Thousands of PLR articles for $5?

No, these gigs are not worth buying. The quality will be poor, and many of the articles are stolen, scraped, and/or being sold without permission. You don't want to give your hard-earned money to this type of seller.

If you want PLR, look for reputable sellers such as those on the WF.
.

Yeah, they are usually poor quality and also overly distributed. There are lots of giant PLR article packs out there but they are old and crappy so it probably is legitimate. Maybe not a bad deal if you are just using them for research or want to rewrite them.

if you type into google you might be surprised what you can get.

The Fiverr gigs that sell multiple articles for $5 are not of good quality. I doubt if they are even PLR articles. I think most of the providers on Fiverr actually copy already existing Internet content and edit it to make it slightly unique. Most of the times, these articles are not only written in bad taste, but have bad grammar and sentence formation.

The short answer ... no.
These are garbage articles that have been spread around the Net for a long time, many of them written so poorly that people who care about content would not use them as is.

A. They're junk.
B. They're junk.
C. They're junk.
D. You can get them for free from lots of websites which give them away.

I would make it a point to go for quality over quantity. I am amazed at how poorly written some PLR is. What's the point when you will have to rewrite the entire article?

IMO the question isn't about quality but rather legality. Many of the articles in the mega-packs are scraped from places like EZA and are not really PLR.

I have approx. 20.000 - ??.000 PLR articles right here on my hard drive...you can find them anywhere.

But wait..now you gave me an idea

I like how so many "knowledgeable" people chime in and say "they are junk".
If i look at my PLR collection, those articles look all pretty good to me, in fact the usual PLR articles out there are usually better quality as some "custom written" ones from some "article writers".

So..with the exception that they are PLR and likely to be used all over the web...i don't really see why they are "junk"?

Airbrush Art Tattoos

A fascinating form of airbrush art is the airbrush tattoos. These tattoos can be applied to any part of the body and last longer than most temporary tattoos. An airbrushed tattoo will last for 7 days unlike other temporary tattoo that start to come off when you are bathing. It takes time or baby oil to remove an airbrushed tattoo. Tattoos that are done with airbrush art look realistic compared to other temporary tattoos.

Henna as temporary body art does last for awhile requiring time and lots of exposure to water to fade and disappear. Henna though takes a long time to hand paint onto the body. The bigger the artwork the longer it will take the artist to pain the henna design on. Airbrush art goes on quickly thus saving lots of time compared to henna as well as airbrush art is waterproof. Unlike henna lots of exposure to water still will not fade your tattoo. Where it would take an artist 6 hours to pain on a large henna design the same artist could airbrush the design on in around 30 minutes. This is a major amount of time saved for the artist as well as the recipient that must stay still during this process.


Another great thing with using airbrush art to create tattoos over real tattoos, is that there is no risk of infection due to piercing of the skin with a needle. There is no healing time needed with airbrushed tattoos. The great part is there is no pain involved. Real tattoos come with pain and is one of the reason that some people do not get them. So using airbrush art to create a tattoo gives people the chance to have realistic tattoos without the pain.

Real tattoos are permanent and you are stuck with what ever you get. The only way to remove a tattoo that you do not like is to either do a cover up tattoo or go and have laser surgery to remove the tattoo. With airbrushed tattoos you can get rid of it with baby oil or just wait about 7 days and then it is gone. No need to go and get an even bigger tattoo to cover up the offending one or go through the hassle of laser surgery.

To do airbrush art in the form of tattoos you will need certain products. First off you will need an airbrush gun, 10' Hoses braded hose, stencils, glass airbrush bottles and an air manifold. Then off course you will need airbrush paints that are designed for the human skin. This is usually referred to as airbrush tattoo ink. To finish up the process you will need talc powder and 70 percent alcohol.

The stencils are available in a wide variety of designs thus giving you almost limitless creativity when using airbrush art to create tattoos. The talc powder is to be applied to the tattoo after it has dried. The powder helps to keep the tattoo from fading. The 70 percent alcohol is to clean the airbrush gun and glass bottles with after you are done.

