CSV feeds are a blog builders dream, imagine thousands of rows of content from every niche you can imagine just waiting to be imported and monetised on your blogs.

Here are the basic steps:

• Download a CSV affiliate data feed from CJ, Buy.at, Sharesale etc.
• Upload the CSV file using CSVPiG
• Schedule the number of new posts you would like auto-posted per day
• Map the CSV column headers to the WordPress content elements such as title, post, categories, tags
• Publish the CSV file with one click

CSVPiG Pro is available as an instant download from the BlogPiG.com Members’ area. Here’s what is included:

CSVPiG is available in 2 versions – Free & Pro. The Free version is okay for small projects or just dumping CSV files into a WordPress blog. For serious power users we highly recommend CSVPiG Pro so you can really take full advantage of every advanced feature e.g. scheduling, mapping, ftp upload & cloning etc.

The CommentPiG launch is going extremely well this week, I’ve had some repeated pre-sales questions come through so I’ve posted the answers here for everyone to see:

I’m interested in buying commentpig but I’d like to try it for a few days. Is it possible?

We can’t issue a trial license at the moment. We do of course offer a full no questions asked money back gaurantee for 30 days after purchase which is much better than trialling it for a couple of days.

Where do the comments come from?

The comments come from a variety of sources. When running in full auto-pilot uses your selected matching criteria (probably a tag from your post) to find comments from:

• YouTube – videos that are tagged with the keyword
• Twitter – using your keyword to search for tweets
• FriendFeed – using your keyword to search for comments
• Yahoo Answers – using your keyword to search for questions and using answers as comment
• Own Comments – you can harvest comments from any source and clean them yourself before uploading as DB to CommentPiG, this is the most powerful way to use CommentPiG

Do you happen to have a demo blog to see this working?

Not currently only live sites that I’m not keen to expose, I’ll put up a demo site asap and post the link.

Can I install the plugin on several my blogs?

Yes you can install CommentPiG on as many sites as you own.

Do you guys do installations?

Not officially, i.e. we don’t have installs on the price list but we’re more than happy to help out if you have any problems. Installing CommentPiG really should be as quick as uploading and activating and WordPress plugin. The only that occasionaly requires a little extra work is the ioncube loaders as about 1/10 hosts don’t run them by default. Most will add them if requested.

You can read all about CommentPiG here

Just click the support tab at the top of the page if you have any more questions.

We’ve just launched CommentPiG Pro our comment simulator plugin for WordPress. With CommentPiG Pro installed you can take your autoblogging to a new level and turn any blog into a hive of user generated content.

What does it do?

CommentPiG harvest relevant comments from around the web and adds them to your posts. Comments add relevance, confidence & keywords to your posts.

What’s the point?

One of the biggest footprints for any autoblog is the lack of any comments! All ‘real’ blogs have plenty of comments, autoblogs don’t. CommentPiG solves this by adding relevant comments to your blog posts.

What else does it do?

Glad you asked. CommentPiG can also your hide autoblog network links within comments and mix in random authority links to place your blog smack bang in the middle of a on-topic link neighbourhood.

Does it only work with new posts?

No. CommentPiG adds comments to all of your blog’s posts, new an old. In this way you can ensure that new posts get indexed quickly whilst archived posts have their content refreshed and get re-indexed regularly. You maintain complete control over which posts have comments added and how often.

How much work is involved?

CommentPiG takes about 5 minutes to install and setup after that it runs completely automatically for as long as your blog is live. You can add 1 comment per day per day or 100, it’s your call.

Where can I find out more?

Just head on over to the dedicated CommentPiG page find out more and download CommentPiG Pro today.

We’ve just released a new update of CSVPiG to the WordPress Plugin Repository. This is Version 2.0.0.796

The key changes are listed below:

• Removed the ‘Disable Post Publishing’ check box
• Added a ‘Post Status’ drop-down box with the following options: Published, Pending Review, Draft and None
• Adjusted the initial settings file and some log messages

So now you can choose whether to import you posts as live posts or keep them as drafts for publishing later.

Just a quick update about a new feature that is available in CSVPiG our Worpress CSV Import Plugin.

You can now enter multiple categories into the ‘category’ field of your import CSV file e.g.:

• Entering ‘products,wordpress plugins,csvpig’ into the category field would result in the post appearing in 3 categories
• Entering just ‘csvpig’ into the category field would result in the post appearing in just the child category

You don’t need to update your CSVPiG if you’ve already done it recently as this feature is already built in, we just forgot to document it! I’ll be adding it to user guide shortly.

If you don’t already have CSVPiG you can download it here:

The next plugin to go GPL is CSVPiG, our WordPress Mass CVS Import tool.

CSVPiG is a bulk import plugin for WordPress.

CSVPiG has been designed to allow fast and flexible import of multiple posts from a CSV file directly into your blog. You can either upload a CSV file using the UI on the admin page, or you can process an already uploaded file on the server. You can even process multiple uploaded files sequentially.

