900 Pound Gorilla Strikes Again!

Filed under: Jason Potash report — jason @ 10:17 pm

I just created a new report that I know you will want to get your hands on.

I’m sure you’ve heard the news…

First it was the Google Slap… then another… and ANOTHER.

After the carnage, thousands of Google AdWords advertisers were left licking their wounds with low quality Score ratings.

Then, things got even WORSE…

Two months ago, the second bomb dropped.

Google released a new patent application and revealed some *scary* insights about their plans to use LSI, phrase matching and co-occurrence to automatically seek-and-destroy websites relying on natural search as well.

As you can plainly see… in 2007, the game of getting (free and paid) traffic HAS CHANGED!

I just created a special report that dissects bit-by-bit what is happening in the world of search engine marketing (SEM).

It’s VERY eye-opening and contains some great tidbits and action-ideas that you can use right away.

I call it my 900 Pound Gorilla report. You’ll understand why once you read it. It’s filled with meaty facts, information and search engine predictions that you need to know.

  1. Hey. This is some great stuff jason. Right to the point and bang on. Lucky for me I’ve followed your advice in the past and am already making changes. Keep in coming!

  2. Brilliant advice. I already knew that content needed to be changed if submitting to a directory and linking back to your site - but I didn’t realise how much.

    Downloaded your tool and used it today.
    It’s so easy to use.
    Great to be able to see the percentage difference between the articles, and compare them side by side.
    Thanks for your generosity.
    Now, I can submit my articles with confidence.

    Keep up the good work.

  3. Thanks for the 900 pound info. :) I need to wrap my head around this whole lsi thing. Will you be providing more information about it here. It would be a big help.

    Comment by John Wilder — March 15, 2007 @ 1:26 pm

  4. I am glad to see that Content Composer is going to be back for professionals managing the content creation process this is a really useful tool. You are making a new class of application here!

    Best wishes,

    Andrew.

    Comment by Andrew Wilson — March 15, 2007 @ 1:42 pm

  5. I heard rumors about content composer but could never find out where to read more about it. Now it’s here and this all looks very exciting. I can relate to your pdf. I am an ex mass article spinner looking a better way to build great content. Looks like I finally found it here.

    Jason says: Excellent! Another mass-article-spinner converted :-) Yes, Content Composer will be here soon. Check back here for more info.

  6. Thanks so much for the 900 Pound Report - what an eye opener. Very informative and clearly written. I can’t wait to get started with these new ideas and techniques.

    Comment by Corinne Mitchell — March 15, 2007 @ 2:28 pm

  7. Yeah, this was definitely 900 pounds worth of information. Awesome facts and info. Thanks a million!

    Comment by Todd Greenway — March 15, 2007 @ 3:31 pm

  8. Hi Jason,
    Question…am I am to include content composer withing another product as a bonus?

    Please let me know- its a product on linkmarketing, covering articles, affiliate programs, search engines etc - maybe you would like a like at the draft?

    Let me know
    Paul

    Jason says: I think you are referring to Content Checkup. Yes, please feel free to include your copy of Content Checkup as a bonus within your product. Content Composer on the other hand, is not a free product and it will be launching on Thurs, March 29th. Details here soon.

  9. Love it, love it, love it!!!!

    Your pdf couldn’t have come at a better time as this was on the top of my mind lately. Definitely puts me on the right track with my content strategy and everything else that I have planned.

    Thnx

  10. Jason,

    I am one who does read the whole report top to bottom. I must admit I read the headline with trepidation. That feeling quickly faded once I got a third of the way through the report. Unbeknownst to me I have been doing it right since 2005.

    I write my own articles FROM SCRATCH. I buy books, visit the library, etc. I’m anal about being unique. My only bitch is that it takes me a long time to create each article. I usually produce one or two new articles per day (usually late at night after the kids are asleep =).