Airbrushed art used to create tattoos will last for 7 days on the norm. Now if you have extremely oily skin it could start to fade in a couple of days. If you have dry skin it could last past the 7 days. To help keep your airbrushed art tattoo for as long as possible keep applying talc powder to it every so often. If you are ready to get rid of it then just rub it down with baby oil and it will come off.

Tips for Choosing a Coffee Maker

Coffee makers have come a long way. From yesterday's cowboy pots boiling coffee over the coals to today's sleek gourmet brewers, there's a coffee maker to fit every taste, every lifestyle, every budget and every counter space. So where do you begin finding the coffee maker of your dreams?

Before you head for the appliance aisle at your favorite store, do a little homework. Consider what kind of coffee you prefer, how often you drink coffee, how much space you have for a coffee maker, how much you can afford to spend on a coffee maker. These are the issues involved in deciding whether to purchase an espresso or a non-espresso coffee maker.
Choosing a Coffee Maker: Espresso or No Espresso

Espresso coffee makers are fancy. They cost more than other coffee makers (some cost thousands of dollars) and make a variety of coffee types including cappuccino and lattes. Espresso machines often make only one cup of coffee at a time and require cleaning after each cup. The coffee is stronger than that brewed by other means.

True coffee aficionados often prefer to use the espresso coffee maker, especially the super automated models that do everything from grinding the coffee to pouring it into the cup.

Typical coffee drinkers who prefer to have a pot of coffee available at all times and aren't interested in lattes or other versions of coffee tend to prefer non-espresso coffee makers. Non-espresso coffee makers work well for people who like to start the coffee brewing and go on about their usual activities while it brews. They buy coffee already ground and don't bother with beans or grinding.

For coffee drinkers needing large quantities of coffee, non-espresso is the way to go. Large percolator type coffee urns can be used to make more than a hundred cups of coffee at one time.

They also prefer returning to the coffee pot time after time and refilling their coffee cup over making only a cup at a time. Non-espresso type coffee makers are much less expensive than espresso machines.

Choosing a Coffee Maker: Non-Espresso

These coffee makers are available in drip, French press and combination models. Drip machines often make 6 to 10 cups of coffee at a time. For those who need a lesser quantity, it's better to buy a model that makes 4 cups (or less) at a time. Drip coffee makers are inexpensive and easy to use.

There are pod coffee makers available which use single serving pods to brew coffee. Pod coffee makers can be inexpensive but the coffee itself costs more than standard cans of pre-ground coffee.
French Press coffee makers are great for a few cups of coffee at a time. Combination coffee makes featuring both espresso and non-espresso coffee makers in one machine are also available. These machines give coffee drinkers the best of both worlds.

Choosing a Coffee Maker: Espresso

Espresso coffee makers come in semi-automatic, fully automatic and super automatic models. These machines make fewer cups at a time and may require more time and attention that a standard drip coffee maker.

The more automated an espresso coffee maker is, the more features it will offer. Some take care of everything from grinding the coffee beans to filling the cup with coffee and ejecting the used coffee grounds.

The more features the espresso coffee maker offers, the higher the price tag attached to it. These coffee makers can cost anywhere from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars.

The first decision to be made in choosing a coffee maker is the need to determine whether an espresso coffee maker or a non-espresso coffee maker is needed. Coffee preferences, budget and quantity of coffee to be made are factors that affect the decision making process.


Etc..etc....

Yes i agree, the articles could be scraped, or bought somewhere else and resold for profits. But for $5 it may be worth it, depending on what you're intending to use them for.

How many other people do you think have it already if it's on Fiverr?

And how good could it be?

I bought 15.000 articles for $ 10, I knew that is bad and old article. I am not native English so I rewrite again, or edit again by sofware ( it called wordflood ) to make unique. I edit 30-40 %, to become a new contant. I change the title and the first sentence of the first paragraph.

It's better to right your own article for your blog post than to buy it somewhere were you are not sure about the quality of the article.

