Syndicated, Unique Content - How To Do It?

by ReviewSites

Hello,

for the relaunch of my main site, I plan on moving content to subdomains and making the main site into some sort of news website, with a forum, a community and so on. To get some fresh content I was thinking about automatically posting news articles from other sites (with a link back to the original of course) and automatically spinning the content with something like WordAI.

Is it possible to lightly do so without damaging the content, and still get unique articles? Is it even legal? Classical content curation doesn't sound like you get a lot indexed, or traffic...

    It is totally illegal to scrape content from other websites, even for spinning it and even if you backlink to the original. That is called copyright infringement.

    If you absolutely want to post spinned content to your website, which I do not recommend and personally would never do because we have yet to find a spinner that creates a decent gathering of words that could be called an article, without insulting the intelligence of the reader, in such case use PLR articles. They're sold at a dime for a dozen everywhere online.

    Cheers!

    If the goal is to actually build anything then the focus has to be on quality. You'd be surprised at how many articles are on the net that are saying the same thing in the same way. A single unique piece of content can work wonders for you versus trying to spin something.

    If you're just reposting the same 'syndicated' article on your site then I don't think it's a good strategy (and as netman noted probably illegal). If you link to other content on the web you should include an editorial viewpoint of sorts to make the content your own, so to speak.

      One has to make sure to understand that "spinned content" and "scraped content" are not the same thing, however scraped content could also be spinned of course.

      Scraping content is STEALING on others' intellectual property and WILL harm much more than your blog / website, it could ruin your business and your entire life. Be aware!

    I even include the location of the best segment, so the video player can show it as the thumbnail.
    And the geo-location for proximity searches.
