Content Spinner Tool??? Worth? Recommendations?
-
Hi all !!
We have different websites in the english language (UK, IE, US, etc...), but we focus our content strategy (landing pages) in just one of them. We were thinking about using a Content spin tool to use this content in the other websites and give them an extra push in terms of SEO (content is the king :)).
Did you have any idea if they work fine?
Did you have any experience with them?
Can you recommend any?
Are they tools really worth or they are not working fine and after the spin a full review (and probably some re-write) is necessary?
Of course I´m talking about the paid ones.... Not even thinking about the free tools
Thanks for your help in advance !!!

Thank you all for your advice !!
We have decided to drop the idea of the spin tool and invest some resources in re-writing the content.
Thanks a lot and have a nice day

The others are absolutely correct. A content spinner "tool" or script is an outdated technique and will only cause your site tp have ranking problems. I couldn't imagine a use for a spinner tool now when it comes to organic search.
However, if you have a lot of ads to generate and you need to rewrite ad copy in order to test it you might find a spinner helpful. Even in that case, though, you'd want to manually review all of the results to make sure that they read correctly and the grammar is correct.

No problem at all - best of luck with the content

The greatest content spinner tool is your brain.
Instead of spinning content, if you're looking to share the same message across three different platforms, just bullet point the message of your landing page and craft unique content for each one around the main messages you're trying to get across.
Good luck!

Thanks for your answer Andy... We are a bit skeptical about this for that reason, we ask for advice for people that have used them or have experience with them.
Don´t be sorry, we appreciate your feedback
Thanks a lot

If I could add an animated graphic right now, it would be of someone waving their hands and shouting 'NO!'
Paid or free, you can't entertain anything like this if you don't want to get hit by a penalty or want to gain anything from Google.
Sorry, this is a big no-no.
Spend time on either writing or having someone write content for you. You might not get as much done if you are on a budget, but it will be unique and something that people will want to read.

My keywords have low search volume - is it still worth starting a blog?
I'm thinking of starting a new blog, but when I did my keyword research I found that my keywords all have low search volume (under 100 searches per month, with the occasional keyword having 480 searches a month). Is this a deal breaker? Any recommendations would be great - thanks everyone!

Is paid content a good or bad thing
Hi, over the past couple of years we have turned down thousands of request from companies to have paid editorial on our sites, I have always turned this down but i have seen some sites accept this and would like to know your stance on this. In newspapers and magazines which i have worked in both, they have paid editorial all the time, so i am just wondering what google thinks of paid editorial. look forward to hearing your thoughts

How to Get Rid of Duplicate Content Captured on Article Lists
We have a ton of articles and blog posts on our site. Currently, we display summary lists of articles that contain the first paragraph of the article in the summary list. However, in my reports, this is coming back as duplicate content with the full article itself. How do I fix this? Ex: article main page- http://www.robots.com/articles/10 First article on that page- http://www.robots.com/articles/viewing/grippers-for-robots (which shows up as duplicate content with the main artilce page). With our blogs, we have the most recent 5 blogs (in the same summary format) listed on our main blog page. We then have categories that people can sort by. But again, this is causing us duplicate content because those pages show the first paragraph of the blogs related to that category. Ex: blog main page- http://www.robots.com/blog. First blog listed on that page- http://www.robots.com/blog/viewing/robots-and-automation-bringing-jobs-back-to-the-united-states (which then shows as duplicate content with the main blog page). And then you can also select categories to see related topics: http://www.robots.com/blog/category/buying-a-robot which is showing as duplicate content also. Help! How can I prevent this? Thanks!

Using syndicated content / videos
Hi all, We are looking at using some syndicated video content on our main category pages. We are an pharmacy and offer prescription medicines (Yes we are NHS registered and no we don't sell generic products). I want to use the videos to increase the UX for the category pages and increase stickiness......however i am a little worried about how Google will see this. We don't have the time or budget to create our own videos but the rest of the content around them is all ours. The videos are provided by the NHS so they are good quality content and should add value to the consumer. Will big G stiff us for doing this?

Duplicate content on forums?
I am creating a forum. I am concerned that when I create the forum, users will copy content from other places to post onto my forum. How negative/bad is this in terms of google eyes? I am concerned when people copy press releases and re-post it to the forum. Should I make a rule that all content must be typed and not copied? Or is a little copying okay?

Onsite Content - Word Count & KW Density
Does the word count of a webpage make a difference to search engines? Are longer word counts on pages indexed higher or given higher priority? For example,say you have 300 words of copy packed with 20 keywords, and say you also have 700 words of copy that have the same 20 keywords worked in, does Google have a preference over which one it ranks higher?

For a consumer facing blog, how often do you recommend updating content to develop good rankings? I understand that it's really dependent upon the niche/competition, but what are some best practices? Content is expensive. Thanks