I dare you to put this crap on a real money site and see how much money you make

The quality isn't the best, and they could have been passed around for a couple of years, and the sellers, in some cases could have gotten them free from membership sites, and decided to sell them for $5.
If you do decide to purchase them, you may very well have to do a lot of re-writing.

Use them as a guide only! If it is your intention to submit quality articles.

If you google "free plr articles", you can see that there are websites offering thousands of these for free (possibly to get opt-ins). Someone's probably just collected all these free plr articles and lumped them into one package.

I'm going to go against the current here and say this. They're not always junk but they ARE always WAY over distributed.

Just for fun...Google the first paragraph of the above articles and see how many results you get with the exact same articles.

I have to agree with Travlinguy. It's not that they're always junk but they have been used over and over again for several years.

Most PLR buyers don't use them any, the PLR just site on their harddrives, especially when buying them by the thousands.

Those bulk PLR packs can be good for generating ideas/topics for new content.

Okay, I actually came across a site today that offered 100,000 PLR articles as bonus for opting in for their website.

???

I opted in out of sheer curiousity. I haven't read all of them of course, but from going over some of them, I see that some are decent quality (not amazing but decent), some have poor grammar, and some are in other languages like Spanish and French.
So basically what I gather from this and from this discussion is that bulk PLR packages are a crap shoot...kind of like buying the mystery box of groceries for $5 and hoping at least that nothing has passed the expiration date.
I guess this kind of PLR has its place, but I understand now why the PLR packages offered as limited distribution WSOs are an attractive choice.

You're welcome

I think the phrase has been said about 1 bazillion times on the WF, but its all about QUALITY, not quantity.

Sure, throwing up thousands of pages on a website can get you some visitors.

But the best autobloggers will tell you that what you do is find the pages getting traffic, put high content stuff on there, add some good backlinks, and you'll start getting more and more traffic and sales.

Even if you find 10,000 PLR articles for like $100, you can rest assured its probably garbage.

Cybria,

Chris is correct. Lisa and Tiffany both have good guides regarding starting a PLR business. I would also add Peggy Baron's guide to the list as well.

Rose

GeorgR -- was that stuff an example of what you think is quality?

Well there's the problem - people don't know what's good and what's average to poor. Sorry - that is mid high school level writing - if you correct the grammar. The information seems sound (I don't know the subject), the sentence structure is average at best - and there are a myriad mistakes - verb/subject agreement, punctuation, and the organization and structure is all over the place. It looks like cuts from different articles have been laced together.

Basically, yeah, you could turn that into quality with some work on it - but it is NOT quality work. Yet it's not gerbish.

So that's what I think of your examples -- but I don't know what your point was in showing it? To show that PLR doesn't have to cost a fortune to be at least passable? It doesn't. That fact, however, does not erase the likelihood that mega bundles of PLR being sold on fiverr are probably stolen, worn out, or trash.

How many subjects do you think 5000 articles would cover? Do you think one author would write that much in that many genres and still produce quality that comes from being knowledgeable about a subject? Ya think the seller paid for all of that stuff - or did he just scrape it, lift it, etc? Also - there's a possibility that pkg might just be composed of all the free stuff that other people are saying already exists out there.

It's not PLR itself that is the question here as I see it. It's the quantity in the pkg vs price. I also see questions about the reputation of the site they are being promoted from which is, in turn translating into more questions about the legitimacy of the source.

I think I am going to start an article writing gig on fiverr . It seems people does not mind paying for low quality articles.

Something else to consider is this: when buying a package of PLR from someone on a site like Fiverr, how likely is it that all 5,000 or 9,000 articles are going to be related to your niche? I sincerely hope that no one tries selling content on a single topic/niche in THAT kind of volume!

That means that those thousands of articles are going to be grouped into A TON of different topics/niches, many (or most) of which are not going to be related to the subjects you need content for, which will make them essentially useless!

Just a thought.

PLR articles can be used to create free blog pages on blogger etc and adding backlinks links to your social bookmarking links, profile links etc.
