I've merged your thread into the Article Spinninng thread. Go back and read the thread from the start. It should answer your question.

I never use article spinner, but i'll try it.

Let us know how it works for you.

Spinning an Article will obviously not work in the long run. It is better to re-write the content or better yet write fresh content rather than using any short cuts. The Google algorithm keeps changing itself and adding new layers which can expose duplicate articles. The originality and freshness of the article will always win the war. Article spinning software are dime a dozen - I have also seen link farming and SEO flashes software but they all eventually fade away and are not paths to long term success

I have yet to see a spun article that doesn't look like it was written by a robot (oh wait...it was! ) I've tried a few spinners, and it actually took me longer to fix all of the grammar/writing mistakes that it would take to rewrite the entire article myself. Readers can tell if you're taking shortcuts (like spinners), and they will simply go to a site that doesn't do it.

Want more? Here's an article I wrote (without a spinner!!) that addresses this very subject:
Article Spinners - 4 Reasons You Shouldn't Use Them

Thanks for the information.

The confusing thing are the variety of spinners out there. There seems to be a new one everyday claiming to be the top of it's kind.

But I guess essentially they all do the same job I can't really find a difference between them personally I use jetspinner because they have jet submitter as well.

Excuse me?

Duplicate content will never rank (period).

(by duplicate I mean copy/paste of course, not re-written stuff by whatever means)

I am sorry but many of us Article Marketers have done just that .... Some of us have dominated the front page with the same exact article...

I agree with you, James. I've seen it myself. There are, in fact, over 100 factors in the Google Algorithm, maybe even more now.

It isn't so much a myth, but a misconception concerning the duplicate content filter. As I understand it, as duplicate content is identified, the pages go supplemental or are de-indexed. Duplicate content can also cause a decrease in the crawl rate which also rsults in less pages crawled and indexed.

As always it isn't black and white. I think that it's best to avoid duplicate content as much as possible. But sure there's plenty of duplicate content out there. I guessing that it depends on the authority and pr of the site. Press releases seem to do fine with the duplicate content.

Yeah, but you should add that the URL, description, title text, formatting etc. comes into play since exactly equal content has to be ranked differently.
