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

I prefer Vanity Fair myself.

Yeah, the Hall of Mirrors is a popular attraction.

Any pleb can get an A in English without so much as needing to consult the Oxford dictionary. No need to seeing as it's infested with slang and words that are in vogue.

I've seen quite a few which have obviously been through a bidirectional google translate and touched up by a four year old before publication.

Nothing that complicated. RSS feeds, article libraries, use your imagination

Where does the content originate? Someone else's website, so the feeds are just scraping other sites, most likely without permission?


That's usually the cheapest way of obtaining content.
