I think he did eventually go inactive for awhile, though to be truthful, I'm not sure if he's started it back up or not. Some folks might be gifted with PLR, and if they are that's fine. I don't know if I am or not since I never looked at any of the stuff I got. I think I know where it is on my computer, but I don't care about it. I'm having way too much fun doing it my own way.

Even if plagiarism wasn't wrong, it is really counterproductive to republish someone else article with serious editing. I often use other people's information and facts, but rewrite and revise it in my own voice. And I always add my own opinions to the mix as well. When your visitor reads an article or post that they have already read word for word on another site, you lose all credibility. So what have you actually gained by taking that shortcut? You have lost ground. Your friend would have been better off to let his blog go inactive for a while. As for PLR, it can be a decent starting place. But,if it was fit for publication as is, it would have already been used somewhere else. Substandard posts are almost as bad as plagiarized. Yes,there is a secret to success. It has always been called work. .-= Keith@Norman Rockwell Art´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.best-norman-rockwell-art.com/1926-puppy-love.html">Jan 17, Puppy Love, Norman Rockwell Saturday Evening Post Cover 1926</a> =-.

I'm not against anyone using PLR articles either, as long as they can figure out how to put them in their own words on the back end. Thanks for your thoughts, Typhoon.

One sold okay, the other not at all and I had to pull it. If you hit the right target you could possibly make a little change from it.
