How I Learned to Love Article Spinning

  I can be hard-headed sometimes.  An internet marketing wizard who I know and trust recommended an article spinning product to me several weeks ago.  I ignored his advice because I felt that there was no way on Earth some software was going to re-write my article into hundreds of unique content articles that could be automatically submitted to various article directories resulting in massive traffic to my website.  Then someone else mentioned article spinning to me and I ignored it, and then again, and again.  Finally I took a short peek at a video someone put together showing the article spinning process to me.  I started to pay attention and the wheels in my head started spinning and soon enough I broke out a pen and a pad of paper and wrote down the title of the most widely viewed article I’d ever written:

I began to “spin” the title manually using the techniques that were described in the video.  I quickly came up with a decent number of unique variations right off the top of my head:

How to [Create, Develop, Produce] Write a [Fantastic, Amazing, Compelling, Good, Brilliant] Great [Opening, Main, First] Topic [Statement] Sentence

Further spins results in at least 18 different titles.  As I started to read the new titles I realized that each variation might be more appealing to different markets.  For example “How to Write a Great Topic Sentence” is very appealing to college freshmen who are learning how to write essays.  “How to Develop a Compelling Opening Statement” might be more appealing to 1st year law students.  “How to Create a Fantastic First Sentence” might appeal to article writers in general.

This simple manual technique can be applied to the body of the article as well.  Depending on the length of the article it might take forever.  But if it resulted in hundreds of unique articles it might be worth it, eh?  But what if the article spinning software being promoted in the video could actually spin the body of the article resulting in a multitude of unique and coherent articles as advertised.

So I went back to the video and paid close attention.  “I’ve gotta try this,” I thought to myself.  I signed up for the free version online and pretty soon I was knuckle deep in spinning my article.

Note: WCN places a lot of emphasis on article marketing as a means of getting FREE traffic.  As a result I have developed a keen interest in the concept of article spinning as a way of generating content for submission to article directories.  What are your thoughts on article spinning and/or article marketing in general?
