How To Get PLR Articles To Rank

Posted at December 6, 2010

I like using PLR articles for quite a few of my niche websites and rely mostly on Search Engine rankings for traffic on those sites. Here’s how to get those PLR articles to rank on your niche site.

Start With Some Keyword Research

I always start with some keyword research to find a long tail keyword that’s easy to rank for when I add a PLR article to one of my niche sites. My favorite tool for doing this is wordtracker.

For example, let’s say I have a PLR article about Google Analytics. I logged into my wordtracker account and searched for keywords containing “google analytics”. I may use a keyword like “features of google analytics” which is searched a few times per day and has hardly any competition

Craft A New Title

Next, it’s time to craft a new, unique title for the PLR article. I try to incorporate the keyword into the title as early as possible. In this case I may write something like: 3 Features Of Google Analytics You Should Be Taking Advantage Of .

Reword The First Few Sentences

Next, I simply copy and paste the body of the PLR article in as a post. Then I go back and edit the first few sentences of the PLR. I want to make it a bit more unique to make sure the search engines index it. I also want to be sure to include my keyword again somewhere within the first 100 words of the article. Doing this will help me rank better for the keyword.

Publish, Rinse and Repeat

Last but not least it’s time to publish the PLR based post and then move on to the next article. All in all the whole process doesn’t take me more than a few minutes. I can easily publish 10 articles in under an hour. I usually schedule them to go out over the course of a week to 10 days.

Give it a try and put that PLR content to work for you.

P.S. One of my favorite sources for quality PLR content is Easy PLR . You can see the most recent article and report packs available in the sidebar on the right.
