I posted about this program on the Monthly/Free downloads thread, but feel it deserves a thread of its own...This program has a lot of potential...

I bought resell rights to this program. It's your's FREE (since this is a paid membership):
www.dombom.com/iframes/RSS-Package.zip

Top Hat and I were having problems getting it to work, and it seems many other folks were having the same problem, you'd enter the info, get to the captcha screen and fill it out, then nothing....

Here's the problem (we think): You need to enter an email address that is NEW to Google. You can just make one up, as you don't need to verify anything, but you need to make sure that it's never been seen by Google before.

Also, you will need to enter at least one article and one RSS pheed for each article.

Note: Your RSS pheed will be placed in the sidebar and act as external links. THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO USE YOUR RSS BLACKHOLE and your other pheeds containing your own links.

Your articles will all be posted at once, there's no automated posting over time.

I suggest you post decent articles, either original or PLR. Take the time and convert some of the keywords to anchor text, pointing the links to other sites of your's.

Using a few decent articles, you can create a pretty good blog in just a few minutes, if you have the content already prepared. Then, use the RSS pheeds to create interlinks for all your resources.

Spend a little bit of time getting to know this program. It's free, easy (once you get the feel of it) and should be very effective as a way to build your own linking network.

Tips:

1. Use a proxy if you set up a lot of blogs with it, or each time you use a different email address.

2. Include AdSense SPARINGLY, if at all. Remember, AdSense is a hige fingerprint that tells Google EXACTLY who you are. Your goal with these sites is to build a linking network and not generate revenue directly.

I don't like to burst people's bubble when they have spent money or time doing something and are willing to share it only to find out it doesn't work for me.

That's the case with RSS Explosion. I tried it when Kurt originally posted it. Tried it a few times and gave up on it. Didn't want to post that it sucked. I had no problem picking up the phone and telling Kurt that privately.

After talking to Kurt, I thought I would try it again, and again and on another computer. I kept updating Kurt with screenshot errors and rude emails. Finally I got him to try it. Same problem. But then it started to work for me.

We managed to figure out the problem and Kurt posted the solution above. I don't see any of his links to blogs he made. He went to bed while I tested further.

Here are the results from 2 batches of articles I tried:

Game-Copy-Pro-Review---How-to-Make-.blogspot.com
Jet-Set-Radio-Future---A-Unique-Sty.blogspot.com
DVD-Movie-Copy-Software---Things-To.blogspot.com

Reviving-Old-Computer-Games.blogspot.com
Xbox-360:-A-Revolution-in-Console-G.blogspot.com

As fast as you can type captchas you can make free blogspot blogs and upload the article you want.

Here is where the love hate part continues.

Not all the blogs work. Nope. The program throws access violation errors. Not sure if it is because blogger doesn't like the article or if because the program has a bug, it doesn't post the article.

In theory, the program is great. It creates working blogs 50 - 70% of the time. That's good enough for me considering the SEO value and the limited amount of time it takes.

One other thing, this forum is for SUPPORT of Kurt's programs as well as his ideas. Don't be scared to post questions or concerns if something doesn't seem right for you. This is where the VALUE of your membership comes in. Post away!

A quick SEO tip: Don't use double (triple) hypens in domain names (or file names), as it's a fingerprint for SEO, and there's some strong rumors that Google does't like excessive, repeated hyphens.

After a lot of testing by Top Hat, this program is really "required" in the over-all strategy of this forum.

Get to know this program, it makes setting up Blogger Blogs very easy...

You'll need plenty of articles and RSS pheeds beforehand. However, once these are created, Top Hat has been making 100 blogs a day using this program.

I've also used the program as you said and created 7 blogger blogs in less than 20 mins

~ Mou

If you organize your material in batches like articles, rss feeds and gmail accounts so that you can just copy and paste, you can easily get a blog a minute (not counting your setup time).

As with any task, it takes almost just as long to organize for 20 blogs as it does 200. Plus once you have your material organized, you will be motivated to finish the batch off. You will also find time during short breaks to enter batches of 10 or 15 captchas if everything is organized and ready to go. That's enough articles and blogs for one email account.

I have had problems going over 15 blogs per email account and I find it works best with freshly made gmail accounts that haven't been used anywhere on Google before. Also remove everything but alphanumerical characters from your title and double spaces/trailing or leading spaces. They will get replaced with dashes and make your title look spammy as Kurt noted.

