My Autoblog Business Review

Brett Ingram of "myautoblogbusiness.com" goes as far as saying you will pocket $300 per month by doing absolutely nothing. The concept here is that you own and operate one or more "autoblogs," or blogs that run themselves without you writing any content or doing anything at all.

For those new to blogging, you must understand that original content is key. Computer programs are not yet advanced enough to write anything that would be interesting to humans. So how can a blog be "automated?"

Take a look at the blogs this thing has generated. If you scroll down the page on myautoblogbusiness.com, there are two examples. Brett doesn't link to his poster children of the autoblog world, but with a little help from Google, I found both sites.

The first one is Virus Scanner Reviews:
virusscannerreviews.com/freecss-aimbotthe-se7enth-ghost-multibot-100-vac-proof-as-of-10222010.html

Supposedly it's about Virus Scanners, but features a vid for a Counter Strike hack.

Does something seem off about this blog? It should. The entire content of this post (and all the others on virusscannerreviews.com) is copied directly from Youtube! See for yourself. Even the comments have been ripped off from the Youtube comments. The alleged comment box for this blog is just for show.

The other blog is Blu Ray Burners:
burnersbluray.net/is-the-asus-g73-a-good-buy.html

Here again, the blog content and comments are copied directly from a question on Yahoo! Answers.

These are called scraper sites and are frowned upon in the online advertising industry (your only source of income with this product).

Are these just a couple of bad apples from an otherwise upstanding product? No! These are the blogs that appear in the sales pitch! The prime examples of what this software does.

If you're thinking about trying autoblog despite the fact you would be ripping off advertisers, keep in mind, Youtube and Yahoo! Answers are owned by two major search engines. Do you really think they won't know who the content belongs to?

And if you're still thinking about it, you might want to look at some of the complaints that Brett isn't delivering.

Special thanks to MomentumAutoBlog for spamming your affiliate link so that I could find out about this one.
