help needed: website content and article marketing questions

4 replies
can i use the content of other blogs as the content of my own site? im talking about articles here.

just wondering if this can be done so the articles that im going to outsource will all be used for article marketing only.

also, can i edit some ezine articles then insert the keywords that im targeting then publish the edited articles at ezine afterwards?

    If you post someone else's work one your site you can not alter it or take credit for it. No only is it unethical...it's stealing... You need to give credit to the blog or keep the author's bio box intact...

    You can - like the last poster says give credit where credit is due and keep any links in tact.

    You're essentially talking about spinning - which is ok, imo if you wrote the article to begin with. Go ahead and get some ideas - but don't use others hard work to your advantage.

    I would recommend starting with writing your own content. It may seem tough and tedious at first, but after some practice you will be turning out solid 500 word articles in no time. I would definitely recommend this over taking someone else's content.

    By writing yourself, I think it will help you grow as a marketer and allow you to create your own unique content.

    It is against the TOS at Ezine Articles to spin content and republish it. You should be writing your own unique content from scratch not taking someone else's efforts and rehashing it. If you are not a great writer then pay a ghost writer to create unique content for you.
