3 Sources of Fast and Credible Content

1. Article Directories

Many argue that article directories are bad places to get articles from because of the 'duplicate content' penalty that search engines may throw at you. However, what they do not realize is that search engines penalize duplicated PAGES, not content ' there is a difference.

This means that search engines are looking for duplicate HTML rather than duplicate articles. It is common sense that certain articles and press releases may be placed on multiple places on the internet ' this has been happening since the beginning of the internet.

However, if HTML is duplicated, then the search engines know that someone is trying to trick them.

Feel free to grab articles from directories, just make sure that you are plugging these articles into your own unique HTML files ' create your own custom templates.

2. Blogs

Blogs have become extremely powerful lately ' search engines are devouring them. Why' Well blogs are short for 'web log' ' an internet based journal. Just the title automatically indicates that the blog will be consistently updated.

Blogs are also very clean and simple HTML with easy to follow navigation for search engines. If you have not yet, it is a wise decision to launch a blog on your own website.

3. Product Reviews/Information

Many affiliates who sell physical products or have websites that sell hundreds or thousands of websites argue that they cannot possibly write articles to promote all the products.

So, how do you have meaningful pages of 'content' if you sell lots of products and writing articles is too difficult'

Write product reviews or copy/paste information on that product.

If you ever search for an electronic item in the search engines, you'll find that the top ranking sites are not always articles but are typically just websites that sell that product. Some of them have 'reviews' of the product and others just have copied and pasted information from the company.

So, a fast way to get content is to simply 'borrow' technical specs and reviews on the product. But remember, put these into your own template (since it is repeated content).

There you have it ' 3 sources for fast content to help you fill your website with many pages that search engines can index and then refer traffic to.
