Confused About Using PLR Articles?

Since I mentioned the Private Label Rights, I've had some emails from people who are confused about how to use PLR articles.

It's easy, you just post them wherever you need fresh content.
Just like when we ghostwrite articles for you, you own the right to rewrite, change, distribute, publish under your own name or resell your articles. They are yours. The only difference between PLR articles and keyword content articles that you order from us is that there is zero waiting time. You pay, you download, you use. The number of PLR articles in each set is limited however so you can keep your exclusivity on the web.

Another great way to use PLR articles is to rewrite them (also sometimes referred to as "spinning"); I know, I know, you're saying, "But I bought articles because I don't write my own material" and that's the case of 99.9% of our clients - however what you can do is change an opening paragraph, add a sentence or two to make an article refer directly to a product on your site and link to it or otherwise replace a keyword phrase with another hot keyword phrase.

Here's an example using a PLR article paragraph:
"If you're interested in finding ways to make your small room
appear larger,an old standby trick of many interior designers
is to use a mirror or two on the walls to give the appearance of
more space in the room. You can also use lighter colors in your
interior decor as it gives a room a more spacious feel, darker colors
tend to make a room feel smaller ."

And here is the same paragraph with an added bit to make it specifically address a product:
"If you're interested in finding ways to make your small room
appear larger,an old standby trick of many interior designers
is to use a mirror or two on the walls to give the appearance of
more space in the room, such as the XYZ Mirror.
You can also use lighter colors in your interior decor as it gives
a room a more spacious feel, darker colors tend to make a room feel smaller ."

See how easy that is?
That's one of the things that makes using PLR articles so easy to do.
You can make and every article read as though it were written just for the niche market on your website. One sentence or comment can do it.

Our private label rights articles will be available starting in January and they will be very different from what is currently available. I wanted to put together something affordable, useful and limited in number so anyone using them will get real benefit. Join the mailing list on our PLR page and get the updates and I'm thinking about giving everyone on the mailing list - early entrance to the PLR articles first.

The Great Thing About Being a Freelance Keyword Ghost Writer.......

The bar none coolest thing about being a writer is that I have to research what I write about and I learn so many cool things about the most common everyday things.

I was writing for a cell phone blog today and when I was looking up keyword phrases for search volume and blah, blah, blah you know the drill - I kept running across "mosquito ring tone"...which intrigued me. Did people actually want that high-pitched annoying sound on their cell phones?
I was wrong - it's not just a ring tone at all.

Here's a snipped from freemosquitoringtones.org :

What is the Mosquito Ringtone?

The short version, A tone outside the audible range of hearing of most people over 30. This means that you can get phone calls and receive text messages in class or school without teachers hearing it. For more in-depth information on how the mosquito ringtone works, please see the Mosquito RingTone FAQ. For information on how to get the ringtone on to your phone, see our Mosquito Ringtone How To Guide.

A ring tone teachers & parents can't hear!

So that's it in a nutshell - the tones are available for a free listen on the website - can you hear them?

Just a thought

so true - sometimes you just gotta....

What the Heck is PLR Content or PLR 101

Since our announcement the other day we are putting together a real hoss daddy of a PLR section for people to use, I've gotten a few emails from people wondering what exactly PLR content is and basically why they should use it.

Besides being economically smart (the article sets are less than you'd pay to get custom written content) you own the work 100% upon payment just like having articles ghostwritten.

So, here is a little PLR 101 for you (from our PLR section) :


What the heck is PLR Content?
Private label rights or PLR content is growing rapidly in popularity as it gives you not only original content - you own it!

When you purchase a set of PLR articles, you have full latitude to do with them as you please. You may change them, sell them, publish them on your webpage or blog or use them to create your own ebooks to promote your business. Brand them with your own company name and sell them as your own creation - and when you buy them from us - we won't tell - our clients are confidential!
The only limit for how to use your PLR content is your imagination.

Why are only a limited number of sets available?
As you know, Google (or any search engine) doesn't like duplicate content. By keeping the number of sets down, your sets can be considered exclusive on the web.

Are these articles written by outsourced people outside the USA?
A very valid question. While we think America is a groovy little melting pot - we don't outsource writing-ever. Our own staff of writers research and write every set of articles that we make available so we have total control over our PLR products from start to finish.

What if I need niche topics I don't see available on your site?
With the ever evolving nature of the Internet, the hot mesothelioma keywords of today will give way to lemon law and other hot topics. If you have a market you want content for, just use the handy form that is available on every page of our PLR section to request a topic. We will have the set up within 5 working days or less.

Want to Know How to Get Those Subscribe Buttons On Your Blog?

Want more readers to your blog? Let people subscribe and put your blog feed in My Yahoo, My MSN, My AOL, blah, blah, blah you get what I'm talking about.
If already know html/xml - no biggie to do.

However if you don't there is an easy solution for you.

