The Debris, Dumping, and Destruction Caused By Derivative Doo Doo Online Articles Discussed - By Lance Winslow

Electronic Publishing Houses for Online Articles have made quite a name for themselves over time. Today, there are 1000s of online article directory websites. Most have been recently over run with recently coined; "Frankenstein Articles" or software generated derivative articles, which are created by spinning articles previously written. For instance, an author steals and article or writes one, then spins the article in 5 or 10 derivative works. So, if he writes 5-10 articles he will have 50-100 articles.

All junk for the most part, but that is a significant quantity. Then they post these articles on the Internet at directory sites specializing in articles. Up until now no one has figured out what to do about it, the solution is simple; delete the members who use this software, but no directory has the balls to do it.

And realize this is the first generations of this software, and someday this type of software may actually produce nice articles, far better than the average human, but we do not live in the future, we live in the present, and the word I am getting is that the major search engines are about to de-list the directory sites with this garbage content.

Now then, at least one major online directory site is taking a stand, and it "appears" that this "electronic-publisher" is going to refuse articles that are PLR content, derivative articles created from software, or re-written content; or articles which are too thin in nature, with no value to the reader, as per their metric [rules] and so those article writers who do not want to play cards by those rules, must go sit at some else's table.

So, philosophically speaking here is the challenge at hand; There will be those who feel the rules had changed on them mid-game, after they'd already sat down, placed bets, and cards dealt. For those players, one could say that their concerns should be addressed after the current game is over, and prior to playing another hand.

Which seems to be the only hang up with certain players who feel slighted, even though in the end it is still a game under the under the roof of the house (article directory sites that publish these articles), which has been known to throw someone's butt out for cheating. In old west, they just used a six-shooter. But again, this is not the future or the Wild West past, this is the present in the current paradigm of the digital age.

Stay tuned, the plot thickens.
