Can You "Spin" Content and STILL Outrank Originators in Google?

Hello,

I've been researching a lot about the best practices involved in blog post attribution; citing author, source, linking back to the original content, and adding something of unique value to the piece.

It all sounds pretty straightforward; don't just steal other people's stuff.

Taking this route as described above will enable me to create a lot more content a lot faster to an audience that is starved for new content. However, I am concerned how Google will look at this in determining how my site ranks? I'm concerned that Google will say "YOU'RE RE-PACKING CONTENT AND WE'RE PLACING YOU ON PAGE 99,000,000!"

Have you guys had any experience ETHICALLY spinning content while attributing the original source (and adding unique value) while struggling to rank in Google?

Or, should I not be so concerned about this?

Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

    I think recycling a content is a good thing if of-course if you have something more to offer to the audience than the original one.

    You could outrank competition with their content and without spinning. I'm not saying you should, I'm saying it's possible. It happens everyday.

    Google will show the version that's best SEO'd in SEREPs.

    As simple as that.

    Do better SEO, and you'll outrank 'em.