Hi,
I have started to use this rss explosin and it asks for rss feed url.
How do I create rss feeds of my site?

I have read the rss black hole thread, but will have to read it a few more times before it starts to make sense.

Any tips or advice?

bye,
faraz

>How do I create rss feeds of my site?

Here is one tip Faraz. Almost every blogging platform automatically creates a rss feed. You don't have to do anything but find it.

For example, WordPress default is the blog url with /feed/ appended.

Try that with the blog you sent to Kelvin in the other thread:

http://##farazBLOGNAME#.wordpress.com/feed/

That's the URL you want to use for the form that asks for an RSS feed.

Now everytime Kelvin posts to your blog, your blogspot blog will be updated in the sidebar with the title of his post.

Try it. You will be amazed as it comes together.

>How do I create rss feeds of my site?

I cover this more on this thread:
"Your Own Blog Farm - Network"
http://www.dombom.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=77&forum=DCForumID42

Read the post about Planning. Refer to the above post for strategy.

I'll start a new thread about how to actually create RSS pheeds.

I had posted about rss explosion in another thread and so I am now posting the question in this thread again.

Hi,
I have created a pheed using blue sky's rss convertor.(Thanks blue_sky)
Then I created a blog using rss blog explosion.

This is the blog I created--- http://who-is-harry-potter52.blogspot.com/

The problem is that I dont see any article there. I had used an article there. First I had put the article in front page and then pasted the html code given by frontpage in the blog explosion software.

I am unable to see the article and the my feeds just shows up with the title that I had used. I mean, my feeds dont look like the feeds in the example blogs.

Could you point out the mistake that I made?

bye,
faraz

LAST EDITED ON Dec-12-07 AT 06:10 AM (PST)
 
Well, I was finally able to make the feeds in the sidebars work.
I still dont know why the article was not posted when I created the blog.

So, I logged in to blogger and posted the article myself.
Will have to check why the article is not being posted using the software?
First I paste the article in frontpage and then I copy the html code that frontpage generates. I paste that code in the space for the article.
Do you guys do it the same way? Maybe I will check by posting a plain article there.

bye,
faraz

EDIT: Okay, I just created one more blog, and this time I just pasted the article text in the space and the blog was created perfectly.

Hi Faraz,

Looks good. You sometimes need to spend some time just figuring things out.

Now, change your RSS pheed. In a day Blogger with check it and update it.

Now that the hard part is over, keep making blogs.

Change IPs/email addresses regularly.

Hi Kurt,

Here's one of the several blog I created with RSS Explosion Software.

http://free-home-business-ideas8.blogspot.com/

The sidebar contains a 'main-tin.rss' as you explained in the other thread. I'm going to update this feed with more tin resources I create

I have used scrubz to create this feed.

Is this what you want us to do? Is the feeds appearing as it should be in the sidebar? They are just showing the Feed Titles that have been included in the main-tin.rss. Should it be that way?

Also where does the rss blackhole feed fit in this? I've sme blogs created with the blackhole feed in the sidebar

And finally, In case of Wordpress blogs there's no option to add the feeds in the sidebar. So what we do for those? Do we simply add the (tin/silver) site url as the blogrolls for Tin WP blogs?

~ Mou

UPDATE: After Posting above, I included more feeds in the main-tin.rss through scrubz and uploaded it. However, the Modified feed is not reflected in any of the blog's sidebar. They are showing the same 4 feed titles when actually it should be 9. So this fails the whole purpose i.e one main feed to control all resources. What I'm doing wrong? Any idea?

LAST EDITED ON Dec-12-07 AT 12:41 PM (PST)
 
Strangely enough... after an hr of posting the above, none of the tin blogs are showing the tin rss feed mentioned above in the side bar of blogger blogs.

The feed appears fine in the browser, yet dosen't appears in blogger blog.
http://webnichehosting.com/feeds/businessidea-tin.rss

Yet it's now stating invalid url for feed when I checked in the blogger settings.

Update: I'm truly puzzled now. Tried to create yet another test blog with rss explosion software...this time blog is not even created...showing invalid Feed url for not only the above feed, but also the rss blackhole feed which I've used previously to create blogger blogs. Truly puzzling.

