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 A content spinner "tool" or script is an outdated technique and will only cause your site tp have ranking problems.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.

Community Discussion - Should low-cost content providers be seen as viable options for content marketers?
Hello there, In the latest YouMoz post, "Case Study: How We Gained More than 100 Links for a Travel Website via Content Marketing," Tom McLoughlin recommends an idea for content creation that is sure to elicit strong opinions from all sides: "Websites like Fiverr and Upwork are fantastic resources for finding freelancers who do great work. It simply takes a bit of initial time to sift through and separate the wheat from the chaff. Once that’s done, give the freelancers a detailed brief and tell them exactly what you want." What's your opinion? Have you had good experiences using these sites? If so, what have you found as the keys to making the working relationship a success.

Duplicate content penalty
Hi there, I'd like to ensure I avoid a duplicate content penalty and could do with some advice. There is a popular blogger in my industry. I have agreed to add his blog to my website. He currently posts his blog on one of the popular free blogger platforms, and will continue to do this. The issue is that I will be posting duplicate content onto my site and I want to ensure that I do not trigger a google penalty. Is there a simple way form me to inform Google of the original source of the content. My intitial thoughts are: 1. Add a noindex to the Robots.txt file 2. Add a link at the beginning of the article pointing to the original source 3. Adding a rel=canonical tag in the header of each blog entry pointing to the original blog post which resides on a completely different domain. Thanks DBC

Nearely identical content
Hi Everybody, I'm just checking the warnings from Seomoz an realized that on our site there are a lot of duplicate page content problems. In fact some of them are not really duplicated content because there are subtle differencies ie. colour or pack of products: http://www.szepsegbolt.hu/termekek/david_beckham_intimately_yours_for_man_eau_de_toilette_30_ml.html http://www.szepsegbolt.hu/termekek/david_beckham_intimately_yours_for_man_eau_de_toilette_50_ml.html What do you suggest, ignore this warning or change something on the site? Thank you in advance Balint

Is this Duplicate Content?
I searched a snippet of one of our Articles (in quotes) and got two results back in Google, one for the article on our site and one for our development/staging site. Does that mean that our development site is getting indexed by Google, even thought we "Disallow:/" in the robots.txt file? Is this a big duplicate content issue? Thanks
