Have you already started your lyrics site? Maybe you just wonder: "Why does the site "www.azlyrics.com" brings "5 digits" profit monthly? Why does my website brings me back only hosting fees?"
Well, you need answer a few other questions first:
1. Do you have the exclusive layout on your web-site or have the view of majority other "turnkey $25" lyrics scripts? 2. Do you have a daily updated and fresh content? 3. Do you have a powerful and feature-rich lyrics engine?
Most likely, your answers will be "No. No. No."
Ok, let's continue the digging into your problems with your previous lyrics site. There is one more question (it will be the last question ).
4. Did you planned to get the website with "5 digits" profit after investing $25 in it?
Yes, it looks like funny, but the majority of starting webmasters believe, that the simplest lyrics script which is available everywhere for the $25 can be used as a base for the successful lyrics site.
It's time to be realistic. It will be very hard to get success like "www.azlyrics.com" (it was easy 9 years ago but it is not easy nowadays). There are no grounds for the magic formula "Invest $25 and earn guaranteed $25,000 in a year" in real life. But if you are ready for hard working we can solve a lot of problems with your future high profit lyrics community. So we can provide for you:
1. 100% autopilot website. You will get the latest lyrics automatically from "www.azlyrics.com", "www.lyred.com", etc. Your site will be up to date without any efforts from your side. Google will LOVE your site for the TONS of the fresh content 2. The Exclusive designs. Build own brand and nobody will have the same design (there is no one from our rivals who can provide to you the exclusive design for the reasonable price ). 3. The most powerful lyrics script which you have ever seen. 4. Custom add-ons, especially for your site. 5. High load ready engine. We are the only lyrics script vendor, who can fuel your site with "memcached" and "nginx".

Nice idea, but even scrapping the content from other sites will not get you up, as you will have tons of duplicate content. Have you done anything to solve that problem?

Actually duplicate content is a long story
First of all, there are at least 2 types of the duplicate content Problem A - duplicate content on your site - 2 pages on your site with duplicate content Problem B - duplicate content between your site an dsome other site.
In order to solve "problem A" we have did manual content filtration. Most cheap lyrics script vendors have tons of the duplicates in their databases. Duplicate artists title, duplicate lyrics etc. Like
A Tribe Called Quest A Tribe Called Quest f Busta Rhymes A Tribe Called Quest f Noreaga A Tribe Called Quest F/ Busta Rhymes A Tribe Called Quest F/ Consequence A Tribe Called Quest F/ D-Life A Tribe Called Quest F/ Faith Evans A Tribe Called Quest F/ Leaders Of The New School, Hood A Tribe Called Quest F/ Noreaga A Tribe Called Quest F/ Red Alert
(thats simple copy paste from some of the our competitors demo site) From what I know, we are the only one lyrics script vendors, who can propose you almost "clean" database, with very small number of the duplicates.
As for the "problem B" - we do not have any solutions for it, because I do not see any possible ways how we can solve it.
From the search engines point of view. 1) Duplicates of the type A is much more easy to detect, in order to detect duplicates type B - you will need to do much more comparations. 2) All lyrics sites have duplicates of type B - it's simply can't be avoided because lyrics is the same. Basically it means, that if search engines set some penalty for the duplicates of type B - all lyrics sites have it.
From the webmasters point of view. Lyrics is a very high traffic segment of the internet. I would put it on position #7 (after video, news, sex, music, games and images). It means, that a lot of peoples search for the lyrics daily. (You can check overture keywords traffic - you may be surprised). Search engines need to find somebody for the first position. Some site from thousands of the sites with tons of the duplicates. If everybody have problem B, that factor will not play role. So if you plan to enter lyrics segment - you need to do something with problem A. Right now there are only 3 solutions 1) build database from zero - unrealistic amount of time needed 2) buy low quality database and filter it - too much time too 3) buy high quality database with high quality script, autoupdates and exclusive design - the best choice you can do
