Why are people still allowed to discuss article spinning on this forum?

107 replies
I am not pointing fingers & neither am I asking the mods to alter the rules but honestly article spinning adds no value to the end user. Search engines hate it(It is almost considered as a spam tactic by many engines) & there is nothing worse than a software producing several variations of the same article using different words.

The verdict on article spinning is very clear therefore I still don't get why certain people still fancy it and have discussions about it on the forum?

What do you guys think?

    Because spinning can be used legitimately and in a way will not litter the Internet with illegible trash. Unfortunately, most don't seem to use it that way but that doesn't make the original concept any less valuable.

      But wasn't the whole point of article spinning to get enough backlinks/traffic back to your website by playing the numbers game? Or am I missing something here?

          That's false.. Do you really think Google bots read and comprehend the writing you have on your 50 web 2.0s?

          Article spinning is discussed here because it happens to be a big part of the IM world. Regardless of your opinion on it, plenty of people still use spun articles and therefore it is worth discussing.

          It is, yes. But if an article is still readable and informative, it isn't litter. It's not like people are going to often stumble over five different versions of your article at five different sites and get bored. The Internet is far to big for that.

          When it's done correctly, the bots can't tell the difference. There are still ways to use correctly spun content and benefit.

        The definition of 'spinning' is a whole discussion in itself.

        Whether any form of spinning is beneficial, harmful or simply spinning your wheels is another whole heated discussion.

        Whether spinning is ethical or can be done in an ethical way or not is another few threads worth of argument.

        There are many assumptions made and preconceived ideas when a provocative word like 'spinning' is used.

        Some think 'spinning' means 10,000 crappy backlinks a minute SEOBombed to thousands of crappy dummy W2.0 sites pointing to some idiotic 'money page'.

        Other use the word 'spinning' when they mean making PLR content unique in order to use it as intended.

        I don't think throwing around generalities is really a discussion but that is what a lot of threads turn into. I don't spin stuff but I try not to argue with people who do.

      Quoted for truth.

      The people often confuse the spinning software with synonymizers. The one can use Spintax to produce almost a countless number of the top quality articles (nothing in common with a content theft and poorly synonymized articles). So why this very powerful IM technology must be banned from warriorforum?

      Well because spinning is considered as black hat to a certain degree...I could be wrong. Pretty similar to a time when getting profile links from forums was a popular topic of discussion until the time google hammered all the sites which used such links. Then it became unethical somehow & everyone regretted using it.

          Well I'd like someone to prove that it's not? It's content written by robots for the search robots. It's plain and simple blackhat unless you add the human element to it & actually edit the spun articles in a way which is readable by the end user.

          It was a system primarily designed to get backlinks to one's site by submitting hundreds of articles across the web. That is blackhat in the eyes of major search engines.

            Its true that the fully automated stuff is garbage. But it would be hard to describe a literate human using the best spinner as an expanded thesaurus to come up with 85% unique variants of their own original work and then post that in varying places as black hat IMO. Doing it that way is actually content that Google would WANT, I would think, especially if placed in topically relevant links.

            So perhaps your condemnation should be limited to the (spammy) use of the tool rather than the tool itself.

              I don't think the OP has a full understanding of rewriting (spinning) - I've done it for various reasons but I use my own skills, not a script or tool. I'm also rewriting MY work - not stealing content from others, mixing it up and pretending it's my own.

              It's fine to say "I don't think it's good so I don't do it" - it's not right to say "I don't like it so others shouldn't talk about it or do it."

                This is almost always the case when the "spinning" vs "OMG spinning is evil!!" threads. Folks don't realize there are many different methods, many different sources, many different levels, etc.

                To simply say "all spinning is bad" clearly indicates a lack of understanding of the subject. I think much of it also stems from someone whose cousin's sister's friend's aunt told him it's bad so he then parrots that info on threads in the forum without firsthand knowledge.

                That does not make the good thing bad.

                For example: Uhaul trucks are good. Fill them with fertilizer and diesel fuel, then they can be used for bad purposes.

      Since it started having moderators.

