    You should be ashamed for asking such a question. This would obviously be duplicate content if your intentions about this are true. The only free content is the kind that you create on your own originally.

    Free content will not bring you any success. Read some stuff and come up with your opinion. And if you can't write it yourself, better get it written by someone else!

    I only really know of Wiki and Ezine mainly because all my content is found from other places and re-written by myself so its all unique.

    You can get content from anywhere. All the big news sites do it and no one minds that its dupe content. But you got to make it yours. At first I was annoyed that someone had used my content in their own blog and tried to pass it off as theirs, but after I thought about it, what is there that is really new?

    After the first person tells the second person its not new anymore. So whatever you want on your blog you will find on the net. But if you are going to use someone else's content you have to do it the right way. Give proper credit, give a link, and be yourself. Nothing is more annoying than reading verbatim the same info on four different websites. But look at all the sites that get their news from the AP wire including newspapers. Just don't try to pass it off as your own. That would be wrong.

    You know, I've been asking myself this question lately. What motivates anyone to set up blogs and do all that work if they're not going to use original content? It's not like you're going to have much financial success with dupe stuff anyway. Since the search engines won't treat you kindly and people won't be interested, it's not like you're going to get a lot of traffic, and poor traffic = no earnings. So what's the point? Is it like a fetish of some sort? :)

    If you run enough of these autoblogs, you can get yourself a nice payday.

    If you want to get free articles and will post them on your blogs. You will not get SEO benefits from them

    Create some content yourself. That is the only way!

    Possibly. Sounds like a pretty inefficient and extremely boring way to make money, though.

    Yea, but it is easy and they think they will get rich. :rolleyes:

    It is always better to create the content yourself. Of course that depends on what you are looking for. If you want the quick buck with no long term benefits, stealing from others is much easier. If you are looking for something you can take pride in and will end up making money over the long term, doing it yourself is the way to go.

    I get 40-50 track backs from some of my top articles from these sort of blogs and if I check in a week or so, many are suspended or shut down.

    The ones who use duplicate content or automatic blogs are the same ones who always chasing the next big thing instead of coming up with ideas for themselves. Read the many threads of questions like "How do I make money" and "What niche do I use for a blog." Those are the same people who are trying to use someone else's ideas to get rich. Of course, they always show back up in a couple of months for the next idea.

    How about buying plr package and posting articles one by one?
    Its dupe content so you will need to rewrite them.
    I don't see anything to be ashamed of...
    I'd say a hell lot of blogs post stuff thats nowhere near original. Like news leeched from news companies... But thats just IMHO
