A Deeper Understanding Of Auto-Blogs(Part 2)
In the previous article “A Deeper Understanding Of Auto-Blogs(Part 1)“, we have described ways to choose domain name & server provider, installation of related plugins for Auto-blogs, two methods for content collection in depth. This article will continue to provide an in-depth introduction to how to drive traffic. How to add advertisements on the website will be discussed in the third article of this series.
Social Media Automation
The first method we consider for driving traffic is social media, why? Because of the large amount of traffic, and it is relatively easy to obtain. Among the plugins installed earlier, this is implemented by NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster.
Click “Add new account” on the Accounts page, you can see that a lot of social media types are supported. The free version only supports one account per social media type. If you purchase the paid version, you can support multiple accounts for each social media type. That is, every time your website posts a new Post, it will synchronize content to multiple accounts of multiple social media types.
The setting method of each social media type is different. Here we will use Tumblr as an example to describe the setting process. For other types, refer to the help of SNAP.
After registering account with Tumblr, go to https://www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps and click “Register application”.
Submit the Application Name, Website, and other information in the Register page.
Then we can get the OAuth Consumer Key and Secret Key for the new application.
Then we can add new account in the SNAP, select Tumblr, fill in the OAuth Consumer Key and Secret Key of the new application obtained above, Post Type select Image Post, Clickthrough URL select Shortened Post URL, Post Format can be written as needed, for example, %URL% is the URL corresponding to the new post of your website. Finally, don’t forget to select “Post with tags“.
Select “Publish Immediately” in the Settings page, select the short link method in the URL Shortener page and enter the user name and API Key, then your links will be shortened when synchronizing to social media.
Ok, here we have finished the method of automatic posting and synchronization to social media accounts, this method is very convenient, but not very good for SEO, because the content is not original whether it is obtained from RSS or predefined text, Google will not rank these content high. We must use some spin tools to rank high, there will be a special introduction about this topic.
The third article of this series will cover ad networks and how to advertise to make money.
