    Actually this program is one of many different programs I use for creating and checking content.

    Over the last few years I have been working on content creation ideas. Google keeps upping the anti for content writers, so I wanted a way to ensure I wasn't just wasting my time writing. In other words crossing keyword stuffing thresholds or just writing crap that people don't read. Also have spent considerable time experimenting with use of longtails, expert verbiage, etc. Some of my tools are tailor made for us, while others I bought to serve a specific purpose. All in the name of superior content.


    All of the content that appears on my realm of sites is written by us or hired content writers. When I submit content to article directories my strategy changes and I use more of my tools to measure and optimize. I believe the best content comes from people, but if I can plant seeds that grow from my own content...

    Although I am (EDIT Sp.) not willing to part with my special tools, I did not want DPer's thinking I am an a** for not sharing. The truth is, these tools in the hands of inexperienced users can result in a negative effect. So I am making a few (free) videos that will help those interested understand more about what and how I do it. If you like I'll post them here when they are completed?


    Cheers,

    H

    PS: I posted this one because th OP seemed a little upset about the accusation of being a content thief. If anyone else is in a quandary about a similar matter I don't mind (EDIT Sp.) providing an advanced analasys of docs or checking for duplicated copies for you. Just be aware I'll post them in public view.

    No problem at all, glad it was helpful.


    I didn't realize the background here. It seems there was/is some sort of previous dispute. The only similarities between the articles is you both choose to write about a similar topic. I am sure that happens a million times a minute online:)


    Cheers,

    Yes, I was given red rep twice by the person who accused me of copying her article. I was also cussed at and called names both in the open forum and in repeated PMs.

    Don't worry about red reps. I got one for "dishonest posting". I bend over backward to be honest. The day I have to resort to dishonesty is the day I quit Internet Marketing. The thread I was accused of it in is selling something I've successfully sold to people in other forums for a couple of months. Never, ever has ANYONE who ever bought my product said it was 'dishonest', nor has anyone else ever called my threads 'dishonest'.

    I suspect it was simply one of the folks who wanted a "free review copy" who didn't get one that gave the red rep.

    Red reps are as valuable as someone else's opinion. Might mean something, might not. If people can give red reps simply because they're mad at you, then they're pretty much valueless.

    Yeah I know what you mean. I wasnt really tooo worried about the red reps. I justs didnt like to be falsely accused and I certainly didnt appreciate all the "F" words and name calling.

    [Red reps are as valuable as someone else's opinion. Might mean something, might not. If people can give red reps simply because they're mad at you, then they're pretty much valueless.[/quote]

    My first red rep was someone who didn't leave a name and said simply "prices to high I think"

    Judging by the lack of grammar and the fact that they took time to red rep professional rates, I'd have to say the individual was a disgruntled "writer."

    Don't let red reps worry you. If you express any opinion at all you'll be sure to get some. You can't make everyone happy all the time, even if you are as honest as the day is long.

    I can see from your words that you are an honest person and by this you had nothing to worry about as long as you know where you are and what you are doing. Good luck to both of you.

    If you did not caopy, ignore it and get on with life..... There are people out there seeking cheap publicity by accusing others of copying their content.
