To use Article Spinning Software....or Not?

You get a lot of people saying the whole duplicate content is a myth, but a article spinner i use is, automatic article submitter v2. You are able to spin and mass submit.

I would have to agree with kenj, and ask why?

Consider this:

Write a high quality article.

CONCENTRATE when you spin it to ensure the syntax will remain excellent

Then you get quality and quantity from the one original article idea.

Spinning is especially worthwhile if the article is a quality one to begin with. The key is to take care when spinning and check the results. I think this is why spinning gets a bad rap, because people do not take enough care while they do it. It is not really a lazy way of article writing but it is a way of getting maximum use from the hard work you do when creating a gem article.

Hi Mike,
Not sure if your comment was directed to me but yes I do have a tool which is human controlled and not some pre-set database garbage.. Yes you can spend 2 hours and write an article and have 50 spun versions with 70%+ in uniqueness using the proper tool.

Many still do not understand that actual use of a spinner. Some think it has to do with just creating articles to submit to article directories. There are far more many uses for articles besides submitting them to directories.

I use my system everyday and will continue to do so because I can do everything right in one spot. Many still fail to see the many uses articles have.

Those that say they have no idea what 100 articles on the same subject is used for, you really need to read this post and keep in mind the below is only a small example of what spun articles can be used for.

I can take 1 article and spin it 20 times and then do the following:

Use 1 to submit to article directories
Use 1 to create a short report to build opt-in list
Use 1 to create a video articles to post on How-To video sites
Use 2 to create a squidoo lens
Use 2 to create a hubpage
Use 3 (the summaries) and post to 20 related blogs
Use 2 to post to my blog
Use 5 to post to the top 5 social networks that have a blog function
Use 3 to post to news release sites

Image what I could do with 100 or 150 .. You see I am provided 100% unique content for videos, squidoo, hubpages and ect .. Not all content is the same as it is spun "PROPERLY" ...

Now with that said smart marketers also spin articles for these following reasons.

1. More publishers will pickup your articles and post them on their blog because they do like fresh content and not the same article that is posted on a million other blogs.

2. Spinning the article will give you a better chance at targeting other keywords that you may left out of the original.

3. Having different versions of the article posted on article directories, blogs, and etc looks more professional if you are trying to come accross as an expert in your niche. Posting the same article over and over and over just looks like blatant spam.

4. Spun articles give you a great chance to create mini blog post, pdf docs, short reports for list building, and etc.. The uses are almost unlimited.

5. We have no idea what the future holds and if you are posting to 50 article directories and have 50 different versions of your article then you are already prepared for what changes site owners or search engines may make a few years down the road. In other words it's best to be safe than sorry, if 25 of those article directories decide they no longer what dup content then guess what all your hard work goes out the window.. Unless of course you was working smart and submitted spun articles.

I used spinning to jump my positions in the search engines and get aprox 30% more traffic. This was around a year ago after hitting a bit of a glass ceiling in rank doing just directory submissions and article marketing myself.

I can confirm that in my experience I have found multiple copies of the same article re-spun on different blogs / websites through google - all indexed and all giving me backlinks.

James, or Rich Jerk,

Thank you for your very enlightening, informative reply. That information is gold. I hope many people will read your post.

Now what about the system that you use? Can you tell us more, how we can use it, costs etc.

Can you suggest a good software to use?

Thanks again James, Really appreciated.

Mike

I have to agree. I have used James' directory for several months. Besides all the tools he provides for spinning and syndication, his directory also easily beats out some of those other free directories. and with no ads on the page, I get alot more traffic with a lot less effort.

As a writer I would never use an article spinning program. I write everything entirely from scratch and at the speed I type at, it's quicker for me to write them fresh, rather than spin them anyway.

I'm using spun articles for a long long time now and the multiple double listings at #1 AND #2 I have on Google for competitive keywords encourage me to continue to do so.

The problem is that the majority of people spin to the word level by using synonyms - and this gives very bad results.

Actually the further you go from the individual words for your spinning the more powerful it is.

Look:

If you spin by words, the overall structure of the article is exactly the same, same sentences except synonyms. As a programmer I know that this kind of spun articles are very easy to detect and Google finds them very quickly and I wouldn't be surprised if they discounted them. Plus the quality is often very low because some synonyms are not appropriate.

