Although auto blogging has become an outstanding way for newcomers to generate long term earnings in this current economy, one of the biggest problems with auto blogging sites is their penchant for being classified as a spam site by the search engines.

- Vary the types of templates and layouts that you use on your auto blogging sites Many spam site simply use the same default WordPress template. This is a dead giveaway to the search engines.
- Don’t host more than 10 auto blogging sites on a single hosting account When Google sees 200+ auto blogs on the same IP address; they will shut you down in a heartbeat.

- To really help avoid being classified as a spam site, you need to make sure your auto blogs provide valuable information in addition to what other auto blogs provide.To do this you need to mix up a combination of unique content, PLR content, and content “scraped” from sites like Amazon, article directories, Yahoo Answers, etc. to help the search engines realize that your site is valuable.
At the very least, always make sure that your Home Page is unique.
