Did you ever try to build a site quickly by using gobs of PLR articles and changing the content..? what are the drawbacks besides duplicate content penalty from google? what if there is a plan at some point to change these articles. I want to try and whip a few out quickly. just want to hear some feedback. NOTE: I just plug along at a conscious pace on my personal sites for a few weeks/sometimes months with unique content.
I think the MAIN drawback is the duplicate content. One thing you can do is simply re-word a bunch of the articles, and that should help you generate unique content. It will take some extra time, but it is worth it.
