So here’s something to get you thinking really hard. Especially if you desperately want to make money off the internet. If you have a website with 1,000,000 “unique” articles, you could potentially make SIX FIGURES a year!!! In case you were born yesterday, this basically means that you would make between $100,000 to $999,999 a year!!! You’re probably asking yourself how you would come up with all these articles, and why exactly would you make that much money. Now I can’t tell you exactly how you can come up with 1,000,000 articles on a budget, but I can tell you why you would make six figures. The fact of the matter is, Google and Yahoo love websites with lots of “unique” content. If you had 1,000,000 million articles on your website, they would literally bow down and kiss your feet!!! If you properly optimized each page using unique page titles and meta content, you should do very very well with your traffic.
After you get your traffic, you’ll need a way to monetize your website. Since most of your visitors will be reading your articles, I would recommend you go along with Google Adsense. In order to maximize your earnings with Adsense, you’ll have to experiment with various sizes, placements, and colors to know what works best. While everyone seems to have their own theory on this, I would recommend you go with your own instinct since every website is unique.
So you’re probably still asking yourself “Ok. How the heck do I come up with the content?!”. Since you want to come up with “unique” content, the best thing you can do is write it yourself. Now you’re probably not going to be able to write 1,000,000 articles by yourself even if you dedicated your entire life to it! Another thing you can do is hire somebody off a website such as GetAFreelancer.com to “rewrite” some articles that you like. Depending on who you hire, this can cost anywhere from $.50 to $3.00 an article. When the freelancer is done, check their work on CopyScape.com to see if it isn’t repeat content. Even if the freelancer rewrote 50% of the article, it could still be considered as repeat content. Therefore, if CopyScape.com can brings up the “original article” in its results, you should ask the freelancer to do a better job.
The best FREE way to build unique content on your website is to get other internet marketers to submit it to your website. You know how some SEO experts tell you to add a blog onto your website for SEO purposes. A great alternative is to add an SEO-friendly article directory to your website. A great script I would recommend is Article Directory Pro. Make sure you advertise your article directory on your homepage either with a custom banner or with an obvious link so that people will know its there. You should only accept unique content since content that has been overly distributed isn’t worth a lot for SEO purposes.

You’re right, that certainly gives us something to think about. I’ll be keeping this one at the back of my mind today.
I’m curious though, what did you read that led you to make these conclusions?
Thanks!
