A Word About Article Spinning

If they do it's their choice, it just makes things easier for us who actually write our articles and don't rely on spinning our articles into garbled text that looks like a 5 year old wrote it.

Despite your good intentions, some people will just look for the easiest and quickest option, not always the best option.

You are right. I always prefer to make original articles. I believe that a well written article has a power to keep visitor reading your sites content.

But at the same time I wanna say that article writing is very tough job. Everyone doesn't capable of writing articles.

You know what, I'm probably going to get strung from pillar to post for saying this, but here goes: I don't think there is anything wrong with spinning articles as long as it is done properly.

I'll qualify this- I of course mean spinning my own articles, and would never condone the use of spinning as a way to pass off stolen content as your own. I also understand that some people do not believe that spinning an article so that it can be distributed to different web 2.0 properties is an effective strategy. Fewer still are those who agree with submitting spun articles to a wide range of directories. I don't intend this post to raise questions about those issues, as let's face it we could open a series of new threads dealing with them.

When I spin an article, I will take the desired prose and paste it into a spinner. The choice of program really, really doesn't matter- and I use the cheapest one I could get my hands on. (Rewriter Demon, for those interested) The reason for this is that the functionality of the program is irrelevant to me- all I need is something that can handle Spintax.

I then proceed to go through the article, usually breaking it up into smaller paragraphs for the sake of editing. Rather than just changing words for synonyms, I will usually provide alternatives for entire sentences, often using nested spintax on individual words within the sentences to provide greater uniqueness.

The key is, of course, to make sure that any articles turned out by the spinning process make perfect sense and read just as well as the original article. This isn't the easiest task, but for those who are willing to put in the time and effort (a 500 word article can take me up to an hour to properly setup), the result is a set of high-quality articles that allow a degree of uniqueness to be retained.

Again, my point here is not to debate why this method may be used, merely to demonstrate that 'spinning' is not neccesarily a byword for badly written articles. In short, machine spinning = bad, human spinning = good.

i do believe article spinning is just waste of time,

The first time i tried an article spinner, it was laughable. I spent more time editing the article than i cared to do. I only stick with 100% unique articles.

I can show you plenty of websites that have 100% original non-spinable articles that are complete unreadable rubbish.

It's certainly true that spinning articles can produce unreadable (very easily), but it doesn't necessarily have to be the case.

Sounds a similar vain of thought to my rant about pointless blogs!!!

I think that most people that spin articles don't intend them to be the content that the target user reads.

They use the spun articles to submit to article directories (the crappy ones) and blog networks (if any are still even indexed) in order to get back links to their (hopefully) good quality article which they are trying to rank.

Of course now with Google de-indexing all the blog networks and devaluing these types of links, there really is no benefit to spinning articles at all anymore. None.

Sadly, lots of people won't believe this because the majority of folks want to believe there is a push button solution to making money online.

I only use original content on my own website. I use spun articles from time to time in my link building.

Yes I agree Because The spiined articles sometimes rejected by article directories or even web 2.0 such a big waste.

There's soem value to spun content. Use it for your article submission , build backlinks, etc.

I'm not against article spinning but the question is whether or not it is worthwhile these days. At one point it certainly was effective but as mentioned the warehouses of spun content are getting delisted or haven't really provided quality backlinks for a long time.

I use spinning on a limited basis but if it died tomorrow I wouldn't be that upset. It's the kind of fabrication that makes you roll your eyes but if it works, it works.

At some point it will be more cost-effective to just outsource rewrites instead of spinning or create new content (it already is in many cases). That's probably not a bad thing to look forward to...well, except for those people who are REALLY good at spinning.

As above - electronic spinning and the human spinning which is usually outsourced and hence gives that uniquely unreadable english is the reason the big G has to reinvent ways to detect all manner of spam including article spun spamming., The reason our client sites remain in place because we do not touch any of these spammy tricks - you will pay in the end one way or another. And the rest of us just move up the ranks when a new algorithum knocks out the latest spam version it picks up = like the newest private blog network the big G seems to have its spiders onto..
Do it right or don't do it. you are just taking up valuable space...

The first time that I heard of an article spinner, I was SO excited!! But then I downloaded it and tried it out, and that's when I was reminded of all that fancy packaging hiding a dud toy when I was a kid.

I find article spinners useful sometimes for helping me with my synonyms and to make the articles more creative (cloud thesaurus and stuff), but that can also be done with Wordweb Pro which is as good (useful alt + left click function, like the MS Word function) which is really nice to use.

It might also be useful when you have some articles that are not content-important that you need to make a couple of copies of, otherwise, you might just want to stay away, or use them but still put in the effort.

I've read a spun article before. I was like WT* ! I couldn't even finished the 1st paragraph.

Yes, original article is much better For those of you who have not read a spun article before, ask those who have, or just spin 1 yourself.

Good luck spinning your articles,

Reminds me of that video where an employee gets so frustrated with not being able to print from a computer that he grams the monitor, rips it from the desk, takes it to the photocopier, and puts its screen on the copy machine to print. It didn't work of course, but was hilarious!

Yeah, spunned articles are really funny at times, I use them regularly... to just make fun of it.

Original is the best choice, your investing for your business why not invest in a nice way.

Spinning is a short cut used by those who want to make money using the internet but have very little knowledge on how the internet works as a publishing platform. If what u have isn't unique, isn't even passable, how do you expect to make your online presence felt?
Long story short: Spinning is crap. Don't Do it. Quality reigns over quantity any day of the week

Spun articles are used for many purposes, some link builders use them for link building and they submit to different article directories.

Spun articles are never a great idea in my opinion. Considering Google takes grammar, spelling, and paragraph structure into consideration when delivering relevant results, spun articles don't compare to human-written content.

I've noticed that some of what's said here in terms of spinning seems to border on manually rewriting the articles. I'm not sure how effective that can be, but I'd imagine it's still much better than producing some of the virtually unreadable text that I see so often.

But in my opinion, if you go to the the trouble to carefully "spin" an article, it might be easier just to write a completely new, similar article from scratch.

Waste of time and money its such a joke. You`ll spend more time editing than originally planned.

If people are spinning articles and now even proof reading to make sure it reads well they won't have any success in this industry.

At last. I was waiting for this kind of answer. There are people who brand something as bad without actually seeing if there's something good that it can do. If you're going to COMPLETELY rely on spinning, then that's the bad thing. If you're going to use it in such a way that the spun content can still be considered as quality, then why not? Also, I wouldn't spin an article that's already posted. I'd spin something that I created prior to actually posting it just so that I can replace it with content that has better wording.

Sure, spinning is great if you need a lot of content that says the same exact thing but my question is, how is that useful today?

Surely, you wouldn't put 100 articles that all say the same thing on your blog, would you?

All the blog networks are being deindexed so no sense in putting it on one of those.

Links from article directories have little value so no sense in wasting time on that.

I guess you could use them for web2.0 properties but how many of those are you going to build? Wouldn't it be quicker to just write all new articles then to spend hours tweaking a series of spun articles?

I know from experience that spinning an article that actually comes out good can take 4 or 5 hours - sometimes all day and there are very little ways to use those articles now so I'm wondering how do you benefit from a bunch of articles that all say the same thing?
