Does spinning content work any longer?
-
A few years ago, I used Free Traffic System, and spun a bunch of content to get links.
I still have tens of thousands of these links showing up in stats. They were probably not good quality links.
Will I get penalized if I pick up the spinning game again?

Hi,
English is not my mother tongue but I'm looking for a content spinning services provider to deliver hundreds of description for the same products categories. For example, I have 380 product descriptions for 1 category, 450 for another category, etc. and I have 87 categories to cover. I think content spinning is the only solution to generate these descriptions in a reasonable time frame and at a reasonable cost, too.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Sophia.[link removed by admin]

Keri,
Of course, that level of copy-writing, should be penalized, especially if they are that lazy to create an article that doesn't make sense.
I'm talking about top quality spinning. Something that Journalist and PR Specialist do, day in, day out. In fact, the majority of the news stories written today would of been reworded from another source. How else can news spread across outlets if it is all seen as related/duplicate content?
If i get 5 stories, take a piece from each story and reword it and add my opinion, at what point does Google see this as spun content?
It can't. Otherwise the majority if not all of the blogosphere would be seen as duplicate.I wouldn't even class this as grey hat. Just unoriginal topics with a differing opinion.

A single blog on my own servers, used a "fashion news" related site, with the occasional client anchor text dropped it, it has active social presence with many followers and ranks highly.
Manipulation of semi grey hat methods is needed for smaller clients. It is this stepping stone that creates traffic and leads to more organic methods in the future.

When you say mix things up "keep your content unique" that kind of makes sense to me. However when you say to me that you're actually spinning content between 15 other clients I don't know if you host or not or what c blocks? However Google will only take only need one lead to you before they figured out What I'm getting at is you might not get caught today my not this year but eventually Google will figured out their only spending more and more time trying to eliminate this type of stuff you have to have valuable content actually matters to rank. And I say that I mean rank in the future and stay clean don't do things that manipulate the system try to build something that's actually worth something that's what Google wants that's what people want to win. go to copy Copyscape.com type in your website and see what they Will call you for no cost and that is some a very simple one that is nothing compared to what Google has.

[disclaimer: I don't like content spinning, and I don't advocate it.]
Have someone who has native-level fluency read the generated content and make sure it makes sense. I've seen "think before you beverage" come out of "think before you drink" on an article about drinking.
Usually, high-quality sites won't accept spun content. For YouMoz, we reject content that is published elsewhere and reworded by hand.

I spin content on a daily basis and haven't noticed any sufficient drops as a byproduct. I think if you do it right it shouldn't be an issue. Just make sure you change the title, sentence structure, paragraph structure, anchor text and outbound links.
Also how often does the specific site/blog link to the page your trying to rank for? The beauty of having 10-15 clients is that when it comes to blog spinning each article, the anchor text is diverse to the previous 10 blog posts already posted.
Mix things up and make the content unique and you shouldn't have an issue.

Yes a few years ago used to work like a charm. However now you must be very very careful and definitely do not recycle or/spinn content when you do that you will definitely be picked up a Google algorithm and penalized severely. Just think of everything that you've achieved with it in the negative that's what you do essentially get. Don't try it and my best advice is used fresh content that has been written by a real human being to Try to trick Google is a waste of time these days. I hope I've been of help sincerely, Tom

Content of the Product Page
Hi Everybody : how can you tell if the content on the product pages are accessible by google ? please have a look at my product page : http://www.fireplaceproducts.co.uk/stoves/aarrow-stoves/aarrow-ecoburn-defra-wood-burning-stove/ i used classes in product page to set the key features, construction ,... i notices other companies done these as text and they get better ranks do you think that's the reason ? also to test that i added the text exact same as the key features , construction ,... as additional information at the end of the product page , would you thin that would be considered as duplication ? Kind Regards Arta

Content Marketing and how it effects Rankings
Hi there everyone! I have what I think is a simple question, but one I can't fully understand the answer to. If I had a homepage that I wanted to optimize for the keyword, e.g. "Second Hand Cars", so I add the keyword in the page title and text etc etc. But I still don't rank well for it. So I turn to content marketing and create some content on my site's blog about new cars, sports cars, and of course second hand cars, with some great content and anchor text pointing back to the home page. Now here's my question, how does creating that content on a blog, or on someone's blog/website help my homepage rank higher for my chosen keyword? Surely it would just help the blog post rank higher? And if someone were to search for "Buy Secondhand cars", wouldn't my hypothetical blog post (with more shares and links than my home page) rank higher than the home page itself? If anyone can clear this up for me I'd be eternally grateful! Thanks in advance Cheers

Pay Per Post Blog Reviews - Does It Work?
I have come to realize that several SEO companies are basing their entire link strategy on paying bloggers to write a review about their client's website that also includes a link back to their website. I am thinking about adding this as part of my link building campaign. I am thinking about acquiring approximately 15 links a month from PR 2-5 blogs that pertain to my industry and target audience. I am thinking of using the network payperpost.com to find good blogs. First question: Does this type of link building work well? Second question: Is 15 links a month from PR 2-5 blogs (writing on my subject matter) enough to help out?

Longer Tail Keyword for URL and Anchor text
Hello If I am trying to rank for the term blue widgets as a primary, and also the term shiny blue widgets , and big shiny blue widgets as secondary - would the url /blue-widgets or /shiny-blue-widgets or /big-shiny-blue-widgets be better (all else equal) Would the word shiny / big dilute or affect of KW in the domain for the rankings for blue widgets (all esle equal) Regarding anchor text of inbound links, if the anchor text is shiny blue widgets, is that going to help me rank for both queries "blue widgets" and "shiny blue widgets" equally? (all else equal), or would including shiny, affect my ranking for "bliue widgets" Or is it better to keep the anchor text as just blue widgets (of course we could vary it) but Im trying to get a feel for how that would work as we are builfing some links I can control the anchor text. I hope this was clear enough Thanks Sam
