What is PLR?

PLR stands for Private Label Rights. In reference to articles, it means that you may use the article as you wish including publish it verbatim as your own. Access to such articles is usually limited, thus the term PRIVATE.

PLR articles are written specifically for use by others. Professional writers are hired to write them. They do the research and write about the topic in a general way. You may take such articles as is and claim them as your own without fear of copywrite infringement. But that is not the intention of them, nor should they be used in that fashion.

As I have said before, original content is key to bringing traffic to your web site. PLR articles are helpful in that they can save you loads of time in research and writing. But simply copying and pasting them into your site can be detrimental to you. Access to such articles is limited, but not exclusive. Other people do have the same access and right to use them. You do NOT want to claim authorship to an article that someone has also claimed as their own. It reflects badly on you and makes people wonder about your ethics. Your attempt to brand yourself as an expert goes right out the window. What you need to do with PLR articles is PERSONALIZE them.

PLR articles are accurate about their topics, but are written such that you can easily edit them to suit your needs. In order to stand out from the crowd, you want your personality to shine through. Tweak or rewrite the article to reflect your own voice. Make it sound as if YOU are talking. Add a personal anecdote. No one else will be able to add your personal experience, thus making the article original in content. PLR articles give you the facts to work with. You just need to take those facts and make them YOUR story.
