The thread title says it all. Since when you re-write articles, and they pass CS, would they be considered as unique now? And in copywriting, would they be considered as legal? Thank you very much
Ehh, I guess it depends how much you actually rewrote them. If you added new info in addition to rewriting them. I guess they can be considered unique. Otherwise, I'd say no.
Yes to both questions. This is common with all magazines, and, online portals. Your favorite magazine(s), be it Men's Health, Stuff, Maxim, have rehashed articles. You think TOTALLY new, fresh articles can be produced on a continuous basis? Nope. And "copywriting" is not the right term.
Good Question, Believe it or dont, as the old saying goes, unique is unique, but there is a formula, and it involves characters, but only to a degree, so yes you can get away with some rehash, but in the long run unless, your writing to attract repeat visitors, I think your traffic will improve for a short time, then it just goes back down, while if you write say 10 to 12 original articles a month your value increases, just a thought or two.
It depends who is reading it. If it's the original author you have 'borrowed' from, he might not think it's unique. In fact, he may be p*ssed off. If it's Google, and u r over 30% or so, yes, they will regard it as unique. BTW, if by 'cs' you mean 'copyscape'... it's a toy for newbies. Its only real use is in tracking down plagiarised versions of your text, which you can do free by pasting sentences from your text into Google (in quotes).
Any writer worth $10.00 that uses copyscape as a measurement is very foolish. It is foolish. And the way you are view the article is wrong. Every article worthwhile has a heart, these are the keywords, The Powerwords are the valves and synonyms and variations of the keyword and PowerWords are the veins. You must reword the heart, with new, and new synonyms there are for the valves. Now when you rewrite it will have a new meaning. Otherwise you are merely rehashing the words around ending up with paper dolls, instead of unique personalities. Too put it in the simplest form. Most only give a tuneup, instead of changing the engine.
Rob, my 2c. The bigger question is, how would you like to be considered? As an original artist, to be emulated by your peers, or just one of the Christmas covers you find in Walmart's bargain aisles? Nothing wrong with either one, mind you. An original sometimes die hungry and alone, while the mass production writers ends up with the Bugatti's and the ladies (or the boys, not judging anyone, ok). Which is why people like John Keats are forever idolized by the non-conformist, struck by misplaced idealism - or is it?
I do not know about seeing John Keats in Walmart. I would consider it to a car, that each year, produces a new version for that year. Much of it is the same, but a new twist has been added. Other years it is hard to distinguish between the two, At the big car unveiling here in Detroit, it is always those that have made radical changes that get the most intention. Some people take two hours rewriting and produce little change. If I replace all the keywords and PowerWords with synonyms, and then a quick brush up, I have changed the engine and some body work. The end result is very unique.
I simply take PLR content that is from the niche I am targeting and completely rewrite it. By rewrite, I mean keeping nothing the same, simply using it as an idea for structure and theme - it's an instant writers block breaker. I then *properly* synonym spin my result (not the original PLR) before mass submission (mass submission does not include EZA and the other top 5 article directories - which receive distinct articles). Do this enough in the same niche (don't stop with one article), and you will get plenty of repeats and republishes.
I think it is not a good idea to re-wrote the articles because it is very near to the duplicity. Try to write the origination articles and use for your purpose it will surely help to you.
You can't agree with them both simultaneously, it's illegal. They'll come and take your kids away. I suggest you offer beer to perry, and cookies to dya.
There are very few original writers. and many so called masters of the subject- rewriting , clubbing, synchronising various articles.
