Writing/ Rewriting content

18 replies
Hey Warriors,

Just wanted to pick your brains in regards to content for niche sites and i wanted to know peoples opinions or taking articles from article directory's and re spinning them with the best spinner and putting them on your site would this be ok to do aslong as the content is read able and different to the original article, because the way i see it is it is very unlikey that there will be a article what is 100% unique (unless its in a language unknown to the world... alien language perhaps ha) so why not take a article spruce it up make sure its quality content then publish on your own site..


Any one got any opinions on this?

    Spun content can be useful for some people, but not usually the person reading it

    If you're going to spin articles - do it right. Change up the synonyms, add some content, remove some content, keep it readable, add images, bullet points, videos, etc.

    In the end, it's still spun content. It's only useful for you...

    Spun content takes just as long as manually rewriting, and if a spun article accidentally ranks it'll make you look terrible.

  • Most content on the web is copied from another form of content in one way in another so i personally dont think it should make much difference aslong as its read able and is good for google i dont see why people think its so bad,,

    Also Clenard77 where you speaking from as past experience were you tried this and the results where worse or just general thinking?

    Im sure some one must of experimented with both to see the results?! suppose it could be my next experiment lol

    Taking someone's article and spinning it is still stealing their content. Besides, honestly, it will probably only save you minutes compared to writing your own article!

    If you are writing for Traffic, its fine, if you are writing for human it can never be good enough to read.
    Second, Google really don't like spun content now it will become tough for you to survive for long time with spun content.

    This is my experience as i own 3 Article Directories with over 100K articles, over 30000 registered users and along with that around 30 content sites.

    Google penalized Article Directories these days as most of the directories are fludded with crap content.

    It's plagiarism, and that's not an opinion. It would be a "derivative work" and you would be violating copyright law, unless you give proper attribution (as per the law) OR you get express written permission from the author.

    On the other hand, you could write and spin your own articles, but you can't do it with someone else's.

    The "nothing is original" argument doesn't hold water here.

    Anyway, what you're describing IS plagiarism, so don't do it.

    All the best,
    Michael

    you better pay a writer to create a good and unique content. because sometimes visitors will know whether it is an article rewrite. and google also knows her, they are smarter now.

    you are only allowed to spin and rewrite an article if you have some plr rights on it. other than that it is called stealing and stealing is bad for business. I suggest that you hire someone that can do it for you if you cant write one.

    In my site I will write a content for only to publish on my site, but, if I am building links I write again for the sole purpose of publishing it to Article Directories and spun it every submission site.

    I dont even spin (using software) my own content really because it mostly comes out unreadable (to me) and I would rather just rewrite it myself

        Don;t auto spin articles, you can take 3-5 articles and combine them together into one article. then manually spin it or, best, re-write it

    Personally, it would be better if you re-write some articles on your own or by outsourcing rather than using some software. Like what other warriors have already stated, using an already written article is stealing. It is better if you could hire or outsource some freelance writer rather than stealing some writer's work.

    The software for spinning articles is good if you are targeting traffics. But if it is to be submitted as an article to a site or blog, then it would be better not to use that software since it will just give the site some poor content and would probably be a reason why people will no longer read its content. Writing an article need not to be as excellent or perfect to what others would want it to be. As long as the content and the idea are put in place accordingly, then there should be no problem to it.

    If you are not sure about writing your own articles and suspect you might spend hours working on just one article consider outsourcing. Hire someone from here or even Fiverr and get some original content to get you started.
