WP Unique

[MasterMind]

Never used it so can't say. I just add a paragraph of text to most PLR articles and even articles from Ezine articles or goarticles. It's within the TOS at the articles places so it's okay to do. Just put a 50 word or so paragraph at the top or the page and use it to introduce the article and get the keyword phrase in that you want. If you're really ambitious you could put another para of text after the article.

Takes about 2 minutes per article and guarantees unique articles that google likes and have your keywrods at the beginning at end where you need them. Some articles don't get to the keywords until over halfway through and that's not good..

I was wondering if anyone else has seen or used this program, WPUnique? http://www.wpunique.com/index.php

It installs very easily on my Blog and appears to be a great way to make PLR unique, but I'm wondering if it would be considered a Black-Hat program.

Yes I've used it

It doesn't work miracles, but it did get me top rankings for google news items I posted on a blog - sometimes I outranked the site that created the news that google syndicated

The author of the plugin insists it's not black hat - but you know google and their "don't do anything to rank your site" mantra

Although you say it works, I can't see how sticking a paragraph on top of an article that's on hundreds of sites already is going to work

If you yours is the first site seen by google to have the article, then maybe - provided some bigger site does not use the article as well

It's been established years ago that an article must be changed by a minimum of 30% before google thinks the article is unique

What the plugin does is change the source code - that's how it makes the article unique - it looks the same in a browser as the web browser converts it into standard text - but the underlying code is very different

There's nothing to stop you doing both - improving the article with keywords and making it unique with the plugin

Uhhhh.... Works? Works at what?

I have pages that have PLR aticles that are INTACT and I only add a few sentences (top - middle - bottom) and I am ranking number one for my target keywords - even though there are HUNDREDS and even THOUSANDS of pages with the same PLR ARTICLE on their pages.

If you follow my training you can do the same very easily with PLR. You don't need to spin it or try to trick Google by changing it 30%. Just add a few extra sentences with YOUR TARGET KEYWORD and drop it a few places on the page.

That's ALL you need to do!

I don't know what Google thinks - I do know what works to get a top ranking on Google and it's the RIGHT KIND OF LINKS that make my page rank on top when those other THOUSANDS are below mine.

Never heard that 30% rule before. Where is that documnted at Google? More internet myth, semi logical but not correct.

I've seen word for word articles indexed in the top 10 by google. Only difference between them was the titles and descriptions, body text was 100% the same. Lol, it's another good reason not to let google pick your description.

I've seen the same thing with articles I've submitted to many of the articles places. Sometimes two or three of them will make top ten. Again, way less than 30% difference but for sure different titles and descriptions.

If the 30% rules was true billions of documents on the web would never be indexed be cause they would be kicked for being duplicate content.

If I were ever to put two of the same documents on the same site I'd for sure want to make sure they were at least 30% different and I can think of cases where I might do that. That would guarantee both documents would get indexed and rank but I've never seen it make much difference on seperate sites on seperate IP addresses.

Post the exact same article on a blog and on a plain vanilla html webpage and they aren't even going to be close to the same to google. Duplicate content gets indexed all the time, all over the place. Lol, sometimes just changing all the it is to it's and it's not to it isn't and some other extra wordiness to contractions is enough to rank higher than the exact same article.

My experience says there is no 30% rule for dupe content, nor even a 5% rule. Unique is what google wants and unique is what we bith give them. You're omfortable with 30 and I know that works, I'm comfortable with a para or two and I know that works to. Lots of ways to do things on the net and a lot of the ways work for the people doing them.

Uhhhh.... Works? Works at what?

Works at getting unworthy posts like aggregated google news ranked higher than anybody else aggregating the same google news item

For your method of cherry picking and site building to target low competition search phrases, wp unique is not required

The plugin's author designed it to make copy and pasted articles taken from the article directories rank page #1

The 30% rule will not be anywhere in google's documentation, as they have a policy of not giving good ranking advice - they give lots of misinformation though

SEO's test everything, and share the info amongst themselves - the 30% rule has been proven to be enough to rank duplicate content

I was a full time SEO for over 10 years in tough markets like gambling, finance, real estate, etc. but you believe what you want

There are lots of variables that skew things - quality of backlinks etc. so some flexibility is needed - 10% may be good enough, other times 50% may be needed

If we can get a page #1 ranking on Google using a couple of mashed-up ezinearticles on a single web page, then we can relax the rules anyway, due to low competition

ROTF, those aren't to tough to rank in. The problem is google hates them and I have very little use or sympathy for those niches. If you really want to do SEO in a tough area, try adult.

I've been doing SEO for 14 years and also this has been my full time job for 14 years. If you worry about duplicate content then do the 30%. I don't worry about it so I do a paragraph or two with the exact same result.

Believe as you will but my personal experience says different. For anyone else who doesn't believe it just go to google and make some searchs on pages you find at article directories. You'll find lots of duplicate pages ranked or pages with less than a 5% difference.

Heh, do a search on some of the PLR article titles and see how many exact duplicates you come up with. Lots of lazy people make no changes to PLR articles at all, they just post them as they get them.

Never, ever trust what some guru says. Never ever trust what I say. As always, test what anyone says, whether guru, me or a newbie. Then you will know the truth.

Most gurus on the net don't give a damn if you make money or not. What guru's really care about is making money for themselves. There are damn few altruistic people on the net.

I have! - It was tough, but it was done by article marketing - but then ezinearticles took a close look at the articles and threw a lot of them out

It's hard to break old habits and thought processes - seems too good to be true that I can now get and keep page #1 rankings without any devious stuff

Got to shake off the old tough market thinking - I am now working under different conditions - cherry picking easy to get traffic, and not getting traffic to client's sites

[MasterMind]

Yeah, it is truly different working in some areas. I crack up when I see the guru's recommend don't try for keywords with more than 30K for competition. I love to find those when they pay well or have a ton of traffic but 30K just boggles my mind. I'm used to competition starting at 10 million and going up from there.
