Autoblogging
Autoblogging means software picks topics, writes posts and publishes them on a schedule. As of October 29, 2026, most autoblogs fail because they publish without checking facts or the competition, which is why Paperboy checks both before a post goes out.
Five questions to ask any autoblog tool
Paperboy's answers, from how the product works today.
The test is value to readers, not whether a person typed it.
Generative AI “can be particularly useful when researching a topic, and to add structure to original content,” but using it “to generate many pages without adding value for users may violate Google's spam policy on scaled content abuse.”
Scaled content abuse is “many pages” generated “for the primary purpose of manipulating search rankings and not helping users,” and it applies “no matter how it's created.”
What goes wrong
These are our reading of how the tools work, not a measured failure rate. We do not have one, and we will not invent one.
A language model can state a price, a date or a rule that is simply wrong. A tool that publishes straight from the model puts those errors on your site under your name.
Posts built from the same templates on topics a site has no reason to cover read as filler. Google describes scaled content abuse as many pages created mainly to manipulate rankings, however they were made.
Writing a post for a query where the first page is held by sites far bigger than yours spends your effort on a result you are unlikely to get.
Nobody reads the output, nobody notices the claim that went stale, and nothing learns from what Search Console says about the pages.
If a tool cannot hold a weak draft back, every draft ships. A hold queue and approval mode are the difference between a draft and a published mistake.
What you get
None of this promises rankings or traffic. It reduces the odds that you publish something wrong or something you could never win.
Every number in an article must appear in the source it links to, links must point at pages Paperboy actually read, and each cited sentence is compared with the source's own words. See how the fact check works, including what it does not prove.
A failing article gets one rewrite. If it still fails, it is held for your review instead of published.
Before writing a topic it looks at who ranks for it. If more than half of the results come from large, established domains (the Tranco top 100,000 list, or a fixed list of giants), it skips the topic and tries another, and a skipped topic does not use up your weekly articles. The one exception is the free first article, which is written anyway so you see the product. The results come from a web search tool, not Google's own results page, and the check lets a topic through when the search fails (Tranco list).
Approval mode is a setting per site.
It picks topics from what your site already shows up for.
Publishing

“Not listed” means we found no statement either way on the vendor's pages. It does not mean the answer is no. Each tool has its own page: pick a name to see every row, its plans and when to pick it instead.
FAQ
Software that picks topics, writes posts and publishes them to your site on a schedule without you doing each step. The useful ones add checks before anything goes live.
Not by itself. Google's guidance says generative AI can be useful, but using it to generate many pages without adding value for users may violate its spam policy on scaled content abuse.
Nobody can promise that. Rankings depend on the topic, the competition and your site. A fact check and a competition check reduce wasted posts. They do not guarantee traffic.
Yes, after an article passes its fact check, unless you turn on approval mode, which holds each one for your OK. An article that still fails after one rewrite is held for you either way.