Spent hours today on this....everything seems to be working fine,but then suddenly this. Any help greatly appreciated

~ Mou

Kurt,

I created an rss feed using Atlasbomb on one of my sites but when I try to use it in RSS Explosion I get an "invalid feed" error.

Any idea what may be wrong? Atlasbomb feed not valid for this?

Thanks

Noel

Hi Mou,
I have updated the pheed also and it has not updated yet.

But as Kurt has said above that blogger will look for updates on our pheeds in a day (or maybe longer) and then we will be able to see the changes that we have made.

As to the invalid feeds. I also had that. I was using the rss converter and created the feeds,but got the invalid feeds "error message".

I had to check the option where rss converter where it would strip html tags for strict rss syntax.
So maybe that's the problem that you are having. Strip the excess html tags to get a strict rss syntax.

Hope this helps.
bye,
faraz

Hi Noel and Mou,

I can't offer much support for RSS Explosion as it isn't my program and I only know what you know.

For the RSS, you may want to check to make sure the pheed itself is valid by using this service:
http://feedvalidator.org/

RSS CAN be "funny". A pheed may work one time, not the next. Or, a pheed will often work for one reader and not anthor. For example, BlogBomb is much more "picky" than Newz Tuel.

Hi All,

I am trying to get RSS explosion going.....

I get to the capcha screen and enter what I see....

Then I keep getting blank captcha screen that keep asking me to enter the captcha.... Infinite loop.

What am I doing wrong?

Blessings,

Ed

I gave up on RSS Explosion for the moment.

I found it faster and less annoying to do the blogger
setup manually.

When I added the rss feed I created with Atlasbomb
manually to blogger it worked fine, so it would seem
that RSS Explosion has bugs.

Noel

You are not doing anything wrong Ed. Mine stopped working also.

So have a few others in the support threads for the product:

http://www.theadsensebuzz.com/forum/

One thing about Blogger - they make frequent changes. What works today may never work again.

Biggest problem with scripts like this that are widely shared is that you can't expect them to last long.

Almost better to share the concept and instructions and suggest some possible automation solutions and then have everyone develop their own tool, script or macro.

I am working on some alternatives with Easy Blogger Creator - it might even work better.

Thanks Top Hat!

I just created my own macro and can make things go pretty fast. I'll be posting what I did soon.

Also, Kurt, you had mentioned that we needed to add all our RSS feeds to a list. How do we do that for blogger blogs? I don't thing there is anything we can use since they use atom. Right?

Blessings and Merry Christmas,

Ed

HI Ed...

>I just created my own macro and can make things go pretty
>fast. I'll be posting what I did soon.

Thanks...That will be great.

>Also, Kurt, you had mentioned that we needed to add all our
>RSS feeds to a list. How do we do that for blogger blogs?
>I don't thing there is anything we can use since they use

Yes, Blogger does use atom instead of RSS, which is a pain.

Here's some possibilities (I haven't tried them):

http://www.2rss.com/software.php?page=atom2rss
Free online service. Concerns about being dependant on third party service. Have to open a new account for every atom pheed.

Grouper
http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/grouper/features.php
Costs $25. Has free version but free version doesn't convert atom to RSS.

Also:
www.feedburner.com
I think will convert atom to RSS.

Problem: Google bought feedburner recently. I don't know about putting all your Blogger accounts together like this, making it easy for Google to say they are all related.

Assuming these all work...I'd use the free service until you've built enough Blogger blogs to know you're actually going to do it...Then I'd try the "Grouper" script.

Anyone have any experience with any of these resoureces, especially Grouper?

Again, I haven't tried any of these.

Hi All,

Ok, here is a video to show you what I did with a program called macroexpress (macroexpress.com)

It is a very powerful program as it can do anything (almost) that you can do manually.

I used it to take data in an excel file to create blogger accounts. Very easy and doesn't matter what blogger does to update things because you can see everything the macro is doing. Maybe it takes slightly longer than some of the automated tools but being able to control things yourself is huge!

Also, you can reuse the files to create wordpress, typepad, any other type of blog with just a little bit of manipulation.

If you want the files that I used, just let me know.

Here is a 5 minute video I created to show you what I did.

http://www.edwardaw.com/macroexpressdemo/demo2.html

Great video Ed.

I hope everyone takes the time to watch it. It will make macro believers out of them.

