Do autoblogs work for affiliate marketing ?

[simplyjo]

I know autoblogs are excellent sources of traffic.. but do they actually work if you are trying to sell affiliate products thru the blog ? Has anyone tried it with any success?

Jo, when you say "autoblogs" are you referring to blogs that automatically post content by scraping it from other sites?

I've heard that people have made some money with those types of scraper sites. But they have the disadvantage of being penalised by the search engines, because the content is not unique. My own preference is to work with original content only.

That is when, "Content Spinner" comes into picture. Yet, Article Spinners go nuts at times and give weird results making our content not readable! I mean our articles will not make any sense!

I've read some pretty poor articles, produced by such programs. They often contain poor grammar and strange word order that makes reading them uncomfortable and turns a lot of people away from the site.
