Spin or Rewrite Articles 10 Tips to Do it Properly

With all the hype over Panda and having ‘unique content’, who better to give advice on getting the most leverage from your content while maintaining quality than master spinner Carlos Perez?

We asked Carlos to do a guest post on the best way to spin and rewrite articles – here’s what he came up with ……

Rewriting articles is one smart way to re-package your articles, to rewrite PLRs, and to post fresh content on blogs and forums. Rewrite articles to create free reports for your readers.

There’s is nothing more frustrating than reading an article you found interesting and then following the link where you expect to find more interesting material only to find the same article when you get to the new site. It happens for one of two reasons.

One, the author is lazy and doesn’t really care. Or, two, the author doesn’t know any better. You can avoid the problem in your own writing by directing your reader to a different page or post on your site, or by rewriting the article. This article gives some tips on how to rewrite articles.

I am as guilty as anyone. It first happened to me on my own site. I found an old article of mine on the internet and followed the link to test it. Was I surprised to find that I was directed to the same article on my own website! Not good! Has this ever happened to you?

At the time, it never crossed my mind that I was directing readers to the same article. I am now a firm believer in rewriting articles. Rewriting articles is just that, rewriting your articles.

I emphasize rewriting because to be of any value the rewritten article must have human oversight and that implies quality content that is not gibberish.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when rewriting articles.

1. Do your rewriting right after you write the article. It is fresh in your memory and easier to come up with alternatives.
2. Rewrite paragraph by paragraph, or sentence by sentence.
3. Use synonyms or rearrange the sentences.
4. Take advantage of unused keywords. Use them in your rewritten article.
5. Do not limit your changes to just words or phrases. Change a paragraph or a sentence at a time.
6. For best results, change all the paragraphs. Write at least two versions for each paragraph, more is better.
7. With two or more versions of each paragraph you can easily generate many new unique articles.
8. Do NOT use article “spinning software” that randomly replaces words with synonyms or that uses a thesaurus. It is a waste of your time and money and it defeats your purpose. Most often it will result in gibberish.
9. Rewriting your articles and submitting them to different directories increases your search engine optimization (SEO), but more importantly it increases your chances of syndication.
10. Always check your work with a good comparison tool and check for uniqueness, 75% or better is ideal.

Remember, your intent is to give a reader a unique article to read with quality content. It may cover the same subject matter but it is different. The reader will be less likely to leave your site, if he/she is happens to visit the same article on your site and is not reading the same words.

As mentioned in # 8 above, I cannot over emphasize that you stay away from automated spinners that randomly replace words with synonyms or that attempt to randomly generate paragraphs from two or more articles.

The result is gibberish and does nothing for your reputation or that of other reputable article marketers.  If you do decide to use an auto-assisted spinner, make sure you have complete control of both the input and the output. There are human controlled automated spinners that do work. To find out the best ones visit http://articlespinning.newbie-info.com

I think you would agree that rewriting your original articles for multiple submissions makes sense.
