Case Study: Article Spinning and What Google Can Actually Detect

This is my response to the thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...ml#post3757985

I felt it merited it's own because it is a case study of sorts, as you will see.

---

I am conducting a massive test as we speak on this very subject.

I have two article directories on my blog. One is a static directory and the other one is a spinner directory. I will not post links to them, because I don't want to get in trouble here.

I have a particular seed of moderate quality planted in my spinner directory that shows a unique spin every time the browser is refreshed along with the HTML.

I carefully checked the spinner for about 30 minutes and weeded out most of the wording that would make the snapshot seem or read funny (for the most part).

I then copied syndicated that same article from my spinner directory about 20 times and published all of them in the other article directory all on my own site (the same site and they are all lined up like ducks in a row - it is SO obvious).

Google spidered all of them and indexed 14 out of 20 on my own site, all sitting next to each other listed out in a row sitting right next to each other, SCREAMING SPUN CONTENT! and they are all still indexed and not going anywhere. That is a 70% indexing rate, which is comparable and better than many article directories. The only reason I stopped is because I just got tired of publishing.

If I want, I can log back on to the spinner and mod it a little more and crank the presses back up with no end in site.

Honestly, I can't see any difference between Google's behavior with respect to spun content as opposed to regular, hand written content.

For me, anybody who tells me now that spinning doesn't work if full of bologna. You get from it what you put into it and there is a right and a wrong way.

If I spend a little more time on this seed, and you find a copy of it somewhere on the web, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO TELL IT IS SPUN EITHER, MUCH LESS GOOGLE.

Bottom Line: If you spin it well enough, you can easily pull the curtain on anyone's eye, yours, Google's or any other person.

To reiterate: This particular article was a 30 minute job that produced 20 unique articles two thirds of which were indexed on my site alone all sitting next to each other.

Spinning does have one important use that I can see. If I write 20 articles on a subject, quality will taper, probably starting with number 5 or so. I will start leaving out details and start wearing down.

A quality spinner from which all of the grammatical errors will have been removed, will maintain article quality from the first version to the last.

I removed my sig from this post because I don't want to be accused of advertising.

Say what you want as a response, I have hard data to back up my claims now...

Gotta leave for now, will respond later today.
