Auto-posting articles and video to your blog can help you automate your online business, and your profits as well. However, in many cases, with automation, there are sacrifices that one must make, and those sacrifices present themselves when you are using auto-generated content for your blog. This is what I’m going to talk about in this post — the pitfalls of auto-posted content.
To dig right into it, the one thing that you lose when you utilize automatically-added content to your blog is the ability to optimize those posts for search engines. Even if you use autopost software like PLR to Wordpress, where you manually structure articles for your blog before they are added in the background, you still do not have the option of creating a unique meta title, or a keyword-focused page slug that differs from the post title. For any SEO-savvy blog owner, they know that these elements should be tweaked, and unique, to maximize their natural-search traffic potential.
Auto-posted content absolutely gives you an advantage over many others simply because many people won’t pay for the best plugins to enable this type of in-the-background marketing. I’ve yet to see where a free auto-post plugin really gives you the options that the paid tools do today. And, even though these plugins and software can help you to add content to your blog, even when you’re on vacation, or doing other things — based on what I see available today, there is no way to maximize the potential of auto-posted content without having to actually edit it before it’s placed on your blog.
For somebody like me, who understands the importance of optimizing their blogs effectively, auto-posted content isn’t the miracle that many portray it to be. Don’t get me wrong — I use autopost plugins for almost all of my Wordpress blogs, but on the majority, I still have to edit the posts before I’m willing to make them ‘live’ on the site.