    My results have been nothing short of phenomenal. One of my sites vaulted to the top of Google and I only wrote five articles. My next website has also rocketed up the SERPS. I wrote 28 articles for it. What’s really amazing is that all this took place over a period of weeks instead of months.

    I am intrigued by your advice on have 10 versions of the same article. What a great idea. I find it’s not too hard to do that anyway if you know the topic well enough. I plan on implementing that strategy immediately. I’d rather take the extra time and have my sites remain stable through the changes versus, well the other less desired result.

    Keep up the good work. I’m not into putting anyone on a pedestal, but you have certainly earned my respect and admiration.

  11. Jason,

    gotta love that name :) . Anyway, how much is this software and training going to cost, I’m hoping you’re not going to go the $200+ route? I’m sure I’m not the only one who would like to know ballpark about what it will cost.

    Thanks,

    Jason

    Comment by Jason — March 15, 2007 @ 11:15 pm

  12. Jason,

    I read your file top to bottom twice. I had always wondered about people that try to beat the system. I started my business 4 months ago and have always written my own articles. I felt vindicated by your report. I have downloaded your software and will be trying it out shortly. Thanks for the GREAT information.

    Gary

    Comment by Gary — March 16, 2007 @ 12:05 am

  13. Wow! I am amazed at the great information. In fact so amazed I had to change my websites content by taking it all off and I do mean all of it. lol I think I’ll go Silo from now on.

    It looks like we all have our work cut out for us now do we?.

    Thanks Jason. I look forward to more goodies from you.

    Aloha,
    Rusty

    Here we Go!! Awesome!

    Just wish I was part of your original 485 Member Group–LOL!!

    Thanks Jason

  15. Thanks Jason!

    I had downloaded some content modifier software, but it just churned out garbled stuff. So I got disgusted with it and just decided to rewrite it myself.

    I had some plr, but I didn’t quite likethe wording, so I changed it a bit to be more like me (my style), I didn’t know what I was doing until I read your report.

    I just used your content checkup tool and got a score of 30.09% unique!

    I’m very happy that I now have an easy tool to find that out.

    Your reports are easy to read and implement. Thank You very much Jason.

    Comment by SharonV — March 16, 2007 @ 2:01 am

  16. Hi Jason,

    This is just great!!!. I write all my articles so that they are unique. I have a couple of blogs and I try to modify the articles for them but until now have only guessed at the % difference. Now I will know for sure. I do not find it to difficult to write different versions of my articles, but have been reluctant to send them to article banks as after a while there are only so many combinations that you can use, but your advice on setting up different sections and swapping them around sounds great. I can see some late nights ahead.

    I am looking forward to your Content Composer comming out. I will definately be looking at purchase as long as it does not blow the budget, still trying to sell enough online to make a profit, covering costs which is not to bad, but hey profit is what it is all about.

    Anyway keep up the good work looking forward to March 29

    Love and Light

  17. Hi Jason,

    There’s a saying along the lines “When the Pupil is ready, the Teacher will appear”.

    I was certainly ready and “Poof”, you show up again (I’m a long time customer and subscriber). You have talked more sense in a 15 minute read than I have heard ALL of this year…you are my guru, and I use that term correctly, you are an extra-ordinary Teacher.

    Thanks for being special.

    Kind regards,

    Rayzee (Ray Fearnley)

    Jason says: Thank you Ray. I appreciate the positive feedback.

    Comment by Rayzee — March 16, 2007 @ 7:51 am

  18. Hi Jason,

    Really great report as you normally offer. I am aware of the need for submitting different versions of articles and have been experimenting with different options. Also I have been following the LSI reports for some time and your report shows the need to apply this for this year.

    Many thanks,

    John

    Comment by John — March 16, 2007 @ 10:17 am

  19. Hi Jason,
    I just put the Content Checkup tool to a test. I pulled a few paragraphs from a news story and changed them a little. Content Checkup said 82.61% unique. That’s just not the case. There were much less unique than that. I can upload them for you if you want. It highlighted a few sentences it thought were unique, but missed many others that were also unique.

