You writing articles for your blog… and writing and writing. A day comes when you will wonder if you could add a few articles that are not original. Could you run right over to a free reprint articles website… grab a great article and publish? Sounds like a great idea doesn’t it?
Well… Yes and No. A significant portion of your web content should be original.
There are many really good and informative publishers who have built websites almost entirely with free reprint articles. While there isn’t anything wrong with creating archives of quality information and profiting from it, this approach will not win you long term followers.
Search engines know when you have original content and when you are using content that exists elsewhere. There is growing evidence that preference is given to websites that contain more original content.
Not to mention – if your goal is to establish yourself as a resource of value; your readers will expect you to express your knowledge and original opinions.
Is there a place for Free Reprint Articles?
Sure there is.
If you find high quality content that shares the information you want your target market to benefit from, by all means use it on your website.
You can keep the focus on you and what you have to offer by creating article introductions and closing comments.
Position these comments above the article title and below the author’s resource box. So long as you maintain the proper live link to the author’s website this is perfectly acceptable and a great way to show your reader that you have read and personally approved on the content that you’re sharing.
Using Free Reprint Articles is really a fun way to share an alternative idea or view. By keeping everything relevant and adding your own personal touch to the article… you are not “cheating” your readers. Plus… it keeps the article as part of the conversation that’s happening between you and your loyal readers.
The big idea – Use Reprint Articles – Just use them wisely. Remember that adding content to an already written article is so much easier than writing articles from scratch.
