Warriors, Need Help To Fix This Mess!

In my opinion, any spun article should be used for SEO purposes only. If you want content that makes sense, then you need a re-write and I usually get a person on Fiverr to do it for me.

On your website, the content you have should definitely be very readable and engaging.

In short, Spun articles have their place, but not on your main site.

First thing you should do is read the forum rules (In the stickies at the top of the forum)

Rule #1

If you have a problem with another Warrior, a Guru, or God, take it up with them directly. Not here. No exceptions.

(I didn't em-bold that. That is how it is written)

No-one has any way of confirming what you agreed with the other party and at best it will turn into a he said/she said.

Your only option is to work it out with the person you bought the service from. In general that is not difficult on the forum as most people here are very fair and helpful.

Just make sure that you have actually contacted them correctly. If their sales thread tells you to contact a helpdesk or a specific support email the make sure you do that.

Posts in threads, even sales threads and Private Messages can often not get looked at for some time. Even emails can go missing or get missed.

Spun articles should never be put on a main website. Were you clear about what you wanted? I can't imagine that anyone would agree to spin articles and make sure they are up to your high standards, especially if you paid a bargain bin price. If they did then they were either A.) confused at what was wanted, or B.) planning on ripping you off. Since you say they have good reviews on here, I would bet the former.

How long has it been since you last contacted them on email and they answered? I'm not trying to disparage you in any way, and I do hope you get things straightened out.

So basically, you got what you paid for. Spun content is normally garbage. As for posting on the WF about your problem with a vendor, read Rule #1 of the WF, which has already been quoted in this thread.

Honestly, I think it's probably A LOT more trouble than it's worth to try and fix it. Just don't use that guy anymore. Anytime you hire someone you don't know to spin an article you're taking a risk on quality.

You might need to hire and train someone to do it the way you want it done. Try odesk or something.

Or you can spin the articles yourself with the best spinner. Here's how you do it.

Spin several articles for your niche manually.

Save the synonyms (you think will always work) to your favorites. They have to be highlighted when you save them.

Protect all the terms you know will never spin well. make sure your settings are saved before you close the program. sometimes the protected terms don't save unless you see the settings saved message in the bottom right hand corner. You should be all set now. It should have taken several hours.

Once you've done that, take a new article. Replace your favs first. Then replace Everyone's best 3 favs.

Remove all the nested spinning.

Edit the places here and there that don't make sense. should have only took 5 or 10 mins.

Now go to Fiverr and and hire someone who will submit you spun article to whatever service you want. or subscribe to the service yourself.

Hope that helps. It will make more sense if you have the best spinner in front of you when you read this. That's how I do it and it only takes me about 5 mins to spin a readable article with a minimum 40% uniqueness. Just be careful which favs you save and which terms you protect.

I don't like having pages of gibberish linking to my sites either.

I don't know how much you paid for the article or the spinning but consider it a lesson. Spinning articles is dead. Forget it. Just like massive backlink submission is dead.

There's a major change coming over the Internet that will steamroll anyone who doesn't get hip to it really quick. Google and the rest of the giants have gone to war on people dropping crap all over the place. And it doesn't matter if it's a cool SEO strategy or not. It's over.

If you got one decent article out of the deal consider yourself lucky and re-think your entire business model because scraping, spinning and spamming is dead. Not saying you're doing all of those things, just sayin'

To answer your question, yes, in most instances you should be able to back-track and delete the spun articles from where they have been submitted. If your guy used AMR and used spin text for the account username then it's going to be a long winded process of finding where they are, which username/password belongs to which directory, and then logging into your accounts to delete them.

My advice would be to forget about it. The types of places that accepted your articles in their sh*tty spun format are not going to be read by people who you care about and they're not going to turn up all over Google SERP's either.

That's the good news, the bad news comes when you have to reflect on the stupidity of your actions and decide "what the hell was I thinking".

You claim to care about your reputation then you hand it all on a plate to some guy you met on WF and give them the OK to go ahead and dismantle it.

Also, forget about trying to point the finger unless you can bend it 180 degrees at the knuckle.

Good luck.

Wow .. who would have ever guessed you would have paid a Warrior to spin articles for you and they would come back a garbled mess?

Ah, which is it? Maybe the key is where you say it was not spun correctly. Bingo! It takes more work to spin an article than it does to write something decent in the first place. If you've come to that conclusion then you're miles ahead of millions of people who will continue to screw around and waste time. Good luck.

Folks, we need to get rid of rule #1 - yes number one. I for one, what to know who is ripping off other warriors. It smells rotten in this room. Hey, fellow warriors, if we do not clean up. Well, our gov will, and there will be no forum no more.

That would be bad for all of us. People who asked to be paid up front are scammers. They take the money -n- run!

It's like you got an instant mini-course in spinning articles!

1. What's the difference between spinning and re-writing an article?
2. Do you really want spun articles linking back to your site?
3. Do spun articles cheapen your brand and reputation?
4. The dangers of spinning articles; are you making these newbie mistakes?

And Finally:

Get the most out of your mistakes. You already paid for them, so you might as learn something!

And thank you for posting because, as a newbie, I just learned a lot myself. Including an important forum rule that I didn't know before. I should go read those.

I don't see the part where anyone failed to give you the advice you asked for. Unless of course you were really just looking for people to support your indignation and desire to name names against forum rules. But that would be silly.

Pick up, dust off, and carry on. Best of luck

Spun articles are junk. Just don't do it. It's like throwing garbage out your window, you are littering up the internet.

Should get a ticket for that.

Ever want to research something on the internet and had to wade through a bunch of trash? Well there you go...

To the OP: You should have already asked for a refund from your supplier. If you have not you should. And if that request has fallen on deaf ears, you should file a dispute with your payment provider.

Or maybe...
