A New Light About PLR Articles,Duplicate Content,And How I was a Moron!

Recently, I've just purchased the premiere service of copyscape, which allows you to check the originality of your content.
I purchased it first place to check some blog posts and articles I paid a writer to make for me, but ends up with away unexpected insights and thoughts.

First to say, it's a really cheap service and I encourage everyone to use, secondly it is a reliable service and gives results fast, gives you the exact site the checked content found at and even highlight it for you.

To the insights.

I performed a check on some plr articles I purchased the rights to use before in different niches, to see if I can use them as content/in promotion.

Of course, I found that 99.9% of the content I checked is in use by not one but several sites, and even worse, every time it is used "As is", publishers don't even bother to spin them or try by any means to alter them.

That's when an idea lightened in front of me:

"If this simple service I'm using allowed me to allocate duplicate content within seconds, what about big search engines like google and yahoo? isn't it logical that they have more extensive and powerful tools to locate duplicate content in light speed?

And if we are clearly and loudly warned about using duplicate content, and how this can affect the quality and ranking of our sites, why on earth we, IM marketers are complaining when our sites are buried deep in the dust upon every update of SE algorithm, while we don't think before we use suspicious content?

Really for god sake, every now and then we blame Google for a slap, and cry loudly about how stupid arrogant SE buried our sites while we don't pay attention what we are posting on our sites (I talk from a personal side, because before getting access to this service, I used to post plr articles with little or no change, thinking that I need to spin the content only upon submitting an article to ezinearticles and other article directories, but when posting to a site or a blog..ok man,, who cares?!)

I feel now really stupid, I adapt my articles and carefully edit the content when submit it to ezinearticles, but when send it to gigantic SE , I don't care!

I have 2 sites recently found to raise in page rank, one was a simple sales letter and the other is actually a short 2 paragraphs landing page!
I was wondering why these 2 sites are doing well, they are not on a blog or any other platform that claimed to be loved by SE, they are very simple html pages, I made in minutes using free HTML editor,


It was very weird for me that these 2 sites particularly are my most successful sites regarding PR!
Now, I can figure the reason.

Every word on these sites is unique, simply because I wrote them myself!

I didn't invent a new English, and you can taste my bad writing skills here , but the point matters is that.. the content is UNIQUE!!

That's the golden key copyscape helped me to find, unique content is your real pass for good ranking, whatever anyone says about SEO (no doubt it's important) and slaps and all this talk.

You can put the best optimized web page in the world, and one peace of recycled content can get you down within seconds..

The results?

I WILL NEVER EVER USE PLR MATERIAL AS CONTENT ON MY SITE AGAIN

When I need content, I'll walk the extra mile and hire someone to write it for me, may be it will cost more, but when I calculated what I paid for rehashed useless material, I discovered how I was a big moron!

Every time I'll hire someone to write for me, I'll double check the uniqueness of the content,

I won't harm my sites again with risky content.


I decided to share this with you because I expect it to be enlightening for some persons like me who didn't pay attention for this issue before.

Best Wishes
