Article Spinning versus Article Syndication

[seosingapore]

So are you an advocate for Article spinning, or Article Syndication? There are people who are confuse regarding duplicated content versus syndicated content. What is the benefit of article spinning ? And what is the issue with article syndication (if any)? With Google's latest crack down on over-optimization, what is the implication to mass articles submission to directories ?

Please share your thoughts on subject matter.

[SEO Content Demon]

One thing to mention here... If you won't posting the content that you are submitting in directories then you are not at loss.

Article Spinning:

You want an article written for you and spun > You find someone that can write the article pretty cheap and also spin you about 10 or so for you to use > There is a high possibility that English is not their first language and very high chance it will not read correctly > English may be their first language but it probably still won't read well > They claim that the articles are spun to over 60% per article so Google will not be able to to catch on that they are all the same.

All this for around $10 - Sounds great right

Ok, now let's wake up back into the real world and analyse the above.

You really think that the multi-million dollar Google algorithm is going to be outwitted by someone that has spun 10 articles in 30 mins or less?

You think that the fact that words have been changed, this is what Google looks for?

The Google database algorithm is one of the most complex setups containing algorithms for LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) as standard. It knows how to recognise spun articles and also how to report back to itself that it has found them.

It also knows the quality of the site on which the spun articles are found. What this means is that if the articles are just re-written articles but on authoritative sites such as newspapers, specific blogs that are tied in/themed with your writings etc, then it will place some more importance on it.

If they are just blasted all over the web via some of those article marketing programs, then be warned as Google have started downgrading a lot of blog-blaster/article sites.

Article Syndication:

This is done by many newspapers/magazines etc and though people think that it can't be any good as it is just the same article syndicated. Again, one needs to bear in mind where it is being syndicated, the authoritativeness of the site syndicating it. If the sites syndicating it have no authority, this is not a major problem as all sites start somewhere and the chances of being punished by Google for this are pretty low.

Best thing to bear in mind is that one pays for what they get and well written articles are not only picked up by non-authoritative sites, but also ones carrying some weight and it is these that will help you the most.

Just to confuse you even more here I would say that article spinning can work fine but you have to find someone that can do it so that all the articles read well as they quickly proof-read them and don't just hit a spin button and then send them to you. Done by the right person, this will take a while and could cost at least double or triple the $10 one would pay, though well worth it.

Article syndication works just as well and used by many big newspapers or magazines and it doesn't get them into trouble, at worst, Google may just place weight on one of your articles.

don' t use article spinning, i tryed it and it spin it very akward, it's non sense words, so write good unique articles, is better this way

[GeraldNitram]

I wouldn't use a spinner to create a lot of "unique" content so that I can post it on a lot of article directories. I'd rather create "original" content and have it syndicated. If I'm given the chance to use a spinner, I'd use it as a thesaurus.

[howinfo]

I do run article directory and we do not accept spun content, well at least not knowingly and if you want your articles to get syndicated then spun articles wont do anyway. The best chance to get your article syndicated is to submit good quality articles to article directories that make syndication easy. Some of the article directories I have seen do not even offer syndication or have made it too difficult.

In our article directory we offer plain text articles as well as html ready articles and it is made very easy for webmaster to syndicate them.

Article spinning is not a good one because an article spin through software into various copies but there is grammatical mistakes and nuance meanings can be formed.
Article syndication is distribute an article into various different article sites to speed up indexing.

[SEOGiant]

Article spinning is useful only if you can do it right. The spun articles must be readable. Google can detect which article is readable and which is not and google hates those unreadable articles. So don't use auto spun garbage articles, instead spin the article by yourself and do sentence spin to create more uniqueness to the articles.

