BO / GS workflow for quality splog posts

[thebes]

I have a few blogs already, all high quality with original content. They bring decent traffic and have been nice for networking too, since they are "real" blogs.

Now, I will be building a network of "quality splogs", that is handwritten text on highly automated blogs. These will feed a micro-niche paysite I am building, and filter traffic off to other sponsors as well. It is important that these all have decent quality posts which are largely unique. There will be around 40 of these, so a rapid workflow is essential.

They are all related micro niches, and there is a lot of overlap for what each blog will have. There are not many FHGs for each of these niches and obviously some galleries will have to be used on multiple blogs. In some cases only a few FHGs from each sponsor will be useful on a given blog.

I was planning to use BO to run the network, and GS to scrape galleries and build feeds. I want to automate as much as I can while still writing the post text by hand.

The problem here is, as I understand it, GS will only use a given FHG once. I don't want to use BO to do a simple morph of the feed text, and I don't want duplicate content. Does anyone have a quick and simple work-around for this?

What is your workflow? Is there some way I should/could be using BA as well?

I am looking for an elegant solution. I've already thought of making forwarders for the FHGs so I can reuse them, but that seems cumbersome.

Any other products I should consider instead? Each blog is on its own domain, I am set on using my own domains, maintenance must be simple.

Thanks in advance.

Nobody?

How about this. Has anyone used WP with uusoftware's gallery building plugin (it scrapes fhg's appearantly) to build a blog just to feed rss to BO blogs? That looks like it might be a more viable setup for what I want to do, and then I get to do video and choose thumbs.

This was about the only part I understood and it's something I'm working on now with GS and BA:

Some of your questions are way too complicated or advanced for my newb mind but I'm currently using GS and BA and have been really happy with some of the flexibility for feeding my WordPress blogs. I've sort of put off my actual postings to my blogs so that I can get some of the posts that are imported to BA fro GS ready for posting.

GS WILL reuse posts in the rss feed it outputs but I don't think BA would import the same post again. I think the owner of GS and BA suggested adding a bit of code at the end of the url (something that won't effect the link and your aff codes) so then you could import the same posts twice (or more) I haven't tried that because I have so many FHGs to use that I don't think I'll ever have to use the same one twice.

Another thing I haven't tried yet but I think you could do is use the same feed under a different "category" or "sponsor" and then maybe it would let you use it more than once? You should definetly ask over at the support forum unless he happens to see this and can answer some of your questions here.

Trying to help but pretty limited in what your asking about specifically.

Ok the way i work with automated handwritten splogs is this first i build a RSS feed with 20 postings in them i use about 100 words per posting because that is all that i can handle lol

Then i will take that RSS feed let BO insert 7 postings (assuming that it is new splog) and then i tell BO to post every 3000 minutes when the postings are all done i ad new galleries to the RSS feed in GS i submit the splog to the directories and ping it and move on to the next one.





I hope that is clear enough if not just ask

Dutch Harry these new galleries you add to the feed AFTER the first 100 do they have text also? How many do you add to the feed after your first 100 have posted and how often do you set them to post?

@BAC

I think your confusiong 100 postings with 100 words

But i am here so i could awsner your question anyway, al my postings have text, the way i feed blogs/splogs asumming that they are new is i start out between the 7 and 10 posings and after those postings i let BO post once every 3000 minutes.

That is it

Let me get started with GS... GS will not use same gallery within a feed. If you build another feed and define it to use same galleries, it will use them. So if you have lets say 100 galleries, you build a feed and it will use them. If you build another feed it will again use them. So all you have to do is make several feeds as you need and put them in BO/BA

about duplicate content there are couple things that could help you. First in GS. You can use the custom gallery fields to write their several descriptions for your gallery. So you can build a feed and use the main description. You can build 2nd feed and use it with the description from custom field 1. same for custom field 2...
Also in BA/BO you can add some rewriting, or custom headers/footers.

if there's anything more to clear out or to try to help you, just let me know..
