Post subject: Does this really help? Articles content on website
|
|

Hi,
I have seen some ads about softwares that will build website based on certain keywords by pulling non-copywrited material from other websites and then creating a website.
I am sure there are many by now. Will I get banned or rejected by Google because the content is going to redundant when so many people are using the same software with same keywords? Is anybody successful here by doing this??

I guess it depends on what software your considering. Scraping tools such as Traffic Equalizer or Directory Generator are going by the wayside and aren't really eithical...b/c they sort of steal content.
Now programs like Article Equalizer, Article Automator etc. generally go out to the Free article directories and pull in content that's themed based on the keyword you provided them.
Benefits!
-Content is free
-It's not spammy it's acutally useful to your visitors
Fall downs
-you're not the first to use it so it's tough to rank well without a ton of incoming links with free articles
-It's generallly themed around the generic concept of a niche rather then the more obscure topics that allow you to win with the SE's in affiliate marketing.
-The authors info and website are still attached to the article
-Slowly but surely the free article directories are beggining to shut these services down b/c they're overloading the web with this content and their servers with requests.
these are just my experiences and input, of course the end decision is yours, but still nothing beats your own content, and then throw in some Free articles/content to spice it up or add daily updates to your site. |

It helps as long as articles are represented in HTML rather then javascript (like in Directory Generator). That way it seems to SE that the page is actually updated manually. _________________ 75GB Bandwidth, 5GB, 99.99% Uptime, Unlimited Addons, cPanel - $9.95mo

Thanks for the response. These softwares go to free articles directories and pull put those articles. So, it looks like this may be useful if there is some original content and then some free articles.
Thanks

Another option to consider is to join a site that offers large batches of royalty-free articles that you can add to, edit, and use on your site.
(Disclaimer: I happen to own one of those sites, but it doesn't have to be mine. There are several good ones out there. Kim Standerline just opened a really good one that is devoted to health-related articles. Allan Wilson has one as well.)
The advantages are many:
1. You aren't scraping "content" from the search engines.
2. You aren't paying hundreds (or thousands) of dollars each month to have writers create content for you.
3. You don't give away links (and traffic) to your competitors in return for using their articles.
4. You can quickly make small edits to each article, add an original paragraph at the beginning and end, and have an article that is completely unique to you in a matter of minutes.
5. You can increase or decrease the keyword density in any way you'd like. You're not allowed to do this when using others' articles.
It's another option to consider, espeically if you have an interest in building a number of targeted niche sites quickly.
Hope this helps!

Mike,
I was familiar with your site before. I think one of your affiliates sent an email to me few weeks back. But anyway I see that it is full now... that was fast!
I still have a question:
1. About these royalty free articles - Is there a quick way of converting them into HTML instead of manually copying them over to html? I want to specify a template and have html pages created with the content from the these articles. Is this possible?
All,
These automated pages are created in html. But there is a need for me to create .php pages because I am adding some ads besides just google adsense. As far as web crawlers/ ranking are concerned, does it make a difference whether these pages are .html or .php? Which type is better? Any suggestions??
Thanks

Moderator,
I had originally posted this under Google Adsense forum. I posted this in order get feedback from Adsense experts. This is related to Google Adsense not about article writing and posting. I don't write articles so please post this in Google Adsense forum.

Yes. Here are a couple of options.
You can use a content management system (CMS). You have lots of different choices.
Another option is to use EZ Article Publisher. It's very simple and easy to use once you've spent about 10 minutes reading the instructions and setting things up. Maybe not even that long. It's suitable for people who want to speed things up and haven't bought a CMS. I reviewed it here:

I believe it doesn't make any difference to search engines. _________________ Allan Gardyne

Yes. If you stick to just one topic per page you help the search engines understand what the page is all about, so they're more likely to rank it highly. _________________ Allan Gardyne
