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

Parent pages : Duplicate content
Hello, I think this question relates to "Parent pages" structure or SILO but I couldn't find an answer online. For a website that sell products, for example "Appliances". A link to this page appears in 1 category of the menu named "kitchen" but also in another 1 category named "household appliances". It means that it appears twice in the menu but with a unique URL. Would that affect SEO ? Is it duplicate content ? And would it be better to choose 1 father or let it that way ? Thanks for your help. Max

How much 'ranking power' would a link from a privacy policy page of a Big Brand have if the site content is totally unrelated?
Let's say that Site A is a large brand with high authority ( Moz shows it at 90 DA). Site A is about “Blue Shoes”. Site B is about “fishing”. If Site A links from their privacy policy page to Site B … would that inbound link carry enough weight in a way that could impact rankings for Site B given that the content is totally unrelated and it's a link from a privacy policy? I’m asking if the work to get clients/partners do this help. I have a hypothetical question for you all! Site A is a large brand with high authority ( Moz shows it at 90 DA). Site A is about “Blue Shoes”. Site B is about “fishing”. If site A links from their privacy policy to Site B … would that inbound link carry enough weight in a way that could impact rankings? I’m asking if the work to get clients/partners do this help.

Content Marketing - Getting Webmaster to Link to Article
Hello, We're doing a niche article and we want to do a link building campaign around it. I'm not as interested in being linked to in resource sections - that will happen - but my question is for other links. What types of links am I looking for, is it guest posts - is that the best? If so, how do convince them to allow a guest post around an article? Thanks.

How much important is the connection between content and backlink relevancy?
My question is about the connection between web page content and backlink relevancy, how much it is important? Let’s have an example: If I publish a guest post about “cell phone model review” and get a link back to my website which is on the subject of “cell phone monitoring”. Now my question is: Is this a relevant and good quality backlink? As content is about “cell phone Model Review” while the backlink is about “cell phone Monitoring”, How Google would take this as if; 1- Anchor text is “cell phone monitoring” 2- Anchor text is URL based

Challenge: How to SEO a site with almost no content
Wondering what you all would recommend for SEO on this site: www.gudville.com Most of their content is behind a login. Basically there are 5 pages open to Google and to anyone without that login, and they are not open to doing it differently at this time. Once in, there will be a lot of sharing with Facebook friends that will include invitations to join them in their causes. Love to hear all your recommendations. Kathy

When placing content on external sites, what are some best practices for back links?
Hi there, I am working on a content strategy that includes placing content (i.e. bylined articles, how-to's, guest blogs, etc.) on other web sites and embedding links back to our site. In some cases we're very limited to what we can do with our bank links (i.e. just a company url), and in other cases we are free to place multiple anchor links within the content. In cases where we have no limitations, what are some best practices for implementing back links? I understand it's important to link to deep pages (not just our home page), have diverse anchor text, and make the anchor links relevant to the surrounding content. Are there other things I should be thinking about in order to maximize the SEO value of such placements? For example, is it better to have just one anchor link per placement? Or should I aim to embed multiple anchor links within a single placement? Any advice would be much appreciated! Sincerely, Debra

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?
