Replacing Spun Copy Of Article With 100% unique on web 2.0 ranking fairly high?

Hi, I have a piece of spun content that is on webs dot come that is currently ranking #11 for a term getting 5,400 exact searches per month. It is also ranked in the #15 spot for another term getting 5,400 exact search, #22 for a term getting 22k exact searches per month and #25 for a term getting 18,100 exact searches. This really was nothing that was planned for. It is just a backlink to my main domain that I was throwing links at to give juice to my main blog and it just sort of floated near the top.

Now it seems to me that this property has king of topped out because the article on it is spun and not original. Even though I have kept building links to it google doesn't seem to want to move it up any higher for these terms. Would it be a wise move to remove the article on this page and replace it with a 100% original article? This is a simple webs dot com site with just a homepage and the 1 article on that page. Would it be a good idea to just take down the spun copy posted and replace it with a fresh 100% original article and continue backlinking it is the question? I am very interested to hear your opinions on this guys.

Thanks in advance
Rick

    I wouldn't remove all the content on there, but I would just start adding fresh, 100% unique content. It's pretty good that it's ranking in those positions.

    Here's a question I never see addressed at all. If you're spinning articles to get higher ranking and you do get it, what happens when someone actually clicks onto your site from Google and comes and reads some spun nonsense?

    I know I won't stay on a site like that and I find this fairly common when I'm researching for some writing I need to do. I mean, doesn't that defeat the purpose of being on high in PR? Please, splain this to me cause I'm new to all this stuff.

      That's the problem with spun content. A lot of marketers use it to get ranks, but then a lot of their sites with all the spun content pointing back to the money site pick up good ranks and they're stuck with lots of good traffic reading non-converting spun traffic.

      I always try to spin my content in a way in which is will always make sense. Just throwing up quick 300 word blurbs of useless content surrounding a money site link isn't good especially when that web 2.0 site starts getting good traffic.

      I've even adding 1 high quality article to each web 2.0 after I add a semi-crappy spun article to it and it works out well for me.
