Buying a website for income

I prefer Vanity Fair myself.

Yeah, the Hall of Mirrors is a popular attraction.

Won't that mean the content is distributed across lots of sites outside your control, affecting SEO due to duplicate content?
Unless it's your own article bank, modified from other sources, then spat out to your own web of sites.

I read about something called RSS morphing the other day. Interesting angle for changing content to look unique. Not sure how autonomous it can be made, using a thesaurus dictionary of words, but intriguing all the same.

I wasn't commenting on the validity of how good these web site are. I'm merely pointing out how they do it. There used to be a great market on ebay for those kind of sites and people would buy them for ridiculous amounts of money.

What's even worse than the duplicate content and it's SEO implications is the way they make them appear to generate income
