PLR vs. Free Reprint Articles: Which is Best?
by Nicole Dean
Content is always in high demand. Right now the focus seems to be on Private Label Rights (or PLR) articles. PLR articles are pre-written and sold in packages to online businesses looking for content. The big selling points of PLR articles are that you may edit the articles and that there is no author bio required (so they don’t have any outbound links).
Compare PLR articles to free reprint articles. Free reprint articles from places like ezinearticles.com or freeaffiliatearticles.com are written by people who have something they’d like to share. (Or, they are sometimes written by people just publishing junk, in the hopes that they’ll get some incoming links. But, good article directories will delete those, so we’ll focus on the good ones here.)
So, which is better? Honestly, each has its place. Sometimes you’ll find an excellent free reprint article that you’ll want to share with your readers and you won’t mind a bit having an outbound link, especially if there is an affiliate program associated with it. The free reprint article added value to your readers, and you didn’t have to write the article. That’s what free reprint articles are all about.
Other times you’ll already have an idea in mind for a topic and you’ll just want a boost getting that section of your website done. If you run across a high quality PLR package on that niche, you’re set to go.
So, how do you know which PLR service or membership to choose? Here are some guidelines to follow:
1. Some PLR sites offer a monthly membership where you receive a grab-bag of articles – on any topic. If you already know what you need, this may be a waste of money. Other PLR sites will list topics and you can buy the articles in a shopping cart. That ensures you receive the articles you need when you need them.
2. Are the articles written by professional writers with experience? Or are they outsourced to the cheapest overseas help they can find – no matter the quality? If the articles are going to be a reflection of your business, you’ll want to ensure that the articles are well-written.
3. Who’s running this thing? Is the PLR site run by someone who knows about content or someone who thinks they can ride the content wave and make a quick buck? Make sure you’re hitching your wagon to someone who knows what they’re doing.
Those are just a few tips to keep you from wasting money on a PLR site that you can’t use. Continue to use free reprint articles, but look into PLR articles as well. They can both benefit your website and your business.

Getting That Number 1 Google Position.
If you haven’t automated your article submission, it can only mean one of three things:
1. You don’t want or need any additional free visitors to your website, because you cannot handle them,
2. You have not read my previous articles, or
3. You still haven’t been able to realize the power and incredible value of this system. that is, how this will dramatically boost your sales.
If you fall into the first category, then please move on to the next article, this one just doesn’t apply to you.
Otherwise, please take a minute to read this article thoroughly, as it really could mean the difference between success and failure for your Internet business this year. You see, people love to make things complicated, but making money online is actually quite simple. It does not matter whether you are selling your own product, promoting affiliate links, or making money from Adsense or “click flipping”, it all boils down to just two things:
Conversion and Traffic.
Conversion must come first of all. You need to have an offer that people actually want. That offer could be a product, or an attractive advert (e.g. Google Adsense) that people are compelled to click on. And you need some kind of presentation (such as a sales letter) that encourages them to take the action you require such as to buy the product or to click on the advert.
In many ways this is the easy part. Most people can cobble together a half-decent website or sales letter that will convert at least some visitors into money.
But then, of course, you need visitors. Busfuls of them. The more people that you can get to come to your site, the more money you will make; especially if those visitors re highly targeted. But, given the number of websites online: all competing for the same visitors, just how do you get more visitors to your site?
Well, there are just three ways that people come to your site:
1. Visitors type your URL straight into their browser. That results from some sort of off-line promotion: it might be your business card, a radio advert, an article in a magazine or a conversation with a friend.
2. People click on a link. The hyperlink may be in an email they received (eg from a friend or from an ezine they subscribed to) or it may be on another website they have visited.
3. Or they do a search in the search engines, see your site in the listings, and click to visit you.
And that is it. There is no other way for them to get to your website.
So, knowing that, how do you get more traffic? Simple:
1. Make sure you are promoting your online presence in all your offline promotional materials.
2. Get lots of people to put links to you on their website, and lots of people to send out emails with your links in them.
3. Get a top position in the search engines.
Mmm.., it sounds simple, but maybe it is not so easy. Just how do you achieve steps 2 and 3 without spending loads of cash or getting banned by the search engines?
To understand this, we need to think about how the search engines work. Again, it is much simpler than people say.
Search engines want lots of people to use them. To achieve that, they strive to deliver relevant and up-to-date content to people who do a search through them. But how do they determine what is relevant to your search?
There are only two ways they can do that:
1. They look at your site. Using very sophisticated algorithms they determine what the subject matter of your site is. They also look how new, or old it is, how recently it has changed, and so on. These are all known as on-page or on-site factors. You have direct control over many of these when you set up your website.
2. They ‘consider’ what other people write about your website. In doing that, they look at two factors: how many people have links to your site (and what those links say) and also how important are the sites that link to your site. An important site of ‘authority’ that points to you is worth more than a whole list of unimportant sites. They also consider how old the links that point to you are, and a number of other factors about the value of the link and the context in which it is used.
In conjunction with this, the search engines are always looking out for websites that attempting to fool them into thinking that they are more important, more relevant or more popular than they actually are. Which is why the so-called ‘black-hat’ techniques quickly lose their effectiveness.
And so, to get to the top of the search engine lists you need to do two things:
1. Optimize your on-page factors. There is plenty of information online about how to do that. It is not difficult. But, in itself, it is also not enough.
2. Get lots of high-quality, one-way, relevant links to your site from as many other ‘important’ sites as you can.
How do you get people to link to you?
1. Create a fantastic website so that others just honestly want to tell others about your site.
2. Pay them to link to you – buy a text link, or offer an affiliate program.
3. Swap links with other websites – but reciprocal links are clearly not worth as much as one-way back-links and it is a lot of work to do this effectively anyway.
4. Provide them with fresh, unique content that adds value to their site in return for which they agree to post a back-link to you. Many sites are constantly looking for fresh, unique content. They get this content by traipsing through the article directories or by subscribing to article submission services.
Therefore, if you distribute articles to these directories, your articles will end up on both the directories themselves AND on the niche sites that pick up and use these articles. AND some of these sites are likely to be valuable “authority”-type sites. Of course, whether the article is used and by whom, depends on the quality of your article.
So, as you can see, this last method is the simplest and most powerful. It gives you hundreds or thousands of one way back-links, from relevant, niche sites, all for free. All you need is some way to get a different, unique, article to each of those directories and ezine publishers. Which is, of course, exactly what our software does.
But wait! We don’t stop there. The real power behind this method comes when you use it regularly. Preferably at least once a week. Imagine getting 200 to 1800 new permanent one way links every week! By the end of a year, you could easily have 50,000 or more relevant, quality, one-way links to your site! And you can connect the submission process to a timer to put everything on autopilot!
That is the real power of this system’s software and that is why it beats every other traffic generation and SEO system there is.
