What is Article Spinning?
Article spinning (otherwise known as article cloning) is the
method of taking an existing article and changing the words, and
other values, to create an entirely "new" article. And "new"
does not mean an entirely different article that has new ideas.
To put it simply, article spinning is really done by taking the
words in the original article and using synonyms to change the
content to create a clone article. Article spinning is
increasingly becoming popular among SEO firms to avoid having
the original article being marked as a "duplicate copy" among
the search engines.
How is Article Spinning Done?
There are essentially two ways to accomplish an article clone:
either by article spinning software or hiring a professional
copywriter. While there are countless article spinning software
sites that provide free spinning, this isn't the way to go.
Remember: you get what you pay for. If you need a quality
article that requires spinning, it would be good practice to
hire a writer who has experience in SEO article spinning.
Is it Ethical?
At this writing, Google and the other major search engines have
not expressed an opinion on this method. However, many experts
believe that this is the wrong road to take for an effective SEO
campaign.
Avoid an SEO Nightmare
If you want an effective SEO campaign, do it right and submit
articles that are done by a human writer.
