Not Another PLR Question !

Hi Warriors,

Im after some advice and yes, it is another plr question for the forum.

I have been checking out a number of reseller sites of late and have noticed
that most of them use varying definitions of private label rights, resale rights, master resale rights etc.

My main question is what are your definitions of these terms ?

Secondly if you bought a product with plr (so you can change it to make your own) but the product you bought didnt come with plr to pass to your customers unless you changed 50 % of the content. What would you consider 50% ?
A sales letter rewrite ? A graphics change ?

PLR, MRR and the like can be a mine field and you obviously don't want to step on peoples toes, so what would you all suggest to the above.

Thanks

Scott

  • Scott - it doesn't matter what *your* definition of PLR is - you must follow the definition of the person who is selling you the rights. If you don't understand the seller's definition - ask for clarification.

    As for what makes a 50% change - exactly 50% of the words in the product must be rewritten. You can also add content to get to that 50% mark.

    Hope this helps~

    • Most sellers will ask for a review copy of what you intend to sell to see if it really is 50% different and they will say what is allowed. Changing the graphics is not enough, you have to be very clear on this point.

    • if only it were that simple. There are numerous ways to calculate the difference between 2 bits of text. Levenschtein distance, similar_text, shingling counts... For example, you could take an article and swap every other word for the one preceding it. The result would be gibberish, obviously. It would also be 100% different. But not to the search engines, who would regard it as identical for SERPS purposes. Or take for example the third word in the text, and replace it with ojsdhfgojerhgiojrewhgoiqhgojqehgto3q4hgoeqrhgoerhh guw5ehehgerhgherogrohgohjoijhiqjh5jyw45ipojhwitroj hoi5rtjho;ir5jqwrtjhouq4jhg etc.

      The result would be wildly different text according to some algorithms, and 99.99% similar according to others.

      Seeing as most people try to make stuff unique for seo purposes, use the same method the search engines use for determining how different it is.

  • Scott, normally it means the actual document, not the sales page or graphics.

    The other thing to consider is does the PLR come with restricted or unrestricted rights.

    You will find that many unrestricted products end up in sites being given away.

    Also, PLR suppliers will often say you can't pass on the source code, normally that means the original source code. But a number of people ignore that.

    I have seen many products which has a folder which says, "Do not upload" but it is uploaded and then it gets passed around.

    Unrestricted rights often get sold as is.

    • Thanks Bev,

      It certainly can be a minefield. As I said its a case of not wanting to step on peoples toes and have integrity as opposed to outright stealing other peoples work, or ignoring their restrictions.
