Have you ever wanted to buy PLR articles, but hesitated because you were worried about duplicate content issues?

I understand how you feel. And I  understand your skepticism. I would feel the same way in your position.

Publishing PLR articles on your website just the way you got them can really affect your search engine rankings. And if you try to submit them to article directories, your article may get rejected. Article directories just don’t allow duplicate content.

So what’s the solution? As it turns out, there are several ways you can create unique content using PLR articles. Read on to learn more…

Combine two or more PLR articles to create a single unique article

This one is easy. Just take a portion from each article and put them together. Maybe add a few sentences here and there to keep the flow smooth.

Combing articles to create a unique one has an additional advantage that you can use this technique to create longer articles.

Try to look for a common theme. For example, if you take an article about Windows, another about Mac, and yet another about Linux, you can combine them and write an article that gives an overview of all the different operating systems.

Split an article into two or more longer articles

If you can combine articles, you can split them too, right?

Well, yes, technically. But then you will have to do some writing of your own.

What you can do is take a paragraph or an idea from an article and expand it into an article in its own right. For example, if you take an article about the top five ways of doing something, you can probably write a separate article for each of the methods covered in the original article.

Takes a bit of work, but hey, you end up with more number of articles than you started with.

Rewrite the article (or get someone else to do it)

If all your attempts at combining or splitting the articles to create unique content have failed, the least you can do is simply rewrite all of the PLR articles that you have.

Simply change the headline, the first paragraph, the ending, and a few sentences here and there. Should take you just a few minutes per article.

Or if you don’t want to spend the time rewriting the articles yourself, you can also outsource it to someone else on the cheap. Sites like elance or rentacoder give you access to a lot of writers who can rewrite your PLR articles.

Translate to some other language

Who says your PLR article must be used in the same language you purchased it in? There are millions of people online whose native language is something other than English. By translating your article in their language, you are not only creating unique content, but doing these people a great service.

Just be sure to ask a native speaker of the language to do the translation, and don’t use some online tool for it, or your content will look like gibberish! ;-)

Convert to audio or video

Converting your PLR articles to audio or video format will not only increase their perceived value, they will also give you a chance to make them unique as you go, without having to spend a lot of time.

You can do this with very basic equipment if you want to. No need to get too fancy. Just get a simple headphone with a mic, and a webcam, and a recording software, and you are good to go.

Convert the article to audio, and then back to text

Just put the article in front of you, start recording, and keep reading the article. But instead of repeating what’s in the article verbatim, you can keep saying each sentence in a different way than is written.

You can even expand each sentence into stories or examples, and add your own perspective here and there.

Once you have finished recording, you can transcribe it back and get a text version. If you are too lazy to type, or don’t have the time, you can use one of the transcribing services online.

Use the PLR Article Toolkit software (available from plr-packs.com)

The PLR Article Toolkit software can let you create unique content from your PLR articles packs in a matter of minutes or even seconds.

The toolkit will insert random snippets of text (that you choose) into your articles to make them completely unique. You can use this feature to insert quotes from people in your niche, or links, or bits of code, or anything else that you want.

And you can even point the software to a directory full or PLR articles, and it will automatically create web pages out of them. Just like that.

Solving Duplicate Content Issues with PLR Articles

PLR Basics, Rewriting PLR 8 Comments »

Private Label Rights articles are a great compromise between writing your own articles and publishing someone else’s articles. You can just write your name on the articles and you have content for your blog or website. You can even get articles for free or else very cheaply.

Of course there is a common problem that many people find with PLR articles: Duplicate Content.

Hundreds if not thousands of people will have the same articles that you have; only they will put their name on it. This means that many other people will see your articles and think of them as junk because your content is not unique and not original. This means that your PLR articles are useless, so you cannot use them for content on your website or blog.

But there is a way to solve this. Instead of just taking the PLR articles as they are and just posting them on your website or blog, you obviously need to alter them in some way so that they are unique and truly are your own content.

The easiest way to change them is known as “spinning” them. This means taking the article and changing the wording and some of the structure so that it is completely unique. Yes, it will have the exact same message as the original article, but it will be unique in the fact that it is worded differently than the thousands of other articles on the internet from the people who obtained the same article as you did.

This means that you will now have unique articles that you can post on your blog or website and people will see them and not view them as duplicate content.

Another thing you can do is while you are spinning your article you can remove parts that you do not agree with and add your own ideas into the article, making it even more unique.

I personally use an article spinner to spin my articles for me so I can save even more time, and you can use them as well. There are some free ones that you can find, although I have found them to be generally more difficult to use and not as effective.

But essentially you just need to remember that if you are using PLR content that you need to alter it so that it is not the same as thousands of others on the internet and you will not have the problem of duplicate content like many other people run into.
