A Question About Article Spinning...

Hey everyone,

I just submitted a unique article at ezinearticles. I going to wait until it gets approved there first, then submit my article to a bunch of different article directories with decent pr. My questions are ... Should I spin my article every time when I submit to different article directories? How long does it actually take for an article to be published and accepted at ezinearticles? Do I have to change my title every time I submit to new directories? Do I have to wait until ezinearticles accepts and publishes my article before I submit it to different directories? Is it necessary to spin my article if I plan to submit it to multiple directories? And finally ... Is there a reliable, easy to use and free article spinner I can use for this process? Note: article will link back to a affiliate link that is forwarded and masked.

It is a lot of questions, I appreciate everyone willing to take the time and help answer these questions.

Thankyou

    No offense but people still spin articles? Did someone tell you that still works?

    If you go around, you'll realize there is no real, but all are the spun articles. But it is not easy to recognize it if the person who spins it is a spinning master.
    Yes you can change the title every time you submit your article and it is recommended.

    This is my opinion only, you will hear different advice from others.

    Submitting to EzineArticles is fine but you won't see a lot of PR streaming to your site because of it. Your page with EZA will most likely carry minimal or no PR.

    Don't spin articles - ever! There is no sense in doing this. I have never seen a spinner that spins an article well - and even if it did - what sense does it make to have the same articles with a few synonyms changed out?

    Instead, spend the time you would trying to do the spin and write a brand new unique article in the same niche.

    Spinning is aptly named . . . you spin your wheels when you do it and it gets you nowhere!

    The very best to you,

    Steve

    LOL - I'm with Clix on this one. This is a strategy turned tragedy. It used to work very well, but in the famous words of Neil Peart - it was Fly By Night.

    Unique as in "not even having published it on your own site first"?? :confused:

    Every article marketer here, I believe, will advise you always to publish them on your own site first. For good and valid reasons.

    This little thread explains why it's a mistake to submit unique content to Ezine Articles: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...marketing.html

    And in this much longer thread, a large succession of pro article marketers explain at length and in detail all their shared reasons for publishing articles on their own site first, awaiting their indexation by Google and only then submitting them to EZA: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...eza-first.html

    I strongly advise you not to. There's extremely unlikely to be any additional benefit from having it other article directories after it's already in Ezine Articles. Certainly no real SEO benefits, and for all the reasons explained in this thread, no article marketer would want potential customer traffic to arrive at their site via an article directory. :confused:

    Also, note that there's no such thing as "an article directory with decent PR". Here's the thing: article directories are websites, and websites don't "have page ranks". Only pages have page ranks.

    Do you see what I'm saying? Regardless of the page rank of the article directory's own home page, your article isn't going to be published on its own home page, is it? It's going to go on its own newly-formed PR-N/A page (which will become a PR-0 page at the next PR update).

    Definitely not.

    The reasons are very fully explained, with some references, in this post: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post8276573 <---- you really need to read this one, and click on its links.

    It depends who you are. Platinum and diamond authors in good standing are typically published within 12 hours. It's longer for others. But why do you care? You don't need EZA to publish before other directories (which you probably shouldn't be using anyway), if this was your concern? Ezine Articles does not require unique content.

    Every article I've ever submitted to EZA has been initially published on one of my own sites, then extensively syndicated elsewhere, and finally a copy's been submitted to EZA as an afterthought (which is all EZA is, to article marketing, really). I don't much care how long they take to publish them (but usually I submit late at night and they're online when I wake up).

    No.

    No, but you probably shouldn't be using any other article directory anyway, unelss you find one that's specific to your niche - that might help, admittedly.

    No. It's a very poor idea indeed.

    It doesn't matter, because you shouldn't spin them anyway.

    Not trying to retain any of your traffic by opting them in and sending them some email? How do you keep them returning to the sales page, without doing that? Not many people buy things at their first visit to a sales page ...

    Please excuse the observation (intended helpfully and not critically!) that you seem terribly confused about how article marketing works, and specifically about what the available benefits are (and aren't!) from article directory submission. This thread really will help you: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5068872 <--- you really need to read this one, too, I'm afraid.

      Which part of "Spinning is based on a fundamental misunderstanding. It's a solution to a problem that doesn't actually exist. A solution of benefit only to people selling spinning software and services. Spinning is without value. It can damage your business, but it can't help you" caused the ambiguity there?

    I would highly suggest rewriting them manually.

    There are thesaurus plugins available for free (Firefox has one that you highlight the word or use a keyboard shortcut), if you need alternative words. Otherwise, you could use a spinning service, but you still would want to rewrite and correct the entire original article.

  • Don't spin articles. Ever. There is no situation where it is a good practice or a good idea. Never.

    Now, Go up and read the post by Alexa Smith again. Click on EVERY link she provided. Read the post she linked to. Read it twice. If you take the next 2-3 hours and read through all the information she gave you, and really absorb it, you'll have obtained more value than you could get from 50 WSOs and learn everything you need to know to get started with real article marketing.

    Good luck

    It isn't a good idea to spin articles. Because spun contents are not really unique to Google's eyes as most people think.
