spin your content and use it for links first.



Please don't. Same content from multiple domain names pointing back to the original is against Google ToS, and you might lose your PageRank unless you're Jason Calacanis in which case it's fine.


Believe me, I won't, but note that the "same content from multiple domains" problem is precisely what spinning sets out to solve. It's not the same content, certainly not at a superficial level.

Would you provide the relevant ToS for that claim please?


It's from the 'Google Webmaster Guidelines', located here:

http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answe...

"Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content."


substantially isn't really defined. and if you submit them to article directories and the like... whose responsibility is it?

Oh yeah, don't point to the original article, build it to your landers :)


If you own the article directories yourself, you're making additional domains. If you don't, that's fine, as I understand it.


It would be a pain in the ass to make a bunch of well ranked article directories just to spin your content for 1 product. I have to assume just submitting it to other people's sites.