    I still like your report however. And it is a nice little tool you gave us for free.

    Thanks,
    Chad

    Comment by Chad — March 16, 2007 @ 11:02 am

  20. Oops, I made a typo. I meant that is highlighted some duplicate content, but missed most of it.

    Comment by Chad — March 16, 2007 @ 11:04 am

  21. Okay, I understand how it works now. Out of curiosity I made another couple tests:

    Jack is happy.
    Jack is sappy.

    Comes back as 100% unique!

    Jack is happy. He is happier.
    Jack is sappy. He is happier.

    50% unique.

    Jack is sappy, he is happier, he eats lemons.
    Jack is sappy, he is sappier, he eats lemons.

    33.34% unique.

    So it looks to see if ANY of the words in between the marks of punctuation are different in ANY way.

    I suppose that Googles system may work the same way. If it does, I would venture a guess that eventually that won’t be the case. But who knows?

    Also, if you are changing your content and make the same assumption this software does–that you just need to make a slight change between punctuation–than you will be most effecient by focusing on doing just that. No need to waste time trying to make more changes than necessary.

    The Software Decoder,

    Chad

    Comment by Chad — March 16, 2007 @ 12:40 pm

  22. Hi Jason-
    I just read your report and I had a question. (Or two.)
    First- I noticed you were mostly referring to articles, and I have submitted a few articles and posted them on my retail site in a section for articles and info. But what about product descriptions on a retail website?
    I have certain similar products and have alot of the same content on each page of a similar product. Should I be using the free software to make each product description 30% unique from each other one? For instance I sell organic crib mattresses, but I sell 5 different varieties. A lot of the info about them is similar, though, and I have some of the exact same content on all 5 product descriptions.
    Should I tweak these?

    Another question I had is you said that Google will be scanning for phrases and looking for other phrases that should complement these phrases on the page such as “The President of The United States” should also have the phrase “White House” or something else relevant.

    How do we know what phrases Google is going to be looking for to complement the phrases we have on the page. Should I also be concerned about this in product descriptions? Is this something the new software will help with? For instance, one of my major keyord phrases is “organic baby products”,(and I don’t rank high for it) but I have no idea what Google would be looking for as a complementary phrase on the same web page to get me “points” with Google. Is this common sense stuff (which obviously I have none) or is there a system that can crank out what a complementary phrase would be that google is looking for?

    Thanks-
    Laura

  23. Hi Jason and Prost from Germany !
    Thank you! Your stuff is great!
    I am new to this. Totally new. You would not believe how new…
    But I DO work on the law of attraction. I am coached by Bob Proctor and
    have a pile of books to read on my desk. Always.
    Today (as you can see in my profile-Info) I wanted to finish Mark Joyners book on “The Irresistable Offer” so there I sat on my sofa, reading about the basics of a virus and how it relates to word of mouth marketing offline and online.
    And ideas come up in my mind, so I close my eyes to open my mind, and I refine a strategie, you know… picture it, how I would assemble the parts and so on… and then I get your mail…
    Now, normally I put it aside, in a folder, unread, yep, sorry, but its true.
    Well, reason for that is, i have so much stuff to learn, I HAVE TO FILTER.

    But today something inside said: READ IT! NOW! THORSTEN!

    I learned to listen to that voice, Thank you BOB.
    So here I am and I see how you market yourself and your products.

    WOW. Not only did I learn so much from that report, but also, how you
    implemented 95% of that strategie I was just picturing in my mind.

    Germany is always a little late. Except for the Octoberfest :-)

    Therefore, I am happy to be able to be among the first.

    Internet Marketing has yet to hit here atomic.

    Your knowledge is GOLD and you be blessed for sharing ;-)

    all the best

  24. As one of those quality ghostwriters, I’m able to concur with most of what you wrote. That you’re suggesting you can get a quality 500 word article written for $4-8 is laughable, though. I won’t sit at the desk for that kind of money. Well written articles take some time to get legitimate facts and perspectives.

