Are PLR (Private Resell Rights) articles effective to use ?

Definition first.
PLR or Private Resell Rights articles are articles you can use as though as they are your own. The authors allow you to claim yourself as the author and change any hyper links contained in it.

But do be aware that some PLRs do not allow you to alter anything in the article except only for the two above. So you have to be careful what can and what cannot. Each PLRs are different from one another.

The obvious advantage of having using PLR articles are :

1. You will be known as an expert or guru on the subject which you are not.

2. No one can complain that you copy and use someone else articles which can be an expensive affair if the matter is taken to court.

3. Having said the two above, you are free to use PLRs in your websites, blogs, articles directories and the rest. Put some Adsense and it pulls the targeted advertisements in. People click on the adsense ads and you earn commission from Google.

4. You find some affiliate products related to the articles and entice anyone reading it to visit the link you inserted.

It is so easy and fast to use. But is it effective ?

If your strategy is like this where you bought the PLR articles from some company or expert over the internet, how many do you think did the same as you ?

It can be anywhere from the hundreds to the thousands of article marketers !

Now today's well known Search Engines are much smarter when it comes to this issue. They are programmed not to list (or even ban) articles that are identical to the ones they had already listed. Such a let down !

This means that if you are the second PLR article being spidered, you will not get listed and most probably banned from the search engine. As simple as that.

But no matter how harsh this sound for you the article writer or merely submitter, the search engine companies are actually trying to safeguard their reliability to their users.

What if what users found are identical from one another ? Although the title or the author might seem to be different, but the content are the same. Sooner or later, nobody rely on the search engines anymore.

Bottom line, try to be an article writer if you are not one. You can get the points from other articles you read, but do re write it to be your own. It will save you a lot of wasted effort.
