People who use Private Label Rights content are delighted to see more PLR sites appearing. The explosion of such sites has, however, given rise to a new problem - the overall quality of the articles users pay for. Good (and reliable) writers are snapped up fast and given ongoing work. Regrettably, some PLR site owners seem to be only concerned with getting a batch of articles uploaded no matter what the quality.

Competition, as we all know, is a good thing. Quite a number of PLR users are now making a practice of signing up to check out the quality of what's on offer in a new site. If they like it, they stay. If they don't - they vote with their feet, or more appropriately, with the 'cancel this subscription' option at PayPal.

As a subscriber to a PLR site, don't feel that you have to accept the articles you get, no matter what the quality. You are entitled to get articles and/or ebooks that have been proofread and edited to correct grammar and spelling. It is the responsibility of the PLR site owner to check that the articles are of an acceptable standard (or to hire someone to do this for them).

PLR users expect to have to tweak and change an article to create unique website content. They should not, however, have to edit every article. We all expect an error to creep in here and there - but an entire batch of articles written by someone whose first language is quite obviously not English is not acceptable. Nobody wants to have to copy-edit every one of 20 articles before turning them into an e-book.

If you are not satisfied with the quality of the PLR content, the first and most obvious option is to cancel your subscription. However, you would be doing everyone a favor if you took the time to contact the site owner to explain why you are not happy. Copy and paste a few examples from the articles to demonstrate the errors.

In the past, PLR site owners have sent back batches of articles to be corrected and/or rewritten when they are not satisfied with the job. In extreme cases, they cut their losses and just hired a new writer. Any PLR site owner who wants to build a profitable and well-regarded business will be interested in working with you on this - they don't want to lose customers.

If you can't get any satisfaction, move on. Sample the content of several sites. Ask for recommendations from friends or other publishers before you sign up. (Look for more than one satisfied customer - never forget that some reviews are there solely to get you to sign up via the reviewer's affiliate link.)

Different sites offer different things and finding a site to suit your needs may be difficult. Some sites offer articles and complete e-books, sales letters and well-produced graphics. Others provide only articles and a few bonus products.

If you are a competent graphic designer and know your way around programs like Photoshop, graphics may not be important to you. (Indeed, you may prefer to create your own graphics so your site looks different to everyone else's.) Some sites offer 'extras' like web hosting and autoresponders, plus ready-made AdSense sites. If you are just starting out, you may like these all-in-one solutions.

Be sure to check the following when looking for a good PLR site to join:

- What you get for your monthly subscription - articles, e-books, e-courses, AdSense sites, graphics and sales letters.

- The quality of the articles that are available - general style, grammar and spelling.

- Is the content original (not copied from some other source)?

- The regularity with which content is posted. (Check out the forum, if there's one available. Are there constant complaints or queries about when each month's content will be available?)

- The range of topics covered. You will find that some sites specialize in one subject area, while others cover a broad range of topics. Are you using enough of the monthly content to make it worth your while? There's not much point in being able to access 200 articles a month if you can use only five of them.

It's common for PLR users to belong to more than one site. An example: $200 a month spread between four to six sites comes to only $2,400 a year - which is an excellent business investment compared to the cost of hiring your own writer. Well-written, carefully-edited PLR articles are usually well worth the monthly fee. Take the time to assess the content of any PLR site - and stay with the ones that believe in quality control.

So you want to add content to your website or blog? But it takes you hours to come up with an idea and produce an article worth reading? One way to solve that problem is by using ?private label articles?. These are articles that are written by others and then sold without the authors name attached to it. As the new owner of these articles you are free to use them however you want. You can use them on your own sites, you can attach your name to them as the author and you are free to change them to suit your needs.

Sounds pretty good so far but there are things you should watch out for. You can obtain these articles through a collection of articles or through a membership site that gives it's members new articles each month. While you can certainly create a lot of content with these they are not the only answer.

Good original content comes from articles you create yourself. No one else has used it or abused it. PLA articles can be like a bad relative; you never know when or where it will show up. Even if an article is ?limited? to 200 members, that is 200 members that are using the exact same material. If you are buying a collection of articles, chances are they have been around for a while which means even more people have been using them.

Any article you are thinking of using do a google search on it. Search ?article title? and see what comes up. You might be surprised. Some of these articles have been around for 20 years or more! Back before the internet in the good old mailorder days you could buy packages of articles that you could resell. These same articles are still floating around.

So do PLA articles have any value? Absolutely! They can be a time saver if you need to add new content to your site. They are a great starting point for generating ideas and adding to your own articles. You can slice and dice them anyway you want. If you want to make them your own there are a couple of things you need to do. The first is change the title. Most marketers are too lazy to even come up with a new original title. So theirs will get lost in the 200 other articles out there with the same title. The second thing is change the content 40% or more to make it different from the original. Read through it a few times and it won't be hard to add a sentence here and there to make it more readable. Most articles are cranked out pretty fast and leave something to be desired in readability. There are software programs that will do this for you. Some are better than others. Some may leave the article totally unreadable and making no sense at all.

You may find an article you like but it is not about your subject. You might be able to do a simple find and replace to change the content. For example you might find an article about buying a used car. But you want an article about buying a used boat. Simply find every ?car? and replace it with ?boat?. Then clean up the article and there it is. Microsoft word can do that in seconds.

PLA articles can work wonders and as long as you don't get lazy like the other 98% of marketers you can use them to your advantage and you will come out ahead of the pack.
