Should You Use Other Peoples Articles in Your Blog

I think everyone understands the importance of keeping fresh content coming into your blog on a consistent basis. At times this can be difficult to do and brings up the question, should you use other peoples articles in your blog?

My opinion is that you are better on a consistent basis to post short articles of 200 or 250 words of your own, as opposed to using other peoples articles.

Maybe once in awhile if you come across a really good article you would want to post it in your blog and give credit to the author.

Because blogging can be excellent search engine bait it is important that you target a specific keyword phrases with fresh content of your own. This will help your blog posts to create traffic from the search engines as well as social directories if you bookmark to them.

Joining a private label rights program can be a way to come up with a fairly unique content. Infogoround.com is one example where you could take articles from them and post them on your blog if you did not feel like writing that day.

This would be better than going to an article directory and taking an article that is being used by other bloggers, webmasters, or e-zine publishers.

The other thing on this is 200 to 250 word articles are not hard to write. If you approach your blog articles and try to write them this way you will not feel as overwhelmed when you sit down to write.

You can get good article ideas at article directories, or discussion forums, and then quickly write a short blog post that will do the trick.

Jeff Schuman and I disagree a great deal on what is possible on your blog. Yes, you can use other people’s articles. In fact, getting articles from article directories is better than going the PLR route. If Mr. Schuman didn’t think so then why does he offer his offers through article directories? This particular article was picked up at one.

PLR articles make you have to rewrite in order to obtain original content benefits. If you’re going to rewrite an article then why not just write it from scratch? It takes about the same amount of time, or in some cases even less to write an original article. He does have a point, though, when he says that a 200-250 word blog post is easy to write. You can read articles in the article directories and write a fresh, original article on the same topic very easily. As long as you are not copying verbiage verbatim then you aren’t guilty of stealing content. It’s just like rewriting a PLR article, only easier. You are actually writing from scratch your very own original article.
