CyberSEO Lite (former CyberSyn) is a simplified version of CyberSEO Pro – the most advanced but easy-to-use auto-blogging and content curation plugin for WordPress. CyberSEO Lite is a powerful RSS aggregator which is intended to import RSS feeds and automatically generate WordPress posts for your website. The plugin is equipped with unique and very powerful software tools that you may find in premium solutions only.

At the current moment, CyberSEO Lite is the only open-source freeware RSS aggregation plugin which is able to extract full-text articles from shortened RSS feeds, translate the articles from/to over 100 languages with Google Translate and Yandex Translate services, spin it with 3rd-party content spinners* and more. All these features are 100% free and available right after activation of the plugin. No catches, no hidden fees, no limitations!

* Important notice regarding 3rd-party content spinners

In accordance with the WordPress policy, the content spinning scripts can not be hosted at wordpress.org. Thus you have to manually download the spinners.zip archive from this page, unpack it and upload the contained spinners.php file into the /wp-content/plugins/cybersyn folder of your site.

Don’t worry, it’s a freeware GPL script, so it’s not a premium (paid) module. Just download it, unpack and upload it into the same folder at your site where cybersyn.php is located, and the content spinning feature will become instantly available.

Features:

  • Generate WordPress posts from Atom/RSS feeds and run your site on autopilot.
  • Spin post content with WordAI, SpinnerChief, SpinRewriter and TBS 3rd-party services*.
  • Use the Full Text RSS extractor to import full-text articles from shortened RSS feeds. This feature is based on freeware GPL library by fivefilters.org. This built-in feature works right out of the box. No 3rd-party services or paid API keys.
  • Assign a WPML language code to generated posts.
  • Embed media attachments (images and videos) into the posts.
  • Embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, IGN, Ustream.tv and DailyMotion RSS feeds. Just enable the “Embed videos” option and the plugin will embed videos with descriptions directly into your posts.
  • Generate featured images (post thumbnails) from post images or media attachments.
  • Hotlink post images or upload them to your host.
  • Translate the syndicated articles from and to more than 100 languages via free Yandex Translate and premium Google Translate services.
  • Advanced RSS/Atom parsing algorithm has the ability to pull the feeds fully automatically. Furthermore, you can assign the updating period to each particular feed. Also you can set up a maximum number of posts that will be syndicated at once. This is a very useful feature for SEO of your blogs.
  • Adjustable post duplicate check by GUID, post title or both.
  • Import articles as drafts or publish them immediately.
  • Automatically assign post categories and tags.
  • Attribute generated posts to selected authors.
  • Shorten post excerpts by a given length.
  • Add a user-defined HTML code (custom footers) to every syndicated post.
  • Convert character encoding if the source feed has a non UTF-8 one. E.g. KOI8-R, KOI8-U, Windows-1251, Windows-1256, Windows-1255 etc. Thus the plugin is compatible with all existing national character encoding systems.
  • The plugin can be scheduled by a server-side cron and by WordPress pseudo-cron.
