duplicate content

I should suggest to you should write your own content which are related to your sites and they will also theme relevant. Their is no problem if you purchase it.

If you are going to use PLR, then rewrite it to achieve 30% to 60% differences from the original so as to avoid 'duplicate content' issue. The more unique the content, the better for you. You can also add your professional comments, put in additional facts and anecdotes, do some research and combine the materials you found to make them unique. Others include adding your own pictures, graphics or video to accompany your PLR content so that your website or blog is different.

It can't be more unique.
Unique means the only one. It is either unique or not.

You are correct to say "unique is...one....unique or not."

Here I am doing a comparison of the using the same PLR (0% unique - exactly the same as others) that others also have and making it so that the content approaches uniqueness (100% unique - which is having no like or equal; unparalleled; incomparable)

0% DIFFERENCE = Identical

unique doesn't have a ratio of "uniqueness"

Unique = 100% DIFFERENT

0% different to ...50%....to 100% different...anyway...I sure you and the others know what I mean here...I am talking about the "degree in differences"(as a way of 'measuring' them!)

I think that its better to hire a professional article writer so you can manage and maximize your own article!

"duplicate content" is just a drop in the ocean of this problem; it's "generic content" that you want to eradicate - there's SO MANY angles it can come from

i wrote an amazing crawler system that took all the product feeds of the affiliate networks and made a google style engine of only those products - MILLIONS of products across CJ, afwin and tradedoubler.

It was brilliant, in terms of programming and searching ability. but the pages on google of all the products and listings, they were GENERIC - why? because every single product and description appeared elsewhere, some times a few times, sometimes LOOOADS of times. Thus a seemingly sensible idea turned out to be a complete waste of time! And my ability to make a minigoogle model was wasted and removed from my operational arena.

Go with original and unique, individual, even renegade and maverick, but NOT generic. Be the real thing, not just some can of coke.

I couldn't agree more!

Affiliate links and sites that display them are usually (undeservedly) given a hard time in the SEO world, and often get labeled as the fabled "bad neighbourhoods". This is mainly due to people signing up for the aforementioned "turnkey sites" without really knowing how to make them work or being unable to make the changes required to get rid of the boiler plate text that almost every other site that has ever been sold uses.
Because of this duplication, these pages get filtered out of the search engines and as these are all affiliate links for the products, it is usually assumed that it is the affiliate links that has caused its demise.
Yahoo! is particularly good (and quick)at removing sites that are all affiliate. Not because they are affiliates, but because as duplicate pages, they add nothing unique or useful (from the SE point of view) to their index.

The same is true of people signing up for affiliate programs and using the standard text produced by the advertiser on their own pages. This would be acceptable if were there only a few dozen of affiliates for the product, but when there are hundreds or thousands or hundreds of thousands, the situation is somewhat different.

Most helpful. Good to find docs which help debunk the myth that people who make deals with affiliate networks are hobbyists, spammers and children! The companies whose quarter million pounds worth of fmcgs (from cosmetics to electricals) I sold the other year probably don't think that the affiliate method is anything but cream of the crop. If just one guy with one old rubbish macintosh made a quarter mill of sales from his bedroom, how much do they make off their list of 100s of 1000s of webmasters?

with so much of written content online and writers using the internet to research subjects, its always better to write original content and check it with a copyscape.
