The Website Content Dilemma

Posted on February 3rd, 2006 in Make More Money.

I’ve been struggling with the most effective way to use PLR website content for awhile.  I just posted the following on the KWA forum and thought it was worth reposting here.  If you have ideas, questions, concerns, feedback, etc related to this topic, I’d LOVE to hear them.  Here’s the post:

Excuse my “KnuckleHeadedness” but I’m having quite a dilemma with the PLR articles.I too belong to a fair number of article sites so I have content coming out of the wazoo.  Typically, this is a good thing.  However, very very few articles are related to the keywords/topics I want to target.

What’s the use of having a gazillion articles on weight loss for poodles if the dang keywords only pay a nickel?!?  This seems completely backwards to me.

In the “old days”, it was:

Identify Keywords (hopefully high paying) —> Find Content —> Create Website.

Today, it seems like it’s:

Download Content —> Identify Keywords That Match Content —> Create Website.

Am I wrong or am I wrong?  What am I missing?

    Hello Leonard!

    Thank you for visiting the NetKnuckleHead website and for the kind words and feedback.

    Isn’t it interesting and a bit funny how so many of us have the same ’story’? I think we all feel like our struggles and lack of success are unique, like we must be the only ones, when in fact, there are LOTS of people in the same situation.

    You asked an interesting question - Is everything in the category of “Yeah it is really good information, but I haven’t made any money at it?”. It sure seems like it, doesn’t it? I think I can count on one hand the number of products and ebooks that have directly resulted in making money. It’s so hard to see through the crap and find the diamond.

    You mentioned RSSGM. I have used both NicheCreator (NC) and RSSGM and I’ve only made around $15 with NC and nothing from RSSGM. Although it’s disappointing, it’s not too surprising because in my opinion, anything that can be machine generated can be identified by footprints and eliminated (bypassed for indexing). That’s why we’re seeing the ‘death’ of site generators.

    I’ve recently changed my strategy, which you can read more about in the private posts. Hopefully, it will be more successful than portal building. Gawd knows, it can’t be any worse!

    Stay in touch and let me know how you’re doing.

    I like your website. Your story sounds like I could put my name at the head and it would be mine.

    I read your reviews and I agree with them all. So what does work to make money on the internet. Is everything in the category of “Yeah it is really good information, but I haven’t made any money at it?”

    I only make enough money at Google Adsense so they send me a check every month. I am working on that and hopefully getting better.

    Have you tried using rssgm for creating sites for adsense? I am about to dive into that, but am not very tech savvy. Any pointers?

    Hey, good luck on the internet! You seem like a pretty cool guy!

    Leonard
