Hi MasterLinker,
Thanks for the comment and for reading…it is amazing to me how many people still try to take un-educated shortcuts that end up hurting them in the long term.

This is actually a much more pervasive issue than some people might realize.

I agree that building backlinks from relevant articles is a solid strategy, but since when is it acceptable to basically steal other people’s hard work in the process? For heaven’s sake, come up with an idea and take an hour to write an article. It’s not that hard.

Now if you want to spin that article with multiple versions so you can post it on numerous article websites, go right ahead. That is also a solid strategy for maximizing the benefits of your article-writing efforts, but only if you are the orginal content producer.

Keep up the good work Nick.

Hi Stewart,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts…if a person finds a topic interesting to their audience(s) and discusses the topic but it is 100% different, then you are effectively re-writing an article. I agree with you that plagiarism is ALWAYS wrong…

As a journalist who works hard over each piece that I write (it’s been my job for many years) and who has had editorial plagiarised, even from my blog, I can’t condone this business of re-writing. I think it’s unfair on the person who has made the effort to research the subject, has spent time writing the article and whose income depends on it being accepted by a magazine, a newspaper or a website to then find ‘excerpts’, paragraphs, or more in some other article. Nobody minds a quote from a piece, as long as the writer is credited properly, but anything else is plain, old-fashioned wrong and should never be condoned.
