How To Autoblog
You might have heard about autoblogging which is having your blog update itself automatically. Now Autoblogging sounds like a fantastic idea, but does it work? Autoblogging is accomplished through having RSS feeds on your blog. You can find Wordpress plugins that will do this.
I confess that I havent tried the plugin yet, and that is because a RSS feed isnt really autoblogging, but yes it is the closest you can come to it.
Nothing beats fresh original content, and a RSS feed is just updates from other sites.
That doesnt mean it doesnt work though. I believe that having rss feeds on your blog, or website can be effective, because the duplicate content that it produces is still indexed by the search engines and does show up in search engine results.
I wouldnt get all excited and say good bye to blogging though because the search engines, and readers still prefer truly original work with the human touch.
Try using RSS feeds in conjunction with blogging; One way to do this is to put RSS feeds from your blog on your static websites that way you can blog once and have your message broadcasted from many websites. Or put a rss feed from your twitter account on your blog so everytime you tweet it shows up on your blog or your other sites.
I would say the biggest mistake you could make with RSS feeds would be to use RSS feeds from news sites that everybody else is using because then you are not standing out in the crowd.
In conclusion autoblogging by using RSS feeds can help you out if your creative about it, but dont depend on it as your only source of content.
