Comments on: I’m Down on Cookie Cutter Adsense tm Web Sites http://www.mikeliebner.com/internet-marketing/im-down-on-cookie-cutter-adsense-tm-web-sites/ The Creative Power of Mike Liebner Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:03:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Scotland http://www.mikeliebner.com/internet-marketing/im-down-on-cookie-cutter-adsense-tm-web-sites/#comment-50352 Scotland Wed, 13 Feb 2008 15:08:56 +0000 http://www.mikeliebner.com/internet-marketing/im-down-on-cookie-cutter-adsense-tm-web-sites/#comment-50352 I had a very large site that I places about 10,000 articles on. It had a PR of 5 but was immediately banned by Google for duplicate content. I spent ages on Google's forums and the replies were always the same - articles available elsewhere. I would strongly advise against cookie cutter sites. Furthermore I strongly suggest that PLR articles are used as templates for an article. I have done this on another site and mixed in a few raw PLR articles with great success. Even adding images to content works great. If you are unable to use PLR content as a template it should really have a few changes made to it. The true potential of PLR articles from the likes of Article Underground is achieved when the article is used as a basis for an improved article or one which is 100% unique. Such articles save masses of time in writing as most of the content is there ready to be rewritten and added to. PLR content is great, brilliant in fact, but only if you use it correctly. I got badly burnt with my first attempt but I have more than recovered my expense from the lesson learnt and I still subscribe to PLR producing sites ;-) I had a very large site that I places about 10,000 articles on.

Why put up exact duplicate pages when you are just leaving one big footprint for Google to penalize you with. I was building some arbi sites in the past, but these too have gone by the wayside so that is why I joined Article Underground. I think AU gives everyone the chance to build some decent websites with minimum time invested. Ted That’s why I never went the way of the cookie cutter adsense route.

Admittedly I have bought one Instant adsense template package. Joel Comm's product. The upside with that product, and this is something all you out there who have bought these other types of products are going to have to do. Is that his product shows you how to go about editing the template, the css file and a bunch of other things so that these templates are at least a bit more white hat. I dont use the content provided by his product. Why?, because I did a search just you did and found the exact same or similar problem. Granted there are bunch more ways to drive traffic at them other than ranking organically, but the problem remains that they are or could be duplicate content and so set off the se filters, on google anyways. Nice to see someelse pointing out the problem though mike Cheers and beers from canada Shane I think what’s even worse than that mike, is that people are actually quite willing to SELL that sort of product.
