Is it possible to run a successful adsense site by simpling using free reprint articles and good seo skills? What I mean is it worthwhile? Say for example I create twenty of these sites do you think in 6 months time with proper link building and SEO these sites could be getting decent enough traffic?
Unless you are one of the hundreds of newspapers Google loads into its news section with repeat the same AP article over and over and over again. More seriously, you will be better off creating some original content to balance out that other stuff. Originality keeps people coming back.
I don't think you will get banned; rather you would find yourself relegated to Supplementary results.
I wondered this as well. Has anyone ever setup a site with free articles to test this? It would be so easy, but I guess in all reality anyone and everyone would be doing this.
I don't think you'd probably see very good results with this type of site. I don't think you'd risk being banned, but ultimately, you'd be creating a "made for AdSense" site, and these do not do well in the SEs, good SEO skills or not. I also agree with just-4-teens that you would have a difficult time finding quality websites to link to yours, as well. Sam
