Whoa, everybody settle down.

Danielle - I didn't say I would consider it cheating. I said it would look like an attempt at cheating. I am a tired and grumpy link list owner, and I see cheaters lurking around every corner. It's a hazard of the job.

But you're right, cheating is a harsh word. It would be more appropriate to say that I would be likely to recognize the content, at least subconsciously, and deny the site on that basis.

Probably I am just overreacting to the few bad eggs who re-use the same templates and content over and over and over again. I apologize for making a sweeping generalization based on those few.

Good point. However - think of it from a link list owner's point of view. Say I only get two or three submissions a week to a given niche...what happens after a few months when many of those sites contain the same content? Is it better to have many sites with duplicate content, or a few sites with unique content? The answer is going to vary from list to list.

As I understand, You prefer the cheapest hundreds of times seen content instead of semi exclusive content a cpl of times a month?

Kindly don't put words in my mouth/post. We're building free sites here - I don't expect exclusive content. I also don't expect to see the same $3 set cropped and re-cropped ad naseum. You can indeed buy hundreds or even thousands of images at extremely reasonable prices, and not all of it is overexposed.

Instead You would prefer some cheap content photos which are 3 years old and have been seen over and over again

If you're submitting with different templates to different niches, that would not be a problem. My complaint is with people who recycle the same content in the same templates promoting the same niches, over and over again. I'm not accusing anyone here of doing that - I think most people here know better. For that reason alone, you might be surprised how often it does happen.

Again, I apologize for my knee-jerk reaction. I didn't express myself well. Re-using content is certainly not a mortal sin, but there are ways to do it right, and ways to do it wrong.
