WP Automated Blog Content Posting Tools

Blogging is a great way to build an internet business because it provides an easy way to add fresh new content on a regular basis. Beyond that, the search engines love blogs because of the way all the pages get linked to each other, resulting in websites that get indexed quickly. But the problem with blogging as always been how to add enough content on a consistent basis that will provide the level of fresh new content that is required to get the page rankings to drive sustainable traffic.

That's where the new generation of new technology tools for autoblogging will provide you with lots of help! What was once considered black hat article-scraping techniques, have now turned into sophisticated automated blog posting plugin tools that build real content from multiple sources. And that is what is important in the process... the ability to mix content from multiple sources in one post provides unique content pages that is almost impossible to replicate.

Let's say that you have a niche market with products from multiple sources that you can sell to monetize your blog. With an automated blog posting plugin tool, you can define your automated posts to include articles, video, Clickbank products, eBay products, Amazon products, Yahoo Answers content, and more. Since all of this data is presented in pure HTML by the automated blog posting plugin tool, the search engines will recognize all of the content as unique.

I have set up several automated blogs and am starting to discover a plan to follow over and over as I set up new blogs. Some of these blogs I post one or two new articles per day, others I am posting four to five new articles per day. It really depends on the niche, how many keywords you want to target, and how much content is available that you can auto post.

When I first stumbled across early versions of these tools a few months ago, to say the least I was very skeptical. So I did a lot of research and was very surprised at how many different tools there were available. And just like any other internet marketing tool you consider, there is a wide range of prices and some products are better than others. The real difference between most tools boil down to the following:

    Content sources options
    Monetization capabilitities
    Keyword and content controls

So the bottom line is, if you struggle to write new content on a consistent basis, you might want to consider a Wordpress automated blog content plugin tool.

Cinema guide and IMDB scraper

It's another project we have done successfully and its more than one year working like a clock (Knocking on wood :)).

This movie lover bot scraps the related information from two websites and sends the structured result to the end user either as xml, xls or database.
How it works:

1- Extracts the cinema guide like movie name, showing time and places from the local cinema website.

2- Then will search in imdb.com for that particular movie and then captures all other details including images. More than that it can continuously update the client website with the latest updated IMDB user rating for a particular movie.
(IMDb is an online-database of information about practically all production films ever produced, including director/writer/cast listings, genre, year, runtime, and of course a plot overview)

3- Preparing the data for the client as xls or database.

Now you got an idea about our custom web scraping, so think a moment intelligently and give us a chance use our capabilities to improve your business. We can collect any data from any website and give you the final structured result after required manipulation.

FREE! PHP IMDb Scraper/API for new IMDb Template

IMDb is undoubtedly the leading information source for media information and is the top target of web scraping for movie lovers around the world. Unfortunately IMDb does not provide an API to access its database so web scraping is the only resort for us. PHP being one of the most commonly used and powerful web development language enables easy web scraping with the power of PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions).

For my recent project on a Movie Catalog (http://movies.abhinayrathore.com), I needed a  IMDb scraper and found one built by Tyler Hall. His version was not robust enough to scrap all kind of movie pages so I extended it and made it more robust to support different type of titles, BUT recently IMDb changed its page template and most of the old scrapers stopped working including mine. So, I modified my scraper to accommodate the new template changes and considered it as my moral responsibility to contribute back to the developer community.

This new scraper is very robust and capable enough to handle a wide variety of new template modifications. Apart from the regular information it even goes deep to scan extra media images and release dates.

ArtPrize's new director: IMDb.com executive with Cannes, Sundance film festival experience

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – An executive at IMDb.com and a past executive at Cannes Film Festival and Sundance Film Festival is the new director of ArtPrize.

Christian Gaines, formerly director of festivals at the American Film Institute and director of the Hawaii International Film Festival, was introduced Monday, April 22, as the new executive director of the urban exhibition and $560,000 competition.

A business development specialist with more than two decades of experience in staff management, fundraising, technology services and programming for major film festivals, Gaines was in Grand Rapids for ArtPrize’s Premiere event and the opening of Artist Registration on Monday.

Gaines, whose first day on the job was Monday, said the links that ArtPrize fosters between artists and audiences was a major attraction for him.

“Just like a film festival, ArtPrize is about audiences and artists and art and connections between them,” he said.

“I think it’s great that it puts artists on a pedestal to do their best work, and it encourages audiences to develop a voice and feel their voice counts and means something,” he said. “All of those things you can find in the film festival world, just like ArtPrize.

Most recently with IMDb.com, which is owned by Amazon.com, Gaines oversaw the global expansion of withoutabox.com, a submissions platform that connects filmmakers to more than 1,000 film festivals worldwide.

His personal interest in both art and technology also led Gaines to ArtPrize, which conducted a national search for a long-term executive director.

“It was exciting to learn more about an organization that’s going places and that’s very unfettered in what it can do and where it can go,” Gaines said. “It was defined by experimentation, so that really excited me.”

In his role as ArtPrize’s fourth executive director, Gaines will oversee all aspects of the annual competition, which opens Sept. 18, 2013.

Gaines also will work to move the nonprofit organization further along the path to self-sustainability, a goal ArtPrize has set its sights on reaching by the end of 2013.

“Christian’s expertise leading major, international festivals as well as working with artists and industry-leading technology services will help ArtPrize develop as a platform for creativity,” said Rick DeVos, founder of ArtPrize and chairman of the board of the nonprofit organization.

Gaines follows interim executive director Daryn Kuipers, who joined the ArtPrize team in July 2012 and supervised the fourth exhibition and competition, which drew an estimated 400,000 visitors to Grand Rapids.

“As we were interviewing people, Christian really came across as a person who’s done multiple things. His prior leadership was key with what we’re looking for,” said Kuipers, formerly financial manager at The Windquest Group, who will remain as a consultant to ArtPrize, transferring day-to-day management responsibilities to Gaines.

ArtPrize has had a revolving door of three executive directors and one interim director at its helm for its first four events. Gaines' predecessor, Catherine Creamer, served as ArtPrize's third executive director for just 15 months before resigning.

Gaines, 48, was born in Belgium to American parents, raised in the United Kingdom, and earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Vassar College.

Gaines, his wife, Kristen, an online retail entrepreneur, and their two teenage children will move to West Michigan this summer.

Rick DeVos, chairman of the board of directors of ArtPrize, explains what the non-profit organization was looking for in its national search for an executive director for ArtPrize.