Due to popular demand I have decided to start releasing a selection of the BlogPiG plugins under GPL license. The first to be launched is TagPiG our WordPress AutoTagger.

TagPiG is an auto-tagging plugin for WordPress. TagPiG has been designed to overcome the manual bottle-neck by completely automating your tagging process. Here are some of the key features of TagPiG:

• Automatic post categorisation
• Automatic tag publishing
• Automatic tag filtering
• Automatic internal linking of common tags
• Automatic tag rotation

TagPig is simple to install and setup on your WordPress blogs. Once the plugin is activated it will run in the background, silently categorising, tagging and linking your blog posts automatically. With TagPiG installed you get all the great benefits of tagging without any of the additional manual overheads.

You can get an immense amount of benefit from correctly tagging all of your blog posts. Tags not only help you organize large quantities of content, but they also help define your site as a whole. If you post good content and you consistently tag every post you make with maybe 5-10 relevant keywords then, over time, your blog will become a very valuable resource to people interested in those keywords. They can actually come to your blog and get better, more reliable, less spammy, more focused search results than by doing a Google search! While this all sounds very desirable in theory the extremely manual nature of categorising and tagging blog posts has been a major bottle-neck for webmasters who build a lot of blogs and/or post to them frequently.

By Using TagPiG to automate your tagging will:

• Deliver additional keyword density into your blog posts
• Expand the keyword reach of new blog posts
• Get traffic boosts from Technorati and other tag aggregators
• Thematically organise your blog posts
• Provide an intelligent internal linking structure for your blog

TagPig has a comprehensive pdf user manual detailing every aspect of it’s setup, configuration and installation.

You can download TagPiG immediately here…

“Find me a blog that isn’t using tags and I’ll show you an autoblog.”

Tagging is a superb way of theming your blog posts to allow readers and search engines a quick easy way to categorise your content. Until now tags have generally been beyond the reach of the autoblogger simply because categorising your posts takes time.

Imagine adding 10 posts per day across 100 blogs and then having to add 10 tags per post by hand. That’s 10,000 tags! It’s not going to happen!

Because of the manual nature of tagging you won’t normally see tags on any autoblogs. I’d hazard a guess that this obvious difference provides a simple way for search engines to identify and discount autoblog rankings.

TagPiG closes this gap by giving autobloggers a complete auto-tagging solution for their blogs. Simply activate the plugin and you’re ready to go, every new post to your blog will be analysed and tagged with 100% accurate, on-target keywords.

TagPiG is currently available completely free grab it now…

As promised here is the first free plugin from BlogPiG. It’s called NukePiG and even though it’s incredibly simply it has proved an invaluable tool to me over the year whilst building my BlogPIG farms.

We all make mistakes, especially when using mass automation apps like the BlogPiG suite of passive income generation tools. Imagine importing over 3000 schedule posts only to find out that you’ve a typo in every affiliate URL. Even with WordPress 2.5’s new bulk deletion feature you could only delete 10 posts at a time, that’s a lot of clicks!

NukePiG allows you one-click deletion of all your blog posts, pages, tags, categories or links, no messing around in the database, just select what you want to reset and hit NUKE! Within seconds you can reset an entire blog or simply just certain content elements, it’s your call.

You can download NukePiG from here: NukePiG

Within the next few days I’ll be releasing the very first module from the BlogPig suite of products and the best part is it’s going to be completely FREE!

NukePiG has proved to be an invaluable tool for me whilst creating my BlogPiG farms. In a nutshell it allows you to selectively nuke(delete) all of your posts, pages, tags, categories, links from your blog, leaving you with a nice fresh, clean, empty blog.

It’s not uncommon to make the odd mistake when your’e creating thousands of scheduled content items for your blog, especially in the early days whilst you’re getting the hang of things. One wrong column header in the CSV you import with ImportPiG or a small typo in your seed keyword used by ContentPiG and suddenly your blog has thousands of incorrect posts and maybe even tens of thousands of tags if your’e using TagPiG. Deleting these with the native WordPress interface is a real bind as it only allows you to display 20 items per page, even with the new bulk delete feature of 2.5 you can only delete what you can see listed so it still requires thousands of clicks to empty your pre-populated blog.

The only way to achieve a bulk delete until now was to go into the database itself and manually truncate the tables directly using SQL, not exactly a slick workaround. 

Enter Nuke PiG. Simply check the boxes for the content items you want deleted from:

• Posts
• Pages
• Tags
• Categories
• Links

Then hit the NUKE button and within a couple of seconds your blog is ready to go again with a fresh batch of content items. Here’s a preview of the simple UI:

NukePiG is ready to go, but I’m just finishing testing it with the lastest WordPress version and then it will be available for download from here & the WordPress.com plugin directory.
