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.
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. Lo and behold, I was directed to the same article on my own website! Not good! Being a newbie, it never crossed my mind that I was directing readers to the same article.
I am now a firm believer in rewriting your articles. Some call it “spinning”. I don’t. There is a difference. Spinning articles implies an automated regurgitation of an original article, either yours are someone else’s.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when rewriting articles.
- Do your rewriting right after you write the original. It is fresh in your memory and easier to come up with alternatives.
- Rewrite paragraph by paragraph.
- Use synonyms or rearrange the sentences.
- Do not limit your changes to just words, phrases, or sentences. Change a paragraph at a time.
- For best results, change all the paragraphs. Write at least two versions for each paragraph.
- With two or more versions and a quality rewriting tool, you can easily generate 10-20 new unique articles.
- 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.
- If you do choose to use “spinning software”, please make sure that it allows you complete control of the input and the output.
- Rewriting your articles and submitting them to different directories increase your search engine optimization.
- Always check your work with a good comparison tool and check for uniqueness, 75% or better is ideal.
In addition to improving your SEO, rewriting decreases your website bounce rate. Readers are less likely to leave your site if they are reading something different.
I only know of only one software tool that will give you complete control of the output and the input of your rewrite.
Read and watch the video onthis page and decide for yourself. I think you would agree that rewriting your articles for multiple submissions makes sense.
