WordPress Plugins needed to run a Splog

My blog posts have been reblogged a few times in Splogs in the past and that too directly from my feeds. After switching to partial feeds, I never faced this problem until recently a few splogs like http://weblog-pla.net have started it again. This raised my curosity as to how they do this and that too automated.

After Googling for some time, I found two WordPress Plugins that these spammers use- Autoblog and FeedWordPress.

These are plugins that let you automatically post to your WordPress blog from an RSS, ATOM, or other XML feeds. You can preserve categories, give proper author attribution, do find and replace, caching, and publish in excerpts or full feeds! These plugins are dangerous as it can be used by Spammers to easily push high paying keywords into their blogs.

Posts are made automatically from other blog feeds and Adsense ads are placed on the splog too. After selecting a few blog feeds all that’s left for these spammers to do is collecting the money earned through Ads.

Here are some of the features of these plugins

• Automatic publishing
• Cronless cron jobs
• RSS .92, 1.0, 2.0, and Atom support
• Multiple categories
• Optional source attribution
• Optional find and replace
• Optional excerpt republishing

Note: I highly recommend that you do not use these WordPress Plugins. Earning money through these methods is not safe and can get you banned by the Adsense team.