    Jason says: You need to re-read the report. I never suggested paying $4 articles. In fact, I am against this (I refer to these articles as “the article sweatshop”). I pay under $10 for my 500 word articles and the content is very good.

    You don’t work for free or cheap, and shouldn’t expect anyone else to either. A well written article is easily worth the $25-30 you should expect to pay for it, and will make you many times that price, if you use it effectively. Even in using your program, one has to start with quality and substance. It still goes back to the old “Garbage in, garbage out” concept.

    Don’t try to nickel and dime your writers. If they’re capable, they deserve to be paid well, and will make you a lot of money.

  25. Being new to internet marketing, I was just getting into the spinning! I am thankful I don’t have many “habits” to break yet. I have only used original or PLR articles to date. In the back of my mind I often wondered about how many PLR duplicate articles were floating around! This makes perfect sense. Thanks!

  26. Any plans on producing a Mac-friendly version of your content checker?

    Comment by Stan Politi — March 16, 2007 @ 6:09 pm

  27. I loved the book. I got more value from your book than I do from most that I paid for.

    I’m (now was, HA!) guilty of being one of the “2006″ marketers who added intro stuff here and there, but pretty much just fixed grammer and punctuation then uploaded my PLR stuff. My blog does have original content, but members and my husband write those. I just add the filler stuff when no one else is writing. I plan now to go back through and re-do what I have and then start re-writing before I publish my generic stuff.

    I have two different article spinners. One I never use. It takes forever on dial up to find replacements for just one word. The other is the kind that puts in title, intro, middles, end, and signature into each article. They sucked to say the least. I ended up re-writing every canned insert and still didn’t like the results.

    Looking forward to a tool that works :)

    Comment by Faith — March 16, 2007 @ 7:52 pm

  28. Thank you for the free 900 Pound Gorilla report, and also the content checkup download, it will be helpfull when I am checking my articles, and not using my plr articles membership.

    (To respond to the product descriptions question above, Brad Fallon was asked this very Q. on an Elite Sessions call and he said that you should rewrite all your product descriptions and pages.)

  29. Very interesting report.

    I found the 30% number very interesting. I have always rewritten PLR articles to 45% or more uniqueness. Am I doing more than I have to? It would sure be a time saver if you can say for sure that 30% is enough to avoid penalty. I have always used DupeCop to compare articles but will give your desktop application a try.

    Looking forward to learning more on March 29.

  30. Great report. One of the best I’ve read. Only one I read all the way through and responded. Q: What’s going to keep Google from detecting/penalizing the article evoltion strategy?

    Comment by Len — March 18, 2007 @ 5:31 am

  32. Good report Jason. I don’t know… in my case this is not the news really but it is always good to get more insights and see various angles. I have been using spinners for a while now and I always check for the differentiation factor. But on the other hand I spin the insides of the content in and out like noone I have seen …

    Good stuff :)

    I am interested to check out the content composer.

    Comment by Kristina — March 18, 2007 @ 11:34 am

  33. Hi Jason,

    With all this web 2 stuff going around, it may take some time to understand, but what you’ve just given us can be implemented immediately. I will be looking forward to the release of your software, hoping that you can keep your price right, to give the ordinary person I chance to join in the Internet revolution.

    Comment by Lionel — March 18, 2007 @ 11:54 am

  34. Hi Jason

    Your report is GREAT, and very true. Maybe the day is near that the junk will start to disappear from the web.

    Thanks again.

  35. hi,

    i was wondering if content composer can be used with adsense, bidclix and kontera. also will it be affordable?

    thanks a bunch,

    Comment by Jonathan — March 18, 2007 @ 3:07 pm

  36. Hi Jason,
    Thanks for a great report. LSI is great news for newbies who want to compete with the older sites. Sites with good onpage optimization and only a handful of links can get higher listings than sites with with thousands of links. It’s not hard, but it does take time. Looking foward to your new software.

