My experience is that we get better results in Google and with real visitors by writing 10 keyword focussed articles for our own website than to add 100 PLR articles, unless these have been completely rewritten. And if so this work might have taken quite a long time. On the other hand we know that some marketers have been very successful by using PLR articles in their own version for their websites. My problem with PLR articles are that they are very boring and often without a clue of anything new. Some of the circulating PLR articles from the well known 'gurus' in marketing are really bad, e.g. writing about the darkroom under keywords of digital photography. My feeling is that I have wasted quite a lot of money in buying PLR articels from different suppliers. I admit that some are much better and decent than others. On the other hand I have to mention the ground breaking approach to successful online presense developed by Ken Evoy. His impressive ebook is now availabe free of charge at http://contact.sitesell.com/myss/ (unbelievable) and there is absolutely no catch. His approach will never ever be dumped by Google, I am sure, as his approach is the real way to develop a long-term business on a shoestring. I go back to this big e-book again and again. - Have success Photo Soren (from Denmark) Hi everybody,

And if they use PLR products in non-SEO marketing activity like ebooks, autoresponder, etc, that is also a good way to help their business. In this way, there is no need to worry about duplicate content issues from search engine point of view. PLR is after all a good idea if the user know how to use it. Of course, lazy marketers who copy and paste PLR stuff and put it on the website hoping to earn easy Adsense dollars are less likely to succeed because search engines are getting smarter and smarter every day. Duplicate contents can be easily filtered by present content management technology.

In the hands of the right marketer they can be a goldmine. They can be used in a variety of ways including newsletters, autoresponder series, special reports and ebooks. All of these are great for building credibility and a strong online brand. Although I do believe that many people misuse PLR products, I think you're overstating the problem and scaring people away from a source of content that could really help them move their businesses forward.

Why would I want to re-publish your article on my website. It's duplicate content!! 2. How much more original content is actually on the net anyway unless it is stories about personal experiences or personal interviews. Type anything into Google and you will come up with hundreds if not thousands of sites. Even original content is bound to have sentances if not identical then VERY similar considering the exponential amount of content out there. I can't see the harm if I read say a biographical article and then rewrite it from memory giving it my slant and voice. Are you telling me Google will determine that this content is duplifcate (along with the other 250,436 other sites that also seem similar) I don't think you can avoid re-written duplicate material on a large small business website of over 100 pages. My 2 cents Pryia,

Now, when Google sees a sudden spike of your link popularity, you are a candidate for delisting.

These quickie solutions only work until search engines learn to filter them out, and Google seems to be doing a much better job of filtering spam nowadays.
