Article Marketing and Duplicate Content

Having distributed a lot of articles I began to notice that google would only show a few links for each article. One reason behind this might be that every article is essential the same and it looks like duplicate content. To avoid this I considered and have tried out Jet Spinner which is an article rewriting system. I will just say it know that jet spinner is an excellent piece of software which makes the process of article generation easy and in the end it spins out 500 different versions of your article for distribution. If you use the paid service you can even have jet submitter send these article out to 640 article directories. Think about it - thats 640 unique articles to 640 different article sites. Quite a good program.

Several drawbacks occur with the use of Jet Spinner. First off it is quite time consuming to create an article that reads well and has enough variation in it that it would look unique to a search engine. Search engines use a process called “shingling” to find duplicate web pages. This technique is very effective and to write an article that would look unique requires that you put in a lot of variables so that almost every other word is different. This aside its still easier to write an article this way then to make 640 different unique articles. I used this process and submitted a number of articles - the results of this work show that it may pay off to use this process, but its difficult to say. In other words the results of this work aren’t significant enough that I can be sure of anything. If your curious what a “spun” article looks like here is an example:

The {Mountain|Intermountain|Rocky mountain} west {is made up of|is comprised of|consists of} the states {Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada and Utah.|Mo.,Id.,Wy.,Co.,Nv.,Ut.} Although {all of these|these} {states|places} are {known for|famous|well known for} for their {natural|grandiose|incredible|striking} beauty there are {a lot of|many|a large number of} aspects of this {area|region} that {most people|a lot of people|people} do not often {explore|tour|travel to} but are {definitely worthy of|certainly worthy of|warrant} {attention|a visit}.