    Comment by Ted — March 18, 2007 @ 5:04 pm

  37. Hey Jason,

    I have been a follower for a while now and this is just another great example of your tremendous products and information. I have been wanting to get your Article Announcer and thinking about it a lot lately then your email came my way. What a great e-book and free is awesome!
    Thanks so much for the wonderful information and the free tool. I already have placed it onto my desktop and will use this tool a lot. I gladly never fell the spinner way, but have wondered what I would do with articles already written. I wanted to place them onto my blog to point to my sites but did not want that whole duplicate content thing to happen to the site or blog. So I did not include them with my site or blog. But now it looks like I will be able to do this now.
    Will you offer a package for Content Composer and Article Announcer for those of us who do not have the Announcer yet?
    Yes I am also one of those interested in the cost of this new idea!

    Thanks again!

  38. Great Report. I’m anxious to see content composer. I’ve been reading all I can on LSI and thematically constructed websites.

    It is certainly going to change the playing field for the better. Nothing sucks more than seeing spam sites that took an hour to build and publish get higher rankings than a well thought out site that has original unique content.

    Comment by Scott — March 18, 2007 @ 11:19 pm

  39. Hi Jason,

    Great report - thanks, it made for interesting reading and I’m glad to see that remaining true to your style, you are still one step ahead of the curve!

    Perhaps one undesired effect that your report had on me though, is that it raised the issue of the general effectiveness of article marketing in the future. If reprint articles become increasingly less useful for webmasters, then ultimately this will lead to a downturn in the number of webmasters using the services of the article directories, therefore less exposure for us article marketers.

    I’d assume that it’s fair to say that in 2007 it wont have a massive impact on article marketing. But for 2008 and beyond…

    Maybe in the long term, rather than concerning ourselves with article directories, it might be better to focussing our attentions on related websites/newsletters and offering unique articles with first time publication rights.

    Yes, I know newsletters and websites have always been a recomended target for article marketing, I guess I can just see a time when nurturing a relationship with ezine/web publishers will become far more productive that just submitting to various directories. (oh yeh, hasn’t that already been done? stompernet or some such…)

    Anyway, thanks for the insights & I look forward to having a gander at your new software…

    Regards

    Mark

  40. Sounds pretty good in theory. We’ll have to give it a shot to really see it in action. I think you’re dead on about the subject of duplicate content… it’s become a plague.

    Comment by Bob — March 19, 2007 @ 7:59 pm

  41. Jason

    This is a WONDERFUL time.

    The guys in the white hats are going to win. As we should.

    LSI “content in context” has been a long time coming, but it is here, and it’s great because all that us white hat content creators have to do is adjust our game slightly. But the spammers and tech black hats are going to find it a nightmare …

    Look at them: They are CHAMELEONS who change colour depending on the environment. It is happening already. If you look closely, you will see the original spam technology gurus suddenly changing their stories and starting to talk about LSI.

    Watch this space. Listen to the upcoming teleseminars. They will be all over it like a rash. But this time, I suspect that this is beyond their capacity.

    It requires creativity. They have no idea about that.

    Yes. It is our time.

    Jonathan

    Comment by Jonathan Gunson — March 20, 2007 @ 7:43 am

  42. Jason,

    You know you make me laugh in some respect because firstly in your report you mention about “gurus” suggesting you go and hire writers of Elance and such and how this is a really bad mistake, well if it’s so bad why did you suggest to hire someone on elance when you did a call with another well known internet marketer not so long ago??

    Also, your scarcity tactics are quite good, whats to say that this method won’t have the same effect in 12 months or so where people will spoil it for everyone else then??

    Are you hoping people will spam the method so that you can bring out another report for a different piece of software. It’s rather like a viscous circle that goes on and on with you just quietly laughing to yourself.

    By the way why are you telling everyone about this new software if it’s so good why don’t you just continue to use it for yourself so you don’t have to worry about everyone spamming the method and spoiling it for everyone else.

