Spin Your Articles, But Thoughtfully

In case you ended up reading this article out of complete confusion about a term in the title, let me start off by answering your query.  What does the term article spinning mean?

We sometimes spin articles so that we can get more rewards from the effort that we put into producing an excellent piece of web writing.  We want avoid having the very same article appearing on too many websites, due to the fact that content that is too similar won’t benefit anyone involved.  The prospective readers don’t want to repeatedly be asked to read the very same article, the publishers risk receiving no benefit at all from a duplicate article since the major search engines try not to list the same content multiple times in any set of results for a given search by a user and we online marketers, have no chance of getting all of the visitors or search engine optimization value through our links that we might have have received from entirely fresh articles. 

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 complete paragraphs, for complete sentences, for phrases of a few words and for single words. 

We can also place alternatives within other alternatives, using a process known as nested spinning.  For example, let’s use this as my first sentence: “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 each paragraph, one at a time, once.  Rewrite the first two or three paragraphs and the last paragraph a second time for each.  Now, using nesting, rewrite each sentence in each of the alternatives one time.  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.

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.  While not as thorough, the second method is faster to prepare.

If you choose to contract with a qualified article spinning service, you should be certain that the spinners, who may also be willing to write the base article for you, will follow these general recommendations.  Indeed, consider sending the spinning company a link to this article.
