Is article spinning necessary?
-
Say I create my own original content for my website.
If I want to build backlinks and promote to web 2.0 websites, do I need to spin my articles to submit to them or can I just send them a direct copy?
-
The question you maybe need to ask is 'Should I submit my articles to article directories in the first place". Many on here will tell you the answer is no, that you should put the content on your own website and not on another website at all.
-
Cool, that's what I needed to know. So in essence I don't need to spin my articles. Yay.
-
Article spinning is terrible. As is anything that adds pointless content to the web. My mantra is to only add content that is valuable to a user or users somewhere. Take Marcus' advice.

As Marcus said, it seems to me that content spinning is one of blackhat attitudes, so normally it should be avoided by any SEOs. This can cause serious Panda penalties in the future!

Is article spinning necessary? Absolutely not! What are you trying to do? Build a reputation for putting out weak and near duplicate content? Pick up a panda penalty?
Can we see through the question you originally posed and find out what the real question or problem is? Do you need links? Then create great content that people want to link to! If you want to build some general purpose links then write some (original) articles and stick them up at places that will get you quick easy links. Ezinearticles.com, hubpages, squidoo etc will allow links with anchor text for some easy wins but don't make that the backbone of your strategy.
Ultimately, if you want to promote your website with content, then your best bet is to become socially active in your topical area, make friends and see if you can guest post with some kick ass articles on their sites.
If you want to spin articles, you are swimming upstream as everything Google is about at the moment is eradicating weak and thin content from the web so please, for your own sake, don't do that.

Article Marketing - manual vs automated or both
Hi Mozzers, Are services such as Article Samurai or Content Crooner worth the time/effort/money? On one hand, I cannot see them generating high quality links. But , they may be able to help on the quantity side of the link building equation. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with automated article submission? Thanks, Peter

How to Check if The Content is Spinned
Hi guys, We run 5 ecomm sites in the fashion industry. We set up blogs for each one of them. Our regular writer cannot handle the job of posting 1-2 unique articles per day on 5 blogs plus the extra copy writing jobs he has. We want to involve freelancers in writing our articles. We do not want to spin content (due to low prices of real articles). The issue we have is that we want to be able to check if the articles our contractors deliver us are spinned content or not. We would not accept spinned articles if we pay for unique content 🙂 Do you know any good spinned content checker that we can use? If possible, please post 2-3 software, free or paid, so we can use them simultaneously to check the articles. Thanks in advance

What white hat article marketing tactics do you use?
It seems there's a lot of negative connotations with the phrase "Article Marketing" as it's associated with spam, spinning, etc. I couldn't find anything other than that, which begs to ask, what are the white hat tactics that you use after you publish your article? What tools do you use to streamline the process? Social Bookmarking? RSS? Any methods you use to score quick backlinks? How do you get your content in front of bloggers?
