- Interest for your visitors – firstly and most importantly, original content gives your visitors something to read, something that they have not seen in multiple other places.
- Avoiding being buried on search engines – due to the supplemental results system if a spider indexes duplicate content it will lump it all-together and your site will get buried. Search engines will also penalise you if you have duplicate content.
- SEO – it is said that for SEO it is better to have a few pages of original content than hundreds of copy that can be found elsewhere
- It may well be against the merchants rules or even breaking copyright
- Copy and paste is just lazy
