15 Year Web Expert and Scam Assassin Helps You!
Hurry, Flippa Seller offers Money Machine!
Well, it’s another day and there is another seller offering easy money on Flippa. Here is the listing:
This seller (Younicsoft) has been selling “autoblog” sites for a while on Flippa and hasn’t had much success. Which is a good thing, but I do feel badly for him. Most scammers are also victims… I am sure he read some ebook or some website that preached to him how easy it was to make autoblog (auto content / robot) websites and “flip them”. So, he put the advice to work and is passing on the scam; trying to make a living.
This seems to be the trend… Getting scammed, then scamming others. I believe much of it is unintentional. After all, if you read a guide that tells you a quick-and-easy way to make money — and it sounds good — you’re probably going to try it. And, often, they do not cry out “ETHICAL FOUL”. So, it can be an easy cycle to participate in. The “flip a website” epidemic has increased this 10-fold over the past 18 months.
This poor sucker is probably just trying to make money doing what he was told is so easy to do… But, either way, I would not buy one of his “autoblog” websites. They certainly are NOT money machines!!

Hi, have you bought any autoblog and got scam, thats why you have so much of experience in autoblog scam?
i do not call my self a guru in online marketing, but if you know seo, you should know keyword research, link building, rank on google and bring traffic to your site.
when TARGETED traffic is flooding your site, no mater your site is a unique content or autoblog (content call from other API), the site will make sales.
it is just like you are selling sport shoe, and someone really need a sport shoe come to you and he buy it from you.
buying a few hundred dollars website may not make you rich, but if you have many of them targeting different longtail keyword, and rank on google page one, then it is a different story.
you dont have to make a lot of sales from a website each day. if one of your autoblog can make you $5 a day (after seo), so 100 autoblog will make you $15,000 every month.
* longtail keyword = keyword that have less competition, but with around 1,500-2,500 google search / month
i seo an autoblog last month, targeting a longtail keyword with 1,900 searches / month, the competitors are amazon, yahoo, nextag etc, but i am able to rank on page 1 in less then 7 days, and went up to #2 after 1 month.
i mean i outrank those amazon & yahoo pages which targeting the same keyword.
so i don’t think autoblog is a scam if it is using to promote amazon or ebay products + some adsense. if promoting amazon affiliate is a scam, then i have nothing to explain further ….

Andrew, you are missing the problem. In fact, you are OPENLY PUSHING IT. Let’s pretend you are right and that auto-blog will make someone money…
You suggest…
“if one of your autoblog can make you $5 a day (after seo), so 100 autoblog will make you $15,000 every month.”
YIKES! You really want to litter the internet with junk!!
Imagine walking into a library and looking for a book on “how to flip a website”. Now you use the library search to find some good books on the subject and, guess what, the library returns the results…
286 copies of “Flipping for Scammers”. You go through page after page and it is still just the same book being offered. Some have different titles, so you do to the shelf and open it up — it is just “Flipping for Scammers” relabeled.
Is this how you would want your library to be? Full of the same information over and over? No??? THEN WHY WOULD YOU WANT YOUR INTERNET TO BE THIS WAY!?
The internet offers the ability for everyone to share their OWN perception on a subject — and the search engines allow you to scan through that information and access the different viewpoints.
People like yourself are trying to fill the internet with recycled content. I suppose you would love a Google that when someone searched for a topic all they found were 10,000 copies of the same article? Give me a break!
So you’ve had long tail keyword success with autoblog? Good for you! All you are here to prove, is that you can do well for yourself? Maybe you should challenge yourself to do well BY OTHERS.
Yes, your autoblogs may work for YOU – NOW – but junk like this will cause more and more regulation and scrutiny making it harder for FUTURE entrepreneurs to make money online. Read the flipping epidemic article, it has examples of this occurring.
Good luck, and hey, if you want to make HONEST money online I am here to help you!

I see you also sell lots of these sites on eBay for $0.99 trying to cash-in on the hosting fees.

Hi, thanks for your offer, i am open to learn anything related to online marketing. but this is my last post here because i do not agree to what you say about we all on flippa are scam and you are the only god …
we are amazon associate & ebay partner program affiliates, and we are legal to use amazon and ebay API, so if you are saying using these content are SCAM, then i have no choice to send your point of view to amazon and ebay for review.
the API will send keywords related product feed to the website, all the comment & description on products are real from amazon, it is just like RSS feed in a different way.
look at smarter.com & nextag.com, they are using API from cj.com and linkshare.com, so you mean they are scam site too? i am also a developer of these affiliate API, so i will send your point of view to them too to ask if i am participating in a scam program.
that’s all for now. good luck.

Good luck to you too. As I have stated my opinions here are OPINIONS, feel free to talk to Amazon or eBay and show them the sites you’ve been selling and get their feedback.
Take care and have a great week!

i don’t really care how you attack other people as scam to keep your blog alive, but for me i have printscreen every page as a prove of your statement.
it’s too late to remove anything from here, because anyone will have a record in wayback machine.
i don’t think you really know seo, you are 15 years old in IM, but your blog have 0 pr? wondering how many cent are you making now?
i will consult my lawyer, but if OPINION can use this way, then oh yes, you are a real SUCKER and that is just my opinion : )

Don’t worry, I do not plan on taking this down. So, you can just reference the site. Sorry, I am not 15 — ahh, to be young again! It is ironic how many people I call scammers come here and attack me by implying I do not make good money. I do fine. Of course, I am sure I could make more money if I were to throw ethics and morals away and just start selling junk.
Another trend is they all seem to be liars… Look what you said in your last post. I have put the important part in bold.
Well, you said it was your last post here and yet it was not. I wonder what else you say but do not mean?

You said, “Well, you said it was your last post here and yet it was not. I wonder what else you say but do not mean?”
Thanks for being cool, Chris. This guy need to be admitted in politeness class. You said, it was just your opinion from what you have learned, still he continues to attack with rude words. This guy is surely a junk seller.
