Is Autoblogging A Good Idea?
It appears that autoblogging may have seen it's best days, I have seen one or 2 former autobloggers reporting moving on to greener pastures.
There are various hybrid versions of autoblogs that contain original content blended with content pulled from article directories or RSS feeds. This may certainly that may fare better in the current "Goolge" search environment.
In part, Google's Panda filter, created to identify low quality sites with 'thin' or unoriginal content is flagging the typical autoblog content.

Sounds grim right?
Not to worry. Autoblogs are still relevant and they make sense for most online marketers; here's why.
The primary reason to autoblog is that autoblogging saves time. In essence autoblogs will give you the leverage you need to devote time to other aspects of your online business.
Blogs still are viewed favorably by Google and other search engines. However, the #1 reason most blogs fail is their owners stop posting to them.
I've talked with scores of bloggers who have started multiple blogs on all kinds of topics. When I ask them how is it going, the majority tell me that they've abandoned several blogs after loosing interest, not getting them to rank well and assorted other reasons.
If you are marketing online as an affiliate Internet marketer then autoblogging makes perfect sense because you can create content rich blogs in a matter of minutes as opposed to the laborious task of researching a niche and creating new content from scratch.
What about autoblogging after Panda?
Concern about Google "Panda" algorithm changes is legitimate.
Let's put this into perspective though. Google is constantly changing and tweaking it's search engine algorithm. Panda is not the first update and it will not be the last.
Online marketers have to be like marines in the sense that they have to overcome and adapt to changes on the Internet. That reality. We cannot control what Google does. We simply have to give them what they want... more or less.
IMHO Panda is not an issue. Once you understand what it is and how it works; Panda can be dealt with. A knowledge of basic on-page and off-page SEO will help you alot.
New software is being developed constantly and much of it addresses issues raised by Panda.
The real issue is not does autoblogging work, but do you know how to make autoblogs work for you.
