rewrites and unique articles

Taking someone else's work and running a tool on it and then republishing doesn't sound like a very ethical strategy. If you are going to rewrite, why not gather a couple of sources, and create something worthwhile?

Unique is kind of a fun concept.

If you rewrite it then you could argue it is unique, not as unique as if you wrote it from scratch.

Many article services sell "unique" articles that are really spun Ezine Articles submissions. And these guys don't tell their clients that is how they generate the content.

Many people who buy the service would regard it as unique if it passes copyscape.

So really up to you and what measure you use. If you want to avoid saying it is 100% unique then just tell your customers someting like "guaranteed to pass copyscape" or something.

Better yet just use words like custom articles, duplicate free.

I don't judge ethics either way because really how unique can something be? How much totally new information on dog training can their be? If you do your own research you are still rewriting someone else's ideas in your own words.

Yes, you should definitely tell a buyer that the content is rewritten. Even if the sentences are unique, the concepts, structure and flow of the content is not.

Value wise, that would then place it in between PLR content and actual unique content, so the buyer deserves to know.

IMHO, it so easy to create unique content why rewrite someones work? The goal should always be to add value to whatever you're doing.

I don't use a tool to rewrite, I do manually. I rewrite every sentence. The owners that I got the e-book from state that I can do anything I want with it except change the links. I just don't want to do it if it is not a good thing to do.

Ummm... I'd rather write something about my experiences and/or thoughts ...drawn from my own angles of relevant topics or subtopics ...covered by particular ebooks or articles.

I can stop worrying about the $0.05/check cost at Copyscape ...plus customers filing complaints ...and authors slapping plagiarism suits because of this.

I don't need to always literally experience topics and subtopics discussed by particular ebooks and articles to write helpful content. What I need are: (1) analytical capabilities, (2) creative juices and (3) logic.

These will allow me to conceptualize something which can ...simulate lucid and thoughtful creative interpretations ...of possible experiences ...drawn from analytical perspectives ...of different logical angles and inferences.

For me, generating analytical interpretative perspectives and simulated experiences ...from interestingly creative and ironclad logical angles and inferences ...about topics and subtopics covered by: (1) my own experiences, (2) real stories I've heard from my friends and loved ones, (3) thoughts and (4) published ebooks or articles ...is what makes writing enjoyable.
