Where to find free content for my website?

Ok! I hope this isn't a silly question, but I would like to find quality health related content, and articles for my new website like Lisa recommended. I have tried some of the sites without much luck. Can anyone help?? Thanxs!

These days you have to be careful with pre-written content because you can get penalized for the duplicate content penalty. Taking an article or two is fine but I would highly recommend you use mostly original content.

So you've browsed all the article directory sites like ezinearticles and articlecity?

There's also a service called PLR articles (I think it stands for Private Label Rights) where you can use the articles without placing a reference link back to the author and you can change the content any way you wish to avoid getting a penalty. It's great for people who have writer's block or need ideas for content.

Now if I can find the link. I think I read about it in Allan Gardyne's newsletter once.

WOW! Thanks for your suggestion on the PLR articles, because I didn't want to use articles with links.

The only thing is, I don't think PLR is free and I know you said you were looking for free articles. But I doubt you'll be able to get articles with no links for free.

Just wanted to know: Why don't you write them yourself?

I am actually writing tons of content also, I was just looking for other sources

In that case, you can take look at http://infogoround.com/

Its a membership site providing quality PLR articles at around $25 per month. But if you submit your own article to them then they will pay you that amount back.

I've heard of bloggers creating e-friends who are bloggers on similar topics, and offering to write for each other. It's an interesting idea to get both links and content.

nikkii30 If you have tons of content why not let us know what it is. Give us some samples. Or put your website, blog on your bio page so we can see what you are doing.

I am approaching 60 and would love to know more about health related issues.

I am also building a content based website. What I have done is read chapters in books and taken notes. I go to the LIBRARY everyday for at least 4 hours and gather my information.

Now I am writing all the pages putting them into one folder and then reviewing them before I publish them. This is the long and hard way but I belive it's the best.
