So I was talking with another reader who wanted to know if Article Submitter Pro would help him “spin” his articles. I asked him why he’d want it to do this. His response was because he thought if he could create ten different articles from one, then he had a chance of getting all ten of them into the top 10 search results for his key phrase.

My answer to him: No way Jose!

First of all, no article spinner could ever spin one article to make ten unique ones good enough to all make the top ten for a single key phrase.

In order to get past Google’s latent indexing, their new algorithm that checks not only for exact duplication but also for “latent” similarities (read: the same basic ideas), the article would have to be spun so hard that it would no longer have the same relevance.

The concept behind latent indexing is to allow the search engine to offer a variety of ideas and viewpoints for any given search query. So if you wanted to play this game, you’d have to provide much more than simple word manipulation.

In essence, your ten articles would either have to completely contradict each other, or approach the topic from an entirely different angle. Which means they’d each have to be a total different article.

On top of all that, if you did manage to spin your article heavy enough to get past latent indexing, then what would you achieve?

Well you’d either have people doing searches on your key phrase to find you contradicting yourself, which wouldn’t bode well for you in regard to presenting yourself as an expert.

Or you’d come off looking like an expert. An expert spammer that is.

The key to effective article marketing is to do it as “organically” as possible. Write a good, informative article and submit. Rinse and repeat.

No need for sneaky tricks if you’re good at what you do and know what you’re talking about. If you’re neither, then try another form of marketing other than article submission. It’ll go better for you in the long run.
