Article marketing PLR and Duplicate Content

8 replies
Hello All,

I am new to article marketing and saw a PLR offer that would be very good for one of my clients. They had a bunch of great articles for a very low price. It looked like quite a few people took advantage of the offer.

So my question is how does that work when a bunch of people are submitting the same articles? Do you have to change them up before you submit them or what is the low down on this?

    It's very important to change PLR articles before you use them...especially in article directories. If your client would get something from the PLR articles, then go ahead and get them. But they need to be changed significantly to be used in directories. They can be used on their site as is or they can be adapted to be used in an e-mail marketing campaign.

    My easy quick guide to rewriting PLR - completely rewrite the first paragraph and the last, then do an edit to achieve my goals in the body - it take a few min. and is recognized as original

    PLR articles shouldn't really ever be submitted to article directories. For most article directories it breaks their terms of service as they usually require that you are the original author or the only owner of that content. If you do post it your risk having your account banned when the same article shows up on another site.

    I wouldn't even rewrite the articles and submit them anywhere, PLR articles are best used for e-books, newsletters, or for your own site, etc.

    Providing you rewrite the article completely then I don't see any problem with submitting this content to article directories. I would argue that most of the content in any of the major article directories is nothing more than rewritten PLR content. It is the least work intensive article marketing strategy and providing the article is well written can still drive plenty of targetted traffic to your website.

    You want to either use the PLR material as research to create your own content or completely rewrite it.

    And when we say rewrite it, we don't just mean changing a few words here and there. You should completely reword the content.

    Love,

      Another reason to do at least some rewriting is so you can add your "voice" or put your spin on it. Sometimes you want to do this (so that it's more interesting) and sometimes you need to do this (so that it is more applicable for your site).

      PLR is a good place to start ... but so is somewhere like EzineArticles. I built a site several months ago in a totally new-to-me niche and instead of paying for PLR, I used EZA as my research. I copied 2 or 3 dozen decent articles into text documents. Then I spent a couple of days with no internet access and wrote over 20 articles for my site, using those EZA articles as my starting point. My articles were much better than what I started with and they were so different that no one would have recognized their original article.

      Get creative with either PLR or what you find when doing your research. I took an article with 7 bullet points and turned it into 2 articles. The original article combined the do's and dont's into one article but I separated them out. I ended up with one article of 3 things you absolutely must do and 4 things you absolutely must not do.

      I really should do that again ... that was such a productive couple of days for me!

    I just use my own tool to quickly rewrite articles. It's quick and simple and have never had any problems with directories or google. You should always completely rewrite plr articles.
