PLR vs. Free Reprint Articles: Which is Best?
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.
