Article Underground Review - Quality Content At A Reasonable Price?
December 20, 2009 9:34 am SE OptimizationBelow is an Article Underground Review - we discuss how this company fares when measured against the criteria used to determine the quality of a PLR service.
What exactly does a PLR service do? The answer is quite simple: they provide content to website owners which they can use freely on their websites, or edit it before using. They don't have to link back to anyone or give credit to the authors. If you have a website where you want to display Google Adsense ads, affiliate links or any other form of advertisement, you might find this useful.
The most important factor to consider before choosing a PLR service is whether they provide quality content. You get many cheap PLR 'services' out there that will provide you with 50 pieces of junk generated in 5 minutes by using an article spinner. They might well be readable to a computer, and contain the correct keywords, but humans will stay as far away from them as possible. And humans is what you need if you want to build decent website traffic and generate clicks or sales.
In this respect Article Underground provides a quality service. They have real authors working for them, producing articles about subjects they know something about. These articles are all keyword researched and optimized for Toronto SEO.
That brings us to the next factor you should take into account when choosing a PLR service: The articles must have content which is relevant to your website. If your website is about Chinese dolls it won't help much if you fill it with articles about stock car racing.
To overcome this, some PLR services offer article packs about niche subjects. So you choose 5, 10 or 20 articles about a niche that fits in with the subject of your website.
In contrast Article Underground is a membership based service. All members get access to the same number of new articles every month. This could have counted heavily against them if it was not for the sheer volume of articles made available to members. They will give you access to 400 new articles monthly - in a variety of niche markets that are guaranteed to generate decent search engine traffic.
The next factor to take into account is how many members get to use the same content? There are membership based sites that place no restriction on the number of people joining. You could therefore end up with having the same content as 30 000 other members on your website. Unique content? Certainly not. This is where Article Underground also scores well. They will only accept 350 members for each membership phase. Not quite unique content, but certainly better than having the same content as 30 000 other members or paying a dedicated team of writers.
Added value is also something to look for in a PLR service. Do they give you some way to advertise your website? Are their tutorials on how to monetize the articles? Do they have a discussion forum so you can share ideas with other members?
Article Underground gets close to full marks in this regard as well. They have more than 20 high page-rank blogs where you can discuss your website and link back to the home page or to individual articles. They also have a lot of video tutorials and e-books to help you get started. The well-used forum is another plus.
This Article Underground review might sound overly positive, but the company certainly offers a good service and therefore deserves a good review.
