I'm not going to get into the shaky definitions that people try to apply to "blackhat" but myself, I spin the content before submitting to multiple sites. On the other hand in the article submission forum I am a member of, people say all the time they don't even bother spinning and have great results. As far as "risk" involved I would have to say none.
Wasting your time and effort to post the same content on many sites.
You should spin the article atlest 30% unique. There are a lot free tool to do it, just 10-20 seconds you get the new version of the content.
Try to build theme keyword to build your relative niche site.
Hey, I'm trying to take a relatively safe route. If I post identical content on multiple web 2.0's and link them to my site, would this be considered black hat? Or in anyway risk my main site?
recommend a good free one? I know 'the best spinner' is one of the best ones but thats like 150
