I saw an ad which promised to provide approx 100-200 pages each for 150 different types of websites topics starting with 'Acne' to 'Yoga'. Assuming that this guy sells tha same content pages to 1000 webmasters, whats the use at all, as all these 1000 sites will be competing for the same keywords? Does not sound like a useful thing to do. What do experts feel?
The only thing i would spend money on is a good template. Then write original content and you will be fine
It is not so much competing for the same keywords you need to worried about, it doesn't matter how you do your site you will always be competing for keywords with other sites in your niche. No here the problem is duplicate content. The content that this guy is providing is most likely heavily saturated on the internet already and this becomes a problem as the search engines don't like it and penalize your site becuase of it.