Hi SEOSingapore,

Article Spinning and Automated Mass Submission to Article Directories

You get content and backlinks, in non-contextual article directories. You get backlinks, in Google PR N/A or Google PR 0 published article pages, under those article directories. Remember, all newly published pages start with a Google N/A, or a Google PR 0, at the very least. Yes: Even if the article directory has a high homepage Google PR, and the published article gets link juice, from an internal link to it, because of an internal link on the "Newly Published" section in the homepage of the article directory, the Google PR of the article directory's homepage is distributed to many internal and external links. And, no traffic benefit, either, because there's no such thing as a 100% CTR. So, 97%, on average, of the traffic that goes to that published article page, goes to the other internal and external links, displayed on the same page, more so to the pages linked by big banner and text link ads, also displayed on that page. And, only 3%, on average, goes to the pages linked by the resource box links of the published article...

Content Syndication

You get content and backlinks, in contextually relevant, high authority sites in your niche. These sites have readership, membership and mailing list subscriber bases, comprised of people interested in content, info, advice, products and services relevant to your content, info, advice, products and services. You could also get natural backlinks, from the webmasters and viewers of those sites, who could link to your syndicated content, from other sites, blogs and online social networks/communities/groups. Plus, the backlinks in your syndicated content don't compete with many other links, in terms of viewer clicks...

The main objective is to get targeted traffic, then convert that traffic into sales...

9 out of 10 times article spinning is a waste of time and/or money. Just write, or manually rewrite an article.

[transcribing]

Best practice is to avoid article spinning because it does not reflect the actual content and its waste of time. Article syndication can help you a lot.

As for my concern article spinning is the well process of rewrite the article, if some one doesn't know about writing an article on specific topic, What article spinner does actually, it creates the synonyms of the related words, and sentece looks like the different from the original contents.

[xdarata]

I prefer to create an original article, not the spin article. Some of the current directory does not want to accept the spin articles. They wanted the original and fresh articles. But which article type is more effective in SEO? Thank you.

[GeniusStartup]

The answer to your question is a flat "neither".

To stay in business you'll need to create your own original content. The days of being able to recycle crap and make a business out of it are thankfully coming to an end.

The last time i checked the internet, article spinning is the rewriting an existing article to provide slightly different perspective on the topic while article syndication is the practice of submitting an article to different site,directories and blogs. I usually goes out of idea and i cant not think of new topics to write so i prefer article spinning.According to most people, article spinning helps avoid the penalty imposed by search engines for using duplicate contents.

[GeniusStartup]

I wasn't talking about taking a inspiration from something you've read / seen and creating your own article about. I'm talking about the usual form of spinning - steal an article and just change the words around a bit.

My point is that if this is your primary way of creating content you're on borrowed time because Google's algorithm for detecting these kinds of articles is getting better all the time.

[designprint]

Not a fan of article spinning. Aside from the fact that it's a really unethical practice, it destroys the credibility of the contents in the internet. It's also a selfish technique.

[Webfire]

I think article spinning and syndication can work together. I agree that spinning gets a bad rap because the original unique article is not high in quality in the first place. That’s the foundation…it’s critical to have a well written original article and it’s not going to happen at $5 bucks a pop.

Start with a great original article and then the article has to be prepared well to make the spin make any sense. I agree that most spins are really bad, because someone thinks that all they have to do is write a so-so article, enter it into the software and it’s magically going to spit out something good.

On top of that, it becomes impossible to make a good spin if someone doesn't have a good handle on English and how to interchange synonyms and write a quality article in the first place.

The article needs to be rewritten as well as it was originally written and then these variations put in the software will produce spun content that is of equal quality. This takes time to do and it’s not going to be cheap to get done.

To do this, rewriting paragraphs and sentences work well and then the spinner software varies those sentences to provide original content that still reads well.

Anyway, it can be done, but doing it the right way is important with the right software. I do it but I know others absolutely hate the practice.

[george88smith88]

i tried spinning the article around 35%, some of it got some problems with the grammar because it is not that readable but what we do is we correct it since it is only few of them to re-phrase words so still it gives us good article to post. Article syndicate i heard of it but i didn't tried it yet.

[Carrieli]

It is not advisable to use article spinner because the article made by such tools will have many grammatical mistakes and nuance meanings. so just try to rewrite article manually.
