Blog Organizer vs. Wordpress Internal

[Janus]

Just curious why some use a blog organizer opposed to using the built in function in wordpress where you can schedule the post for a later time. Any pros and cons?

[docputer]

Blog Organizer does so much more than just schedules posts. Lets say you have a rss feed you want to add to all your blogs, one or two clicks does it, whether you have 2 blogs, or 2000

Ah I see, just did a little more search on here also. I think the question I have is, do you think I need BO if the only thing I want to do is focus on 1 blog and schedule posts to publish everyday...I mean would BO just be overkill for that to start with?

[docputer]

Probably, but take a look at the things it or Blog Automator can do for you. Kaktusan is here on the board, you can hit him up with questions

This is true, BA is a better option if you want to feed already existing blogs from one admin panel, no matter are they on WordPress engine or using something else, such as Blogger, thumblogger. etc. You may quickly build your own database of blog posts, either your own or from sponsor RSS feeds to sort them into categories. You then schedule posts to go the way you want, with set up interval (including random posting within a preset time interval), set it up to rewrite certain words, make them linked, and much more.

BO can do this as well, but BA has far more content/feed manipulation options. BO is mainly to build blogs on it's own very lightweight engine, but you'll have to either buy or create your own templates, because default ones are kind of sucky.

Janus, me and my clients mainly use BO/BA and rest of my products because they are multidomain solutions.

Blogs Organizer for example lets you create as much blogs as you want virtually anywhere, without the need to install and setup script for each of them. With WP you need to install it for each blog, while with BO you just fill a form with your blog details, upload some files to the blog location and thats it. 1 minute of work.

Mainly thats its greatest feature. Ofcourse along with that come lots of automation and scheduling feature to help you maintain these easily built blogs.

About your question.. If you have just 1 blog and look for software to schedule posts, no probably you don't need my scripts. They are about numbers, for just 1 blog you will not feel any advantage of using BO or BA. If you plan to extend your business in the future like making more blogs then it would be good investition at this time..

Us Bo for making a lot of blogs, in less time. For me it is great

Janus,

One of the things I do is use Free Sponsor Hosting to add to the variety of domain names I have in my linking structure. I only use Sponsors that provide MySQL, php support, ftp and I install WordPress. Because of security restrictions you can not use a WordPress Plugin to feed you blog. BA does the daily postings.

Kaktusan,

I have 9 sponsors that meet my requirements. I have found the sponsors to be very reasonable about the blogs I host. They do request you primarily promote them, but do not object to other sponsors ads, as long as it is not a direct competitor. Example is webcam and dating sponsors if they do not have these features. But they do ask that not over 30% be other sponsors ads. Very Reasonable.

I will post a list if anyone wants it. Along with observations I have made. Not all the hosting is equal. Good example is Get Right Cash. They would be fantastic if the blogs would load in a reasonable amount of time. The blogs I host there are sooooo slow to load. I do not cross link them because of the slow load times. But a couple of them are pretty good.

Panda, well those could be in handy when it comes for making some blogs for backlinks to your main blogs. I am just testing myself the strategy to make blogs on free hosts and use them for backlinks to my main blogs so after some months will see if that works and if so will need every possible place to put some blogs

[Pandaman]

To post to these you will need BA...
Actual Cash
This was the first sponsor I finished building a blog for each paysite on. For some reason right now the hosting is not coming up. My blogs are still up and working/making money. The hosting is at Actual Host I hope they are still taking hosting.

Brothers in Cash
Adult Master Cash
I have built a blog for each of the paysites for Actual Cash, Brothers in Cash, and Adult Master Cash.

Blockbooster Cash
Brothers in Cash and Blockbooster Cash have two different hosting plans.

SPA Cash
Long Bucks
Rise Cash
Cash Maniacs
I have registered subdomains on SPA Cash, Long Bucks, Rise Cash, Cash Maniacs but have not built the blogs out yet.

Get Right Cash
I would suggest you build one blog on Get Right Cash. Last time I checked it loaded slow, too slow. I keep hoping that the load time will get better.

Hope this helps.
