Too funny to NOT report here…
John Delavera sends me a promotional email with the following subject line:

Autoblogging Is Finally Dying
So which is it, gentlemen? 
Personally, I’d go with Jason’s headline. Autoblogging is, in my opinion, nothing more than a money-making “fad” that will soon pass (at least the way that most people do it). In my eyes, it does not provide value.
Now there’s nothing wrong with cueing up several blogs posts that will publish over a period of days, weeks, and even months — but where did the content come from? Is it unique? Is it original? Is it relevant? Or is it the same stuff that 1,001 other people are posting to their blogs?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (and I’ll probably have to say it a few zillion more times): Google / Yahoo / Bing / Search Engine Companies are smart. They want happy visitors who get what they want — information — so that they’ll keep coming back. The more they come, the more they click on ads, and the more money the search engines make. And the people keep coming back because they find what they want.
So is an Autoblog going to give the search engines something that is going to make their SERPs “sticky” enough to continue to attract clients? If not, then expect the next Google update (I’m going to code name it “Destroyer”) to remove them from the SERPs. Followed by a bunch of “what just hit me?” forum posts written by stunned marketers who thought they had found the best thing since sliced bread.
Hey, just my opinion, but eventually people are going to run out of “cash pump systems” that make money based on a search engine loophole. Hope you enjoy slinging fries when that happens! And if you don’t enjoy it, then why not work to build a REAL business — like the people over at Earn 1k A Day, The Internet Business Membership SiteThis is an affiliate link.

(HINT: Right now, a few of the more prominent members over at 1KAD are talking about getting out of the Internet Marketing niche and off the “Warrior Special Offer” bandwagon because it is costing them money! Why not take advantage of the 10 day trial offer — just click on the link in the previous paragraph — and find out why? If you’re really unhappy with your trial membership, I’ll issue you a refund — although you’ll probably laugh when you see the price because it’s lower than a large order of fries…).
