Internet Marketing Training And SEO

You have probably encountered this while searching blogs for information, blogs which have content that mysteriously sounds just like or very similar to other content you have read somewhere else. This is called “spinning” or “article spinning” and is essentially a webblog owner stealing another blog’s content and copying it onto their own webpage.

Or, in an effort to seem less of a plagiarist, the owner replaces certain words in the article (using a synonym finder or automatic article rewriter) but leaves the gist of the article alone. They also do this in order to pass something called “Copyscape“, which is a program designed to test articles for plagiarism. Spinning is almost always detectable because the articles does not make much sense and contains strangely worded sentences, improper word placement and sometimes little or no punctuation. Using content spinning is considered blackhat by Google and also makes your blog look foolish and substandard.
