Rewriting Articles For Increased Distribution Reach
Article Description:
============
Hey! I just figured out how to both promote my website and cut
down on my workload. I know what I will do: instead of writing
five articles a week to distribute, I will take a single article
and change it slightly to produce five different "versions."
What a great idea!

Rewriting Articles For Increased Distribution Reach

Hey! I just figured out how to both promote my website and cut
down on my workload. I know what I will do: instead of writing
five articles a week to distribute, I will take a single article
and change it slightly to produce five different "versions." What
a great idea! I will change the title also, so that there are
five different titles. Then, I will change the introductory
paragraph a bit and alter my word choice a bit. Whew! That is
going to be much easier than writing five separate and unique
articles each week.
Now, if only it were that simple.
What is wrong with the idea of writing an article and revising it
so that you can get five back links instead of one? Isn't this
what has made the business of Private Label Reprints (PLRs) so
popular? In theory, doing something like this could save a lot of
time and generate a great deal of content. Then, you could send
various editions of your article to different publishing
websites. But...
Many Distributors Will Prevent Duplication
One of the problems with rewriting the same article is that many
distributors have mechanisms in place to prevent the publication
of both pieces. Article distributors do not do this to harm your
business; in fact, these limits are in place to protect your
career. If you take the time to write an informative and helpful
article to generate traffic back to your site, you probably do
not want someone plagiarizing your work. This is why article
distribution services work to prevent people, even you, from
publishing an article very similar to what you've written.
Instead of being frustrated with the distributors, we should in
fact thank them for protecting our work. Some article
distributors run a code that will test five strings of data
against previously submitted articles; some only use one code to
match against, but they all aim to prevent duplication of
content.
If you don't use an article distributor-
on your own-then you don't need to worry about duplicate
content, right? Wrong. Imagine being a Webmaster who runs a site
that accepts article submissions. What are you going to think
when you get five articles that are obviously the same, with only
simple changes made? Do you think that, as a Webmaster, you would
publish these articles or delete the authors from your list for
safety purposes?
Webmasters and E-Zine publishers are looking for new and unique
content that will provide their readers with useful information.
When you revise an article and send it to them, you are not
giving them the freshness they look for. In fact, you are likely
to irritate your editors.
Credibility
Another reason not to submit a revised article is because it
takes away from your credibility as a writer or expert. Let's
say that a customer comes across one of your articles and loves
it. This reader thinks, "Wow, the author knows what he is talking
about, I will look for more of his work." The reader searches for
you on the Internet and reads a few more of your articles, only
to realize that it is the same information, altered only
slightly. Do you think this reader will convert to a sale on your
website?
More than likely, this reader will become frustrated because he
or she was hoping to learn more about you and your services or
product. Instead, they will see that your writings do not offer
unique information. Imagine buying a book from a respected
author. Imagine that, when the author puts out a new book, you
buy it, only to realize that they've rehashed the same
information for republication. Would you buy a third book from
this author? Would the writer seem a credible, knowledgeable or
trustworthy authority?
Revising the same article over and over again will likely end up
hurting your business. There is nothing more embarrassing for an
author than to be ousted (and rightly so) from a forum for
plagiarizing, even if you are plagiarizing your own work.
Quality Over Quantity
There are many reasons why it is a bad idea to submit multiple,
slightly altered versions of the same article for publication. If
you struggle with writing five articles each week, then only
commit to writing one or two and composing them to the best of
your ability. It is far better to go for quality than quantity in
the article reprint business. A customer will appreciate finding
a few articles from you that offer new and fresh information
rather than finding dozens written by you that effectively state
the same thing.
If you want to achieve both quality and quantity, you may
consider hiring a ghostwriter. This will keep you from facing the
loss of respect and credibility that often results from rewriting
a single article.
