spun articles

I don't see why not.

The only problem is it might make you site look silly to human readers, so perhaps this is only a good strategy for MFA (made for adsense) sites where your aim is to get the user to click an adsense link rather than read. You can achieve that by placing the adsense near the top-left or top-central location and have it take up most of the 'above the fold' space.

If you do the job properly, nobody will detect that you've 'spun' your content, let alone
Google. I have several websites with spun content, and they rank and convert just as
well as any other site I own.

Jim Kelly was a great quarterback.

But I agree, I use tons of spun articles and have good success. Shouldn't make a difference.

OK, well then I guess I will weigh in as a vote for spun articles.

And, I'll go one further and say that for what you are doing you might want to look at the data merge feature of The Best Spinner where you could further "uniqify" your articles.

Depending on the plan for your site, I'm thinking you could also have pages like:

lewes-ranch-homes-for-sale
lewes-trilevel-homes-for-sale

And use the data merge to add in different stuff about those types of homes. If those are even keywords that you would use?

I agree with Jeremy on this one.

One thing people forget, or are just too lazy to think about is that EVERYTHING that you do on your site is about providing your customers with a good experience. Look at it from what they will see.

You can build your reputation by providing them with a huge resource of information, or destroy your reputation by filling it with the exact same information, showing that you don't know enough to help them.

SEO is important but you can write for your readers, and provide them with valuable information without repeating yourself, yet still optimize for search and get the rankings.

If you don't know enough about your niche to write more than a few articles, then you need to do some research or hire someone to write it for you. ( both would be preferable, if you want to go for some social interaction, which is a factor that will determine your seo rankings, possibly more so than the number of backlinks, in the near future).

I have one affiliate site with over 100 articles, targeting several very similar keywords and every single page is totally unique information to any other page on the site. I see other people in the same niche doing what is suggested above (filling their site with spun content) and although they make some sales, they dont have nearly the following that you can have by building up authority with unique content.

Now, that being said, spin the content with a real spinner. always make sure that it reads naturally (never just spin and post without reading it all the way through), and syndicate your content to target a variety of related keywords. If you spin and still use high quality spins, you will get more traffic through the content than you do through search anyway. and it is easier to create hundreds of articles without starting from scratch for every single one. Spinning is great for syndication but never for your own site. Although you can make it work, you will not brand yourself as an authority. you will fight and struggle for one time sales instead of building credibility and a relationship with people.

To end this monolog I will leave you with a quote from my biggest mentor in business and in life, My grandfather.

He said "We make profit off of the people who come in and buy something. We make a living off of those who come back repeatedly, and refer others to our business."

Also remember, every person who sees your site is customer, whether they buy from you or not. They may not buy today, but they could spend a fortune on you tomorrow, or next month. Treat them as if they are the reason that you are in business. When it comes down to it, they are.
