Article Spinning, what it is and should you do it?

Do you know what article spinning is? Article spinning is defined as the process an article writer takes to change an article to develop more articles and more link backs. Keywords and phrases are generally changes that are made when you spin an article.

When an author does article spinning, they do it so they will have more original content online. The more original content you have online the more link backs you will have and the more likely people are to read your work and use it as content.

Some authors find it’s better to have one article submitted to the big article directories while others find it’s better to have a different article on each directory. This is something that I don’t quite understand, but feel it’s up to each person and how they feel about it and what’s right in their mind.

Some people find it difficult to write articles, so they look to ghostwriters and virtual assistants to help with this process. These business owners know how important it is to use article marketing, so they take care of their article writing problem by hiring ghostwriters or virtual assistants.

When people find it difficult to write, they sometimes lean toward article spinning. Another reason they go with this avenue is that it’s less expensive than having a ghostwriter write a brand new article. The reason for this is with a brand new article the person writing it may need to do research. When you spin an article, the information is already provided. All you do is move some topics around, change some words, and then you are ready to go.

The problem you have with article spinning is you don’t change a lot of the article and this could cause you legal problems. When someone takes the time to do research or pay someone to write the article, they feel it’s theirs and nobody should take it from them. This is how everyone feels whether it’s an article or website content. Changing an article is the way to go, but you need to change it by a large amount so the author doesn’t feel it’s not enough.

Some people feel that PLR articles are not good either. PLR articles are sold to more than one person. You don’t want to purchase a PLR article and submit it as is, because if you are not the first one to submit it, you could be hit with plagiarism. At the same time you don’t want to spin it because you could be hit the same way.

If you purchase a PLR article, you need to take the ideas in it, but rewrite them with your own thoughts and opinions. This is the best way to have an article written without coming up with your own ideas. PLR articles also give you a start with a series of articles. If you can come up with enough to say, you may be able to write one article for each idea in it.

My opinion is article spinning is not the way to go. It’s not worth the risk of being sued or having someone post all over the internet that you stole their article. It could ruin your business or career if this were to happen.
