What is Article Spinning? Article spinning is one of the latest ways for blog owners to attempt to fool Google and other Search Engines. Blog owners using Wordpress download a Rss feed plugin and also an article re-writing plugin. The RSS feed plugin feeds the blog with articles from web sites, blogs or Search_engines that offer a RSS news feed.

The re-writing plugin automatically changes the content of each article word for word. For example, the word "picture" could be replaced by the word "image" or "photo". Thousands of word for word combinations are stored in either a text file or a database to draw from.

The end result is a large percentage of words are different to the original article fed from the original blog, web site or Search Engine news feed.

Why Article Spinning? Google penalizes any web site that has duplicated content on it. It is a form of Plagiarism. The higher percentage of duplication, the higher Google sets the penalties. Other more formal agencies have different types of penalties as well. For example, see the following:

Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act ("OCILLA") Digital Millennium Copyright Act
