Improved explanations of features

We’ve been losing no time lately — today we’ve rolled out another update that significantly improves the user-experience of Spin Rewriter users.

Spin Rewriter is (in itself) an advanced natural language processing tool, and as such its underlying technology contains a staggering amount of complexity. And it’s always been our job to make Spin Rewriter not just extremely powerful, but also just as easy-to-understand and easy-to-use.

Our users are telling us that we’re doing a good job with that, and that they vastly prefer using Spin Rewriter to other competing article spinners… but we believe we can always do better. πŸ˜€

So we took on the gargantuan task of combing through every last piece of text inside the user interface (that you see after logging into your Spin Rewriter account), and rewording those texts wherever necessary.

We spent countless hours contemplating various options to describe features, to tell you what each button is going to do, and to make sure you always feel 100% in control of the software.

I believe we’ve done a good job! πŸ˜€ Go check it out for yourself…

Updated WordPress Plugin

Did someone say “lazy January”? Well, not for us… that’s for sure! πŸ˜€

We’ve just rolled out an update to the official Spin Rewriter WordPress Plugin… you know, the one that lets you:

  • automatically spin & republish old posts
  • automatically fetch new unique posts
  • spin your posts right inside your WordPress admin panel
  • connect your websites for 1-click remote posting from Spin Rewriter

The updated version of the plugin comes with improved functionality, a more robust process of re-publishing old posts, a minor bugix, and ensured full compatibility with Spin Rewriter 9.0.

You can grab the new version of the plugin in 2 ways:

  1. You can download it as a ZIP file from the WordPress page inside your Spin Rewriter account, OR…
  2. You can also simply go to the “Plugins” page inside your WordPress admin panel and then click the blue “Check for updates” link next to the Spin Rewriter plugin.

Either way you’ll be up and running (with the newest version) in no time. πŸ˜‰

Another manual update of our synonyms database

Even though Spin Rewriter is armed to the teeth with the latest-and-greatest from the cutting-edge arsenal of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence weapons, nothing beats a good ol’ manual review from time to time.

With this in mind we’ve been hard at work over the past 3 weeks, pouring more than 360 man-hours into a manual review of the commonly used synonyms in our database.

This is no small challenge, though. The reason Spin Rewriter performs magically well and comes up with an incredible list of synonyms in 99% of the cases lies in its underlying complexity. And this complexity makes any kind of manual tinkering a challenging process. But it’s still well worth it from time to time.

Bottom line, we’re sure you’ll notice a further improvement in the quality of your spun content — and I’m sure you’re going to love that! πŸ˜€

Last algorithm update for 2015

Christmas is now so close we can almost smell the eggnog and theΒ mistletoe and mulled wine… and presents! Let’s not forget about the presents! πŸ˜€

Speaking of which,Β as our final present for 2015 we’ve just rolled out yet another spinning algorithm update for Spin Rewriter 6.0 earlier this morning. Lately we’ve noticed that some words were sometimes being duplicated once they’ve made their way through the whole process of synonym selection.

Our engineers rolled up their sleeves and went to work immediately — and I’m super happy to say we’ve now squashed that tiny little bug, and made Spin Rewriter even better!

And here’s just a tiny screenshot of what our bug-hunting adventure looked like this time around:

No more mishaps with repeated words!

It was quite a bit of fun fixing these minor mishaps! πŸ˜‰

Happy Holidays,

Article Spinning: The Future

I’ve probably come across the question of “the future of article spinning” at least a 1,000 times. I see it in Spin Rewriter’s support emails. I see it on many forums as well. And, I was discussing it with some of the top internet marketers on the Online Underground Seminar in Washington.

What do I think about it? Since I have been in the very narrow business of article spinning for almost 3 years now, I have some predictions. But before we discuss the future, let’s take a look at the past.

How Was Article Spinning First “Invented”?

Article spinning was born because of the content needs of online marketers. At that time (before all the important Google updates), quantity was king. If you were able to produce more content than your competitor, you had nothing to worry about. And because of the well-known Google “duplicate content” filters, your content needed to look unique.

