Private label articles are all over the internet now and are causing replication problems for those who use them. Neither article directories nor the search engines like duplicate content. They obviously do not want to send visitors to content which they have already read.

Some software is available which claims to be able to turn one article into a hundred different articles. I have not yet tried these out. Maybe there is an honest solution there.

At the moment, I prefer to write my own articles and have never claimed to have written an article by someone else. I would not feel happy doing so. Perhaps, I'm missing something?

However, the internet can make cheating much easier to do since it provides a cloak of invisibility and the shield of distance. It is easy to pretend to be someone else or something else or to just disappear when the complaints start coming in.

Others may not scam and cheat but they may well sell dubious products that are not what they claim to be or which they have not bothered to check out. They may overcharge the ignorant and prey on newcomers to the net.

Is it possible then when faced with such unscrupulous competition to succeed on the internet and keep your integrity or honesty?

The short answer is yes. You will not only succeed if you market with integrity; you are more likely to succeed.

You may in the short term make more money by telling lies about your products and then refusing to honor your refunds policy but in the end you will lose out because your reputation for honesty will disappear and people will no longer wish to buy from you or do joint ventures with you. You could even end up on the run or in prison.

Someone has said that you will succeed only to the extent that you help others succeed. You cannot help others to succeed by cheating them.

I have only rarely been let down by internet marketers but those who have treated me in a shoddy way have lost one of their best potential customers since I frequently spend money on internet products.

On the other hand, I remember those who treat me well and buy from them again and again. Their integrity or honesty pays off in the long term. I think most customers have the same attitude as me.

Even marketers with a good reputation cannot rest on their laurels. I have bought at least one product off a marketing guru with a good reputation whose product did not work for me and whose follow up help was perfunctory.

I no longer respect his reputation. I will think twice before buying anything from him again. I will certainly not sell his product to anyone else as his affiliate. If I did, I would soon lose my own reputation and my own integrity.

Of course, any one can make a mistake and sell something that appears excellent but isn't. The honest marketer will acknowledge the mistake and make amends either by refunding any money involved or by supplying a better alternative if that is preferred.

Private Label Products are currently very popular but some aspects of the Private Label phenomenon concern me. You are told gleefully that you can change the name of the product and even add your own name as if you were the creator.

What about the people who have already bought the product under its original name and then buy your version of it because they think it is a new product? They may then be refused a refund because some slight changes have been made to the original which they already have.

What about the people who have problems with the product and expect you to be able to give them answers when you may not have a clue about the source code of the product since you are not a genuine software developer?

The original developer of the product will not want to know about your troubled customers; they will have plenty of their own to deal with!

I like the idea of private label products which you can alter and improve and maybe add a pen name to but the concerns above are real ones and integrity or honesty is right at the heart of them.
