I have been looking for a complete organizer to organize my website empire!
You mention that you can organize your blogs and affiliate programs but also use it to organize all of your passwords, links, membership sites, hosting accounts, articles, snipits, ideas, etc
Just using blogautopublisher as an organizer is worth the price of the program.

Hi,
I know it isn’t ethical to criticise another product but I bought RSS2Blog a while ago and hence already spent a lot of money.
How does this product differ and what does it do better? Heard about it on Warrior Forum by the way.
Also pardon my ignorance but can you also explain:
What is a trackback?
What is a Technorati Tag? What does it do?
Maybe this will help me understand the power of your software.
What you need perhaps is a trade in program for people who can prove they own a competitior product - I know some software tools offer that sort of enticement.
Thanks for helping me understand.

Hi Dale,
I’m not affiliated with this blog except as a fan of the software, but I’ll offer this in answer to your questions if that’s all right with you and with Olga.
RSS2Blog simply does not compare to Blog Auto Publisher. RSS2Blog grabs RSS feeds and insterts them into your blog posts.
Blog Auto Publisher fully manages your blogs, and automates many of the mundane routine tasks involved in maintaining and posting to a blog. Far from being a mindless machine designed to copy verbatim copies of questionable content from one location on the net to another as so many so called blog automation tools really are; BAP is a management suite in a single interface that allows you to scheduale, manage, organize, post and maintain your blogs and their content.
It can republish RSS feeds exactly like RSS2Blog, but really, that is the least of it’s functions and capablilities. It can also manage and post articles from non feed sources such as article directories and public domain repositories. It can manage organize, schedule and post your own original content. It takes care of many small, but tedius tasks associated with maximizing the potential of each post to your blog as well, such as automatically rotating and inserting ads, links or anything else you care to put into the ad section. I’ve found a few non standard uses for the ad inserter alone. :) It also automatically handles technorati tags and trackbacks for you too.
Technorati (http://technorati.com) is a blog search engine. But unlike a regular search engine it has a search side that will list any blog post containing a given search phrase, but it also has a tag section where you are only listed if you have tagged your post for that phrase. Now the competition is about ten to one hundred times less in the tag section and the resulting traffic and secondary search engine indexing as a result of being listed there is many times greater than being listed only in the search side. (psssst… don’t spread that around too loudly, I enjoy being the ONLY blog in a few very valuable tag searches. lol)
A trackback is a way for two blogs to talk to each other. When I post to my blog that post will have a special URL called a trackback URI. Now if you make a related post and link to my post and put that special trackback URL in your blog where it asks for it, then my blog will automatically put a link to your post in the comments section of my post. This lets readers see what different bloggers have to say about the same subject, and it helps us both out with quality relevant links for the search engines to follow and index. All without cheating begging or stealing. Pretty fly, for a geek, huh?

Oh, I forgot. hehehe… Here’s my idea for another use for BAP. Make a link blog of your bookmarks at del.icio.us.
1. Make a new blog and set it up in BAP.
2. Grab the del.icio.us feed from your bookmarks page and give that to BAP.
3. set the scheduler to take 0 posts from the computer and 1 from the internet. and set the posting frequency.
4. put in a mixyure of ads, quotes, facts and such pertaining to the topic of your bookmark page.
5. toss in some adsense or other ad system of your choice.
6. add new relevant bookmarks to your del.icio.us page frequently (maybe even throw in some blog posts from your other blogs, hint hint wink wink).
7. feel the pride and satisfaction of providing a valuable free service to your fellow netizens for very little effort and no cost at all.
8. Blog With Style, Playa!

Dane,
Great idea!
I’d only like to correct one thing: when you set the scheduler to take 0 posts from your local computer and 1 from the Internet, it relates only to mixing your presaved posts with republishing _articles_. I.e. it will only republish articles in this case (if you set it where to take them).
With feeds it’s different: the feeds are republished every time BAP publishes to your blog, be it clicking on Publish Now or publishing on schedule, be it publishing a local post or republishing an article from the Internet. It just checks if the latest entry in this feed was already republished by BAP to this blog, and if not, republishes it.
If my explanations are too foggy, ask questions. :)
Thanks again for your contribution!
Olga.

Well, in that case I supose I need to add
5.a Post with Style, Playa! For something like this just a few simple Special Bookmarks Just for blog readers posts would fit the bill nicely.
“I didn’t post this on on del.icio.us because I wanted to share it just with you. This is a really special link that….”

I just got the Pro version and I’m playing with it. Now I realized it is a desktop program not a (php) server version- which mean the automatic thing can’t be done if the pc was off. Wonder if there is any plan for future version?
Thanks

Yes, we plan to add a service soon.

November 19th, 2005 at 2:57 pm
By a service, do you mean a monthly fee to use a server side script?
November 21st, 2005 at 8:29 am
By service: yes, a monthly fee, much less for BlogAutoPublisher customers, and in the future a server-side script as well.

Please keep me on your active list. Are there any archives available to read?

What do you mean?

The Blog Pimp, that is an awesome idea! As someone who had the honor of beta testing this software I’m till trying to work through all the features and there are always new ideas each time you review the features. I really salute Olga & her team for coming up with this amazing software - mind you, I don’t say things like this about software very often.
June 8th, 2006 at 11:13 pm
why do you don’t include a feed agregator in the software so you can drag and drop in a draft folder then edit and publish by lots, I use newscrawler with that feature and that can improve a lot your great software
