How Beneficial is Free Web Content?

Do you trust free web content?



Free web content sounds good to everyone, but do you really want to publish things that are not yours and may not have any validity?

When you browse to a site that is filled with free news feeds, articles from an article directory or public domain content, doesn’t it make you lose creditability for the website publisher?

I have to tell you, for me it does. I respect a website owner and find their information much more credible if their content is original and reflects their knowledge.

You may be thinking, “I can’t write!”…

If you honestly can’t, then hire a content writer to write original website content for you. But, if you’re game, you can take this free course and learn how to write your own website content.

Does it Make Sense to Provide Free Financial Content?

If you have read much of my writing, you know that I am dead-set against using free website content. However, it does make sense to use free content in regard to providing rates on stock, bonds, interest rates, Libor rates and so forth, if you are responsible for financial website.

It will ensure that the rates that you are providing to your readers are correct. It would be an enormous task to provide such information by reading the Wall Street Journal and updating indexes and such.