      The thing is most people are not dedicated to providing the highest quality they can. Spinning articles ALWAYS reduces quality.

      Now, I'm not really a fan of SEO so maybe it's easy for me to say. But spinning is a sign of a mediocre attitude and a shaky business model to me.

            Competition depends on your business model.

            No doubt about it, article spinning "works". My business model involves ranking multiple micro niche sites and iv'e split tested this several times. Beyond a doubt the sites that I use properly spun content for backlinks ALWAYS perform better than my sites that rely on syndication or most other backlinking methods. There are also so many other members here, including many in this thread, that experience the same thing. I have so much respect for a lot of the senior members here, but it really is sad to see all the misinformation being spread like everyone else is just crazy.

            I don't know what data you guys are using to make these "opinions" that article spinning is {bad|dead}, but just go right ahead. Less competition for me

    Whether you like it or not spinning just plain works.

    If you find an article you like and want to spin it and add to it and add it to your site, it works. If you want to spin total garbage for the sole purpose of backlink spam, it works.

      Technically, anything you do to try to further your SE rankings is blackhat. All that means is Google doesn't like you doing that. That doesn't make it wrong, bad or unethical.

      Profile links are a different kettle of fish. That was mainly a source of contention because people used software to blast thousands of these across the web, often hitting each forum with a ton of links. This behavior at best was annoying to those forum owners and at worst, a blatant waste of someone else's resources.

      I do hope that I'm reading that wrong, but the first part of this sentence sounds like you are advocating simply stealing any article you find on the web to spin. That WOULD be unethical and in fact, as a derivative work, could be deemed illegal if the owner chose to pursue legal action.

        Alright...Maybe it's not unethical but are you sure it's not bad? As an end user I won't want to read a spun article when I am researching information on the web. It just leads to poor user experience from end to end.

            So would it be fair to assume that in order to do such you have to manually edit them afterwards? In short, you have to give it the human touch in order to make it less robotic and more readable?

              Well, yeah. In some cases. I know that the spinning I do requires no manual intervention after the fact. That said, I put a TON of work into my content to make it very spin friendly so I don't have to do any work later.

              Your complaints are legit if you qualify them with 'crappy' spun content but the act of spinning doesn't necessarily create poor content provided it is done right.

                Spot on! Make sure you spin as user-friendly as possible so the output readable and provides actual value (also makes me sleep better at night knowing I don't spam the web with gibberish)... but in the end, it's still the writer's choice...

      I must say it's fascinating to have a discussion on spinning, for me this is the first time I've seen this subject brought up and I'm so happy we can discuss such out of the box and unique thinking.

      I'm not going to get into a spinning debate because I do believe there are good and bad ways to use it and I also firmly believe, as others have said, that it's the human using the software that's the guilty party.

      The problem with all these spinning discussions is most people look at the method and can only come up with one way to use it, then they ignore anyone that has an alternative method....which kind of defeats the object of discussing it (and I've been guilty of that myself )

      Anyway, I'm off to the OT section to see if there are any threads on bomb making.

      EDIT. Joe, I've no idea what you're doing in your avatar picture but it makes you look like you have a moustache, which in turn makes me think you look like Freddie Mercury. Sorry about that.

        I personally won't use the spinning software any more because I can re-write something quicker, but I can see that used the right way, spinners have usefulness. Unfortunately there are always those people who ruin good things for everyone else, and thus give spinners, and any other time-saving software, a bad name.

      That's the conclusion I came to long ago. If I can't tell, I don't care.

      As for spinning software, I liken it to a carving knife. In the hands of an artist, you get art. In the hands of a craftsman, you get beautiful furniture. In the hands of the average guy, you get a pile of shavings. And in the hand of the average six year old, you get a trip to the emergency room followed by a need for new furniture...

  • Article spinning, as I use it, is really precious. But I lose time doing it on my own, I don't use automatic software. I use the famous software everyone using here on WF and I need at least 40 minutes for article.

    Should we talk about article rewording then? spinning is not bad as long as you do it wisely. I you have 100 versions of your article, you have 100 chances to someone take a look at your content.

