What do you think? Is it all marketing hype to sell more products or is there really a problem?
On the one hand you've got people saying, "Go to those free article sites and just put something up."
Then others say, "Don't get dropped due to duplicate content. Rewrite the thing (using our software) and soar to the top of the search engines." I exaggerate a bit :)
Still, its hard to separate the truth from the marketing!

No it's not. Google doesn't like duplicate content. It also rewards unique content that's good enough to attract natural inbound links.
Search on Google for...

...and you'll get 77,500 results [google.com].
Also, don't believe anyone who says that a certain technique will get you ranked quickly. Slow and steady is the way to go.
