ORIDE stand for override (I think). It is a command that is used in articlebot. It substitutes words from your keyword list into an article.

In article bot it will create a page for every keyword in your list.

Reply with quote

You may find the videos I made to be helpful in gaining a wider perspective of Para Builder's features etc.
I've uploaded them to my server, it's a two part video. When the 1st part finishes, another webpage will open showing the 2nd and final part.

The vids are of 12mb and 13mb respectively, so if your'e on a dial up... sorry about that.

Here's the link:
http://www.askstewartalexander.com/vid/parabuilder2.html

Hope this helps to shed some light for those in need of more info.

Reply with quote

Articlebot and Parabuilder seem to be a great way to quickly build a website with good content. I use ken Evoy's site-build-it, which does not allow server based software. Is there a software out there that performs the same functions, that you can install on your laptop??

I bought AIS through a Rosalind Gardner link --- I didn't see it through Allan.

I was not impressed with all of the extras you have to buy and buy on an ongoing basis to make the system work.

ArticleBot --- WOW! Create 100 pages that are exactly the same content, but worded differently. That is impressive --- NOT. Sounds like a spam site generator to me.

The "low 10 niche" idea sound interesting. I think that could be the part that makes AIS worth my investment. BUT, I don't like the whole system all that much.

I read trough the manual once for an overview. I will go back through it and see what kind of meat I can pull out of it.

Here is Rosalind's take on it. She doesn't seem to like it, but will be happy to take an affiliate fee for you signing up --- if you buy, USE Allan's link since this is his forum ---for Rosalind's view,

Perhaps filters gobbled up that edition of the newsletter. Here it is:

In my review, I suggest a way to adapt Neil's method and add your own twist.

For long-term success, unique, interesting, useful content is a good way to go.

Incorrect. It gives you the ability to do more with less. You can swap whatever for whatever. Html for java or images or text or excel tables or numbers or data.

Here is an example: Say you want to do a "dating site." You have seen em where they pull in images of men or women with your home town blah blah. All that stuff can be churned out. Write out about 200 descrptions with 100 words each and then take entire sentences with images and cities and states.

It has cut down our team's workload by over 60% and that is with blue collar workers running it.

Not that I care if people buy it or not. Just clearing up things. It takes a while to get use to and there are some issues but it gives a good ROI for what we use it for.

Again, not for everyone but neither are most things.

Hello

This is my first post to this forum, and though I should probably introduce myself first, I was reading this thread with interest and wanted to post my feelings.

I bought the AIS PDF and flash movies, not only because of Allan's comments but also other positive comments from another forum. I like the idea of having several sites each earning something, rather than trying to rely on one big one to do a lot of earning. I know little about portals and directories, and don't know a blog from a ping. So I like Neil's idea and the fact that his PDF gives screenshots and his movies show him actually building a site from scratch.

He does recommend several other things to purchase such as ArticleBot, but I think one can either do AIS without buying hardly anything else, or can find cheaper alternatives. In fact I'm a programmer and I wrote a little program that does the same thing as ArticleBot seems to do...creating skeleton html pages with my original content, then substitute words in my content with other words, changing the keyword in the title, etc. The only things I think you really need to purchase are the domain name and hosting space, but you'd have to do that anyway for any web site you'd develop.

I'm pretty new with all of this, making money this way, so I haven't put this to a test to know if Neil's plan would work. But I hope that it works to the tune of $1 or so a day for each site, because then one could create 200 of these sites and make a living. Or am I being too ambitious about AIS?

Anyway, I'm glad there is this discussion here about AIS and hope to hear from others if they have been successful using his ideas, and what else can be done to improve on them besides original content on every page. Also it's been mentioned to be careful, for example one should make the content unique on each page, and I was wondering what other things should one be careful of, to not get Google angry. Thanks for reading and for this discussion, and for this free forum! Smile

To me, that sounds more like a job than a living. Smile

However, because you're a programmer, perhaps you can get satisfaction from doing that sort of work.

I think it would be useful to try to look five years ahead and anticipate how much competition you'll have. The more interesting and useful and unique you make your sites, the better chances you'll have of long-term success.

If you aim higher, say aiming to produce at least $300 a day from each site, and do the sort of things needed to reach that level, and keep gradually improving your sites and getting more good links to them, you'll stay ahead of a lot of the competition.

Basically, I suggesting you adapt Neil's instructions, using your own brains, which you're obviously pretty good at doing.

Surely, you mean $300 a month per site? Cool

Whoops! I did. Slip of the typing fingers. Well spotted!

The higher figure is possible, too, but probably not from the sort of site being discussed.

200 sites should only take 30 hours max to produce if you go that route. 30 hours a month (or a year if need be) sounds like a good job to me Wink.

