Stop Spinning!

I have to begin this piece by admitting that I have no real basis in fact for what I am about to write. I don't work at the evil G therefore I do not write the rules for the rest to follow. In fact I spend more time on making things work for Yahoo or ~gulp~ (holding down the bile) BING then I do for them. I do believe however in common sense.

Articles can get over spun. They make no more sense and are often just posted for blank, unique, space filling, keyword place holders and that, is precisely the new target of Google. Auto blogging robo-sites are no longer welcome squatters at the top of the peoples search results. An algorithm, once identified and tested completely, is a simple thing to implement even if it is imperfect, singling out the wrong crowd. That is exactly what Google can do to you and I.

So stop spinning the same shit over and over. It is not necessary to blast, uncontrollably, any damn spew with a related keyword to your site! I went looking for a template that has not been used time and time again like some a tired old pair of shorts and came across more ads than information in the first ten sites in the search return. I don't own a TV because I dislike commercials. I don't mind people that do but I don't want to be pandered to every 8.56 minutes for precisely 4.87 minutes to complete each 30 minutes of programming. It's like, if the whole internet was a squeeze page. I would then pitch this pitiful machine out of the window. I won't buy anything from a squeeze page. I will go steal it instead.

Whew! I don't know where that came from but I feel better. Now, in my article spinner I have a ticker at the top that shows me what uniqueness my article has achieved with the synonym replacement ratio I have. What is a good number for this? I don't know but common sense says that 10% at least should be good and I have noticed that if I make it more than about 18%, I can no longer just push a button and make sure that the article still makes sense. So settle for 12%. I like that number. It is what I shoot for.

Now about the "Stop Spinning" statement. In my spinner, which I will keep to myself for now, I choose from a list of synonyms and make them available in each spin. If I choose 7 sysnonyms for one and 3 for another and 7 for another and change two words here and three there, I will get a unique article in the first rewrite. On the very first spin I get that 12% uniqueness. On the second I get the same and I probably do on the 7th. If I pull the handle of the spinner like a slot machine, I sometimes get the equivalent of an article written by a person for whom, English is a second language.

So Stop Spinning!
