PLR and Article Spinning

by skibbz
16 replies
Ok, I was thinking about getting outsourced articles and post them to several article directories.


I am hearing two things

(1)I am not allowed to use PLR articles to post to article directories , i have to write it over in my own version before it gets approved.(It would have been better to write the articles from scratch all by myself)

(2)article spinning has its downside and many people are drifting away from it because of credibility issues.

ok so whats the solution for someone who wants hundreds or thousands of outsourced articles in over 40 niches to be used as his own on top article directories pointing back to his site?

(lets say i dont have knowledge of all the niches i require and i dont have all the time to do all the articles myself)

    Sounds like "good outsourcing or good staff writers" is your only alternative.

    This clearly depends on two things (both of which will vary):-

    (i) The rights which you bought with the PLR, and ...

    (ii) The terms of service of the sites to which you submit.

    Regardless of the two considerations mentioned above, it's very hard to imagine that there could be any upside to speak of in not doing that, isn't it?

    Of this there's no possible doubt.

    The more contentious, more discussable issue is perhaps whether it has any upside. There are, however, apparently, still people who maintain that it does. (It doesn't for me). "Go figure".

      This basically answers the question, thanks alexa.

      Does that mean I have to give back the 1000 page one rankings we grabbed last year for Warriors? Because the number one way we did it was by spinning plr articles. Looking forward to your reply. Because I was really thinking the page ranks were legit. Now after reading what you had to say on the subject I guess they are not. :rolleyes:

        Matt, you're not going to get a reply, so don't waste your time.

        And, yes, you have to give all of those page one rankings back.

        There are hundreds of article directories. (Actually thousands). This isn't a question which anyone can answer reliably for you, and even if they claim to, you should verify their "information" for yourself. Never post on other people's sites without reading their terms of service yourself. Sorry, but it really is as simple as that! I can tell you not to use PLR (or indeed mention it) at EZA, if that's a start for you. And I strongly suspect that that will be the case at any article directory that's actually worth using. But I may turn out to be wrong about that, which is why you have to check for yourself!

        article spinning seems to be such a touchy topic.
        I have yet to find someone with real proof of success in it, all i have hearing thus far is hype

          There may be reasons for that.

            It looks good in theory but when you put the pedal to the medal whats the real outcome?

          We had success with article spinning for our clients. But we did not use PLR as a base/seed article, we wrote our own article, spun it 1500 times (yes we did) and submitted to various places, we only targeted 1 keyword and 1 domain per process, the results were indeed "awesome"

          In short do not use PLR as your base and stay away from cheap spinning software, because everybody is using it, output is surely going to be ehm ehm

      If you outsource your articles you should have no problems submitting them to article directories so long as the writer you outsource to doesn't just hand you back a bunch of PLRs that he/she has stacked somewhere.

      Assuming an article is original (and readable) you should have no issues submitting them to pretty much any top article directory you desire. Some may be slightly iffy about it if you've already submitted the same article to hundreds of other directories too - but that should be the limit of your worries.

      Seeing as it looks like mass quantities of backlinks are your only goal, your best option is probably to look for a writer (or writers) to churn out large quantities of articles in the 250-300 word range (which is the minimum for most directories).

      -Vish.

      p.s. Can't believe I made it through that entire post without a word of shameless self promotion.

    I thought the whole point of the article spinning was to get approved :S

    But thanks for this info.

      That's a totally nonsensical myth propagated by (a) people selling spinning software, and (b) people who don't understand the difference between "duplicate content" and "syndicated content". :p :rolleyes:

        Its actually safer to do blog posts than to have many spun articles all over the place

          I completely agree. Much better. And the backlink you can get from one decent comment on a context-relevant blog will give you more link-juice than the backlinks on thousands of non-context-relevant, PR-0 article directory pages. Literally thousands to tens-of-thousands, not just hundreds. It's no mystery, and it's even readily verifiable, but many people simply don't appreciate this (or don't want to).
