After a not so slight delay and a nice vacation, I’m back at searching the net for content generators and automated page generators. What I have to tell you is that there are more than you can imagine.

I remember about a month ago I came across Niche Portal Builder. I liked the sales copy until I saw the price. Well, it’s $750 bucks. You can buy the directory generator for $400 and the reciprocal mailer for $350 separately too.

If you are going to buy it skip the link mailer. You’ll probably won’t get much links anyway. The important issue though is you will be mailing lots of non-automatically generated sites and letting them know that your site exists. If you read around the big webmaster fora you will see that lots of people really go out of their way to fight these kind of sites. I bet your adsense account won’t last long.

The directory generator doesn’t cut it either in my opinion. There are cheaper alternatives that do the same thing and probably do it better. I haven’t seen anyone saying good things about it either. Here is a quote from the Traffic Equalizer forum:

As mentioned on point 2, if you use a big keyword list (1000-5000 keywords) you will end up with a site that has thousands of links on each and every page and we know that search engine don’t like that. Maybe that’s why that site got banned in three days.

My final verdict is that it is too expensive and doesn’t do anything better than other tools. Sure you might be able to use it with success if you optimize its templates a lot and make small sites but you will be better off with something else.