    Jason says: I understand your concerns about the 12-month shelf life of LSI and “spammers” ruining it. I don’t think that this will happen. I am not alone here. Please listen to the new audio interview that I just uploaded with Andy Jenkins. You’ll hear Andy’s perspective on all this within the audio. http://www.contentcomposer.com/blog/?p=4

    Comment by Richard — March 20, 2007 @ 7:52 am

  43. How can you go around telling people google is doing something or using a particular process in their algorithms when you don’t work for google? What makes you an expert when no one in the rest of the SEO/SEM world is talking about this or seeing what you are?

    Jason says: I’m not sure where you are obtaining your information about SEO, but let me assure you, LSI is a hot topic right now in the SEO community — listen to Andy Jenkin’s interview here for more proof: http://www.contentcomposer.com/blog/?p=4 (and Andy actually employs former Google and MSN staff, he makes reference to this right on the call)

    If you read Google’s Patent (see the link within my PDF), it is as clear as day that phrase matching and LSI are a big part of their algorithm. Here is another great resource that explains these changes in greater detail: http://www.seobythesea.com/?p=413 Hope this helps. 

    Comment by Debra — March 20, 2007 @ 4:48 pm

  44. I am SO glad that I took the time to read your new report. It’s so easy to put things off and this almost happened, but something told me that I needed to read it sooner rather than later. I am glad that I did.

    There is no doubt in my mind that we are finally on the right path here. I spent 5 years working as a journalist and have had many articles circulate around the net and gain a great amount of traffic. You didn’t need to worry about optimizing your articles back then, but times have changed as the search engines have changed.

    It will be interesting to see what you have planned on the 29th. Please keep us posted.

    Comment by Clive Cohen — March 20, 2007 @ 9:09 pm

  45. I bought Articlw Announcer when it first came out…Is the revamped Content Composer and integration the promised update to Article Announcer or are these 2 seperate things?

    Bill

    Jason says: Article Announcer and Content Composer are fully integrated, however, they are two completely different products — with very different functions. CC helps you create, optimize, evolve (spin), re-write your content, AA submits/syndicates your content.

     

    Comment by Bill Urell — March 20, 2007 @ 10:35 pm

  46. Hi Jason,

    I went through the pdf some time back. The only points I remember now is the Google has come up with something called LSI, and that we should submit multiple versions of one article to the directories and that on page stuff will be more important in SEO now and that the content on our website had better be unique.

    I tried out your new free software download - it is great. Very simple to use.

    The only question I have is how your product - content Composer - will help us get good rankings. Will it integrate the LSI requirements? And has Google already implemented the LSI stuff in its method of ranking websites?

    I am also looking forward to the training audios. The training that you gave for the Article Announcer product along with John Reese was great.

    Looking forward to March 29th

    regards

  47. This report has confirmed what I’ve been researching this year for link strategies and article submitting.

    Really eye opening ideas in here with referrence to Google and other sources to back up his claims.

    I now have a firm, clear and precise vision for SEO in 2007 thanks to some help from this report.

  48. Hi Jason,

    I simply can’t wait any longer. I already know I want the Content Composer, so why can’t we just skip all the suspense and anticipation buildup. Let us have it now. Please. :o )

  49. Great report - thanks for confirming several things I already knew.

    However (re. your pending release of yet another “solution”) any of us who have been in the IM arena more than a couple of years have seen this recurring pattern …. ad nauseum:

    - advent of a so-called solution

    - overuse quickly nullifies the intended benefit

    - rampant abuse creates fallout and abberations

    - major search engines retaliate in acts of self preservation.

    One year later (or less):

    - product developers rush to “solve” the problems created by their previous “solution”

    - the cycle starts all over again at the expense of those who will continue to fork over $197 to $1000 for limited value shortcuts.

