I am trying to figure out...

Which one has more ranking power?

A. 100 articles spun off to 90% uniqueness from one single seed article

or

B. 100 articles each of them unique from each other?

Assumptions:

1. Target on the same medium competitive keyword (says, with monthly EXACT search volume between 1000 to 10,000).

2. Each article at least 150 words long (basically this is what is required for BMR)

3. Each of the article to be published to different blogs (each with different domains and IP address) in the same blog network.

Can anyone share your opinion experience or even better experimental results (if any)?

Thank you..

    Definitely B is going to win the game. SEO is getting harder and unique content always get first preference when we compare with spun content. I have tested it myself.

    I have read from one of the posts in this forum that after panda update, content uniqueness has been a crucial part of a site.

    Unique contents definitely. But those kinds of contents are very prone to be spun and use by other people.

      sure unique is best but something you have to see is, how long does it take to wirte 100 unique articles compared to one very good spun article? if you outsoruce what is more expensive? 100 unique articles or 1 very good spun article? it's obv that spinning is a lot cheaper and imo that def something you have to consider as well

    If an article is spun to 90% uniqueness, then it basically is an original article at that point, so I think the argument between the two is kind of pointless.

    However, I would love to see an article that is spun to 90% uniqueness and still readable.

    I think Google can identify bad grammar. That is often an easy way to identify spun content. If content reads well... then it could do ok in the search engines. Google just doesn't want to peddle cap to it's searchers.
