For those of us who build niche websites, finding good quality content on a regular basis can be a daunting task. For those that own a number of sites, writing enough content to keep the search engines satisfied can be too time consuming for one individual to handle. In order to get around this a webmaster has two options: Hire someone to write content or use an automated plugin to produce content.
Face it, ordering fresh content from a quality article writer can be expensive, especially for new sites that aren’t yet earning. What seems to be a popular thing to do today is to purchase some sort of plugin that will automatically produce content from Yahoo answers, Wikipedia or another source. On the surface this seems like a great idea, but in the long run, I think it’s a BIG MISTAKE. I am positive that over time, the search engines will be able to detect these sort of plugins and penalize your site.
There is no substitute for quality, unique content written by a real person. Our human nature is always trying to find ways to make our life easier, but this is one task that just can’t be avoided. Either spend time writing your own unique content or hire someone to write content for you.
