So, in the last post here I kind of went off on free spinning tools, and people who don’t take time to correctly spin their articles.  It wasn’t meant as a bash or anything, it is really just a form of tough love.  Kinda like when dad would break out the belt.  Just kidding, my dad only hit me once with a belt.  (He usually used this old hickory stick.)

Ok, now that that’s out of the way, I’m going to take a very basic “article” and show you how to spin it into something that looks somewhat similar, less similar, or not similar at all, depending on which spin is ultimately posted.  When I’m posting spun articles, I do it automatically and just let the software choose what’s going to be posted because I really don’t have the desire nor the stamina to post 3000 articles.  For article spinning I use TheBestSpinner, and for posting I use Article Marketing Robot.  AMR is an excellent tool as well, and can spin articles as well, but I find the usability and the synonym database of TheBestSpinner to be far superior.  Then I can take the finished article and since AMR uses the same syntax, load it up in there for posting to directories.

Anyhow, let’s get started.  This will be our starting article:

“Pete Dimas is an Internet Marketer.  He also likes dogs, cars, and food.”

To me that is an exciting article and we could leave it just like that.  But, if you have 3k copies of the article all over the net, that’s not going to help a whole lot, Google is just going to flag them as dupes.  We need to change the article in number of words, number of sentences, and number of paragraphs.

Now, when spinning an article remember, the pipe is your friend.  I don’t mean the one you smoke that wacky tobacco from, but this —> |.  The pipe is the split vertical line on your keyboard usually located over the enter key, sometimes combined with the backslash.  When spinning, read the pipe as “or”.  You probably already know this, but I had to get my pipe joke in somehow.

So let’s start with our article and put a basic spin on it.  I normally like to spin every word in my article with at least one synonym.  For the sake of brevity, I’m only going to use one synonym on each word.  After running the article through the spinner we get something that looks a little like this:

Pete Dimas {is|happens to be} {an|a good} {internet marketer|on line marketer}. {He also|In addition, he} {likes|appreciates} {cars|automobiles}, {dogs|canines}, {and|as well as} {food|eating}.

As you can see: 1) Just the basic spin has given us 2 sentences with varying numbers of words because for some of the synonyms I chose 2 to 3 word phrases to replace one word.  I could even spin my name using variations of my initials, my first name, whatever, but for here I’ll just leave it the same.  And 2) The second sentence can be modified to be structurally different be alternating “He also” with “In addition, he”.

Now, for our next spin possibility, we will give 1) the option of the original two sentences, and 2) the option of a 3 sentence paragraph.  We start by taking the WHOLE shebang, and throwing it into one big “or” statement.

{Pete Dimas {is|happens to be} {an|a good} {internet marketer|on line marketer}. {He also|In addition, he} {likes|appreciates} {cars|automobiles}, {dogs|canines}, {and|as well as} {food|eating}.|Pete Dimas {is|happens to be} {an|a good} {internet marketer|on line marketer}. {He also|In addition, he} {likes|appreciates} {cars|automobiles}, {dogs|canines}, {and|as well as} {food|eating}.}

Notice the extra brackets at the very beginning and very end, and the pipe before the second Pete Dimas.  Now during the spin the software says “I’m either going to choose the first two sentences, or the second two sentences.”  Right now they are identical, but we’ll change that up a little and modify the second sentence in the second article to actually be 3 sentences.

I’m going to take the second iteration of He also likes cars, dogs, and food and change it into 3 sentences that say the same thing.  For instance: “His hobbies include cars and eating.  He loves dogs as well.”  I’m going to take that two sentence segment, run it through the spinner, and put it in the second spot where “He also likes” starts:

{Pete Dimas {is|happens to be} {an|a good} {internet marketer|on line marketer}. {He also|In addition, he} {likes|appreciates} {cars|automobiles}, {dogs|canines}, {and|as well as} {food|eating}.|Pete Dimas {is|happens to be} {an|a good} {internet marketer|on line marketer}. {His hobbies|His passions} {include|comprise of} {cars|hotrods} {and|and also} {eating|meal planning}.  {He loves|He takes great interest in} {dogs|bulldogs} {as well|too}.}

Now the spinner has a choice for this particular paragraph.  Use the original 2 sentence paragraph with synonyms of various amounts of words, or use the second paragraph which includes an extra sentence, and also additionally varies the amount of words.

Don’t get me wrong, this can take a while, but really you only need to do it for a paragraph or two in your article to totally throw off the number of words and sentences.  If you can break a single sentence into 3 separate sentences, so much the better.  You can even nest your spins (put spins inside of spins) to make things even more interesting and confusing.  Take a two sentence segment and make it into 4-5 sentences, or if the paragraph is just fluff, don’t include it at all in some spins, now that makes things that much more fun.

In the next installment, I will show you how to take a paragraph and turn it into multiple paragraphs (which you can probably already do yourself now), but it will give me something to blog about.
