Multiple blog management
-
1. is using the wordpress “multisite” function as easy as it looks? want to post to many blogs simultaneously.
2. #1 above is good, but better..please reply on next:
a. say i make 100 posts into all my blogs . all the posts are alike. but now with 100 posts i’ve essentially built a post database. say i have 20 blogs. but i want to create 20 more. but the second 20 i dont want to manually post to them. instead, i want to automatically tap the post database to randomly pick and deliver posts to the second 20. so no 2 of the 20 get the same post on the same day. how can this be done? -

You cannot do that here.If you want to set up your own WordPress MU (wordpress multisite) blogging platform on your own web server or one one your pay for web hosting of, , like a small version of the WordPress.com one here, then see here > http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

That’s NOT what the software is for because posting duplicate content across domains has bad SEO consequences. Read Google’s position on that kind of spammy search gaming behavior here > http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66359

Ok. So nothing computer-generated. I wanted our content to look diff on ea blog. I figure if the content is legit what’s the diff how or when it gets posted.. but I’m not fighting city hall. I wasn’t on the debating team either :).
So we’ll assume every blog gets identical posts each day. Now, here’s the big Question.. what if 39 out of 40 of the blogs we post to (simultaneously) are each associated with 39 different websites, owned by 39 diff people – not me. ..?
-
The answer to your question is that the kind of behavior you wish to employ is considered to be scammy and spammy and is not supported here. WordPress.com supports original content only blogs. Staff expect all duplicate content blogs to be made private.
-
P.S. As I make my living in part form contracted research and writing I have been faced with duplicate content in SERPS (search engine page results) and I religiously report, without fail Ievery splog I experience directly to Google.

I was thinking of an ad agency that would create a blog for client A. If client A and client B are in the same industry there is no reason (outside of small customizations) to reinvent the blog wheel providing the clients are not competitors….ie: local business #1 in san diego, the other in boston. Get it? This way i could offer blogs at prices accommodating very small businesses due to making a blogs a production scenario instead of a custom effort ea and every time. Any idea how to do this and also obey the rules?

Your thinking is completely off base for this site. No blogger initiated advertising, retailing or reselling the work or products created or services provided by anyone other than yourself is allowed on free hosted wordpress.COM blogs. E-commerce transactions via shopping carts and the like cannot be conducted on free blogs from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM
The advertising exceptions noted in support documentation are for high traffic blogs that qualify for and are accepted into the Ad Control program, soon to be replaced with the WordAds program, and for extremely high traffic blogs that qualify and are accepted into the paid VIP hosting program.

Do as you propose above here and I will report each and every splog relentlessly until they are all suspended.
-
You’re saying if my activities have nothing to do with http://www.wordpress.com I’m ok by the WordPress people even though I’m using WordPress ?
-
-
I’m not sure I’d do it. Sounds like it conflicts in the bigger search engine picture which I didn’t even think about.
-
The Terms of service group also have some very fine automated tools that find blogs in violation of the TOS – the blogs are then suspended – no warning and the content lost – the tools are so good that some blogs get suspended as soon as they click on “Publish” – and since you are charging for setting up suspended blogs – you will end up giving all the money back to the clients – – you will also find that the average reader here has a very low tolerance for spam and duplicate content and will report suspected blogs at the drop of a hat

I was wondering why it hadn’t been done. The ad agencies re-invent the wheel all day and they almost never work in vertical markets. Yes I see redundant info all over the web.. those people have seo interests. Last thing on my mind this time around. Oh, well.
-
I used to work for an agency that did this sort of thing. It was spam, and the company stopped doing it once Google brought in the changes to their search engines: you would basically be asking search engines to throw ALL of your sites down a well. Don’t think using cosmetics will change this: Google employs geniuses who are way ahead of you.

Ummm … you would basically be paid by your “clients” for what amounts to spamming the SERPs and amounts to asking search engines to throw ALL of the sites down a well.
