Disclaimer: This post is for people who are familiar with using an article spinner. And also, on a professional note, I do not use any article spinner whenever I rewrite an article for a client.
Even though I’m a freelance writer, I will not be bashing all those article spinning software. What I will talk about is why many people still end up with rubbish spun articles even after using these tools.
The answer is simple: They only put variations on each word. In other words, they just find the synonyms for each word and put these within the spin tags.
Let us take a look at a sample sentence with variations for some of the words.
Original version: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
With spin tags: The {quick|alert|fast|agile|speedy|energetic} {brown|sepia|tan|tawny} fox {jumps|bounces|leaps|hops|hurdles} {over|above|on top of|beyond} the {lazy|apathetic|lethargic|languid|tired|unenergetic} {dog|man’s best friend|doggy}.
Possible spun version: The alert tawny fox hops beyond the apathetic doggy.
Does the possible spun version sound right? Grammatically there’s nothing wrong with it, but the thought or the idea of the sentence is lost. The better ways to spin an article are sentence by sentence or paragraph by paragraph. By doing this, the sense of the article will not be lost in the translation, er… variation.
Of course what I am trying to point out here is the effective way to spin an article with the goal of creating quality spun articles. But I think there are many people who are just after the number of spun articles as long as these cannot be considered duplicate content by Google.
I just would like to share with you guys a few links to my old posts that have something to do with writing. I believe that even though these are quite short posts, they still provide value to the reader.
How often have you used the Yellow Pages recently? As for me, I can’t even remember the last time I used it. I’m guessing 7 years ago?
Google is where we go now to look for anything that we want, although the Yellow Pages might be preferred by some because their searches would be made easier because everything was categorized.
These past few weeks, I find that I’ve been constantly distracted by my non-work related online activities. That sometimes while I am writing an article, I will feel the itch to log onto a social website and just waste time (yes, it is often just a waste of time) reading and making my own updates. It maybe a good way to reconnect with friends but should I be doing that every hour?
I am a social addict indeed.
1. Facebook
I don’t play the games on Facebook, I just find it fun to read my friends’ updates about almost anything that’s happening to them and making a comment or two.
2. Mitsulancerph.net
I drive a Mitsubishi Lancer and love that car. That’s why I frequent this Lancer-specific forum because of all the great tips and recommendations that the members give to each other. I’m not yet an official member because to do so I have to attend a number of meet-ups which I can’t fit in my schedule for now. Nevertheless, if you own a Lancer you will greatly benefit by becoming a member of this site.
3. Yahoo!
I use Yahoo! for two things: email and news reading. But what keeps me distracted most is whenever I feel the need to check on Yahoo! to see if they have any new interesting tidbits there. I find their news selection eclectic but definitely fun to read.
As an SEO copywriter, it sometimes falls under my tasks to find or research the best keywords for the article I would be writing. Although often it is the client who would provide me with the keywords. I enjoy doing keyword research (if I am not heavily loaded with other work) and I am using [...]
I’m not a fan of very long domain names. Are you? I classify a domain name to be too long when it contains more than 2 keywords in it. Just like this example: familydentalclinicsaginawmichigan.com Now that’s not a real domain name. In fact, it’s still available (as of this writing). In my opinion, only those [...]
When you are a freelance writer working mostly for online content, you have to learn all that you can about search engine optimization or simply SEO. That is because what good is your written content if people cannot easily find it through the search engines? The following are the top 3 SEO blogs that I [...]
Just like with any other profession, I also rely on the tools of my trade. In my case, it’s the word processors. It surely beats having to write everything on paper, which I used to do when I was still in school. There are many free word processors, but these top three are what I [...]
Freelance writing is indeed a 24/7 job. Why? Because I found myself working even on Christmas day.Well, not the whole day, but for just about a couple of hours as I had to work on an article. When that was done, I rewarded myself with a slice of ham and a nice ube cake. Yum! [...]
I have been very busy lately with a couple of projects and also with my upcoming wedding. My girlfriend and I are doing all the work. We did not hire a coordinator because we want to make it very personal for us. As you may also notice, because of these developments, I have not updated [...]