So it should take 9 minutes max to produce a site? And that's without coming up for air between them. Really?

How many pages?

I take it the "route" is Articlebot.

Even so, I defy anyone to produce an original site worth calling a site in 9 minutes or less from scratch.

You make it sound so easy.

I am all for leverage. Being a lazy so-and-so, it is one of my favorite words. And - if they are honest - every single "guru", "super affiliate" and the guys Bob Silber refers to as "shadow marketers" all employ the technique one way or another.

But a lot of newcomers look to these forums for sound advice about what is or isn't possible for the Average Joe.

I think they would be more than a little confused to read that.

First, I have been around this forum for a while. If you are posturing than well I will just let this thread be as I have no desire to get into a debate.

I could give a rip about the "guru." They are marketers. I pay marketers. I am a business person. And, to be straight, marketers are script kiddies when it comes to this stuff. They use without knowing or understanding.

Second, original content is somewhat of a joke. I would prefer to go to a spot that pulls in multiple views in unique ways than show up to a webmaster's site about "topic a" when they know little about the subject except for doing down and dirty college research (as in what student's do for papers). Truth be told, a webmaster doing a site on heart problems can do little but weave words and cite sources. Is that original? Well, yeah, it is in a way.

So, is pulling things into one spot. The method can be original. The design the newsletter on the site, oh, heck this has been rehashed. Ha. Look, more rehashing. Is that original?

And yes, with some work and outsourcing I can develop a totally original site by combining elements in a database in about 12 min. Sure the back-end work to develop the system cost me money and time. Yet, that was a one time deal.

No, not article bot-that is to slow. No not a tool that you see on the shelves, though they can all be hacked up to create neat sites. My own thing but nothing special.

With respect... how long you personally have been around this forum is not the issue.

Quote:

No. I am not posturing. I am just sick and tired of hype and BS, and especially of people apparently making small fortunes from it.

And, unlike your post to which I am now replying, that is how your previous post came across to me... appearing as hype and BS.

Outwith the behemoths such as Amazon, eBay etc. and some of the other indigenous stores, and the bricks and mortar businesses which have migrated part of their sales effort to the internet, much of the so-called "internet marketing" is just about sharks (some of them masquerading as respectable "netizens") selling dreams to dreamers, who in turn try to sell the same dreams to more dreamers.

Quote:

Without knowing you, you seem like an intelligent person. And one who sees things from a different perspective than the norm.

But I can understand your aversion to debates. Truth be told, I am not much of a one for debates either. I don't have the patience. In fact, with the majority of people (the ones with the herd instinct mentality; the ones who are not straight with you because they are fundamentally dishonest or because they are terrified of standing out from the crowd) I have zero patience. But there is a minority for whom I have unlimited patience. Generally, they fall into two categories... those who tell it like it is (provided they have manners and common sense)... and those who life walks all over.

Quote:

I never suggested that you are a "guru". That aside...

I don't agree with your assessment of what a "guru" is in internet marketing terms. Yes they are marketers. But they are also business people... some of them very astute business people.

And if you have the self confidence to refer to yourself as a "business person" then I can only assume that you are successful at what you do. In which case it is also probably safe to assume that the marketers you pay are also successful at what they do. In which case they are also business people (whether or not they pay their taxes, well that's a different story).

Just because you pay someone else to do your "dirty work" doesn't mean you are not a marketer. What's the point of being in business otherwise? Branson is one of the most astute business people around. But he is also a marketer. He just doesn't stand at the check-in desk handing out the tickets. He pays someone else to do it. (Overly simplistic analogy perhaps, but I am sure you get my point).

The only "marketers" who are not, in essence, business people are the aforementioned dreamers.

Quote:

Point taken (in the context of me referring to an "original site").

Hype and BS aside, most of what you find on the internet is third hand information, not first hand knowledge.

Quote:

You have proved my original point here.

Most newcomers haven't got a clue about outsourcing and "back-end" work. None of them have a database.

But that doesn't stop the dreamers among them (of which there are many) from reading your previous post and thinking... "hey, this internet marketing lark must be real easy... you can build 200 sites in 30 hours tops".

Quote:

I guess that makes everything OK then. You were just telling us that you have it all sussed. 200 sites in 30 hours if you follow "that route". But you don't state (in specifics) what the route is.

Of course, it is entirely your prerogative whether you reveal your system or not. I respect that. But, if you don't intend saying anything substantive about your system then why bother saying anything about it at all? Why not "just do it"?

There are already more than enough false hopes floating around in cyberspace.

No big deal?

An astute person such as yourself knows that it takes time and effort to succeed (even more so if you haven't got money to back it up).

The dreamers are the prey for the sharks, remember. Tell the "suckers" how easy it is and they will take the bait.

So why prolong the agony by perpetuating the myth?
