RSS and other syndication technology has brought some wonderful distribution developments for online publishers so much so that software developers are now buying into the content distribution revolution by producing free software that can generate content rich websites pretty much automatically.
As this software is free I took the opportunity to play around with over the weekend and although a bit cumbersome to begin with, once I'd watched the hour of videos included, it was pretty straight forward to use. I have a domain name that I purchased some months ago sitting there waiting for some action from me and I decided to put it to work by testing this software. The only requirements are a little html knowledge to get things moving.
Within the free software you create a project and pull in lots of keywords automatically, I used dogs as a broad keyword and it brought through the various hybrids such as breeds, treats, poodles and so on, It was very clever. Alternatively you could just enter a whole bunch of keywords from your own list. I then selected from a choice of 21 website templates and had to make some minor adjustments, adding the domain name etc. It then asked me for various items like Ad sense codes, RSS feeds based on my chosen keywords and if I was a member of any affiliate programmes it would gather those also. It took me just over an hour to gather everything and I then uploaded the files it generated to my parked domain name on my server.
I then opened up my web browser and typed in the domain to see the results. I could not believe what I was looking at each and every page had been produced with content, articles, adverts fro each and every keyword chosen. it included;
a full site navigation using all keywords, A full page of content per keyword, A good range of relevant dog articles per keyword, ad sense ads relating to the keyword affiliate links to match every single Dog keyword I could come up with.
I used ten keywords and got a fully operational ten page site providing relevant information for anyone searching for Dogs, Dog treats Poodles, etc. and I haven't even added my own content yet! But I could have used 100 keywords and it would have generated 100 pages. The software pulls in articles using RSS based on each keyword you use. Bad news for the web designer whose days must be numbered! But great news for article writers and article distribution sites because it will mean a massive demand for quality content available for distribution.
The domain I had parked doing nothing is now working for a living providing content for anyone searching for information on Dogs. If like me you have bought domain names and they're now "parked" this free software can put all of your parked domains to work and even test the market place for a specific product or service by automatically pulling in quality relevant content, along with your Google or yahoo advertising code.
It's not all plain sailing though, as you will need some basic knowledge of an html editor to make changes to the template links and uploading your logo although the training videos are pretty comprehensive. I am fortunate to have dreamweaver on my desktop but you can use notepad which is available on every PC,
The distribution services for article writers is growing exponentially and its all thanks to the developments of RSS and other feeds. The ultimate winner is all of us because we can look forward to better information at the time when we want it. |