This wasn’t hard at all β€” you simply replaced some words with synonyms and you were done. When the first auto spinners came on the market, their job was not to produce high quality content. Vice versa β€” they had to produce A LOT of content that looked unique to the mighty Google’s eyes. At that time, Google didn’t really have any “quality content” filters, so as long as your content was “unique”, that was good enough for them … and in turn, for you!

Google Algorithm Changes

Eventually, Google started recognizing such content (it wasn’t that hard at all, since there were many versions of these articles available online) and started marking it as “duplicate content”. So, internet marketers had to begin spinning content on different levels β€” they moved from word-level spinning to sentence-level and paragraph-level spinning. At that point, Google once again wasn’t able to recognize this type of spun content as duplicate anymore (i.e. this content looked unique to them), but their algorithms developed in a way that Google was now able to recognize it as low quality content.

Simply said, Google considered well spun content unique, but Google also knew that that content is of low quality β€” largely, this content was completely unreadable. And so, this content lost a lot of value which certainly wasn’t the best news for internet marketers.

Spin Rewriter – The Game Changer

Then … there came Spin Rewriter. I created it with the intention of helping internet marketers all across the globe get more content. And I knew that the content doesn’t only need to be unique β€” it has to be of high quality as well! My only realistic option was to make an algorithm that is able to understand the meaning of every word and then only use the most appropriate synonyms for each word. However, word-level spinning was (of course) not quite enough β€” we needed to spin articles on the sentence and paragraph level as well. And, in the most recent version of Spin Rewriter, we also added the ground-breaking options for sentence manipulation, a special option that changes the entire structure of sentences.

And the future?

So, now that we can see a rough sketch of the past, the future probably looks extremely clear. What can we expect?

There is a pretty obvious trend that moves webmaster’s work from quantity to quality. One quality backlink is worth more than 100 low quality ones. So, it’s better to spend your money (and time) on quality links.

In the future, high quality content will outrank low quality content. Even more, low quality content will slowly and surely lose all of its value. So, article spinners that produce low quality content will become (even more) useless.

So, articles spinners need to adjust. I can confidently say that Spin Rewriter is already producing the highest quality content among all article spinners currently available. And we are constantly working to make it even better!

In the future, we will most likely start to generate less articles from one original article β€” because we will need to make sure the generated articles are of the highest quality on the one hand, and we’ll also need to make sure the generated articles are as different from each other and from the original article as possible on the other hand! To accomplish this, we will also need to find some other β€” completely new! β€” levels of spinning as well. I already have a coupe of really powerful approaches in my head … just wait until you see the next version of Spin Rewriter. πŸ˜‰

Will Google Stop With The Updates?

Of course not! Google knows that their search results could be better and they need to constantly tweak their algorithm to improve them. And we appreciate that, because we HATE spammers. So, our goal is to produce spun content that genuinely adds value. Spun content that is well readable and delivers a clear message to the end user. Because of this, we are happy (!) to watch all the new algorithm updates as they roll in!

A Short Conclusion…

So, article spinning is going to help webmasters in the future as well. Quality will finally beat quantity and, in order to keep up with future Google’s algorithm changes, spinning tools will need to deliver high quality, well readable and highly unique content that actually delivers value to its readers, i.e. internet users.

I am happy to say that there is a piece of great news here β€” Spin Rewriter meets Google standards now, and it’s going to meet them in the future as well. You have my word on that.

And, as always β€” if you have any suggestions on how to further improve Spin Rewriter, please send an email to my support department. We take all your ideas very seriously. πŸ˜‰

 

5 Most Popular Article Spinning MYTHS

Two weeks ago, I was doing a webinar for Chris Munch’s subscribers. It was an interesting experience β€” it turned out that 50% of all webinar participants were already using Spin Rewriter. They asked me many questions about article spinning, about my spinning methods and β€” of course β€” my future plans for Spin Rewriter.

Some questions were especially interesting β€” mostly because I mistakenly believed that people already knew the answers. It turned out that this was not the case, at all. These questions were referring to some of the well known “article spinning myths”, which I β€” again, mistakenly! β€” thought were no longer discussed. I would like to present these 5 most popular article spinning myths to you as well.
