Content Spinners

Content spinners were created because many websites were dropped out of the main Google listing. Instead, they now show up in "supplemental listings." These supplemental listings will only show if you take the extra step to click on "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 118 already displayed. If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included."

And, if there are already 118 displayed searches, chances are, you will have already found what you are looking for and won't take that extra step.

The reason that many sites were dropped to the supplemental listings was simple. They contained "duplicate" content. It didn't matter if the content was listed first on your website, if the information was found and indexed by Google somewhere else first, your site was penalized and no longer showed up in the search results.

This meant you could get penalized for submitting your content to article directories. It also meant that "scrappers," people who stole content form your site could get the credit for your content.

In order to combat this, website owners started changing their content enough to avoid the duplicate content penalties. And because nature abhors a vacuum, software meant to automate the process was soon released. "Content spinners" soon became a must have item for everyone looking to promote and protect their content.

Content spinners work by substituting synonyms for words in your article. Take the following sentence:

- Getting up in the morning can be difficult for people with depression.

Here is the same sentence through an article spinner:

- Getting up in the sun-up can be weighty for people with lowness.
- Getting up in the morning can be difficult for people with postpartum depression.
- Getting up in the morning can be exigent for people with postpartum depression.
- Getting up in the forenoon can be difficult for people with depression.
- Getting up in the morning can be difficult for people with heaviness of heart.
- Getting up in the morning can be crushing for people with depression.
- Getting up in the dayspring can be difficult for people with depression.

The content spinner has done exactly what its supposed to do, however the original meaning of the sentence has been changed or the sentence itself has become awkward and silly.

Yet, some people insist on submitting different versions of entire articles that have been spun into meaningless, poor quality documents.

Right now, nothing can replace a human editor working with a good thesaurus. In the time that you waste configuring and setting up your content spinner, you could have already rewritten your article. Or spend the small amount it would cost to have a freelancer do it for you.

To combat duplication penalties, submit a site map to Google every time you add articles to your site. If you blog daily, wait a day before you submit to article directories, so that Google has a chance to spider the article on your site first.

For those who are more technical, try to identify and ban scrappers.

Remember that you submit to article directories for the links they build. If 10 people pick up your article, that's 10 links pointing to your website from your resource box.

Article spinners software has progressed. It simply just isn't good enough - yet.
