Why You Should Rewrite Your PLR Articles
You may have heard that PLR (Private Label Rights) is the way to go to create content for your website, blog, articles, etc.
And it is.
Except that if you use the PLR content ’as is,’ you may be setting yourself up for duplicate content penalties from the search engines.
This happens when others use PLR content on their website, in their articles, or on their blog without rewriting it. If you do the same thing, the search engines are going to — guess what — find the same content on two different sites and ZAP! One or both of you are going to be penalized.
That’s why rewriting your PLR content is the best way to deal with this problem. It takes a little more work, but it’s a sure bet.
It’s difficult to know exactly how much to change, but even changing only 10% of the content can easily put you in the clear. Out of a 500-word article, that’s only 50 words — less than one paragraph over all. Pretty easy.
Tailoring content has another advantage. You can give your site a unique ‘flavor’ by modifying the PLR article to something that sounds more like how you would write.
Of course, you could avoid the duplicate content issue entirely by writing every article from scratch. But that’s time-consuming and not everyone has the interest or the ability. And starting from a blank page is tough! It’s a lot easier to re-write something than to write from just a topic idea. Changing a phrase here or there is easy and the writing that’s already on the page stimulates you to think of alternatives.
PLR content vendors vary a lot. I’ve found Niche Content Packages is one of the best quality PLR sites around. They’ve been online since 2005 and they hire the best professional writers to give you the best content.
PLUS … when you purchase one of their packages, you receive graphics specifically designed to go with your chosen topic. A nice little extra that’s not offered by everyone.

Re-writing PLR is very important. If you don’t you are at serious risk.
Let’s explore this…
First, if you don’t re-write PLR and you submit it to an article submission directory (e.g., EzineArticles.com) they might *can* you. That’s the last thing you want!
Second, if you use PLR articles on your blog, for example, Google might wipe out your site completely from their index. We’ve seen a lot of stories about people getting sent to the “supplemental results” — their blogs are sent into a black hole, forever. In short, Google doesn’t really like duplicate content. They will punish you.
So, PLR re-writing is very important learn all that you can. Fortunately, you can get help.

As a whole, PLR articles don’t really work for websites that want to stand out from the crowd. But that doesn’t mean they’re not valuable.
