What Is WP Content Machine?
It’s basically a new autoblog WordPress plugin created by Ankur Shukla & Danny Ade. They claim that WP Content Machine is a an easy to use software that creates unlimited autoblogs that will find, publish & monetize new content on autopilot. I am sorry but anytime I hear about an products that claims they can creating money or content on autopilot, my bullshit radar is turned up! But maybe I’m wrong this time.
How Does It Work?
Unfortunately this WordPress plugin can’t read your mind to determine what content you want it to create . So you’ll need to set up this auto blogging tool using the following steps.
Step 1: Pick the keywords and the source of content that it will use to auto post on your blog.
Step 2: Schedule the plugin to automatically post content on your blog at certain intervals and days.
Step 3: Add affiliate links & ads into your content automatically.
Watch the video below to be walked through these simple steps.

I’d rather take down my blog than having automatically churned out garbage littered on my blog. Getting freelancers to write is a much better idea. I still don’t get why anyone would bother to get products like this to produce contents? Especially Google will be penalizing your blogs for low quality content without even securing your first visitors. Ok I’m exaggerating but that’s what I feel.
I hear ya Kenny. People are lazy or afraid of writing so that’s why they look for solutions like this. Back in the days you could get away with nonsense like this. But I just don’t think this type of stuff works as well today and it’s not worth getting your blogged banned in my opinion.
Hi Eddy,
I love the idea of having a plugin do all my writing for me. But in reality, if it were that easy, everyone would be buying the wp content machine.
It seems like there are more cons than pros. Oh well back to writing my posts:). I agree with you about WA. They teach you how to write content for posts and evaluate seo.
Thanks again.
Tim
I agree with you Tim. It would be great if a machine could actually do our writing for us. But this definitely isn’t it. You’re better off writing your own content or outsourcing it to good old fashion human beings.
Hi Eddy,
I have a friend who makes demo records. He can play a lot of instruments himself and then mix everything, but he always advices his customers to hire live musicians. Why? He believes that the interplay between the musicians will make the listener feel that they are listening to “real” music.
I think the same can be said about using content-machine to produce content. It won’t be responsive to the needs of the reader. Thus, the reader won’t feel that he or she is getting real value.
I agree Thabo,
I just feel the content produced by this tool will feel like a robot produced it unless you heavily adjust it. And at that point, you may just want to write it yourself or have someone else do it for you. So I hear ya. Good analogy!
Years ago back when I was naive and stupid I worked with a similar device such as what you reviewed in this article. After learning how it could be done, using the tool I discovered that based on writing one article suddenly it turned out to be 10 articles! Wow, I hit the big-time I felt.
I now know that the Google, Yahoo, and Bing search engines really frown on these type of plug-ins/tools/cheat sheets. The search engines aren’t stupid. Going through a person’s site where suddenly a bunch of articles contain similar content, it would be easy to recognize that the changing of words, phrases, sentences, etc. was in fact something based on ONE original article. People eventually got punished trying to take the easy way out in creating content that really was not so unique and different from other posted articles.
As you stated in your first listed “con” against buying this plug-in the fact that a “spun” content article might end up being illegible to a human reader I believe would force this person to consider it to be garbage, along with the entire website. And clicking out that person would never re-visit the website again under any circumstances.
Nothing beats well-written, unique, LEGIBLE and highly relevant content articles on a person’s website which over time if done consistently will get that individual ranked highly on Google, Bing and Yahoo!
Jeff
I agree Jeff. Back in the day you could get away with spun content and I’m sure people still do it. But long term it doesn’t make financial sense. Because your audience won’t stick around or come back. So although I understand the appeal of this plugin, it’s just not worth it if you want to build a long term business.
This is an interesting article but it seems that you would have to be very careful with this type of plugin. There are a lot of people out there selling sub standard plugins or others that have similar features to plugins that you can get for free. I have seen a few ads on wp content machine and thought that it sounded interesting for SEO purposes. But considering your rating and review, it’s not a good enough for me to try. Thanks for this valuable info!
You’re welcome Cole.
Wow, It’s so funny that I came across this article. Because just a couple weeks ago, I found myself discouraged because I was struggling with writer’s block for what felt like FOREVER. I was seriously contemplating if there was something out there that could help me create some juicy content. Lol! (I was feeling desperate, nonetheless). I’ve never been one who even likes to ask others for ideas for my next article, let alone seek someone to write one FOR me. But there are those times when you’re just not sure on what to write or how to even begin; especially for those who aren’t experts at it such as myself.
Hey Ashlee, Everyone goes through writers block. One way, I’ve over come that is focusing on writing articles that follow a simple outline that I can repeat over and over again like reviews and list style articles. So that’s something you should consider doing as well. But definitely don’t use plugins like this.

Hey Ashlee,
We’ve all been there. But I definitely don’t think wp content machince or plugins like it are the answer. You’re better off outsourcing the articles to real people when you run into this. So hopefully this gave you options to consider.
Very interesting indeed. It feels like Autoblog is a plagiarism tool. As you say without unique content, it’s not ideal for ranking. I wonder how I can make content building less time consuming and yet unique. Driving traffic and getting ranked is a real process that I struggle to find time for
Autoblogging does feel like plagiarism to me as well. But the plugin does allow you to include the source of the article. Although its optional. If you struggle with writing, then look into the writing resources I listed in the article. It may help you.
Having to crack my head with keyword ideas and finding time to write articles, I can see how this kind of plugin would appeal to niche bloggers. Honestly, I could really use some extra help myself too.
But when you know that this content will need fixing at the end, you would question if it’s worth the investment. Another thing is that you want the article to have your ‘own voice’ and if you want to have that element in your blog, there’s a good chance that you’ll need to rewrite the content all over again.
Writing is difficult for beginners, but it does get better with practice. I used to take 4 days to write an article. Now, it only takes me 4 hours.
Agreed Cathy. I totally get the appeal. But in the end the writing will be garbage. So you might as well write it yourself or outsource it. Thanks for your comment.
I doubt they’ll ever get this automatic writing niche in good order – well not in our lifetime anyway!
At the end of the day this is spinning content to put on your blog…and that will kill it almost instantly!
Spun content makes no sense whatsoever – at best it makes you look like a non English native speaker.
The only way to get decent content onto your blog is by taking the time to write it!
I totally agree with you Chris!
Well, this software is sure interesting. Reminds of some article spinning software I’ve looked at in the past, or software that scrapes content from the internet and republishes it with just a few minor word changes.
It would be great if some machine or software could magically produce great original content for you, but unfortunately it’s just a fantasy at the moment. Thanks for the heads up on the WP Content Machine.
Interesting idea though.
You’re welcome Darren.
