What does PLR mean for Pete's Sake?

It’s so close to New Year’s Eve going out time and I decided that I would quickly post for you before I get changed and go out.  My kids are away overnight and so for the first time since I became a mother, I get to go out on New Year’s Eve – WOW!  It used to be my favourite night of the year – and I haven’t done it since 1994!!

Anyway – I digress.  I keep being asked about PLR – what does it stand for and what is it?

PLR is an acronym for Private Label Content.  What Private Label Content is, is a series of articles that you can purchase, which you can then use as if you have written them.  Purveyors of PLR sell you the right to publish these articles as your own.  In the main, PLR articles are frowned upon as what tends to happen is that thousands of people buy the same PLR articles and then try to submit them to sites as their own and obviously, the people who evaluate each article aren’t daft, when they see the same article repeatedly, they know it isn’t written by the author who submitted it!

Some PLR sites are very good though.  Here is one. The reason that this one is better than the majority is because they don’t sell unlimited copies of their articles.  They sell a finite number of each and they have a wide variety of topics.

So, now you know!

Happy New Year everyone.  Be safe and let’s hear it for 2010 – our year of ACTION!!!!
