Just a bit about search engine optimization.

Before we proceed with this Article Underground Review, we will briefly discuss what this type of service is and how to distinguish between a good and bad service provider in this field.

What exactly does a PLR service do? The answer is quite simple: they provide content to website owners which they can use freely on their websites, or edit it before using. They don’t have to link back to anyone or give credit to the authors. If you have a website where you want to display Google Adsense ads, affiliate links or any other form of advertisement, you might find this useful.

Probably the most important thing to look out for when using a PLR service is the quality of the content they provide. It’s useless if they provide you with 100 “seo optimized” pages generated by computers for computers. Then you could just as well have used one of the free article spinner packages available for download all over the Internet. What you want is quality content created by humans for humans.

In this respect Article Underground does well. They have a team of authors that are highly experienced. The articles are of a good quality and entertaining. They also contain well researched keywords mentioned at strategic places in the article to get the attention of search engine spiders.

Another factor to consider when selecting a PLR services is relevance. If your website is about Eskimos and their lifestyle, you would hardly benefit from filling it up with articles about the benefits of a certain divorce lawyer in New York.

To get 100% relevant articles, you would have to hire your own team of articles writers. Or write them yourself, which only makes sense if you have lots of time available and don’t need to make money soon. Another option is to buy packs of articles from a PLR service about a particular subject. If you can find articles that will fit in with your website, that is not a bad idea.

Membership based sites like Article Underground do not follow this strategy. Your membership entitles you to receive a certain number of articles every month. This could well work out badly for the individual website owner, but Article Underground solves the problem by giving you access to 400 new articles every month – in a variety of carefully researched niche subjects – so you can choose only those that fit in with your website.

This brings us to the next question: how many other members get access to the same content? There are some membership based PLR sites that place no limit on the number of people signing up. You might end up with 20 000 other members using the same content as you on their websites. This is not a recipe for unique content! Article Underground solves this potential problem by only accepting 350 members for each phase of membership. While this is not 100% unique content, it surely beats sharing it with 20 000 other members, or paying a team of article writer to write 400 unique articles for you every month.

A final criteria when choosing a PLR service is whether they provide added value. Things like tutorials on how to use their articles to make money, discussion forums so members can exchange ideas and possibly even the opportunity to advertise your website for free.

Article Underground gets close to full marks in this regard as well. They have more than 20 high page-rank blogs where you can discuss your website and link back to the home page or to individual articles. They also have a lot of video tutorials and e-books to help you get started. The well-used forum is another plus.

This Article Underground review might sound overly positive, but the company certainly offers a good service and therefore deserves a good review.
