Using PLR Content with Adsense

A question for the Adsense experts on the forum.

I've come in to a bunch of well written PLR on a certain topic (as well as some not as well written PLR) and the prospect of rewriting all this is a bit daunting (since I'm extraordinarily busy at the moment.)

I know the convention is to rewrite PLR before using it with Adsense, but are there really any reasons not to? (Since the duplicate content myth is just that, a myth.) Can I just slap it up on a site with Adsense?

Should I get it on the site and ranking before I insert the Adsense ads? Does it matter?

Any thoughts, ideas, tips?

    Thanks for your comment, but I was more interested in knowing if I have to rewrite the PLR (and any associated tips), not how to rewrite it. :-)

    Rewrite it. Adsense publishers are required to adhere to the webmaster quality guidelines, and below is what Google says about duplicate content.

    I have one particular site that is nothing BUT duplicate content and have been running (and making money from) Adsense on it for quite some time.

    There are lots of misunderstandings about duplicate content out there.

      Same here. I've been putting up some duplicate content on my blog for awhile now and it has returned me plenty of traffic and earnings with Adsense. There doesn't seem to be a problem there.

        This is probably one of the most talked about subjects in website publishing and every time the question is asked the answers go round and round in circles.

        Despite what Google says in it's guidelines; which are horribly vague on this issue in my opinion, I have many sites that contain articles from directories that are indexed well. Having said that, I also have duplicate articles that don't do so well also..

        I maintain that so long as the content, duplicate or not, adds something of value to your site then Google will index that content. Quite often duplicate articles will rank a lot higher than the original article. I believe it is about the context the article is used in rather than the article itself.

    I would have thought you'd need to re-write it but then I've never 'as of yet' tried uploading 'as is' PLR to a site to see if it returns traffic.

    I would say why not stuck up a 20 page site with untouched PLR and test it out for yourself.

    Just put them up. If you aren't concerned about the quality for you visitors. truth is you can keyword stuff and google adsense will display. Yu simply need to give some food for the adsense bot to figure out what your site is about.

    Here is what I tell everyone about this subject:

    If writing/rewriting unique content is a daunting task, then you are in
    the wrong business.

    Think about it, you woke up and decided to be a "Content Publisher,"
    which means creating content sites and earning money from Adsense
    or other advertising revenue.


    Yet you already do not like the work that is involved, before starting.

    I would find another business model, and fast.

      Content providers don't have to create all their content. That's why there's such a thing as Associated Press and Reuters.

      While I admire your hard work and accomplishments, John, I'll have to disagree with this completely. Just because someone wants to be a content provider doesn't mean they need to write all of the content themselves. There are parts of my IM efforts that I love and enjoy and excel at, and parts that I don't care for... that's why they invented employees and outsourcing.

        I never said that outsourcing was out, or a bad idea.

        Where in my post did you get that idea?

        We are discussing your average, struggling newbies who have
        a mis-guided idea that they can just post a bunch of unaltered
        PLR and make it big with Adsense.

          John, you said:

          "If writing/rewriting unique content is a daunting task, then you are in the wrong business".

          Seems pretty straightforward, unless I'm mis-reading it. Coupled with:

          "I would find another business model, and fast".

          I don't like to mow the lawn but I LOVE beautiful greenery and awesome, landscaped lots. I can hire people to mow. Should I avoid starting a lawn care business?

          Maybe I'm misunderstanding here.

    xfactor... are you serious?

    do publishing companies write all the things they publish? No

    Do Nike Exec. build the shoes themselves? no they outsource.

    Most successful businesses realize that they need to outsource to one extent. Saying you are in the wrong business just because you don't want to write your own content is pretty harsh and completely wrong.

      Please my friend, understand the concept of the thread we are
      discussing here.

      Outsourcing was never in the equation. And you are wrong for putting
      words into my post that did not exist.

      No, John is absolutely right in what he says. Of course you can outsource tasks that you find difficult or uninteresting but far to many people start in content publishing with the idea of making a fast buck. That is completely the wrong approach and is destined to fail, it's just plain laziness.

      I am sure that the chief exec at Nike started in this industry with a love of all things sports shoes and spent countless hours developing new and innovative products in the early days. You can work smarter ONLY when you know what you are doing...

    i got banned for a bunch of sites with unaltered PLR so my advice would be to rewrite it. It will be better for you in the long run
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[954705].message }}
  • Profile picture of the author Cerberus
    Point taken,

    However by default outsourcing is part of this conversation. IMO as soon as you say "If writing/rewriting unique content is a daunting task, then you are in
    the wrong business."
    you open up the conversation to alternatives, ie outsourcing.

    Your perspective is if you don't want to do it yourself then you shouldn't be in this business and that is a completely wrong way to look.

    We are discussing your average, struggling newbies who have
    a mis-guided idea that they can just post a bunch of unaltered
    PLR and make it big with Adsense.
    I generally agree but I have also made some good money with PLR and adsense. Without altering them. I think anyone who uses PLR should also use copyscape to see how saturated the particular articles are. I have bought PLR articles that only had 4 other results when run through copyscape. So if you see results like that then I wouldn't do a thing to them. If you see 100's of results with copyscape then you better alter them.

    Perhaps it's my mistake of assuming that whenever this type of
    question pops up, the individual is typically trying to find a way
    around, or to totally avoid creating unique content.

    I also assumed that the original poster does not want to pay
    for, or cannot afford, to outsource.

      For the most part, I write my own content. I've also outsourced and had others write content for me.

      Affording it isn't the problem. I did purchase the PLR. And of course I don't want to pay anything I don't have to. It's always good (and wise) to save money wherever you can, especially in tight times like this. There's no need to throw away money.

      That doesn't mean I won't pay to get the PLR rewritten (or do it myself.) As I noted above, there does appear to be a huge amount of highly placed duplicate content, and I wondered if it was strictly necessary to rewrite it. Hence the question.

        Sorry John, it looks like we all just kind of responded in different
        directions to your post.

        That happens in forums when we cannot really express our conversation
        in verbal words.

        Hope you find the answer you are looking for.

    John do you have a paid account with copyscape? If the articles is only used a few times you can look at the pages and see if they are running adsense. If not no problem.

    If they are. WI still don't think it will be a problem

    WHen copyscape says the article(s) have been used dozens of times then you probably want to rewrite.

    Remember that the SE spiders see all the content on a page, not just the main article. Your page template or layout is uniique from other sites and that counts as the page to the eyes of a spider. Of course I assume the google adsense spider sees the same are the SE one

    Go to Search Engine Spider Simulator and plug your webpage in. Then compare that to just the article for uniqueness.

    Oh ya. If you PM me an article I can run it through my copyscape and see how many results there are.

    I know this isn't where the OP was going, but...

    CLEARLY the bottom line is that you don't have to love everything about your business to be a success. A business has many facets, and just because you're not adept at a certain aspect or aren't "in love" with the prospect of doing a particular task for your business doesn't mean you shouldn't go for it. I don't love everything about my businesses, but that hasn't stopped me from making them very successful.
