Spin That Article, But Intelligently

In case you ended up reading this article out of complete confusion about a term in the title, let me begin by answering the question that is on your mind.  What is the point of article spinning?

When we use article spinning, it is so that we can obtain more benefit as a result of the time or financial resources that we have invested into producing an excellent example of Internet writing.  We want avoid having the very same article’s publication on a large number of sites, because content that is too similar won’t benefit anyone involved.  Our prospective readers don’t want to repeatedly find the same article, the websites risk receiving no benefit at all from a duplicate article because the search engines attempt to avoid showing the same content multiple times in any search results and we Internet marketers, in turn stand a substantially decreased liklihood of getting all the visitors or the search engine optimization benefit that we could have otherwise received. 

Spinning is simply rewriting the article, one bit of content at a time, and then using software to randomly select from the alternatives that we have written for each section to construct a large number of unique articles from our original version combined with our alternatives.  We might provide our software alternatives for entire paragraphs, for complete sentences, for phrases or for single words.  We can even code our spinning in such a way so that some versions of the resulting articles may have six paragraphs while other have eight, for example. 

We can also place alternatives within other alternatives, using a process known as nested spinning.  As an example of this, let’s say that my original sentence is, “I love my new brown coat.”  I may decide to write two alternatives for that sentence.  One alternative might be, “I certainly enjoy the brown coat that I recently purchased.”  Another option might be to break the original into a couple sentences in this fashion:  “I have a new coat that I really enjoy.  It’s a dusty brown.”  So the computer will randomly choose one of those three alternatives for a given version of my article.

In order to use nested spinning, I give you an example using just the third alternative, although I could nest additional choices into any or all of the three options.  Let’s say that I decide to let the computer select either “really enjoy” or “like immensely.”  Furthermore, perhaps I can change “dusty brown” to “muted shade of brown” in some cases.

The more choices the spinning software has, the more versions of the same base article that are sufficiently unique (different from every other version) will be successfully generated.  (A good target is to have each version that you submit to a website be a minimum of 25% different from every other version.  I actually prefer to reach a higher standard of about 35% or more.)

Here are a couple slightly different approaches to make the best use of your article spinning.

Method 1:  Rewrite every paragraph one time (two would be even better).  Use nested spinning by now rewriting each sentence in each alternative of each paragraph once.  Next, add one more level of nesting by providing alternatives to certain words and phrases in the first two paragraphs and in the last paragraph.

Method 2:  Rewrite every sentence in the entire article one time.  Go back to the beginning of the article.  Provide one more rewritten version of each sentence in the first, second and last paragraphs.  Using nesting, provide alternative words and phrases for each of the alternative sentences in the first several paragraphs and that last paragraph.  Also provide some alternatives for selected words and phrases in those middle paragraphs.

The first approach is better, especially if you have a high standard of uniqueness that you want to achieve or if you want to generate a large number of unique articles.  The second approach is faster and will usually yield satisfactory results.

If you choose to contract with a professional article spinning business, I suggest that you make sure that the service will abide by these broad recommendations.  Perhaps you may want to send them a link to this article.

One final tip:  As a rule, you achieve better results with longer articles, as the total number of alternatives (and, thus, possible unique combinations of alternatives) increases with the total number of sentences.  Of course, longer articles will also take far more time to prepare for spinning, so you need to weigh those variables in determining article length.