    Is far more better than submit duplicate contet.

    You are not spamming, you are "spreading your word to multiple sources" to reach a larger number of audience (let everyone knows that I wrote that awesome content!).

    Now if you are talking about "software spun articles" the kind that only non native english speaking can understand (yes like me... but I'm really trying! I'm really do... *sight*). Yes this crappy articles have no value and should be penalized by big G.

    But if you dilligently change your articles rewording phrases instead of single words then you will have a completly different article with the same topic, and serving the same purpose: add value to the end user and of course adding a contextual backlink to your main site.

    Censoring topics would be dangerous. If you censor article spinning, you would have to censor link creation. Then, ghost wrting might follow.

    Each of us has a filter--our brain. We need to decide for ourselves what we are going to do. If we choose to go Black Hat or Gray Hat...so be it, there are risks involved. If we choose to go White Hat, we will have to work a bit harder to achieve the same results.

        It's the shaded area at the top of the turkey leg. I swear I didn't recognise you and really did think at first you'd used him as your avatar . It's only when I looked closely I realised it was you, knawing on a babys leg or something.

          If you do want to spin an article, make sure it's a good one; something of good quality and compelling to the reader. Longer ones perform better (like 400+ words...the longer the better - this is more time dependant but some people even go as high as 2500-4000 words).

          Obviously the usual good (panda/penguin safe) SEO needs to be done too (no keyword stuffing etc).

          If using software, use it as a *tool* rather than just let it spin the whole article. Example; spin by sentence, then proof read afterwards.

          Bottom line - remember you are writing content for humans, not bots etc (this ultimately is what Google is after)

            I wasn't going to chime in, but then I saw the picture of Freddie Mercury, and I was compelled...

            When I hear the word 'spin, as it relates to marketing, (there's an exercise called spinning too) ' I think of 'spin doctors,' those fabulous publicity people that can 'spin' any story any way they want to through a very clever use of smoke and mirrors.

            To put another way, that means presenting the 'story' in a manner that is suited to the publishers goal, ie, make something look good, make something else look bad.

            "There's no such thing as bad publicity."

    I personally don't like using spun articles. You can usually tell they are spun because they will replace certain words with other words that mean basically the same thing, but you wouldn't actually use that word if you were actually writing the article. If I really really need to, I might use a spun article, but most of the time I just like writing my own quality content that is real and from my own brain.

    Honest any one that thinks they are going to generate genuine leads though poorly spun articles is very optimistic. Now spun articles could easily be used to get your back links indexed, if any one thinks using spun articles on spammy web sites that link back to your money site is a good idea, you will have a nasty wake up call soon. Better off have quality content on money site, being linked from 2.0 web sites (not the same article but something related) ie link bait and then using spun versions of the 2.0 article to pass on link juice to the 2.0 site.

    People here confuses spinning with stealing ("scraping") articles and then auto-spin them. I wouldn't do that, but i would use a AI autospinner such as WordAi, in order to produce pretty much unique and readable product descriptions.

    Actually writing quality articles is the same as spinning just on another level. Spining is everything.

    Every wonderful something in the world could be used in ways that are not for the benefit of others.

    Just because wonderful things can be used in a bad way does not mean those good things should be treated as bad things.

    For example: Ryder trucks are a very useful tool. But, when you fill them with fertilizer and diesel fuel, then wacko white guys can use them for insanely diabolical things.


    p.s. Not only are we allowed to discuss spinning... Some of us are even allowed to do it. :p

    You people are KILLING my productivity, but I had to get involved

    IMHO spinning can be valid if:

    1. The base content is very well written.
    2. The unique articles that are spun are legitimate, are easy to read on the eye, and will end up benefiting the reader in whichever site it is put into.

    The internet is all about content at the end of the day. And if an article provides valid, perfectly readable and accurately written content on whatever topic then what's the problem? And what does it matter how it got there?

    Incredible how IM has evolved though - many years ago, you used to get rewarded for putting the SAME article on as many different article directories as possible. Now, you could get penalized for taking the trouble to create several unique articles and adding a unique one into various different sites.

