Does Using PLR Mean Auto Ban From Google?
- SEO |
The other day, I was running some of my PLR articles through a plagiarism checker to see if any of them were unique (I know, that's hopeful...). Anyway, every single PLR article I would run through the checker would return 0 matches for any phrase in Google, yet 100's or more matches in Yahoo. I confirmed this by running searches in Google myself for some sentences or phrases from the article. No results found.
Do you think Google just doesn't index the 100 or more pages of identical content.. I mean, not even ONE website with that article will be indexed FOR that article? That seems a little strange to me, considering Google's "spiel" about how they know where the original source of the content is, and how they "don't really penalize for duplicate content." I would think that at least one result would show, with the link saying Google did not include 1,000 results that are very similar to the results already displayed.
I've been learning a lot about getting indexed by Google, as well as how the PR for any website can be variable across pages (deep backlinks are therefore important for SEO, I should have known that). So, even if I backlink a PLR article on 1,000's of other websites, it still won't help my PR for that page, and may get me unlisted from Google for other pages on my site.
Have any of you had a similar experience or heard of this before? I mean, I have read tons of articles explaining that PLR articles must be changed because there are already 1,000's of results in Google for the exact copy of the article - but apparently there aren't ANY results at all.
Plus, I have learned that apparently it is against the law to change a PLR article, that it must be used in its exact form, or else you must only use it as inspiration if you are writing your own article. So now I'm confused about what value, if ANY, PLR articles have.
