This week WP-o-Matic a plugin that allows you to set up an ‘auto blog’.
What is an auto blog?
An auto blog (automatically updating blog - not an automobile blog!)is a blog usually set up to make money on line through affiliate programs. The blog is set up to auto update with content from RSS feeds and has adsense or affilliate ads for monetising
WP-o-Matic pulls feeds from any RSS source (I tested it with Google Blogsearch and Yahoo news) and automatically makes posts. Links back to the original article can (and should!) be inserted. It can be set up to update automatically using the inbuilt WordPress feature or by setting up a cron job on a Unix server.
I’ve trying it out on a site I’m in the process of setting up and it’s working flawlessly. It can also pull images if they are present in the RSS feed. It could also be used with eBay and Amazon feeds but I haven’t tried this out.

This is a great plugin. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for sharing this useful info.
I used this plugin after reading your post,its a great plugin
If I wanted to syndicate my Hub Pages hubs to a widget in my sidebar on my blog, would I be able to do it with this plug in? I’m just starting on Hub Pages and would like to feature mu Hubs on my blog without manually making the links. If so, this would be a great plug in for me.
If you just want to make links automatically to your hubpages in the sidebar you don’t need this plugin. Just add an RSS widget in Presentation/Widgets, add you feed address from hubpages and your pages will show up in the sidebar allow with an RSS feed icon. That’s how I’ve done mine in the sidebar to the right.
Yes! We use this plug in on our site and its godsent!
I guess what I need now is a way to put an RSS feed in a post not a sidebar, could this help?
Is this kind of the same idea as feedwordpress? Sounds interesting.
Thanks, I always wanted an autoblogger=).
What about duplicate content?
Sounds like a great way to get some easy blogging done.
wow, nice bot!
I don’t need to keep updating my blog now.
Wow! This auto blog is more like auto pilot! You might face a problem with duplicate content but I love that idea. Thanks for posting it.
I already tried it and works great.
Very useful plugin. congrats.
thank you very much
