Previously I had written on how to fill up your article directory with free articles from UAW. With similar service, you can actually turn your WordPress into article directory using this plugin.
Preparation before installation.
It is recommended to do keyword and market research before the setup of any new blogs. Since no category is provided/created by this plugin or by UAW, you’re required to create appropriate categories prior to installation, although you can add or remove the category later on.
Installation
- Like other plugins, installation is straight forward. Upload the plugin folder into the /wp-content/plugin and activate it from your plugin menu.
- After installation, if you’re using WordPress 2.5.1, browse to setting followed by UAW-Control. This is the UAW admin menu, where you setup everything including how many articles you want to receive per day, categories (it is based on the categories you have created earlier) and etc
The plugin might not work perfectly at the moment. UAW is in the middle of making this plugin better (they’d just finished gathering info from the user), so you might see certain issues arising such as below
- Articles received not matching the category
- No article received for certain category
After everything is in place and you have start receiving articles, you might want to add, modify or remove categories, or move the articles from one category to another.
Auto blogging
This is what I was talking about before. Yes, this is possible with the combination of this plugin with WordPress and Blogspot. Set it to auto approve each articles on the niche topic of your choice, and you got blog that has new contents everyday.
I have read about RSStoblog or Article Extractor plugin that allows you to setup article directory on WordPress platform or doing auto posting, but that plugin will cause you hundred bucks. With this plugin, you can kick your auto blogging within a minute and free of charge.
Every tool has its down side and this plugin is not perfect either. While the combination of RSStoblog + Article Extractor can provide you the article on the topic of your choice on daily basis, UAW plugin is not able to do so 100%. First, it still depends on the article availability at certain time, and secondly, it is possible that certain categories won’t have or receive any articles, again due to no article on that particular topic.
Another thing that I don’t really recommend is, if let’s say you’re away or unable to update your blog, turn on this plugin and let it posts a new article daily. But, this might turn your visitor away from your blog later on.
Btw, this article is not meant to teach you how to spam the net with duplicate contents on different blogs, but to give you idea on how you can setup auto-pilot blog. Use it at your own risk. ;~)