    Jason says: Sorry to hear that Dan, but you must be confusing me with somebody else. Let’s take a quick look at a few of my past products. EzineAnnouncer? (still works, very effective). ArticleAnnouncer? (still works, very effective since it’s not a mass article submitter/spammer tool). PortalFeeder? (works better than it did when first released in Dec 2005, new and improved). So, as you can see, I’m not one of those people who creates products (as you put it “shortcuts”) with a 6-month shelf life that only solves short-term problems. Content Composer is no different.

  50. Thanks for the report. I’m already attempting to do SEO properly so many of your ideas are already being used. However its nice to have them laid out in specific terms rather than genralities. I think any tools that anhance white-hat techniques are long term and valuable. Thanks Again!

  51. I see you’ve answered a few questions here Jason, one’s that you chose too. Mine is…HOW MUCH?

    Cheers

    Len

    Jason says: The price question always comes up. I made the mistake (once) of releasing the price and saying ”it will be around $X” before launch day, and it burned me. It wasn’t a big deal, but now I make a point of not doing it. Sorry, you’ll find out soon.

  52. Good heavens Jason,
    This is a God-send gift, especially for us newbies who have had to wade
    through a lot of internet garbage, packaged with sales-letters and visuals that present that garbage, as if it were gold.

    With the newbie technology-trap shattered, AND now your gift of ability
    to create unique quality content, the newbie can start on the right footing, and not crash and burn.

    Your gift is totally grats, may the universe return your gesture several folds.

  54. Hi Jason,

    Fair enough, I just thought you’d know definately by now how much you’re going to charge.

    Don’t tell me you don’t know until launch time, gee what a funny way of doing things.

    I’d like to know a price of my product way before I launched it.

    Each to their own I suppose.

    Cheers

    Len

  56. Hi Jason,

    I really enjoyed your pdf report the best
    i have seen for a long time and that includes
    all those paid types. your was great and very informative
    i found it useful as i have been submitting article
    to the directories and i had made it all at-least 40%
    uneick but still not any traffic so was wondering
    what i was doing wrong so your report got me thinking
    thanks for all your tips.

    c/ya

    mick
    hope its a good price for the new product launch
    as every time there is some thing i think could
    help a newbie like me its well out of my my price ranch
    so its been long hard 2 years so far.

  57. Hi Jason,
    A very good reportt. I’ve been on line for 15 years and only decided to try IM about 6 months ago. I’ve never seen an Article Directory or an ezine and cannot understand why ANYONE would want to go to all the effort of writing an article and give it away for free!
    I also cannot undersand how anyone would ever get to see it. Who says to themselves “I think I’ll go online and read some sort of article”?.

  58. Hi Jason,

    I was enjoying reading your report and was agreeing to most of the points you raised until we got to the US$4-5 dollar content ghostwriters you were talking about. Coming from a country wherein English is a Second Language but one which uses it as a first language for business, I am really horrified with your lambasting of writers from ESL countries.

  59. It is a very interesting story. Thanks!

  60. Hi Jason,

    I use Private Label Articles for article marketing at the moment and I personally rewrite them and then submit using some software.

    Parting with $297 for another piece of software always gets me nervous.

    But I think I will take your 3 month challenge. I hope it is not a waste of my time.

  61. Thanks Jason

    I have skimmed your report and will read it in detail again. One thing that concerns me is this - and it’s being profoundly confirmed by John Reese’s recent report (more about it in my post in the link above). While I respect the valid concern about unique content with regards to SEO it’s time we go much deeper into the issue of unique content, not for the sake of search engines but for the sake of the people that we’re supposed to serve (and not just sell) with this content. I strongly invite everyone to read John’s report - it’s truly a wake up call.

    Many greetings

    Halina

    Jason says: I wholeheartedly agree with you. “Unique” content is not about pushing buttons or creating more computer generated content. I hope that my position on this was clear and came through after reading my report. I am against using cheap $4 article writers to create more crap and flood the Internet with it. That ship has sailed. Quality, well-written content (that provides real benefit to actual PEOPLE (VISITORS), not just search engines) is more important now than ever before. This is exactly what I teach my customers too.
