03-18-2010 Edit: PLRPro.com has just completed a complete revamping of their site and product. The owners have completely changed what they are offering. Now, you can get up to four components that they offer:
Section One: Content (250 unique articles in 25 niches each month)
Section Two: Training (Four-step process to making $4,000 each month)
Section Three: Site Creation (Create preconfigured affiliate websites using WordPress within five minutes, without any knowledge of how to put up a site)
Section Four: Traffic Generation (gain additional traffic by getting backlinks using ArticleMarketingAutomation.com)
I am very impressed with the changes they have made, and MUCH prefer the PLR articles they are now sending members.

Writing content for a website can be extemely time-consuming work. For some, it is even torture! Finding pre-written articles that you can legally use on your own sites is the perfect answer for many site owners. This is why many people use PLR articles.
PLR stands for Private Label Rights. It means, you can use PLR articles in any way you see fit, within the terms of the articles. The terms vary from source to source, but typically you are allowed to publish the articles and claim them as your own, but you can’t sell them or give them away.
Enter PLRPro. PLRPro is one of many PLR membership sites. For a monthly fee you are given 11 different articles packs, each containing 40 articles, and header graphics that match each pack’s niche or theme.
You might wonder why you would want to pay the monthly price from just a bunch of articles and graphics. I once thought that, too. Truth be told, I was a member of PLR Pro in early 2008, and quit a month later. The articles were fine, but I didn’t really know what to do with them.
What a difference a year makes!
Features of PLR Pro
In late 2008 I rejoined after finding out they had overhauled the site and added a lot of features (with more to come!). As of this writing I have been a member for five months and have no plans to quit again. The changes the site owners made has significantly improved the site for all members. This PLRPro review is based on my most recent experience with them.
First, you still get the article packs and graphics. Included with the graphics, for those who have Photoshop, are the .psd versions of the graphics, so you can modify them, if you want. Or, you can use them as is. They are high quality headers that can be used without modification.
Newly added to the site is a tool that aims to make various aspects of creating and promoting a site as easy as pressing a button. The reality of this tool is that there are still bugs to be worked out, which is frustrating at times. The frustration mostly comes from seeing the potential of this tool, knowing that it can do so much more than it sometimes does. But when it works properly, it can’t be beat!
The tool, called the Project Green Button (or PGB), makes creating a new site a super simple process. Simply enter a few details about the site, choose a theme for the site and your article pack, and the PGB tool builds the site in minutes. You can also use PGB to edit any page, or add new pages.
There will soon be a modification to PGB that will allow it to make WordPress blogs, which is very exciting! I prefer to create sites using WordPress, not HTML.
The PGB tool also has several promotional tools. From within PGB you can launch:
- RSS Submit. This will allow you to submit your site’s RSS feed to several well-known sources.
- Social Bookmarking. This will allow you to submit your site, or pages within your site, to many well-known sources.
- Article Marketing Automation. This will allow you to submit articles to the AMA site, to help you gain backlinks to your site.
These three tools are incredibly helpful to have. The services they provide are important for gaining traffic to your sites and getting important backlinks (links from other sites to yours). Having them as part of PGB is incredibly helpful in that PGB keeps track of your login information, and you can do everything from one location. This is SO much easier than having to go to each site individually!
PGB does not submit sites to directories. If you want to do this then you will have to do it on your own or use separate software.
Included in your membership with PLRPro is free access to AMA. AMA is an amazing resource and will be covered in another review. I love using AMA and think that this, alone, makes the membership worth it. Throw in the PGB tool and this is an incredible deal for people who plan on creating multiple sites.
The owners of PLRPro want you to succeed when you join their site. To accomplish this, they have created a step-by-step blueprint of how to make $2000-$6000 per month within 12 months. They tell you exactly what to do to achieve this financial goal.
Is the blueprint realistic? Yes!
There are no difficult steps. All are easily accomplished. The most difficult aspect is actually doing them. And to help you do each step, there is a spreadsheet that you use to track your progress. The key is to complete each step each week for six months. You can go beyond six months, but the spreadsheet is only for this length of time.
There were one or two areas that confused me on the spreadsheet. While I think I know what I’m supposed to do with them, I was not positive. Fortunately, there is a great forum for members. I posted questions about what I was confused about and got answers pretty quickly.
In and of itself, PLRPro is a great program. However, it is not the end-all, be-all of site creation and promotion. It is my opinion that this site is a perfect match for Crowd Mountain. What you learn as a member of Crowd Mountain will help immensely with your membership to PLRPro. Among other things, Crowd Mountain goes deep into explaining about keyword research, which is glossed over at PLRPro.
While it may be tempting to simply start posting articles on your site, I urge new members to actually watch the tutorial videos and read the written instructions. Even if you think you know a topic, it is important, as you may have been doing something wrong and not even know it.

I joined PLR Pro in November 2008 and left the same month. The quality of the articles was abysmal.
Mark Ling of affilorama recently offered a bonus pack produced by PLR Pro and again the quality was very poor. The guys were so embarrassed they sacked some of there staff and have rewritten much of it for which I commend them
I wonder whether things have improved since then? How are you finding the quality?

@ Mike,
Interesting comment. I have had very little problems with the quality of the article packs. I seem to recall reading in their forum that they did hire new writers, but I was unaware that was the reason.
The only complaint I can come up with regarding the articles is that there have been a few grammatical or spelling errors. But, it hasn’t bothered me because the articles are meant to be rewritten. I just correct them as I rewrite the articles.
Other then that, I’ve been impressed with the quality. I’ve also been impressed with the keyword research done for each article. I have Market Samurai, which is THE best keyword research tool (IMO), and I have done my own research for several articles. In EVERY instance, the keywords targeted in the articles has been the best keyword or keyword phrase to target. It shows me that they are doing their homework.

That’s good to hear. When I clear my current backlog I may give them another go. If grammar and the odd typo are the only problems that is a big improvement.
Apparently some of their old team of writers was outsourcing the content themselves and returning inferior work which was slipping through quality control. You want to see the garbage I got on hot tubs. It was virtually unreadable!
I agree with you on Market Samurai it’s an excellent tool. I’m not sure about those SEOTC figures mind following the latest update.