    In all this google slap, panda bans, penguin reach arounds lol.... I am still in shock people think spinning articles are ok. They either have no brain cells or cannot read a few lines in google news. Simple really.

    Do not spin, if you are lazy like most, go get on the unemployment line and drink yourself stupid.

    If you want to be well known, or do well in this game, create high quality info that people want to read, that can help or enrich their lives.

    Google is now done with children who come up with jibberish writter by 4 year olds. And to be honest, I am sick of it laying around in the trenches taking up valuable internet real estate.

    RANT OVER *bows*

      LOL. I own 4 sites that consist of nothing but spun content and they've survived it all.

      I agree with the poster who mentioned it earlier - spinning is different than "synonimizing". I think you have the two confused because you would never know that my content is spun and neither could most warriors when I posted a side by side sample.

        And just think of the visitors, traffic and income you would make from real quality content. I do it, have never spun half arsed articles. I get real content or create, and do not have anything confused. LOL.

        all this side by side talk. Funny.

        again, i will say it and take the cotton wool in your ears out. QUALITY CONTENT IS KING!

        Everytime I create it, I get subscribers, sales, and an audience you could only ever have a wet dream about. But I get it, and probably wasting my breath.

      I don't need Google news to tell me that my sites perform better in the SERPS when using spun content for backlinks.

            Yep your right, so some poor guy googles" i'm having a heart attack" and some moron got lucky with spun gibberish and a garbage adsense looking site with backlinks from fiverr for 5 bucks linked to Bolivan porn sites, and his ads are on lawn chairs in mexico.
            great system. i guess he'll make a few bucks if the unlucky dude clicks a ad right before he drops over dead.

    Hahaha. I earn more from the amazon program than 90% on this forum. Earnings isn't a problem for me. I will say that only a portion of that is from my small spun sites but I will repeat: I've already demonstrated right here in the forum that humans cannot tell the difference when spinning is done properly.

    However, no real need to debate with you. Its no skin off my back. I'm still earning and that's really all that matters to me.

      I've said it before, too. If I can't tell, I don't care.

      Problem is, most of the folks asking about spinning aren't looking to do it properly. I'd venture that people consistently spinning articles at a level where a human can't tell the difference are about as rare as albino chameleons...

    I am not for spinning articles the way it is normally done, but the concept is not a bad idea.

    it is just that IMers as usual tried to exploit a normally ok thing for quick profits.

    anyone watch the new lately and see how FOX and CNBC "spin" virtually every news story.

    The idea of using base content and spinning it into a few different contexts or uses is fine. The problem comes when you try to exploit that and do it hundreds of times in 30 seconds using some software and then submit those crap articles to hundreds of places.

    I have seen a lot of junk out there. Heck, I get spun comments on a few of the blogs I run all the time. I got one the other day criticizing my spelling saying the blog posts were "rife with erring form spell". Yeah, that was a helpful comment!

    Anyway, my point is those who think spinning as an easy way to generate an article without any effort are seriously mistaken. Spinning helps me rewrite an article more quickly, but it is not without effort. Spun articles need to be edited for readability. I simply will not put anything out there that does not pass the "smell" test. If it stinks, I don't post it.

    When you think about it, spinning done correctly is not really that much different then an article that has been syndicated and duplicated 1000 times. Professional new media does this all the time. At least with a properly spun article there is some uniqueness even if the general ideas are still the same.

    My two bits worth...

      Probably not for long time. After penguin / panda, people are really getting worried about such spammy tactics. With SEs getting smarter and stricter, I don't see article spam, spun or otherwise to last long.

    Article spinning is on here because plainly simple IT STILL WORKS.

    For now.... that is haha.

    I'm sure that sooner or later SE's are going to start penalizing much heavier for it.

    But right now its what works so most aren't going to try to fight and go against what already works and still works.

      It won't happen soon anyway because:
      1. the AI will not be invented as least during our lives;
      2. if the AI will be invented, it still won't be able to detect the spun articles because even a human can't do that;
      3. the spinning technology is not stood still, but is getting continuously improved.
