Articles - Unique/Spun vs. Spintax vs. PLR

12 replies
OK warriors, I have a question that I'm looking for some good opinions on. This mainly applies to any article buyers out there, which is probably a pretty high percentage of anyone that needs content.

First of all, if you are buying articles, would you rather A) buy PLR articles that you can rewrite (cheapest option - maybe buy through a WSO), B) unique articles that are sold to you only (for example, you buy from someone in the Warriors For Hire section), or C) buy an article(s) in spintax format so you can spin yourself and submit.

Option A I think has broad appeal mainly because it's the cheapest and you can use the articles in a variety of ways, even without making htem unique. Option B is more expensive due to the articles being unique, but then you can use these on your site or spin them yourself, or submit to article directories, etc. so they have more value. Obviously option C would require software like The Best Spinner or similar.

Some people might choose different options, depending on their needs at the time, and this is OK. Just wondering really how much of a demand there is for each of these.

    well, obviously, option b is the best one in terms of providing google what it wants: 100% unique content. however, we also know that this would be very costly if you would like to submit 50 unique articles of that kind to article directories.

    I am still going with option c. a spun article which is at least 50% unique. and I think the readability is another important factor here. I cannot believe that google's algorithm is not able to detect bad grammar or in other words, I guess it can detect that!

    option a: hm, ok if you really rewrite it to a complete new article, why not?

    I agree, option A is good in terms of being unique and you're the only one who has access to it, but many people just can't afford it for all of the content they need to come up with.

    I personally write my own/ buy some unique articles but then use PLR for the bulk of my projects, simply because of the cost and savings in time. I admit I do nearly always rewrite PLR, so it takes some time but is still worthwhile.

    About option C, I think that'd be really useful too, even if it was PLR and not unique to you. It totally depends on what you want to use the article for, though, and in many cases I wouldn't need or want the spintax. And I would never want it if it was just automatically spun and didn't make sense (grammatically). I could do that myself by clicking a button on Magic Article Rewriter

    OK, so would you buy a spun article that has X% (50, 60, 80, 90?) uniqueness if you were the one and only person to get that article? I guess what I'm thinking here is if I write a 500 word article myself (easy enough), then I run it through The Best Spinner using a pretty thorough spin (word, sentence(s), paragraph), I could pump out hundreds of X% unique articles that I could sell as "x% unique" and that wouldn't be PLR, but would be priced somewhere in the middle of PLR articles and 100% unique articles.

    The only caveat here is that when ordering unique articles from a content provider, you usually give them details (keyword specifically, and usually density) so that your article fits exactly what you need. Although one could offer 90% unique spun articles (based on a main 100% unique article), they may not be keyword focused like unique articles would.

    To that same point though, PLR articles you buy with no regard to the keywords, so I guess a unique/spun article definitely falls in the middle of straight PLR articles and 100% unique. But...it would be priced accordingly. I just think that the option of getting a pretty darn unique article (enough that EZA would accept w/o hesitation - whatever % that would be) for cheaper than a truly 100% unique article would definitely be an attractive option for a lot of people.

    In addition to being mostly unique, you could pre-spin the articles and sell them one-by-one so that the turn around time is not days, but hours. And then if you wanted it to be specific to your keyword(s), you could modify it as long as it still made sense within the context of how the article was written.

    Dunno....just really brainstorming here to see what kind of market there is for this. There may be people already doing this - I just didn't search around and thought I'd throw it out for discussion.

      I would buy this, but it would definitely have to be priced lower than unique articles, and not too much more than PLR because, unless you did a LOT of spinning, each random version probably wouldn't be that unique compared to all the random other ones you were selling, I think not anyway, the maths confuses me lol

      Another idea is to sell PLR articles, but sell them in spin syntax. So everyone who buys them does get the same spintax, I have seen some other people doing this at higher prices to plain un-spun PLR.

        To your first point, I agree that the price would fall between pure PLR and unique, and probably closer to PLR might not be enough to make the investment in time to create the spintax worth doing (it is very time intensive).

        As far as selling as spintax, it may not be that much different than selling the already-spun versions, and actually if you sell the spintax versions and people are using the same spinner, there is always a chance that they would get the same spun article, depending on how deep you created the spintax.

        Sounds like the spintax is an option and there is a market, but I have to agree that there is and always be a good market strictly for PLR articles, and also for 100% unique articles, so maybe that would be the better places to invest one's time.

    I prefer option A at the moment because it's the cheapest option and I can rewrite the PLR quickly. I eventually want to move primarily to option B, having unique articles written for me. I will probably continue to use PLR even with outsourcing my articles, but it would be for report and ebook creation.

    I prefer option A because even when I buy unique articles (option B) I almost always still end up editing/rewriting them in some say. So I might as well get PLR articles much cheaper and do the same thing.

    I would be in support of Option A the most. But... I wouldn't take a PLR article and then spin it and submit it to directories because I know there are plenty of others who have done that... So how much different will that article really be.

    I like taking PLR articles, completely rewriting them and then spinning them on my own. That might be a little repetitive but in the end it seems like an effective means of creating unique content.

    It depends on your needs.

    Personally, i do NOT want to build upon and write based on existing PLR articles. I also dont want to use existing PLR articles on my own sites.

    If you hire a writer and need to correct there is a problem right there, IMO.

    Using deep spun articles has also become more interesting for me, i create them for myself and use them for blog networks and submission, but i also create them for fellow warriors. It's a lot of work but a high quality manual spun article is worth gold.

    When offering PLR articles either on a dedicated website, here on the WF (as 'for hire' or as a WSO), what kind of extras would you be looking for, if any? I guess what I'm trying to see is that would it be worth it to offer a little more with the articles? This could be a variety of things - keyword research, niche blog theme, etc.

    Is it just simpler and actually more basic to just stick to selling plain ol' article packs? Obviously I think this is a good way to go, but do think think any 'extras' would help with sales? If so, what kind of 'extras' would YOU want?

      Personally, it would be a mixture of well written articles, with automatically respun articles which are proof read, and given some extra variation.
