Caffeinated Content Plugin Review: Automated Content for WordPress
Friday
Jun 12, 2009
If you are looking for an all inclusive WordPress Plugin for automatically posting content to your WordPress Blog, then Caffeinated Content might be the Plugin for you.
While their are a lot of other WordPress Plugins on the market which auto blog content into WordPress Blogs, Caffeinated Content is a step ahead in the feature department. The Plugin’s website is terrible and not very organized, but the functionality of this Plugin cannot be denied.
Caffeinated Content will automatically post content to whatever categories you choose from the following sources: YouTube, Yahoo Answers, and ArticlesBase. It will take these sources and integrate them into posts, giving you either one or all. Imagine an article post with a video added, and associated images, plus Questions and Answers on the topic resulting in a fully filled comments section. All can be dated or back dated to make your blog look like it has been running for a long time and new content can be added regularly.
Here is a snapshot of the Plugin Interface:
As you can see, it has quite a few options for importing content into your blog, making your auto blog process even that much easier. The Plugin also has many Templating features which allows you to manage how this content is displayed on your blog. plus, it also has a content rewrite feature which will automatically spin article content to make it look more unique for the Search Engines.
There are several WordPress Plugins which I will be reviewing here in the next few days which provide even more functionality in some areas than this one, but for a single product at $77, you cannot and will not find a better auto blog/ post solution than Caffeinated Content.

Hi Mike, I really like your blog. I've learnt a lot about making money online from reading it. I have a question I really hope you will help me with. I'm debating if to purchase the rsstoblog and the mass installer product, but it is extremely pricey. Michelle is selling the first for $297.00usd and the MI for $197.00usd. Converted to CAD funds, this will be $570.00 for me. So far, I haven't been successful in making any money online, but I would like to start a blog farm to see if this will bring me success. I debated about the Blog Solution software, but decided against it because it seems to be more technically difficult and I'm still fairly new with the technical aspects.
Are you able to recommend any other blog farm generators besides the two above?
I'm looking to build monetized blogs and also blogs that point to my money sites, for link building. I would also like to work with both wordpress blogs and blogger blogs.
Looking forward to your response.

Mike, I would like to let you know that I purchased CC based on your review above (I read your blog regularly) on July 18.
There is no support for this product. I've been begging Kansieo to provide assistance on my issue with this product and I have had no response. Just dead silence. I realize it is only 3 days from date of purchase, but I asked him to at least respond to me that he is looking into it. I would have been happy with that, but nothing. I've since asked for a refund, and again no response whatsover.
I have tried this product on HostMonster and Go Daddy and the errors I'm getting are as follows:.
1. Hostmonster – I get a warning message when I run the plug for content: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home4/xxxxxxxx/public_html/xxxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/CaffeinatedContent/functions.inc.php(2) : eval()'d code on line 1. At this point, the screen hangs. When I check history, it looks like data has been pulled, but when I check the site, there is nothing posted (nor is the category there that I set up to post in before hand).
2. Go Daddy: When I run the plugin for content, it seems to go fine with no error message, then after a while, i get a plain white screen which seems to be that it has completed. Assuming it has completed, I check the site, but there is no information pulled (nor is the category there that I set up to post in before hand), also I check the history and there is nothing recorded.
The problem is not the keyword. I tried different keywords and I checked Yahoo Answers if there is data and there is. Also, I tried to pull articles, thinking the problem may lie with Yahoo Answer, but again the results were the same.
For me, the plugin does not seem to work, and because there is no support, I feel I have wasted my money. This guy talks about having a child with Down's Syndrome on the main page and post of his website and a % of the proceeds from his CC product will go towards DS, but whether that is true or not, or simply a ruse to gain sympathy and have us more malleable towards buying his product, I don't know. In these hard times where people are trying to make ends meet, it is sad that there are people who sell crap stuff and are without conscience.
My advise to people, only purchase a product where there is a money back guarantee written on the website itself. You will be taken in.
I am very disappointed. I was really excited about this product and it's purported capabilities.
I guess I will have to kiss my money goodbye. Don't know what else I can do.
Mike you are free to not post this comment. That is your choice, but I would like people to know to be careful about purchasing products out there.
Thank you.

