I was surfing Digg for the search term “automatic blog” when I saw a post that had been “dugg” 28 times.

Thinking how strange this was, since 2-3 diggs was the norm, I had check out this post. What could the author possibly have written on “automatic blogging” that would generate that kind of response.

The article was titled, “Automatic Blog Rehasher”.

When I read it,  I could see why and more importantly “how” it got so many diggs.  (You’ll see why when you read it).

The author posed the question, does good content matter anymore in the blogosphere?

The article is about rehashed content and its common use and increasing acceptance in the blogosphere. I agree that rehashed, garbage content offers little value to the reader and for the most part it is generally unintelligible.

Years ago (much less today), online marketers, mostly spammers, used software to scrape content from other sites to create hundred or even thousands of sites around specific keywords. While it still occurs, it is no where as common as it used to be.

This rift is between blogging purists and marketers who use blogs.  I think the real issue is purpose, which I addressed in my post titled, Automatic Blogs, Why So Controversial?

I draw a distinction between rehashed content and content that is automatically generated from article directories or other credible sources and that credits the source with appropriate attribution, i.e., includes a link back to article source and author’s bio box.

I suggest that you read Automatic Blog Rehasher for yourself at Hunter Nutthall.com and draw your own conclusion.

When you’re done, leave a comment and let me know why you think the article got so many diggs…

I’ll be blogging about that in a day or so.

Corporate blogging is beginning to take off with more business going on-line and creating blogs. The thing with corporate blogs is that they all have their own different agenda or goals they want to achieve through their blog. Depending on what industry a company is in, could determine what their blog is like.

For example, a company who is heavily involved with communications such as broadcast companies, newspapers, radio stations, and so on are more apt to integrate blogging into their company. This is because blogging is part of the “communication field” and those people in that industry are always looking for new ways to reach out to people and how to get news to more audiences. They still have to be reporting accurate news and citing their sources since that is the way of the journalism field.

Their main agenda is to get more people reading about the news through their news outlet. By doing this through blogging, they can create a closer relationship between the readers and news anchors or reporters since blogs tend to create a more personal atmosphere.

In looking at a different company’s perspective, blogging may be looked as more of another marketing tool. It’s another way to reach more potential customers. But some company’s have to be careful about what they say on their blogs—even though it tends to be an informal atmosphere.

A medical company such as one that deals with pharmaceuticals have to make sure they say the correct things about their drugs on their blog or else they could be liable for what they say. In the medical field, things must be worded a certain way and promises can’t be made or else the FDA will be on their backs about it. Their agenda in this case is to get people to buy their medical products. By creating a blog about it, it seems like it’s more of a third-party telling viewers the benefits of them instead of the actual medical company doing so which creates more trust.

Companies involved with the financial field who are blogging, may be doing so to communicate with their customers and encourage interaction and more education about what their company’s services can provide. They must be careful with their numbers because if they report something like an inaccurate percentage rate, their customers could get angry. Essentially their agenda is to get more people involved with their financial offerings and investments.

Every corporation has their own agenda when creating a blog. Corporate blogs should be honest and not fake when they are blogging and should write with the intent of creating a good relationship with the readers. If your corporate blog is stuffy and too informational, then viewers will take it as advertising and won’t be interested in reading your blog in the future. It’s not wrong to have an agenda, but be sure to do it the right way or else your corporate blog won’t do you any good.

In the part of the decade, the online world was fused to a new form of authors. These were the first crusaders of blogging. It was not long before WordPress blogs started showing up all over the world. With its powerful website CMS that enabled better blogging systems and a more intuitive interface, WordPress soon become the blogging software of choice.

WordPress was often just seen as blogging software. Few seen it as anymore than just a way to post a few personal notes. It was basically the first twitter. But an increasing number of marketers are finding that you can also use to create a tremendous amount of money in a very short amount of time. The most powerful function of WordPress lies in its ability to manage large amounts of text, audio and video content. After a dozen pages it becomes difficult to manage a static HTML site. Although you can use template-driven software as well like SBI or DreamWeaver, nothing beats the ease of WordPress.When it comes to ease of use, you will find no other software that can beat it.

In its native form, it does come with some useful tools and you can find a lot of useful free plugins that can increase it usefulness. Yet there is nothing that can come close to using premium blogging tools which easily transform the creation of a static website, an article directory, a WordPress based membership site system, a complete e-commerce site, an auction sites, a portfolio site and so much more. As a matter of fact you can also just about use it for anything. SEO, no worries, there are even premium themes created that can box with the best of them. Google is pleased.

Search Engine Optimization is another important element. By default, WordPress is pretty good at optimizing and creating SEO friendly content. However you can also get more serious and utilize simple WordPress plugins to further increase your SEO rankings and get better Yahoo or Google rankings.

Flexibility is one of its main strengths. Within minutes you can switch between hundreds of themes, plugins and widgets. You can do this all for free. Is there any software on the market that can boast free plugins, themes and widgets?

If you aren’t using WordPress, then I have one questions for you. Why not? The learning curve has reduced substantially in the past 3 years. A newbie can easily setup a blog within minutes. I am not kidding when I say in minutes, because when I first started blogging, I knew nothing about WordPress. It took me about 30 minutes to get my WordPress installed and publish my first post.

2009 and 2010 will be a new era for WordPress. The future of blogging will be WordPress. If you do a search on the internet you will find so many programs and systems that are geared to the success of someone using WordPress. Developers are creating some amazing software that can literally do anything you want with it. No matter your needs or ideas, there is a plugin that can make it happen. Some are paid and others are free, but none the less it can be done and it can be done well.

The beauty about Blogging is it can be both a great communication tool and also a great way to make money. If you’re new to blogging and yet want to start quickly, there are several business models you can try for maximum results in a short time. These are the 3 most popular ways to get you started.

1. Get paid to to blog. Using this method, you create your blog and add a few good articles to it. Then you signup with paid blogging networks like Pay Per Post or Review Me and see what “opportunities” are available. These networks are filled with advertisers looking for blogger who can help them spread the word, and they are willing to pay. Accept the opportunity, write about it on your blog, and you get paid.
2. Another way is to use AdSense. AdSense WordPress blogs and it requires a little more technical know-how. You need to build a WordPress blog on a specific niche topic, and start writing some good content on it. At the same time, try to get links from other blogs by leaving comment on the blogs or by doing a link exchange with the blogger. The objective is to get more traffic who will click on your AdSense ads and make you money.
3. The final most popular way is a little more complicated is affiliate marketing with WordPress blogs.You set-up a good WordPress blog but with this model the amount of content you publish is not as important as the “selling quality” of the content. Each post you write must pre-sell the web visitor and convince him to click on your affiliate links. When the visitor makes a purchase online after that, you get credited for the sale and earn commissions.

   It is good to do a little research before jumping into any of the methods discussed. You choice should be centered around the amount of time and resources you expect to put into your new blogging business. My recommendations are to choose a method that requires a minimum investment. Once you start to get use to the business, then you can use some of the more advanced methods. Save this article so you can go back to it and reference the other models. Once you get the hang of the first one, you will want to start a more advance blogging method. As your experience increases so will your income. You will also notice the amount of time it takes to write and market yourself will decrease.
