Are you a blogger? Do you use article marketing to add content to your blog? Is article marketing a big part of your Internet Marketing Strategy for Search Engine Optimization? If you answer yes to these questions then you must be very, very careful and read this article about the wide spread epidemic of article marketing fraud.
You may be the next victim! If you are reading this article then I can assume that you visit article directories.
Some people visit these directories just to find interesting reading material, but the majority of people visiting an article directory are generally looking for articles that they can use in their article marketing campaigns.
They generally wish to find articles that they themselves can use in their blogs or web page creations.
If you own any type of Internet Business or work as an affiliate marketer then you know that the buzz around town is all about Article Marketing Software.
The catch phrase "Content is King" is a reality but the King is sadly being usurped by article mongering pirates.
These article marketing tactics are bombarding us in almost every email we receive.
I don't know about you, but I am finding that any time I give my email address for a free eBook on a subject that interests me I am then flooded with marketing emails about how to improve my standing in the search engines by simply using article marketing software or PLR (Private Label Rights) articles or ghostwriters to continually add new content to my site.
The sad thing is that many people will read these emails and think to themselves that it makes a lot of sense.
Why not use these services to get extra content to your websites? We all know that our rankings in the search engines is based greatly on keyword dense content that is relevant to our business.
It all sounds so easy, so innocent, but beware of the aftermath.
All that glitters is not gold.
The capitalization of others people hard work in article marketing is being ravaged by the unethical rampage of these plagiarizers.
They tell you to take the hard work of honest people who are trying to make a living by creating good quality content and place this content in their filters and voila!You have new, authentic content! Hello! How can the content be authentic if it is derived on the work of the original.
This is Plagiarism, Copyright Infringement, and unethical.
Plagiarism is the act of taking and using ideas and passages from other peoples work, in our case article marketing.
This will produce duplicate content and will definitely get your site noticed by the search engines but not for the purposes you are pursuing.
It's so easy to pass this stuff off as if it doesn't matter.
Many think "Who am Ihurting?" The truth is that it is an unethical practice and by using these tactics you yourselves are accomplices to these thieves.
You are relying on software that you purchase in order to boost your rankings at the expense of ethics and are going against the laws of copyright.
What can you do to prevent this? 1) Don't buy the software that is being promoted all over the Internet.
2) If you use a ghostwriter make sure that they themselves are doing the research and not duplicating other peoples articles.
3) Research and write your own unique articles so you are certain that you are being honorable in your business dealings.
What you can do about websites that duplicate your content? 1) You can write to the webmaster who has used your article improperly for content for their site and ask them to either remove the article or to give you the full credit that is due by including your bio box that goes with your article.
2) You can send a notice to the following website: http://www.

html for Digital Millennium Copyright Act Infringement.
Don't become a victim.
Don't be gullible by purchasing software or using ghostwriters that are obviously unethical.
(Please note: I am not saying that all ghostwriters are unethical.
Many are very good researchers and writers but be sure to check out their work before making any contracts with them).
Read Article Directories, but do so to get ideas not to take their phrases and hard work and try to pass it off as your own.
All the best of luck in your marketing endeavors Sharron
