DO NOT COPY ANY CONTENT
I have an important announcement for you
Previously we have allowed affiliates to copy content that is owned and copyrighted to 2u. However, because of recent changes in Google’s calculations, sites that have very similar or identical words get penalised ie not ranked or ranked much lower in the search results.
So we cannot allow the 2u content (words) to be copied - its not good for you, and its not good for us. To be honest you are much better off with your own unique content, so it is in your own interest to create your own words.
So …
1. DO NOT COPY ANYTHING FROM www.2u.co.uk
2. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY COPIED from 2u.co.uk then you need to create your own words. Put it in your own unique words.
Our legal team have advised that we give everyone 2 months to fully remove all copied content from their sites. After 2 months (ie after 17th October 2007) we will be checking up on sites that are found to have copied from 2u, and making sure they remove all copied content.
Remember, it is not in your interest to have copied (duplicate) content and it is not in our interest to have our content copied.
We want to help you to sell, and that means having your own unique websites.
NOTE: Your own affiliate .2u.co.uk website is OK - Becase we control the content of thhe .2u.co.uk sites you do not nee to worry about this.
If you are using the phones datafeed then you DO NOT HAVE TO change the content (mostly the phones descriptions) but I would encourage and advise you to, for your own site’s quality.
If you have an INSTANT AutoPilot site (www.instantautopilot.com), again, you do not have to change the content (mostly the phones description - FYI the IAP sites use a different set of phones descriptions to the ones on 2u.co.uk which is why it is less important that you change the content), but I would encourage and advise you to, so your site is unique and different to others - you benefit from this.
If you want to get someone else to re-write your phones descriptions, I would recommend searching for a provider (at much lower cost) at www.elance.com
If you want to do it yourself, simply start small and do a few each day.
As a rule of thumb, make sure that no 5 consecutive words are identical. Reword it, change the words around AND use different words - insert other words, remove some words. Again, make sure that no 5 words in a row are the same as anything copied from 2u.co.ukor any other site.
If you have any questions, then contact me by replying to any newsletter you receive.
So please do not copy in future and please remove all wording you have copied from 2u.co.uk
I hope you can see why this is necessary and in everyone’s interest.
Thank you.
