Where to find good PLR articles

By Allan Gardyne | Published 12/20/2005 | Search engine tips , Building a website |

How to find private label rights articles for your website

PLR articles, or private label rights articles, are a good way to add useful, interesting, search engine friendly content to your website.

If you're building a string of websites, or a large site, writing a blog or distributing articles to article libraries, you need a lot of articles.

It's time-consuming and tedious trying to research and write all those articles yourself.

You can hire writers at places such as elance and RentaCoder, but if you've tried that, you'll know it can be done but it's not as easy as it sounds.

So you need a workable shortcut.

To help website owners in this dilemma, several websites provide well researched, solidly written private label rights articles.

These membership sites enable you to get hundreds of PLR articles for as little as 15 cents or 20 cents each.

They're a fantastic bargain. I belong to several PLR article sites.

You don't want to use articles that thousands upon thousands of other sites are using, so membership to these PLR article sites is usually strictly limited.


Rewrite for best long-term results

If you join some of these membership sites, I strongly recommend that you do at least a little rewriting.

You'll want to tweak and optimize the articles to help search engines find them. Often the articles have not been written with any particular keyword density in mind.

This is a good thing. It's means your articles will be unique. You can also add your own tone and personality.

Some webmasters in a hurry take a minimalist approach, leaving the article untouched but write a brief introduction and then add a brief comment at the end.

Others use RSS feeds to add content to the pages.

The more original and unique your approach, the more likely you are to have good long-erm results.

Some rewrite up to 60% of the articles and others play it safe, merely using the articles for inspiration and totally rewriting them.

Whatever system you use, it's much easier improving a ready made article than writing a brand new one entirely from scratch.


Good sources of PLR articles

Here are some good sources of private label rights articles.

(Some of these membership sites have sold out, but you can often put your name down on a waiting list.)

NEW! Food articles, recipes, etc. Every month, Wendy Cook will provide you with 30 new food articles, 30 new recipes, 5 product reviews, and a 5 to 10 page special report. You can use this special report as an incentive for people signing up for your mailing list, or as an incentive to buy something. Plus you get a professionally designed ecover graphic for your special report. You also get access to affiliate program recommendations and other resources to help you succeed with PLR content. I've seen inside this membership site and seen the quality. For anyone in the food niche, this is exceptional value.

Stefan Everaet provides very high quality articles each month, plus superb graphics. For example, topics covered have included weddings, web hosting, wine, credit cards, birds, dogs and cats. He provides not just articles but complete niche content packages. Stefan provides very high quality articles. I recommend this site. It's excellent value.

UPDATE: Now hugely improved. You can choose between several monthly subscription levels. For example, if you're interested only in  travel, you can spend your credits only on travel-related content.

Full details here
Get a discount by using this link

Real estate investor Lindsey Rae offers 50 real estate articles a month at a surprisingly reasonable price. The sale of each package is limited to 300 people. The articles, written by Lindsey and a team of writers, are sprinkled with well researched keywords. Lindsey tells you how often a certain key phrase appears in each article. You'll probably want to jazz up the articles, adding a little personality. There are lots of valuable keywords in this niche.

Daniel Turner and Marc Lindsay provide a whopping 440 niche articles a month (in each group), so you receive a fantastic supply of articles for your website or blog or autoresponder or whatever. Membership in each group is limited to only 200 people, so competition is strictly limited. These guys are professionals, providing a very good service, including a helpful forum. UPDATE: Huge improvements and new services are being planned, to make things even easier for you.

Bobbie McKee provides both PLR articles and PLR ebooks. Each month, you get 400 fresh articles spread across 16 hand-picked niches. You also get 3 private label ebooks including sales letters, 13 ready-made niche AdSense websites covering 13 topics, 13 website header graphics, and an unlimited domain hosting account. As well, you get access to a heap of ebooks and software with full master resell rights. There's a strict limit of 350 people per article set. As you'd expect with PLR sites, the quality of the writing varies in different niches. Most of the articles I examined looked good. This offer is good value.

Dave Markel
offers packages of good quality niche content articles at a bargain price. You pay only 75 cents per article. The sale of each package is limited to 300 people. Dave shows you samples of the articles. (He used to have a membership site and switched to providing packages of articles.) This is excellent value.

Kim Standerline covers in-demand health niches. Each month, she provides two complete health niche products written by a registered nurse, 25 private label articles, keywords research for each niche, a private forum, bonuses, and all sorts of useful assistance. Check out all the details on the site. If you're interested in health, you'll love this service.

Bryan Winters provides a huge article database. Members get unlimited access to over 40 niche categories and hundreds of topics. You also have access to niche content article packs and private label products with the sales letters already written for you. You can post "articles wanted" requests. You can get paid for writing articles. There is no restriction on membership numbers. The membership fee is modest.

Joel Osborne provides 150 new private label articles every month. The articles have never been used before. Membership is limited to 250 people. UPDATE: CLOSED.

Constant Content. Prices I saw varied. Some are free. Some cost from $5 to $20 an article. If you spend more and buy unique rights, the article is removed from the database. A counter shows you how many times the articles has been downloaded. New articles are added frequently. If you can't find what you're looking for, you can submit a request (2500+ writers waiting).

When you join any of these PLR article sites, be sure to read the terms carefully. They vary slightly from site to site.


How to avoid duplicate content filters

Search engines inevitably are getting tougher and tougher on duplicate content. If you ignore this fact, you risk seeing a whole lot of your work go down the drain.

If you buy PLR articles never simply use them unchanged. That would be asking for trouble. Here's a good tool you can use to help you rewrite articles to avoid duplicate content filters.

For best long-term results, ALSO do your own research, add your own comments, add your own tone and personality, and make your site genuinely USEFUL so that people will want to recommend it.

