Because I don’t know where mine is.

So, instead, you get this cheap knock-off.

You see, I should write something useful. Something that will keep you coming back for more.

Why do you come here anyway? Sure, I used to post some useful stuff, but now it’s mostly drivel. On top of that, Google knocked me down to a PR2 from a PR3, which has really put a damper on my potential earnings. No one cares about a PR2 blog.

And, yes, I can blame Google, because I have allowed the quality to go down since I was kicked down to a PR2. You know, you work harder and harder, and they just keep kicking you down, then kick you some more while you are down.

If it’s not the politicians, it’s Google. Sometimes, it’s both.

Now, then, the gurus tell you that you must have content. Fresh content. The search engines love fresh content.

And, sometimes it doesn’t even have to be good.

I mean, just look at some of the top sites in the search engine results. Sometimes, you see ones that are barely comprehensible English, probably because the person who wrote it didn’t speak English.

Of course, the dirty little secret is that a lot of websites are just rewritten content found elsewhere. Sometimes, that content is legitimately obtained. It may be PLR. Then, they “spin” it to create something that’s the same but different enough to be considered unique.

That’s why you might see a lot of sites saying the same thing but in different ways with few of them making sense.

And occasionally they will throw in a random phrase just to throw the search engines off and fool them into thinking it’s unique content. So, you might be reading an article on how to make radish soup, and suddenly come across a line like this:

A bird seeks dawn at the rise of the ocean bush.

Yeah, makes no sense. But, the search engine sees it and says, “Wow! I’ve never seen anything like this before!” Thus, it’s unique.

Sometimes, though, people are too lazy to rewrite stuff. So, they’ll just post PLR exactly as they got it. This explains why, sometimes, you’ll look up something on Google and find a dozen different sites but each of them has the exact same article by different authors.

Of course, sometimes they didn’t source their content through PLR. They just stole an article from someone else and slapped their name on it. Some unscrupulous people will take articles people have written and sell them as PLR. Then, the original author gets ripped off and the people who paid for the PLR, expecting they could use it as they wished, will be in for a nasty surprise when the original author sends them a nasty letter demanding they take down his article.

On top of that, some people will spin not legitimate PLR but articles others have written. They’ll just go to an article site, download a bunch of articles, run them through an article spinner, and claim them as theirs.

It can be a real mess out there.

But, at least you know I write my own stuff. After all, who would steal something like this post?

Probably no one, unless, of course, I throw in some juicy keywords. Zhu zhu pets, lambskin napkins, Rolex watches, who shot JR?, why are my fingers turning blue?, who let the dogs out?, how often should a person bathe?, should I shower after lunch?, kid puppy underwear doll, how to grow organic cucumbers, wish-wash be-gosh, hi-ho silver, ALF, Captain Kirk lunch box, how to tie your shoes, puppet master, ruby ring, ring around the collar, Sprite goes with everything, edible underwear, latex rubber gloves, fine jewelry, silversmith, paint bucket, wedding favors, the joke’s on you, if you’re reading this somewhere other than dcrblogs.com then this is a stolen article, whiplash attorney, washer-dryer combo unit, furniture for pets, cherry dining room table, naked moles, women with football jerseys, men with shorts, shoes for the hip-hop crowd, blue man groupies, discount yo-yo, aquarium supplies for less, pinstripe suits, tack bat hat rack, super deal, low price, one of a kind savings, bet on black, bet on red, bet on purple Fred, and don’t look back at the crocodile tears. There, that ought to do it.

So, anyway, you can see this is 100% original content. No one else would put this kind of stuff up with their name on it.
