Don't Take Short Cuts with Content!!

Warning:

I had one of my Article Submission accounts suspended over the weekend. Why? A Shortcut, that's why!

In the interest of speed, I used a PLR Article as a template for an article I was going to write anyway. I mean, I had the idea for the article, it was a Valuable idea, and I know how to write without using crutches, but in the interest of speed and efficiency, I elected to use a "club" article that I recently got as a "template" for my article.

And I got my ASS handed to me. I mean, I rewrote it and everything, and thought I was creating a unique article, but it was Killed within HOURS, and my account was Suspended. And after re-reading the TOS of the site, rightfully so!

I have learned a valuable lesson here, and I hope you will too without having to go through the same thing: Duplicate Content WILL be discovered and get you in Hot Water. If you are going to modify PLR Articles for use on a website, you need to use a service like Secret Article Converter to do it with to be sure that you are going far enough with your mods.

But save that stuff for websites. Don't EVER submit a PLR or any other form of duplicate to an Article Service. They will SLAP YOU DOWN FAST!

The Bright side? The Article Service in question graciously reinstated my account after much consultation with them. As all my other articles were 100% original, they accepted my apology and allowed me a second chance, which they did NOT have to do.

I have learned my lesson- I hope you have too!

Peace,

Glenn
