Months ago, I was like many other people here - scared to death of Duplicate content and all the other "no nos" that everyone was talking about. So, I was publishing all of my content to EZA and was happy with the results, because I was getting paid
![]() After reading some stuff here about the duplicate content issue, I set up 2 Wordpress blogs on 2 different niches that I had a ass ton of content published to EZA on. I set the blogs up with a substantial ping list and started adding the content to the blogs at a clip of about 3 pages a day, which were automatically pinged, etc. I set up my RSS feed and submitted it to feedagg and a couple others. Before I knew it I started getting traffic to my blogs based on the same exact content that had been published at EZA for over 6 months. Currently, we are getting almost 100 visitors a day to each blog and in just over 6 weeks $628.94 was been made off of content that I thought was dead. I want to make it clear, I did not spin/alter the content at all. Just posted it and then left it alone with the exception of the RSS feed. I'm now ranking fairly well for several keywords and I can't see the traffic or ranking really going anywhere as I have other old content to post as well

Good stuff Jeremy!
Are you using the same pen name on your blog and EZA? Is your about me page with the same name? That might help Google to figure out that this is the same person posting the content. I'm just trying to figure out why Google hasn't penalized your blog. Ebbi |

From the way everything is playing out, it appears that you only get penalized if you like content to the same content, if that makes sense?
No, I'm not using the same pen name, but my rankings continue to increase and the number of visitors I get is increasing as well. The moral of the story here is, use your content as many ways as possible ![]() The thing is, even if they did penalize my blog, it would not have made a difference to me really. It was just an "experiment" that went right. Quote:

This is exactly what I'm finding out...with the amount of content that I have out there that I can "repurpose" I have a feeling that the next couple of months are going to be fantastic!

I tried a similar experiment a while back but it was on a regular site and not a blog. I loaded it up with old content, lots of pages, and only a few pages of new. I spent very little time setting it up, just an afternoon, and that site brings in quite a lot of traffic now.

Try doing the same thing now on a blog with posts that are pinged and RSS.

Usually I'm pretty transparent with this kind of stuff, but this time I would rather not say lol
I've given away a couple of my niches over the past 30 days to a couple hundred people and working harder than ever to stay ahead ![]() |

Hey Jeremy,
Wonder if you were referring to my post where I created 10 identical weight loss blogs to test out the dupe content theory? Yep, you guessed it, no penalty I could see. That's why I'm spitting out blog after blog in my best niches. OOPS, let one out of the bag... TomG. |

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for sharing your experience. Lots of people in this forum seem to have made money using wordpress blogs. This is something that i should look into and try out. You might want to look at SEO Press by Brian Johnson. It is about using wordpress for traffic and a lot of people have said many good things about it. All the best Nikhil |

628$ is fairly huge sum of money,and you said that you received 100 visitors/day,you add positioning must be tremendous to make that kind of money with that kind of traffic.

Not really if you think about it. The product that I'm promoting on the site converts at about 1:40 on a good day and 1:60 ON A bad day. Figure in the average of a $30 sale and the math makes sense

I've been saying this for so long now.Post valuable content to blogs first.
I would love to see Steven W post all his articles to some blogs with proper set-up and watch the results from that.... |

Kind of makes one wonder...
What about using nothing but others' content from EZA (leaving the bios intact)? Would the traffic leak from the bios be significant? I guess that just depends on the offer. Might just have to play with this. |

Hey Jeremy. Really good post.
So are you buying new domains and posting all this on a wordpress blog or are you using a blog site like blogger for it without your own domain? |

Affiliate sales is the way I went. Although, I may set another one up in a different niche and try adsense...set another one up and try CPA...set another one up and try a combo of affiliate and CPA. Who knows maybe one of them will be a home run

I put this first one on my own domain, but I'm thinking of testing this on sites like blogger. As a matter of fact, I think I am going to grab someone from a freelance site and have that done today

Jeremy, that is so funny because I FINALLY started doing the same thing
with one of my blogs. I don't know why I waited so long to put those articles that I had written up on it (stupid, stupid, stupid) Yesterday, I can't believe how many visitors I had...and in a freaking oversaturated niche no less. I was told a long time ago to build my own VRE and I never listened. What was that S word again? Never again. I've learned my lesson. |

When you say proper setup u mean ping and rss? I'm assuming here that you promote your rss rather well?

Do you put any name at all after the articles (you said you don't use pen name from eza)? Or do you just post them as-is and link to affil product? Deb |

I just post as is without the resource box, because these are my own articles.....
I don't leave the links in tact for 2 reasons. 1. I don't want to add another step for the visitor to make a purchase 2. I don't want to bleed any juice from my page If you were going to use someone elses articles you would have to include the resource box, of course. However, I'm going to have a look at a couple of plugins that pull youtube videos and other content from different places on the web to add to my own content and see where it goes ![]() |

Jeremy,
Thanks this is a great idea. I have a lot of articles collecting dust at eza. Some do well in search engines and some die out totally so hopefully this will revive the dead ones, especially since I can theme them better via a blog. Also your bootcamp ideas with rss will come in handy. Debbie |

I believe this was also tested and proven in another thread. Simply go by this rule of thumb, don't believe in a any of the "no nos" until you have proven them to be a "no no" yourself. Nice results Jeremy and good job on dispelling the myth. | |

Yeah, I remember TomG had a thread about this, I never say the "outcome" though.
I'm setting a couple of other sites up today and tomorrow and will report whether or not I have similar results or not with the new sites. Quote:

I can easily find many copies of the same article in Google- if they were being penalized, why are so many ranking highly? Not that it really matters, but was that income from affiliate commissions, ad clicks, your products, or all the above? | |

The income was strictly from affiliate sales and was amassed over about a month long period so, definitely not a bank buster, but it is another source of income that is coming in.

Hey Jeremy, are you linking these directly to the clickbank sales page or to your main website?
And how are you scheduling the posts? One a day? |

I think that's a pretty good amount of income for the amount of time spent- it will be interesting to see how much that blog makes over 6-12 months and how the earnings per day or week change over time.
