Yes, you can purchase the sites ready-made. I own several. Some contain articles from article directories and some contain private label rights (PLR) articles.
OTOH, I haven't posted most of them on the Internet yet because of the possibility of the duplicate content penalty. I don't post them until I make them unique.
For the sites that use articles from others, I "wrap" them so that the article isn't the only content on the page and so that the article isn't the first thing that the search engine bot sees. I also try to create at least some unique content on some of the pages and always strive to make it worth someone's time to visit.
In all cases, wherever possible, I try not to upload all of the pages at once. That makes it too obvious that it's a site designed to pull in AdSense income.
And while I do want to make money, I firmly believe that you have to give value in return, so I also try to find ways to keep growing the sites after I've posted the articles.
I also don't like the "scraped" sites. I purchased a tool that did that, made one site, looked at it, and deleted it. To me, it's too big a risk. Google AdSense is a huge potential cash cow, and I don't want to do anything that might get me banned.
In summary, it's my impression that stuff like you mentioned is only going to be profitable for so long before Google and the others find a way to automatically detect, delete, and ban them. I'm trying to stick with unique content, PLR content that I've altered, and articles by others that are interwoven with my own content.
HTH,
Tom
P.S. -- Yes, I've seen the tools (like Dr. Mani's) that insert text into your articles in an attempt to make them unique. Something like that isn't for me because you're inserting the same text on all of your pages.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
