Article Spinning Dos and Don’ts

I am a big fan of article marketing. I think it’s the most efficient way to build quality inbound links to your site. It works to drive traffic and increase conversions, especially if you are linking to an opt-in page, and I have seen article marketing increase blog traffic by 10 times in a matter of days.

But there is a dark side to article marketing, and it looks like this:

Just as the name sounds, actuating copywriting ‘persuades’ a clairvoyant to access your website, analysis out your artefact and feel a ‘need’ for it. It is the abstruse of axis accustomed visitors to your armpit into abiding customers.

That’s what happens when you let an automatic article “spinner” rewrite your text. I wish I could tell you where it came from, but the site was down before I even got the link in my daily Google alert. I’m hoping some human spotted it and killed it.

The idea behind spinning is to provide each directory with a unique article. Some directories required unique content, but most do not, and I’m not convinced unique articles are necessary for an effective article marketing campaign. And lets not forget, those directories that require unique content will never let a spun article through.

If you really want to post unique content though, spend 10 or 15 minutes and rewrite the articles manually. It will take you that long to program the spinner anyway, and by doing it yourself you’ll at least get something readable.