Just an update to my earlier post complaining about CC and the lack of support.
Please note I have received the support I needed and the product works great. The problem wasn't the software, but my lack of knowledge on how to use it and wordpress. It is actually a great product.
Sorry for the complaint. I love the product.

The great thing is that you came back and updated your comment. Most people wouldn’t take the time or admit that they were wrong. I agree with you, this is a great Plugin, but there are others which might cost a little more, but will give you even more functionality. For the price, CC is the best thing going though.
Thanks.

Jenna, sorry to get back to you on this so late but I was on vacation.
I would recommend going with the WordPress Auto Installer and WP Cloner. The combination will allow you to create an unlimited number of Blogs, then clone your Auto Blog settings to all of them. I am actually working on an ebook and video which shows how to do this, but I haven’t finished it yet. It will be done in a few weeks.
For a beginner, I wouldn’t recommend buying the RSS to Blog products until you were more experienced. They are great, but if you might find them hard to understand if you are just starting out. Check out the Caffeinated Content Review I have here on the blog and you put the 3 products together and you will have yourself a very nice blog farm. You can scale back and do it all for Free minus the Caffeinated Content Plugin cost if you do your blogs by hand with cPanel and an FTP program.

i want to know if there's a way i can set my wordpress to auto mode which will post news articles?
Mike Johnson

There is no auto mode, that is why, if you click on the “Auto Blog” Tag in the bottom Sidebar, you will find articles which describe WordPress plugins that do what you are looking for.

Which one is better Autoblogged or Caffeinated Content?
I was just asked this and I have to say that both are great, but are totally different. in fact, I would recommend both. Caffeinated Content pulls content from several sources, but not RSS Feeds specifically. Autoblogged on the other hand is strictly an RSS tool which allows you to pull content from any number of RSS sources. Using both together will give you one heck of a one/ two punch when it comes to creating an effective auto blog.

I found the same thing with CC. I looked around after NOT getting any support at all. Found out that on the Warrior Forum, the same erroer message you and I were getting we the same ones folks were complaining about back in january 09. The results were there wasn't an answer. I waited over 5 day befoer gettiong a response from him and only had to wait like 3 minutes for him to issue me a refund. Kind of weird of you ask me.
Anyone reading my advise it to NOT buy CC I will not even mention their name because it will help them in the Serps

Joe,
I ask you to take a look at the comment below from Unhappy. But, I agree on the level of support for the product. The problem is, when you talk about autoblogging, big name companies are not creating products for it, so what you get is someone like you or I creating something and making it work. I am testing another just released product that is quite similar to CC right now and my review on it will be posted here on the blog shortly.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am having big issues with CC and also not getting any support. I have emailed directly and also logged a support ticket via his support portal. The issue I have is getting some type of 'Snoopy' error when trying to add articles from Yahoo. Articles/Youtube videos do work. Also, the comment function doesn't seem to work reliably.
I have search all over and found many people getting this error and have not been able to uncover how to solve it. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

He isn't very good at support, that is why he isn't making as many sales as he could. He isn't keping up with the current rush in WordPress Upgrades. That is why I am pushing people towards WP Robot. (see my new review here: http://www.blackhatsoftware.net/make_money/wp-r...)
Keep trying to get him to help as CC is awesome, but if you have already wasted too much time, get a refund and move on with WP Robot instead.

Do not get this plugin, if you require help with problems or errors, you will not get any help from the creator. I contacted him 10-20 different times with no response.
I bought it, I've had it for 2 month, still doesn't work, PayPal won't refund my money because PayPal's policy states you cannot dispute Item quality.
Word of warning, do not buy this product.

coolflow is absolutely right, but there are 2 different people who picked up this plugin and are now making it work. Both guys are selling their improved versions in the Warrior Forum Warrior Special Offers section.
Thanks coolflow.
