So you want to exponentially increase the effectiveness and efficiency of your article marketing efforts, and you’re looking towards article spinning to achieve this goal. But there’s a little voice inside of you asking, “Isn’t this kinda spammy? What will Google think of me?” I understand. I’ve been there. (Yes, not all internet marketers are slimy snake-oil salesmen.) But just like many other things in life, there’s a right (legal and ethical) way and a wrong (illegal, unethical, and “spammy”) way to use rewritten articles to expand your online reach. Today I’ll discuss the former.First, I’ll pose a “deep” question to you: Isn’t all knowledge spun? Think about that for a second. How many truly, 100% original ideas have their ever been? The wheel, the computer, pet rocks…and I’m drawing a blank.
No, seriously, there have been quite a few, but the vast majority of all that it is we know is simply a restating, permutation, and/or extension of a prior idea.
Don’t believe me? What if I told you that you likely use (and value) spun or rewritten content each and everyday? Do you read different bloggers’ summaries of important news stories or items of interest? Did you have to buy a new Calculus textbook each year of college (well, with the stunning breakthroughs and advances in Calculus yearly…
)? Wikipedia is a model of spinning. And at the risk of offending someone–the Bible is likely the most spun written work in all of human existence!
So, spun content is all around us, everyday. Is that a bad thing? Certainly not. First, who’s to say that they’ve created the ultimate, definitive version of any work? That would be presumptuous and ridiculous. Second, different people respond to different things, and what you may find interesting and useful, another may be unable to comprehend. Spinning content helps you appeal to everyone, instead of a select few.
My next point is most relevant to the online publisher: let’s say you write a good article. No, not just good, GREAT. You want to share this with the online world, so you’ll finally be recognized as the genius you always knew you were, and your servers will be “Dugg” and “Slashdotted” into oblivion. But there’s a problem–it’s only one article. On one server. Who’s going to see that?
The sad fact is that there are so many unethical scam artists out there choking the search engines with “psuedo-content” that the chances of your valuable, useful, real content being seen are minuscule at best. So you decide to post the same article on every site that will take it. And you wait…and wait…and wait…and still no one sees it.
Why? Because the search engines are looking for that one, ultimate version. And they have far too much work to do, and far too limited resources to store 100 copies of the exact same article, no matter how earth-shattering it is. So your article gets indexed from one site, you get one whole backlink to your site, and a handful of visitors who may or may not decide to share your wonderful article with the rest of the world. The problem is that your “message” is trapped within your “words.”
This is where the utility of spinning comes in. Spinning your content allows you to separate your “message” from your “words.” You can then continually “repackage” your message by creating several different spun versions, and then submit these “unique packages” to every site you can. The search engines then see each article as unique, and worthy of inclusion in their indices. You extend your online reach, appeal to a wider audience, and are rewarded for creating such great content with an influx of backlinks, visitors, and higher search engine rankings!
Of course, for maximal benefit, you’re going to need to start with a great piece of content. Spinning gibberish is a waste of time, and it’s this misuse of content spinning (often perpetrated by producers of worthless “automatic website creators” or “software spinner tools”) that probably gave you pause when you first considered content spinning to help boost your online marketing efforts. But it’s nice to be able to turn that one piece of great content into 10, 20, 50, or 100 pieces of great content!
Back to your original question–”What will Google think of me?” If your content’s good, Google will love you. That’s the bottom line. Google just wants to provide its users with valuable, useful content. If you can provide that, you will rank highly in Google. Spinning is not inherently bad, evil, or “spammy”–it’s only a tool for spreading your message online quickly and efficiently.
“So, where I can get quality spun versions of my articles, written by real people, not software, ready within hours and at insanely low prices (say, less than a penny-and-a-half per word)?” you may be asking. Well, it just so happens that <BLATANT_PLUG> SpunWrite.com </BLATANT_PLUG> provides just such a quality service. Check us out–you won’t be disappointed.
Well, that was longer than I expected. Hope you made it through the whole thing, and best of luck in your online marketing efforts!

I’ve used your service and been thrilled with the resulting spun articles, as I’ve said twice now, the spun articles are better than the original was….
It’s True, Google Loves Spun Articles I’ve even put the spun articles on the same site as the original, and then respun your articles again, just as an experiment and I got about the same amount of visitors to each of the 5 different but similar pages, just becuase of the slightly different wording. So it does work, definately.

I agree with you, Paul. Article spinning is indeed VERY POWERFUL, if done right. I once heard someone saying article spinning is for the lazy folks. Well, as strange as it might sound, article spinning is actually for those that are NOT lazy.
But of course, I am talking about the RIGHT way of spinning your articles. There’s the wrong way and the right way. The wrong way is when you just automatically use the synonym replacement aspect of article spinning software to spit out completely unreadable gibberish, in the name of articles. That’s just junk and no one can read even one sentence from such junk articles.
But if you really want to get the best from article spinning, then a great deal of effort is required to put into the original work. By a lot of effort I am talking about investing several hours or even days to get one SEED article or a group of SEED articles rewritten with different phrases, sentences and paragraphs. If done right, just one SEED article can be uniquely spun into hundreds or even thousands of copies that can escape the duplicate content filter!
One of MOST POWERFUL article spinning tools out there that is completely free is PlugAndSpin Article Spinning Software .
