Why Do Article Syndication Networks Require To Have Article Spun To Submit To Their Network?

Is there any advantage at all to submitting a spun version of your article to their network, will this actually help getting my article syndicated because they are getting a different version of the article

    The more you spin your article, the worse off it will read and people will be less likely to syndicate your article. They want quality content for their sites.

    Have a think about what an "article syndication network" is.

    The value of syndication is that you get your articles re-published on relevant, respected sites with established, targeted traffic. That isn't what those "networks" are about, at all, is it?!

    These are mostly (not all) just people selling backlinking services, and choosing to dress themselves up under that name.

    That isn't meaningful "syndication" and it has absolutely nothing at all to do with what "article marketers" who use the "syndication model" are doing.

    It's part of the "spinning"/"mass submission" industry. The "SEO approach to article marketing".

    Take a look around you, at some of the hundred or so threads with titles like "Article Marketing Is Dead" and "Article Marketing Doesn't Work" and "Why Isn't Article Marketing Working For Me?". What virtually all those threads have in common is that they've been started off by people using spinning, mass submission software, "article syndication networks", and/or services providing those things. For those people, article marketing is "dead" and it doesn't "work any more", and so on. What they've misunderstood, of course, is that what they were doing wasn't actually "article marketing" in the first place - it was only one very small part of it. A kind of "SEO approach to article marketing". (Yes, I know it sounds a bit silly, but that's what some people do, and they imagine that's what article marketing "is" ).

    The fact that the "version" is different is of no consequence at all. The value of a backlink isn't somehow, magically, changed by being attached to "spun" content instead of just to a syndicated article.

    You really, really don't need to know more about "spinning" than the information in this thread.

      Alexa...

      Market samurai has some training videos which discusses article syndication and how to do this correctly ....I guess their motive is to sell their up and new coming software called article samurai .hummmmmmmm

      It seems that you are awakening me ( a very young 56 yr old lol ) to some cold truthful facts and learning a thing or two about how we are being taken big time by the people who are selling the tools and making a fortune from those digging for gold online wow...this sucks but this is life.

      Before the internet alexa, everything was offline in form or good old fashion mail order, and the thing back then was mail order and those big full page ads that sold the dream and the tools in major business opportunity magazines, the same crap is happening here....it is a cyber space vietnam jungle set up with booby traps along the way for people to fall through and have their hard earned money taken from them

      Have much to learn in this area yet but coming around and learning what to stay away from

    A spun version means it's not duplicate content.

    The owner of a content network will want to maintain the value of their network and if it gets constantly hit with duplicate content it may suffer a penalty from Google which will affect the rankings and value of the network.

    If you have a spun article then you will find more people will accept your article for syndication because they want unique content for their site.

    All the best

      An un-spun version also isn't duplicate content.

      It's syndicated content.

      It depends what you mean by "people". If we're talking about quality, relevant sites to which it's worth syndicating one's work (i.e. the underlying basis of article marketing), this isn't a factor, or even a relevant issue, at all.

      Possibly it is, regarding the so-called "syndication networks" mentioned above. But as we've already seen, they're actually just backlink-sellers calling themselves "syndication networks". If they're selling spinning services (as some are), then guess what: they're going to want "spun content". :rolleyes:

    No.

    Article spinning is old-school and much less effective than it used to be.

    Don't waste your time.

    It is because Google likes unique content. Spinning the article
    makes sure that it is unique.

    It will also get more of your articles indexed, giving you more
    links back to your main website.

    I have to admit this is an extremely interesting discussion, partially because I use both spinning and syndication (but I don't use spinning software). To me, it is better to do it the old fashioned way. I like adding my own tags because this way I know the article will read better and I can have fun with it.

    For me, using both methods have proven to be an effective strategy, in my experience I have found that both methods can work but when you start using software to generate spun versions of your articles, it loses something. It loses the heart of the article.

    This in my personal opinion, makes the spinning worthless. Whether it (spinning) is a requirement or not will probably depend on the source. Great discussion though, truly valuable points from both sides. Thank you guys!

      I think that's the point.

      You won't get penalised for spinning - it's just completely unnecessary most of the time. It doesn't make your links more powerful or help with indexing - that's just BS.

      The thing I DO like about spinning is when I spin the links in my own articles when I republish them on my own network of sites.

      You're right about the content -as soon as you start using automated spinners they don't read as well. That may not be a problem if they suck but if it's good content you don't want to trash it on the false assumption that it will somehow help you.

      This subject is a lot like the old Adsense days where you could use a page builder with an Adsense plugn and create a million page website full of keywords in 2 minutes and make good money from Adsense. In theory you could still do it - in reality your site will get slammed before you make your first dollar and your Adsense account would be closed.

      Somehow people love to hang on to the "it sounds logical therefore it must work" mindset and don't test things for themselves so they think that 5 year old article marketing advice still applies.

      I have a thought in a different area.

      I think it might partially be to keep people from overloading the system with copying and pasting articles into the network by the dozens or hundreds at a time

      The more difficult the interface is to use, and the more requirements there are to be able to use it, the less people will use it because it is so time consuming.

      That is just my opinion, I do not know this for a fact, I just think it might be an interesting idea to think about.

      Same kind of idea with networks that make you do the spinning within their system but propose that this is a benefit. That really lengthens the amount of time it takes to post an article. Especially if the spintax involves characters other than the relatively universality of Jet Spinner symtax.
