Article Spinning: “To Spin Or Not To Spin” - A Secret Strategy For Success

Internet business owners (and even not-for-profits) write articles mainly for 2 purposes:

(1) to get the target market to find their articles through search engines (SEs), read them and visit their sites, resulting in direct free traffic to their sites;

(2) to get ‘back links’ and move up the Search Engine rankings.

Since there are 100’s of good article directories, article owners naturally want to maximize the impact of their articles by submitting to all of them (or at least, as many of them as possible), and get lots of free traffic and back links. If they submit the same (identical) articles, Search Engines like Google would credence to just one back link; also many article directories reject such duplicate articles.

Article spinners came in precisely to address this issue. Article spinners help article owners spin multiple articles out of one (or more) ’seed’ articles. Though the substance of the spun articles will be the same as the original, the wordings of the spun versions will be different. So, Search Engines may see the spun articles as being different from the original, if they are accepted as different by software that check for duplicate content.

Article spinning involves a 2-stage process:

(1) substituting words, normally using a software tool that shows synonyms (also called a synomizer), and

(2) using a spinner software to spin.

Are Spun Articles Good?: Both the quality of writing and the quality of the spinner software play an important role in determining the quality of unique articles spun.

Though you may spin and try to make SEs see the articles as different, you write articles for real people to read. (Unless your goal is merely getting links, and you don’t care about what people will think of you when they read your spun versions of articles that look like garbage.) It has been found that the benefit you get from people reading your articles and finding their way to your site far outweighs the benefit of back links. So, the quality of unique articles produced is very important.

Most spun articles are just garbage. (To read a sample of such an article spun using software, please click here. Courtesy: Warrior Forum)

Search Engines do not like spun articles; more so, the people who read them.

How will SEs detect spun articles? No one knows for sure, as they keep this (and many such things) a secret. But experts believe that they (esp. Google) use several techniques - from the simple ‘% duplicates’ using online/ offline software that work like ‘dupefreepro’ and ‘dupecop’, to the more complex checks for the structure of the article (going right down up to the structure of the paragraphs and even sentences). “Is it possible to do such a rigorous check of the millions of sites?”, you may wonder. They have ways of identifying only potential candidate sites for checking; they need not compare every site with the rest of the sites on the net. This is not as complex a task as it may seem.

SEs are only against spinning, the way it has evolved, not against genuine re-creation of content, because they want lots of original content. If they look for only the first (original) version of any content, the net would be one-millionth its current size (or am I too optimistic in my estimate?)

Rewritten articles will, therefore, be more acceptable to SEs and humans, since they will be as good as the original in every respect, including language style and grammar.

Article Spinning - My Strategy For Success: For your article to succeed, the secret strategy I recommend is ‘Article Re-creation’ rather than ’spinning’. Let me explain.

Don’t create variations of your articles using any automated software. Re-create unique articles by a process of manual (not software-driven) ‘word, phrase, and even sentence’ modification, based on the context. Use a good re-creation software that can work on not just the article body, but also on the article title, summary, anchor texts, and even keywords. So, you’re assured of very high quality unique (re-created) articles, and 100% credit for your back links.

Though the difference between article spinning and re-creation may appear small, it’s vital. It could be the difference between success and failure.
