personally I find that a lot easier to work with than MU.
Did not mean to be a whinge…

“whinge” lol
Never a need to worry or have trepadation on this snarky blog. The reason that I have comments turned on at all is to allow different views, opinions, ideas, to be presented.
I have a difficult time believing the dupe content guff. For one thing, if it were so, the major news sites would be in trouble. They all reproduce the same content in the same manner.
As far as the ‘genned’ content this tool produces, I worry not at all. It’s fairly common for a series of forum posts to go supplemental without a fresh, and continuing, source of backlinks pointing to the posts. Once the posts go into the supplemental index there isn’t a chance of any duplicate content *whatever* (filter, penalty, etc) occurring.
Glad you checked back here. Keep on keeping on mate.

Most of the dupe stuff is FUD.
I built 30+ of these sites on spare domains I had… brand new, no links. Between them they are up to 250 uniques per day, that is rising as the sites are still being indexed.
If I were to put some spam juice into them that would go up considerably… but TBH they are not worth it.
I am also using this on caught domains which I will be using for link X / EPN, I recon they will work nicely.
Again, I just stick with the articles as I recon its quite easy to outrank the original article sites due to their poor pr / pages.
This plug is one of the most useful things I have bought this year.
Have you used it much yourself?

Yep. Perhaps all of it is FUD.
>> If I were to put some spam juice into them that would go up considerably… but TBH they are not worth it.
You could always use them as backlink staging areas for *other* endeavors. ::grins::
Sounds like you have a good setup going for you.
>>Have you used it much yourself?
Not nearly as much as I should be. I keep getting caught up in other schemes and don’t seem to get back to real business as soon as I should. I do have a plan to use this plug for a wpMu site. I’ve registered a pretty nifty domain name and have a vps all lined up for it. Heh. If it works half as well as I think it will…… $$$

Yeah Im just using sites for links, but Im also going to monetise them with EPN.
URLs are obscuficated on site and I have denied Gevil Bot and co from accessing the jump page… I am assuming that will stop em following my EPN links / getting my aff id… any thoughts on that?
IMO Mu sucks, which is why I derive the WP_ table prefix from the URL. Someone told me the other day that WP plan to merge WP and Mu into one app… so no more headaches with plugs… and Mu will no longer suck

Ya, that oughta work to keep the bots off of your links. But watch out for the human hunters following the links to the money.
I would like to see the combination of WP and Mu. Would make some things much easier.
