That is not a terrible idea in many cases. Thougands of sites rank well using content from the sites’ owners. if you use the write-it-yourself appraoch, keep the following aspects in mind:

1. Writing content is time consuming, even for good writers. You may want to evaluate whether you can devote the time to writing and maintaining your own content and then allocate time in your schedule to do so.

2. Many people are not good writers. Not only is the writing process time consuming, but also the results are often rather pathetic. Not everyone could handle the job by themselves and get good results easily.

3. If you do write yoru own stuff, pleeze spill chuck it. Then have it edited by someone who is well educated and have talents in writing. Do not rely on the word processor’s grammar checker. The tool is only beneficial to the ones that has already got a good grasp of grammar. It would be worse than useless for most writers in the field.

The content provider can use this technique to update the content on dozens or hundreds of sites by simply changing the source file.
But, if you are adding content for keyword purposes, automatic updating many not be such a good thing. If you find an article with lots of nice keywords, it can be gone shorlty. Manually inclusion techniques ensure that the article you placed remains in place and also allow you to break the article into chunks via adding keyword-laden headings.
