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 A content spinner "tool" or script is an outdated technique and will only cause your site tp have ranking problems.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

I want to use some content that I sent out in a newsletter and post as a blog, but will this count as duplicate content?
I want to use some content that I sent out in a newsletter a while ago - adding it as a blog to my website. The newsletter exists on a http://myemail.constantcontact.com URL and is being indexed by Google. Will this count as duplicate content?

Duplicate Content
Hi All, I am doing work for a rug company that acts as a third party. They have close to 4,000+ products. Each rug belongs to a collection. The collection has one main description that is the same throughout every rug in the collection. Ex. One Collection has 15 rugs, all with the same description. Should I take the time and change every single description? I think the answer is yes but I wanted another opinion. Thanks

Duplicate Content
I have a service based client that is interested in optimizing his website for all the services that he provides in all the locations that he provides them in. For example: Service 1, location 1 Service 1, location 2 Service 2, location 1 Service 2, location 2 He wants to essentially create an individual page for each of the above, but i'm concerned that he will be penalized for duplicate content. Each of the pages would have the keyword in the url, page title and within the main body of content. We would certainly alter the content somewhat, but not sure how much a difference this would make. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Content: Best Blogs Article
Hello, For an Ecommerce site, I think a good way to get known is to write a "Best X Blogs" article, where X is a topic in your industry, and then letting the people you link to know about the article. I got the idea from a Mozinar. My question is, how close does the X from above have to be in your niche? For example, if your product is running shoes can you write a "best athlete blogs" article? I'm worried about them reading the article, then leaving. In some smaller niches the topics closest to the product don't have much in the way of blogs out there. So how close to your niche does the Best X Blogs topic have to be?

Should we syndicate content?
Hello Mozzers! Our company (FindMyAccident) is an accident news site. The goal is to roll our reporting out to all 50 states; currently, we operate full-time in 7 states. To date, the largest expenditure is our writing staff. We hire professional
Content Development | | Wayne76
journalists who work with police departments and other sources to develop written
content and video for our site. Our visitors also contribute stories and/or
tips that add to the content on our domain. In short, our content is original. A site that often appears alongside us in the SERPs in the markets where we work full-time is accidentin.com. They are a site that only syndicates accident news and offers little original content. (They also allow users to submit their own accident stories, and the entries index quickly and are sometimes viewed by hundreds of people in the same day. What's perplexing is that these entires are isolated incidents that have little to no media value, yet they do extremely well.) The link profile is virtually non-existent. There are approximately 6 linking domains. I don't rest my bets with Quantcast figures, but accidentin does use their pixel sourcing and the figures indicate that they are receiving up to 80k visitors a day in some instances. Not too shabby for the Flying Dutchman of accident news sites. 🙂 I understand that it's common to see news sites syndicate from the AP, etc., and traffic accident news is not going to have a lot of competition (in most instances), but the real shocker is that accidentin will sometimes appear as the first or second result above the original sources. What the...!? The question: does anyone have a guess as to what is making it perform so well? While looking at their model, I'm wondering if we're not silly to syndicate news in the states where we don't have actual staff? It would seem we could attract more traffic by setting up syndication in our vacant states. Should the Panda updates have any effect on their site? Thanks, gang.... Wayne0 -
Panda and Thin Content
Hi Guys, I have a quick question. We have a website and in the wake of Panda, we are worried about our video news section. We produce about 10 videos news a month on a templated page and beneath it is a small extract of the words spoken in the video. The text below each video is about 180 words each. Currently the video news section makes up and 1/5 of the content on the site. I.e Out of 500 pages, we have about 100 video news articles. Should I be worried about being wacked by Panda for this? Can I tell Google this is a news section?