Go here http://www.toprankblog.com/tools/rss-buttons/

And then you will need 3 pieces of information.
1- Your Blog Name
2- Your Blog URL
3-Your Blog Feed URL (usually URL + atom.xml )

Choose default setting to start and the cut and paste the code into your template.
You may have to play around a little and keep hitting "Preview" to get the look you want.

But the result will be roughly like this:

R|Mail


Except it will be in a straight line down the page - great for a side column on your blog.

Simple? You bet.

Elance Discontinuing Their Select Membership - But Do You Qualify for a Premier Membership?

Elance is one of the few places I would tell people it's okay to pay for a membership because I have connected with very cool clients through there and we still do business today. I have been with Elance a long time and only got hosed by one person-ever. That's a great ratio in this biz.

When I got up this morning, SKinney was going to go work out (he is way too motivated in the morning) and I said I didn't want to - I wanted to do some work and have a cup or three of coffee. So first thing is first, open ye olde email and see if any fires occurred overnight I need to put out first thing and I got this email from Elance.

Dear keywordcontent, Thank you for using Elance. As of December 4th, the Elance Select program, as you know it today, will be discontinued. While we know the Select program was popular, offering many benefits such as restricted access to Select projects, profile differentiation, and a generous portion of bids, the only criteria to become a Select provider was a higher membership fee. Unfortunately, the Select seal indicated a level of quality that just didn’t have much weight behind it. To address this, we are excited to introduce the Premier Program - a new merit-based program that incorporates quality and participation as a requirement for membership. We encourage you to visit the Premier Program overview page for more information. And, if you haven’t done so already, check out the new memberships available December 4th by clicking here now. We truly appreciate your business. Sincerely, Jon Diller VP, Provider Network & Services www.elance.com

Premier membership requirements are here: http://www.elance.com/p/help/provider/premiermembership.html

They made what I would call a good move. Effective December 4th. Because basically (like their letter said and I wholeheartedly agree) the Select Membership gave a false impression that you got a higher quality writer when the only criteria was that you pay something like $69 a month instead of $20 or so. So they are raising the bar and killing off the Select Program.

However, I mentioned this to a writer friend of mine and he flipped out. He has nothing verifiable other than he's one of the best writers I know. He graduated high school - started writing straight away and never stopped. He's a great copywriter, ghostwriter and keyword article creator but he has no verifiable credentials other than a virtual stream of very happy clients and the fact he lives a very comfortable lifestyle afforded by his skills to attest to what he does and does well.

So Elance may lose some good people too in this change.

Want to Know Exactly Who is Visiting Your Website for Free?

If you have a website and you want to track your visitors, you can do so silently through the use of Google Analytics.

There is a very simple script that you put every page of your site that you want to track and you can see some interesting information about your visitors. Including the city and state the visitor is located in, their user defined settings, what browser they use, how they connect to the Internet, their screen colors, screen resolutions and if they have java and flash support. You can see what pages they visited and how long they spent on each page. Also, if the visitor or new or returning is also noted.
The Map Overlay feature is really handy - it lets you see via a world map where your visitors are coming from.
The one displayed in Google Analytics is a lot bigger than the example you see here.

You can click all the way down and see exactly where someone that visits your site is if you get a number of visits from one particular person repeatedly you can watch to see if they are considering using your product or services or if someone is being an annoying stalker :) .

The Traffic Referral feature is also a great feature. It shows where your visitors are coming from and how the found your site. Whether it was from a direct request, organic results or a referral from another site. Also the keywords used to find your website are also noted so you can use those in your SEO and work towards elevating your website's relevance to those keywords.

If you want to find out more about your visitors and how to better your conversion rates, check out Google Analytics and learn how to better sell your services through the power of information.

Private Label Rights Articles- Coming soon!

Fall is definitely giving way to winter here in Ohioland and I'm a Texas girl and I really don't do well with the chilly factor, maybe someday I'll acclimate.

I wanted to tell you something exciting we're working on, I have heard from numerous clients for a long while and especially over the past year - how they need niche market content but all that they seem to buy is either rehashed content that's already out there OR worse, it was written by people who did not speak English as a first language (which leads to such wonderful phrases as," I am for to be telling you with absolute sincerity that fine dining in Miami is best when you wear your fine clothing - clothing is a must when fine dining...).

So my writers and I have put together a huge list of the niche markets we write the most and we are going to release limited edition PLR (private label rights) articles. We are going to limit these to 100 sets per topic and then close it out to keep everyone's content exclusive and original.|

What can you do with PLR content? You can post it on your website, blog, article directories, add a sentence or two and make the article refer directly to your own products and services, link from your PLR articles to your products and services on your website and you can also use them in ebooks to promote your site. You own all rights and you may even resell them. You own the rights to your set to do with as you darn well please.

We're also doing something else I haven't seen done - we are allowing people to request niche markets they would like added to the site. I'll keep posting updates as we get closer to the launch and in the meantime, feel free to go ahead and request a PLR topic that you'd like to see.

Get on our PLR mailing list to stay up to date on the launch and when new sets are released and as for me - right now, I need ice cream!
