Automated blogs are used by people who want to make huge profits without having the need to write formidable and useful information by themselves. However, these plugins are designed specifically to search the internet databases and find contents for the development of the blog which is bound to be formatted before being put in the blog. As a result, they tend to scrap information from various sites across the internet and put it together as a big content filled with rich keyword density making it look like a worthy content. Because of the rich keyword density they are eventually ranked higher. However, in the process the content loses its ethnicity.
Most times these contents become copied contents and since they are scrapped from different sites and put together they lose the syntax and grammatical requirements of contents. Sometimes the created content makes no sense at all in terms of providing information but they are filled with rich keywords making them rank higher. You risk every chance of portraying an image of a scrapper site who copies valid details and information from other sites. And when you rank higher than the websites that contains the original contents, it becomes unethical for them and you are bound to face legal aspects. Also if you are found to portray an image of a scrapper site, you will be banned eventually by popular search engines.
These plugins also steals RSS feeds from various sites pertaining to different keywords employed for that particular blog. As a result the owner of the other sites feel cheated when this particular blog creates automated entries and ranks higher than them in search engines because of the high keyword density. RSS feeds are used for publishing various updates such as blog entries, news headlines, audio and video in standardized formats etc. Various website owners put in a lot of effort and engage in search engine optimizations to develop their site and over experience have gained good traffic for their sites. These Feeds promotes their updating details every now and then making their regular visitors take a look into what they have created. These blogs when they steal those RSS feeds as contents for their sites and format them, it automatically becomes duplicate contents and when they rank higher when compared to the original owners of the site, they believe they are being cheated and you could legally prosecuted by all means.
Thirdly, these automated blog owners make use of automated tools and programs to create their entries. All they do is feed a set of keywords to the program as input and it generates a content rich in keywords for their blogs. Half the time these contents contain several grammatical and semantic issues and thus they provide no useful information at all. But because of the rich keyword density, they are ranked higher and they tend to derive more traffic for the particular blog. They also make use of automated tools to post several comments for their blogs using duplicate and dynamic addresses and thus making the blog look more legitimate and popular. They derive traffic by those unethical means as well.
Several genuine website owners, SEO firms and other web developing companies are seriously bothered by the way these auto blogs are functioning. After all the efforts they have taken working upon development of good contents and using SEO strategies in a ethical manner, their work is being stolen by these automated software's and plugins for the development of another blog. And because of the rich keyword density when they are ranked higher than them and when these sites appear on top of them in search results, they feel cheated and disgraced.
Search engine algorithms lack human rationalities. They tend to rank a particular site based on more than 200 factors and sometimes there are instances when it decides to rank a blog higher that has a duplicate content when compared to another site that premieres the original content. People have shut down their blogs owing to legal aspects and threats from various site owners. Auto blogs are certainly vulnerable to legal actions on the long run when you are not respecting copyrights of other websites. It is a very delicate balance between having a good automated blog and appearing like a scrapper website. Many genuine website owners, SEO firms and other web developing companies are seriously affected in terms of business by these automated blogging sites and they look towards every avenue to take them down using legal measures.
Thus it is very important that you manage your blog pretty well and maintain that delicate balance. You have to properly format the contents before posting it on your blogs to avoid duplicity.

But it has to be practiced with caution at all times. Though you might not have the time or abilities to come up with contents for your site, you at least have to respect the copyrights of other websites and do some background works before you post the automated contents in your blog. Frankly no webmaster or blog owner wants to be put through legal issues while they think they are doing great work for the development of their blogs and there are no copyright issues. But you should know that when you are using automated blogging systems, it is not beyond possibilities for such things to happen and thus you have to take every precautionary step to avoid such issues and run a successful blog that doesn't create hindrances for other websites as well.
