    PPS, let me know if it is easy to understand/self-explanatory, or if you feel it needs any videos or any other tutorials. Thanks!

      Errr, I spun a weight loss article, and it showed me 4 different articles, I can hardly see the difference.

        Thanks for your feedback. Ok, I just took a look, perhaps I should have a small tutorial included.

        To `spin` a phrase, you simply put the words in brackets, separated by parantheses, like this:

        `[Hi|How are you|What is new?|Whats up?]`

        The software will then \'make\' different sentences randomly selecting from the items in parantheses. Do you understand what I mean?



        Thanks!

    Looks like a normal standard spinner that uses all that [|] junk with a pre-set database of words.. Many of these already exist... If you are wanting to build a spinner you will need to do a great deal better and allow full human control.

    Not tying to be rude but you did ask and since I have coded a human controlled one from scratch I am giving you my opinion...

      Sure, I appreciate that. And yes, this is just `rudimentary`. I am already working on some technology to make it so the software actually `writes` articles itself (you just pick a topic). But until I get there -- what immediate improvements would you like to see? I.e., any specific suggestions from regular spinners you`ve used that would make it better?

        In order to code a proper spinner you must fully understand spun articles.. As for articles writing themselves, it will never happen... A Human will always need to be involved.

        Personally I would not waste my time on creating yet another spinner... I would spend my time on working on a solution to people's problems that they have and a solution does not exist...

          Hi James:

          1. Ok, could you please enlighten me to fully understand spun articles? I know that apparently a lot of people use the `generic` ones in order to create adsense sites with what sometimes appears to be gibberish (although if they take the time to correctly insert synonyms, etc then it looks halfway decent).

          2. As for articles that write themselves, actually, it can be done, and I`ve done it. I`m just working on making it support a larger base of topics at the moment. I wanted this application up for the time being.

            1. This is not something I am going to teach you, this is something you will need to research and learn on your own. Many will disagree with me but sorry those curly braces with brackets and using a pre-set database that insert synonyms is not the proper way to spin articles.

            Course I know many that will agree with me also that a human controlled spinner without all that crap will outbeat those spinners that do use that crap...

            2. No articles can not write themselves, I am sorry I have been here way too many years and have coded some of the most complex systems online. AI is not smart enough and never will be, human intervention will always be needed... Nothing is going to replace a writer/author.

    Butters: Ah, ok, I`ll stick in a tutorial. Thought everyone knew how to use them Basically it takes a regular phrase, i.e., `I am going to the store`, and then if you have a `replacement` sentence, will spin it with variations. I.e., `I am going to the [store|gas station|supermarket]` could turn into:

    I am going to the store
    I am going to the gas station
    I am going to the supermarket


    James: What do you mean by more `human` control?

    Agree with the above. If anyone ever comes up with an article spinner that actually spits out readable content, then it would be one amazing feat. Probably a very expensive one too.

      Depends on what you put into it.

      Human control is imperative. Never use preset synonyms applied automatically.

      If you are not getting readable content, well, let's just say garbage in and garbage out.

      You CAN produce readable content, you just need to put some effort into the input.

      Sadly, most who use spinners expect to load an article, press a button to add synonyms and have it come out legible.

      Done correctly, a "spin ready" article can produce a ton of readable content.

      A good tradesman never blames his tools, instead he learns how to use them properly.

        Hi,

        Thanks -- actually I expect to release my version #2 probably in a couple weeks. And I`ve gotten some good feedback here, so will be aiming for the `press a button` and magically an article is created idea.

        Thanks!

            Dear Affiliate,

            Can I ask you something. You made an ecover program that is pretty cool at least I like it. I never bought it but I am one who tested it out.

            That is unique in it's concept.

            With all the crap online that does the same thing why not scrap it and do something worth while.

            Right now I have my programmer...well on holidays at the moment but he is writing me the most advanced program in it's category . that will be unique.

            Why not stick to what you know but make something unique like well I am not gonna give you any ideas but you know what i am saying this will do nothing to your credibility except maybe hurt it because there will always be problems with this sort of product it isn't worth it in MO I would think someone of your talents could do something much more worthwhile.

            Just my own 02 cents

              Hi WD,

              Thanks for your comments. And I appreciate you testing it out

              Well, actually my plan is this. I am developing a bunch of cool stuff, and I would like people to use it. When they use it, they might realize there are other things they`d like included, so I am hoping they will contact me and say `Wow, this is cool! Can you add this, this and this?`

              That`s basically my plan. But, I like the fact you think the cover software is cool Any suggestions to make it better?

              Thanks!

    I agree, it's a standard spinner at this point. Nothing really new or revolutionary here. More work to do on the programming side.
