I am helping to manage the affiliate program at RSStoBlog - this is an excellent product with great support.


If you have a website that caters to the affiliate marketing crowd or webmasters looking to increase their ppc or adsense revenue, RSStoBlog http://rsstoblog.net offers an affiliate program that pays out a hefty $98.80 (40%) for each sale!


What is RSStoBlog and what does it do?


RSStoBlog allows you to set up automated themed blogs that draw information from a variety of sources. Google, news, rss feeds, and any type of user input you would like to use.

1) You select the theme of the blog

2) You select the posting source

3) You decide how to best monetize the blog

4) You go do something else with all your free time while rsstoblog posts automatically to your new blog as often as you tell it to.


It's easy..it's powerful...and it's blogging on auto pilot. If you understand the power a good blog has with the search engines, you can see that automated blogging is the key to good targeted traffic and quick inclusion in the engines. If you currently use ANY page generation techniques, RSStoBlog will help you get your new pages indexed faster than you can say commissions!

PLUS, and here is the real power to me... you can make a few basic changes to small to moderate size merchant feeds, drop them into RSStoBlog, and watch your blog (website) grow automatically every day between now and next christmas...on autopilot.

I can tell you from personal experience that this is the easiest way I have found to use affiliate merchant feeds to produce a dynamic site that updates itself with fresh content everyday. And because you can mix other datasources into the automated posts, you never have to worry about duplicate content!

Nice one! When I clicked on your link my anti-virus software popped up:-

http://www.microdot.net/grafix/anti.jpg

Which is:-

Troj/Psyme-R is a HTML based script which exploits the ADODB stream vulnerability associated with Microsoft Internet Explorer to download and run executables.
Troj/Psyme-R attempts to download an executable from a remote location to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IESEARCH.EXE, replacing any existing copies of this file, and then tries to execute IESEARCH.EXE.
Variants of this Trojan are known to download Troj/Small-HI.
The Troj/Psyme-R HTML page may arrive on the computer via web pages that exploit the MSITS vulnerability associated with Microsoft Internet Explorer. Such web pages will contain links pointing to a remote CHM file (compiled HTML help file format) which contains the Troj/Psyme-R HTML.

You better check your pc...this is just a simple link that many before you used already..


Good luck.

Larry, I got the same alert message on my machine while loading the site. I know that this is an authorized ad and I apologize for removing the 2 links. I am only doing this as a precaution for others while you scan your web server. I am also doing a deep scan of my computer to ensure nothing happened. I'll let you know what I discover after the full scan.

[DesignerWiz]

It appears to be a false reading of a redirect script that causes the virus prompt. My system checked out fine.

[Larry]

Thanks Ray. I cleaned up the link anyway so nobody else will have that issue.

I failed to mention that alothough this affiliate program is open to those who have purchased the script, when you sign up through the link in this thread you WILL be approved regardless of whether you have purchased or not.


You can't buy through your own link but you can join and sell without buying. Apologies...should have made that clear in the original post!

[egerbliss]

Where is the link for the affiliate program? There is none currently on your page, just an ad for the program RSStoBlog. I am interested in becoming an affiliate - how do I sign up?

[egerbliss]

By the way -- has anyone on this board used this RSStoBlog software? Any feedback? TIA

[infoTim]

Sounds like just another way to try to make a quick buck by cranking out automated crap content.

I have been experimenting with a system such as this for about a little over a year now. I wrote the software to do it, but it's more or less doing the same thing. I personally have never tried the system mentioned in the first post in this thread, but I can say that success with this method is generally different by topic, and even then it's sort of hit or miss. Another part of the "automated blog" puzzle is how well you can "farm" your source information. It's really turned out to be quite an art, with a myriad of techniques that work well for some topics and not so well for others. Another big problem is the latency between receiving your source information and posting (and then [hopefully] syndicating it, or having it syndicated) -- you aren't adding any "value" to the content you're scraping, so the inherent value in your blog is going to be low (you consolidate niche information quickly), or zero (somebody else does it better, or your farming software sucks). You have to find some way to model or mold the information into something that is better than just it's original form. To really make a dent and break through that "$100 / month" barrier with adsense with a topical multi-source syndication without "value added" you will need to blanket the earth with these "auto-blogs" and hope for statistics to run it's course. And hope google doesn't black list you, penalize you, or otherwise; use different IP blocks, keep a good, and growing, stock of domains you can use, make sure you can swap out AdSense codes without having re-code your pages by hand, keep your linking strategies dynamic and easily changable, etc.

Now, I'm not necessarily a member of the 100%, without-a-question "Content is King" crowd, but I will say that if you want to break through that initial "$100 / month" barrier and have a long-term income source, you'll need to find some way to add "something". But, it doesn't always have to be "value", necessarily. . .

[infoTim]

There's definitely ways to aggregate information and still add value, but all of these content factory things I've seen just make it easier to regurgitate somebody else's "value".

There's definitely ways to aggregate information and still add value, but all of these content factory things I've seen just make it easier to regurgitate somebody else's "value".

The nasty part is this process of vomit re-distribution debases the original content (and likely it's source) as well.

Besides, somebody with a proven formula for "adding value" to farmed content consistently and automatically isn't likely to package and market it. I don't mean to be a jerk, but the only people that usually get rich in the get-rich-quick schemes are the ones selling the get-rich-quick scheme.

[trivum]

I would agree with some of this, but not all of it. In some ways, consolidating information for a niche is adding value. It's essentially what Google or Yahoo or anyone else does with a search engine, and it's even closer to what the *Holy* Dmoz does - only it's better in some ways because it's dynamic. Or, you could think of it as a dynamic dmoz. I don't know if people are actually doing this anymore, but I knew people who paid the likes of ESPN $20 a year, or whatever it was, to essentially scour the web and send them info on their favorite team from different sources. Syndication has been around a long time, and can be of great value, especially as the info on the internet grows. Will there be abuse of these tools? OF COURSE. Will Google try to eliminate them? Probably. But Google often considers black-hat what it essentially does itself. Google is a little like the government - it's considered illegal unless they can make money off of it and you too. When you have the power, you get to make the rules, be they fair or not.

All that said, I agree with johnm that you should be trying to add something. But an ability to organize certain info and present it to your visitors can be considered value. Google might say that you need to throw your own idiotic editorializing into the mix, but that's a mistake. Should project managers, for example, be considered leeches because their job is to organize? I think many (including the likes of Google, from what I've seen) don't really have a legitimate grasp on the theory of content. Content is more than just words. Are 300 not-very-well-thought-out words about what you think really more valuable than one picture you traveled half-way around the world to get? I wonder if you put the pic on a page with Adsense if you would get into trouble. Don't know. But Google has spoken out before against affiliate sites, for example, that it deems not to be adding "value." It seems that organizing and presenting products of a certain kind doesn't add value in Google's mind. But, again, that's all Google does itself - organize and present other people's content. So Google is full of hypocracy - there's nothing new there. When they ban themselves, I'll take them seriously. For now I just have to live with the little dictator's whims.

I know it's been a few months, but I don't see an affiliate link either. Is this deal still on?
