They have a problem with a 13 year old who writes like a 30 year old... and by that, I don't simply mean grammar. Every individual writes with a certain voice - they project differently. Children at age 13, no matter how talented, do not project the same voice as a 30+ year old. His posts are either written by an older individual or heavily edited by one.

I don't doubt that the boy is 13, but I seriously doubt that he is authoring posts like this on his own. Even incredibly gifted children at this age write with a younger voice - it's apparent to me that he is largely a front for someone else's writing (or intense editing).

Where have I claimed to write the content I've placed on my Affiliate Defined blog? By signing off with the footer 'David Wilkinson - Affiliate Marketing Expert' - which is automatically placed on every post by my anti-RSS-ripper plugin hardly makes me a criminal. For all you know, I could simply be publishing the article. Tony - I too give full accreditation to sources I use, where I feel is right, such as on my technology blog (TechZi.net) where I often quote (and link) other sources. However when you acquire the PLR rights to a product or a set of articles, linking to the homepage defeats the point of the object - spending money to get exclusive usage rights to an article. Tony - I'll bitch fight you any day after my product's launched. In the meantime, I'm busy making sure it kicks ass. ;) Feel free to let me know who I copied my blog idea, my product, my hairstyle and my toothbursh brand from too, whilst you're here.

David Wilkinson Says: July 24th, 2007 at 5:58 pm e In response to your comment on my Shoemoney blog, claiming I ripped the article from outside sources, I’d like to point out that infact, I did NOT. The articles on my Affiliate Defined blog at present are ALL articles I have purchased Private Lable Rights too, meaning I can use them as I want, and claim them as my own. It seems infact, that the site you referred to, may ALSO have used these articles. As for any content on Shoemoney, or blogs beside my own (which for now is merely a space filler), is all hand written by me, and me only. 2. Tony Says: July 24th, 2007 at 10:20 pm e That is a very interesting reply David - if you say that by paying for the use of someone elses writing you can do anything you want with it, including claiming them to be your own, then this is a sad state of affairs as it, to me, smacks of deception. Quoting other peoples comments, opinions and writing is normal, I do it all the time although I usually give full accreditation and sources if I know them, selecting writing which supports your own ideas is normal editorial practice, but publishing a whole piece from another site and claiming it to be your own writing can only make you look to be foolish at best and a much worse thing to most people. I am pleased you do claim to write your own content, but see what is happening - I immediately said "claim to write" - but you admit claiming that other peoples writing is your own on your blog. You have got plenty of time and clearly a lot to learn. 1. David Wilkinson Says:
