Anyhow, with the Joomla system, we can pull hundreds of REAL articles and mix and get content to be published over time within a period of 10 or 15 minutes. Right now we’re building based on an S-Curve growth pattern – but we’ll be testing different growth patterns although all of that is really just a guess. The main thing of course is to put out REAL, QUALITY content.

But now that you mention it – it might work to push out sites in Happar and then put StoreStacker on top – although I’d wait until you had a decent number of pages on the base site first – probably 60 to 100 pages – before putting on StoreStacker.

I tried HalfGains ContentClub – but it wasn’t nearly as automated as we needed it to be. Their spinner did a few smart things that I’ve not seen others do – like allow you say whether you want to keep the same synonym through a sequence of text or if you want it randomized – also it had someway to set antecedents I believe…that ones a bit vague for me right now.

I’ve not tested BlogEvolution because last time I visited the forum for it it was pretty dead and a dead forum typically isn’t a great indicator. That may have changed, though.

For that system we use the following tools:

1) Mass Account Manager to quickly create hundreds of domains for our sites.

2) WordPressAutInstaller. There are other cheaper ones, but they didn’t handle subdomains well and didn’t handle pre-sales questions well at all. Basically the purpose of this tool is to create a “master” plug with all of the plugins you’re using.

3) WordPress Cloner. We use this to copy the master blog to multiple destination blogs on the domains we set up with Mass Account Manager. This step takes about 5 to 10 minutes to put up as many as a hundred blogs…maybe more – I don’t do this part, but my main business partner there told me he could do at least 100 in about 10 minutes.

Steps 1 through 3 can be done in around 30 mins.

Once we have our sites set up – right now Joomla and WordPress, we have a mixture of off-the-shelf systems and proprietary systems to allow the sites to grow organically and naturally over time with real, high-quality content. RSS2Blog and similar systems we had developed ourselves.

Nothing new to you I’m sure – we had a script programmed to pull YouTube videos into Joomla via their API based on keywords because surprisingly none of the existing extensions really automated that task well enough, and we developed quite a few ways to aggregate content in a meaningful way.

I’ve kind of lost track of the number of components that went into our system so far, and we continue to find ways to automate it even more. I actually like the way FirePow does their article pulls better, but each system has it’s own advantages. And of course, we don’t sell ours.

There are quite a few excellent books at OReilly Media on this type of thing.

And of course we have a lot of scripts we tried that weren’t right for what we were doing – not necessarily bad – just not a great fit.

The interesting thing is we spent the past year on this and during that time quite a few other similar systems have come out.

The problem prior to that is most of them produced complete completely useless garbage for the end-user. Of course that’s no secret, but just thought I’d mention it for some of the people newer to marketing online. The name of the game now is to emulate what real human beings would do to build a website.

Even though this WorkAtHomeTruth site is an authority site in Google and gets great rankings, it’s still mainly a hobby site for us.
