What Do You Look For in PLR?

When you are on the market for PLR, what do you want?

I know there are going to be some differences on what rights they want or don't want and as interested as I am in finding that out, there are some other things that I want to know about.

Do you want them full of keywords or do you want to put your own keywords in when you re-write them (you do re-write them, don't you?).

How about the title, does it matter? If it's something that you are going to be submitting to article directories you want it to look different than everyone else who is going to be posting it there.

What are some of the other things that you look for?

    I thought this would be more of an interesting topic.

      Maybe wait more than 6 minutes before you bump your own thread next time.

      When I buy PLR articles (not too often), I don't pay much attention to keyword density, titles, etc. because I'm going to make a derivative work that will be made into a short report, video series, etc. I'm not submitting PLR to article directories. Hope that helps.

    Why is it people get hung up about keywords when they write PLR? Do all the buyers use them for the same keywords?

    Why not write with the reader in mind, it's what makes the difference.

    This is why I get paid lots more for my writing than those who only write keyword, list type articles.

    I think that quality is the biggest factor. If it is well written then it is going to be desirable. Also if it can be limited somewhat that is appealing too.

      This makes sense. It also makes writing a lot easier and more free. The worst (read 'toughest') thing about ghostwriting is having to incorporate the keywords in. It makes writing a lot more awkward and really limits what you can do.

      I saw a couple sites that do PLR work who talked about how much better they were because they were keyword rich. Without doing a whole lot of research into it, I was under the impression that the use of kkeywords would be as desirable as it is in writing exclusive rights articles.

    The only thing I care about with PLR is the quality of the text itself-- quality of research and quality of writing. I use PLR as a springboard my own ideas for articles and when the PLR barely makes sense or just rambles on without making any useful points, I can't use it.

    I do not care one iota about titles or keywords, I like to use my own and think every other IMer should probably be doing the same.

    I rarely buy PLR any more. However, when I do, my main selling point is good research and good articles (like fitz10 said above). I like to see a handful of solid tips in the article and/or a step-by-step process.

    Also, I like to see articles that the end-users WANT, not just articles that the writer felt like writing. That means the seller should have done a bit o' market research first.

    Cheers,
    Becky

    In fact, I advise my customers that they could change the keyword (in the title or the body itself) to something slightly different that still has the same meaning.

    I also don't keyword stuff to a specific density because Google uses LSI. Keyword density is so 3/4 years ago. Different niches have different keyword densities. If you write naturally, you will emerge with the most natural kw density anyway.

    Writing naturally and to a high standard of quality is the main goal. The wise users of PLR known this, as do the wise sellers

    There will always be those who want to buy 10,000 7th generation MRR articles for a buck. I doubt the majority of them put these to any good use.
    I agree about LSI and I always use that when I write but I also usually have people wanting a certain keyword density when I do exclusive rights work. I do my best to keep it to that density but I also try to be sensitive of natural language processing when I write.

    Even just keeping to a 1.5-2% keyword density (which most of my clients prefer) it still seems forced. As good of a job as I might do with it, I still feel uncomfortable with the results and don't feel it's totally up to my standards as far as overall quality is concerned.

    Thanks to everyone who has thrown in their two cents. It's been really helpful.