Have you used free iMacro for Firefox? I have been coding most of my macros in it for blog creation and email activation.

Here is another example where sharing only strengthens a team.

What's really important as you noted is organizing your data so that it can easily be shared among your different tools.

The biggest part of automation is not how fast a macro can run but how far you can make one data file go without reformatting it. A master data file that can be used for 3 different blog platforms reduces two thirds of the setup time.

Thanks again Ed.

Hey Top Hat,

I haven't used Imacro but am looking now!

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Ed

I added the blackhole pheed to the blogger (in the settings you can add it in "Site feed") and did set it to complete texts.

But now a couple of days later it still didn't post it in my blogger ? Do I forget something ?

LAST EDITED ON May-24-08 AT 11:13 AM (PST)
 
Ok... I got it now !!!!

You have 2 options...
1) add it as RSS feed itself ( at bottom the rss feed) OR
2) you can add the news items of your rss feed behind article or right column !!

Is it best to do both ? I suppose ? More exposure, right ?

Wasn't it meant to post the article(s) in the blogger itself as article with anchor text and link to our sites ? Or I am still missing a point

To be correct foe point 2 => only anchor text is shown !! No article/description is added...

This is OK for linking, bad for content creation.

It's expensive, but if you really need power for Blogger, try:
Easy Blogger Creator Pro

Hi All,

is anyone still using RSS Blogger Explosion?

I have tried several times, new google email etc, various articles. I get through the captchas, then it rushes through the "save changes" screen and then gives me the url.

However, if I go to url there's nothing there, i try to log in and it states I have to log in using my google account.

It looks like blogger has changed its process - as we need a new email to create - but its not allowing you to log in without a google account.

Anyone else having similar probs or know a solution?

many thanks
Jason

Hi Jason,

I haven't opened it in a long time, but it working has always been questionable, at best.

Since it has such a history, I wouldn't spend too much time with it...And I hope I didn't waste too much of your time. Not sure if I should leave the download links or not.

What is everyone using to auto-blog nowadays? I am using wp-omatic for wordpress but this only works on paid or the very few freehosts that will allow you an sql database to install WP, which limits my ip address's. I'm plan on using a few blackhole feeds and some RSS converted PLR articles I have to "drip-feed" my other "free blogs". E.G. free WP, blogger, etc. Any suggestions?

Hi Chris,

This is exactly what ZZ Tuel is for. If you can't install a blog, auto-blog tools aren't much good.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-27-10 AT 06:16 AM (PST)
 
Yes indeed. I just wasn't sure if there was any software out there that would auto-login to your free blog, post for you, etc. That's what I meant by autoblog software, sorry for not clarifying.

I have been using ZZ and I did notice that this is also a simple way of setting up autoupdating sites. ZZ is a very powerful tool.

I've been using "yahoo pipes" with ZZ and the newz tool to create some very unique RSS feeds. If anyone hasn't tried pipes yet, they are user created tools with a variety of services. I use them to rip twitter, ident.ca, and other social sites posts and put them into one updating feed. There are pipes to rip just about any kind of content. http://pipes.yahoo.com - search for twitter, identi.ca, etc, and see what you can use to create your own feeds. Use this with Kurts tools and you will have an extremely unique rss feed. Enjoy.

Chris

I think I've found what I've been looking for. Autoblog samurai, from the makers of a WSO, have a program that will autoblog to free wordpress and blogger sites. The only problems I see it it doesn't have a proxy feature, and wordpress catches on to you after your second free blog. I have a way around this however, as I can change my 000.000.000.xxx IP address by simply changing the MAC address on my router. Pain in the ass as you have to do this each time you create a freeblog, lol. Other than that it is perfect for using your blackhole script(also allows for articles,clickbank,amazon,more posts) to post content to your blogs. I am also looking at Link Farm Evolution. Which is a server side program that will find WPMU's, blogger's, pliggs, more. and makes it easy to make a blog farm.

Just thought I'd share my latest experiences. My new project is building the blog farm, integrating it into the ZZ tuel freesites I have built, then getting them some PR and links back with web 2.0 profiles. I have someone that is doing an SEnuke blast for me. This will make the backlink generation much easier.

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the info on autoblog Samurai. Sounds like your network is coming along pretty well.

And you're right about the blackhole being able to use all types of content. It takes some effort to set up, but it can really spit out content once you've got it going.