Thanks for the great article Allan! If I may, I'd add two more PLR sites to your list:
http://www.fresh-niche-content.com
http://www.easyplr.com
I'm not affiliated with either site, but they are both great resources for quality PLR articles.
thanks,
Joe Morelli

I just checked out Mike Long's site, and it does NOT appear to be sold out. Unless he doesn't tell you that it is until after you've filled in the credit card info.

[It's normal for new places to become available occasionally on PLR sites as some members drop out. Allan.]
Comment #3 (Posted by Tiffany Dow) |
I launched after this article, but just wanted everyone to know I offer 5 for $5 PLR Article Packs at http://www.PLRMiniMart.com - and it has everything from Work at Home on the 'Net to Audiobooks and Baby Care.
Thanks!
Tiffany

Great article. Here is another site for your list http://mydiscountebooks.com
You can get tons of private label rights ebooks and software. It's also updated regularly with new products. The ebooks can even be broken down into many articles and reports for lots of good content.
Comment #5 (Posted by Justin) |
I second everyone's thoughts about it being a great article. I run an article site also (www.nicheprivatelabelarticles.com) and this will be an interesting article to share with my subscribers.
Thanks

I offer articles, reports and autoresponder packages targeted to the growing self improvement industry at http://www.plr-direct.com. This niche is really hot! In the coming months, I'll be adding natural health and parenting articles to the site as well.
Comment #9 (Posted by Juan) |
I just was wondering if you are allowed to translate to other languages when obtaining private label rights.

[There isn't one set of rules for all businesses which sell private label rights. You'll need to read the rules each time. However, private label rights normally means you can rewrite the articles in any way you like. That would include rewriting them in any language. Great idea! Allan.]

I recently launched www.financeplrcontent.com, offering well-written, informative, quality content focused on finance-related keywords. Ten articles are available for $15.

Hi, I am in prelaunch of a new plr article website called www.nichearticlesmonthly.com. It will will start off accepting 100 members and will group to 500 max. The articles will grow concurrently with membership growth.
Comment #12 (Posted by Sirius Lin) |
I'd like to point out my own membership site: http://www.plrwarriors.com . Offering at least 800 PLR articles each and every month, with numbers slated to go up in the future :)

Comment #15 (Posted by Hasan Saleem) |
Wouldn't these be considered as duplicated content?

[Quite likely, yes. I believe you should rewrite PLR articles or hire someone to rewrite them. Do some research, add some new facts or comments, add your own personality etc. There's work involved, but it's faster than starting totally from scratch. Allan]

Hello!
Jamie Rankin and I have recently launched Pet PLR (www.petplr.com), a membership Web site that offers high quality content on all types of pets - ranging from dogs and cats to the exotic.

Hi, My name is Paul, and I've just launced a new article spinning service at http://www.spunwrite.com. No spinning software is used -- all articles are hand-spun by pre-qualified writers, for less than 1.5 cents per word. Oh, and they're ready in just HOURS!
Thanks for checking us out!

Anyone knows any good, affordable PLR rewrite services? Thanks

[Our affiliate forum would be a good place to ask this question. Allan.]
Comment #19 (Posted by Lorraine) |
I went ahead and tried many of these. Your mileage may vary.

First: Plan to either rewrite or pay for the articles to be rewritten. If everyone rewrites 50% or more of the articles there won't be huge penalties for duplicate content -- and perhaps by having them rewritten the readers will learn more. I aim for at least 60-70% .. and often end up with a 100% rewrite. Note: rewriting is MUCH cheaper (and easier!) than starting from scratch.

Second: If the original article is fluff -- yours will be too -- you might as well be writing from scratch.

Mike Long's articles and www.nicheprivatelabelarticles.com seem to have the same topics for the month. I didn't subscribe to the latter -- and wasn't happy with the quality of the former -- though the price is so low -- I suppose I shouldn't complain.

I've been extremely happy with the quality of articles on plrpro. Their articles are much more expensive than either of the 2 above sites -- but in general the quality has been much higher. They offer bunches of support.

niche-content-packages.com (the first package that Allan recommends) is perhaps the best if you want to pick & choose your content -- and only get a little bit at a time. If you are wanting articles for a site you already own and the subjects match -- they are great. Allan's discount is great (Thanks Allan!) I often use their articles to supplement the plrpro articles. Good luck!

[Thanks for the valuable feedback. Allan.]

Hi,
You suggested "secret article converter" as a tool to work with PLR articles. I'm interested. However, there is no info on their website about the program itself. I use a macintosh. I have written to the support people at "secret article converter" asking if this is a web based program or something that will run on a mac. But I have not heard from them. (Not very reassuring). Do you have any info on this program?
Mel

[Jeff has someone operating a help desk so you should have received a reply by now. The program is web-based so, yes, Mac users like you can use it. Allan.]

Great article! I have written a short and basic way in re-writing PLR articles. With practice, I have explained how to write short articles in about 10 or less. Didn't think it was possible, but it has worked great for me.

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. That's why we've created a list of 101 Things To Do With PLR Articles designed to jump start your brain and get you out of that PLR box.

Our member site www.viralniches.com has gone to a totally free membership site there is tons of stuff there and
it's all free. check it out. We now have a second membership site Dirt Cheap PLR www.dirtcheap-plr.com

Comment #38 (Posted by Arman) |
Allan, the tool you said can make articles unique (http://www.associateprograms.com/article-converter) is practically useless for me. I've been using microsoft words synonyms feature to make my articles almost unique and it's doing it better than that tool. Why are you endorsing it? Do you use it yourself?

[Thanks for the feedback. I tested it and it worked OK for me. I prefer to do rewrites the slow, old-fashioned way, by hand, but many people are looking for faster answers. Allan.]

Hi,
