Invest in unique content
At the start of my internet marketing carrier I was building my sites with articles from article directories. Those articles have been already published on thousands of sites. In first few days I got few visitors from SE and than Google marked my site as duplicated and my traffic disappered. All of my time I spent on designing, link building was wasted.
Than I have realised I won’t make any money from those low-quality articles and I have decided to write few articles by hand. But English is not my first language and I realised I just can’t write articles about niches I’m not interested in. That’s why I started writing this blog. I read webmaster blogs for a quite a long time and I learned how to write this type of articles.
After few weeks of writing this blog I realised I can’t make a lot of money from this blog - internet marketing is very competitive niche and advertisers don’t pay much. I start thinking about building content sites in niches with well paid ads and low competition. But everytime when it comes to content building I realised I don’t have enough writing skills to write few ten articles about my niche.
I was searching for solutions on webmaster forums. I bought few content splitters(programs, which makes duplicated articles unique), but the output was terrible(human unreadable content). Then I found one guy who write articles for $5 per piece. Now I create desing, do niche research and link building, but I outsource content writing.
If you want SE traffic you need unique content. So, invest in your content. If you have enough writing skills just write articles, if you don’t have enough skills like me, outsource content developing.

Making website with content from article directories was quite successful get-rich-fast method before Google invents duplicated content filter.
P.s.: degree dropout, I like your blog