If you spin by sentences, the structure of the article is still the same but the length of the sentences are very different, and we're not using synonyms that are so easy to detect, instead we reformulate the meaning of the sentence and the grammatical structure of the sentence itself is different. Spinning by sentence is > spinning words. Plus the quality is much better and the spun articles read well.

If you spin by paragraphs, the structure of the article becomes different - it's becoming very difficult for a programmer to find that both variations of a same paragraph are similar. The number of sentences is different, the organisation of the sentences is different.

If you spin by articles, you have the best uniqueness level and this is exactly like writing different articles. You see this is why I said the further you go from the individual words the more unique it is.

Like James said you need a human to spin articles the right way, softwares can't do it.

Let me give you an example: 4 variations of one paragraph coming from one of my Ultra Spinnable Articles:

Variation 1:

Variation 2:

Variation 3:

Variation 4:

Do you find that the quality is low?
And you know what? This one single Ultra Spinnable article can generate 116,415,321,826,934,814,453,125 unique variations. And my members and myself have a new one each day of the month, week ends included!

It means that we can build so many backlinks from unique content that someone who would write unique articles for this purpose would never be able to beat us.

But you should never use automated softwares, do it by hand or use a service that can do this for you.

Kind regards

Hey Vita, just wondering what tools do you use for spinning content like you described? Right now I'm really digging Jonathan Ledgers spinning tool, but I'm always interested in what else is out there...

Article spinners in general produce really crappy articles. Junk. I bought one spinner and paid nearly $300 for it. I used it once. The amount of time it took to make the spun article readable was the same time it would take to write a decent article from scratch.

From many test, the best spinning software is CONTENT BOSS. Next you have "the best spinner" link in my signature. Content boss does it automatically and the best spinner requires some work. goodluck!

I know this is an old thread but still relevant.Firstly, the tool that one uses for spinning is much less important than the ability of the user to write decent content. If you can not write good, readable content then no amount of spinning will help you.

I run a content driven site and spun content is an ongoing nightmare. We delete a large number of submissions because theyare submitted by users unable to use their tools correctly. This varies from people who leave in spintax delimiters (|{~ etc. to people who have only a passing command of English to those who are using what is obviously decent seed content but are using automation to generate volumes of very low quality material.

I have been publishing other people's content now for about five years and I see that the baseline quality of content submissions has fallen through the floor and in large part this is due to spinning.

I'd be willing to lay odds that somebody who is unable to produce decent quality spun content will get better results by submitting just one or two variations that are accepted for syndication on decent sites than by submitting dozens or hundreds of poor quality rubbish article.

So, my take is this: like John McCabe above, if you want to use a spinner then go ahead, but make sure that I can't tell, because if I can tell then so can other stakeholders and what is the point of having rubbish that nobody wants to read? On my article site I am slowly downplaying the input of user generated content due to quality issues. I know of other sites looking at the same options. We are not talking of tiny no traffic sites here but well trafficked, well read sites. For example, my site has an average visit that takes in about 7 pages, a bounce rate of between 20-30% and thousands of unique visitors daily. We want to see quality content and we give a quality audience but poor quality spinning is ruining the opportunity. It is easier to use our own sourced content than to mess around with rubbish submissions!.

By the way I use two spinning/rewriting tools.

1) Rewrite Rocket from Jason Potash. This is the only tool I have come across that makes a decent fist of autorewriting articles so I often use it as a starting point when I am looking to uniqueify an article for re-use. I also like the way it works for spinning - it is simple and easy to make content where the information load is different from one article to the next.

2) The Best Spinner from Jon Leger. The autorewrite is rubbish, sadly the synonym pool is too often corrupted by bad usage from other users and in any case, simple automated synonym replacement just gives nasty results.

However I find that I can do manual spins of output from Rewrite Rocket very nicely and I like the blog poster, export into different spin formats and easy removal of spins from content.I can't imagine using only one or the other tool exclusively, they complement each other too well.

Personally I don't use article spinners because they can leave your content unreadable. The best way to spin your content is do it yourself. Like seoxcell says it is spammy and I would stear clear of any spinning software.

I doubt the internet will run out of space, however you DO seem to have been quite busy spreading yourself about.
