I am adding a new site to the sites I already own. This is a site were I supply article about the subject, a informational site if you will. I am by no means an expert in this field and will not be writing my own article's, so my question is how does it work with posting other people's articles? I will in no way be plagerizing article, I am wondering if you include your source and the name who wrote the articl and the site you got it from is it ok to post the article on your site? I will be adding a rss feed but want to know about actual articles themselves. Is it ok to post other peoples articles as long as you tell everyone wherer you got it?

One thing you might want to pay attention to is Google doesn't list sites with duplicate content. That means if you publish a article someone else has published on their site.. both of you get knocked off the list.

A good alternative is to advertise in webmaster forums looking for writers for certain articles. Some writers will write for free or for as little as $5 a article. Usually they just require a link back to their site.

Original content is the way to go. Duplicates are just deleted.

Yes it is always best to write your own articles. If you can get hold of some PLR articles, you can rewrite them in your own words. Think of it as starting point to your own article writing

It's not at all best to write about a subject you don't know - the person asking this question recognizes he isn't an expert in his field, and that he'll get better quality text by deferring to the experts.

But far more important is that you can't just take somebody else's text and change a few words!

I agree totally with John, just rewriting an article when you have no idea about the subject the article is based on will more than likely result in an article that looks and sounds garbage to the people who the article is intended to intice (the people who do know the subject matter) or it will end up looking like its ben reproduced with automated software (which are pretty much illegible)

If you cant write the article yourself and have the common sense not to rip of anyone elses work (which wil more than likely get you into hot water) its best to pay a ghost writer to write an original article for you, you will normally not need any link to their site as you have paid for the exclusive rights to publish the article.
