There seems to be some confusion as to exactly what Article Stalker is and what it is to be used for. In brief, Article Stalker is a script that goes to some article directories which allow you to grab their aritcles and AS places them on your server in a database. You can collect articles by category and subcategory and grown your database of articles slowly over time.
Next you use an autoblogging wordpress plugin like Slick WP Autoposter to put the articles on your blog. There are a handful of autoposting wordpress plugins around but in my opinion Slick WP Autposter is perfect for working with ARticle Stalker...... plus Ed is the creator of both and any future upgrades will be done to compliment each other. You won't find a software provider with better service than Ed.... another reason to stick with Slick WP Autoposter and Article Stalker.
Someone recently had a question wondering about the difference between Article Stalker and Automatic Blog Plugin ....really not a very appropiate question because one is just a script for grabbing articles and the other is a wordpress plugin for autoposting or autoblogging...... anyway, Ed answers the question below.
Hi Ed, how is Article Stalker different from the Automatic Blog Plugin? To me it seems the're doing the same thingEd Answers:
Yes and No - Mostly No
Article Stalker first is not a plugin, so you can use any RSS poster you already own to autopost the articles.
Article Stalker has access to many more directories to pull articles from, presently over 2 million articles reside on the directories on version one.
The update will have another million articles available with more to be added.
One of the major flaws that has been pointed out by owners of Automatic Blog Plugin is lack of articles this will not happen with Article Stalker.
So even though they appear similar Article Stalker is a content gatherer on steroids.
I hope this clears the difference.
