Do i have to rewrite every word on every sentence? What is enough? Two ? three words on sentence or more?
 
Its not about words. It is all about restructuring sentences, so that your articles look unique.
 
VB green got it right on. Replacing words is not enough, google doesn't read your text per se, the algo detects the way sentances are structured. If you just spin words you'll get caught.
 
Is there any software that can change the sentence structure ?
 
The best thing to do is to spin the article then change the structure. This myth about rewriting articles 30% unique is just that a myth. Google can easily see if you are just replacing synonyms and changing words..

Here is an pretty primitive example of this.. imagine you have rewritten an article and just replaced words in it like most spinners do.. you think google is gonna see it as unique content.. even if its 90% unique or even 100%. They are not. Take the original article and then get a piece of tracing paper and overlay it with the spun article.. looks exactly the same and this is what google can see and the reason why so many articles will not get indexed.

The best thing to do is not not just spin them but change the entire structure and length of the sentences and throw in a few images for good measure and while on the subject of spinning articles here is another reason google will not index your articles.

if you spin your articles and leave your anchor text the same and in exactly the same place you might as well put a sign on yuor head for google saying, its me again. Spin your anchor text and move its position in the articles too.
 
Talking about myths, your whole post is one myth, do you have any proof to back this up, because i have blogs with content only using synonyms and are outranking the original content.

Sorry to say but everything you state here is not true, there is no such thing as a dup content penalty (only if you have it on the same domain) and if you alter the content even if it is just the words your blog/site/page will do fine.

You guys need to quit giving Google powers that they don't have, (its Google not God) there is no way to check all the content for dup or reconstructed content at the passe that Google is indexing websites. It could be done buit the cost would be very high and the last time i checked Google is a business with shareholders in a though business, they will not put up all that money for staff and the massive servers that is required to do those checks.

you are so wrong i'm not even bother going to argue with you. Go and carry on your own deluded way and carry on what you are doing.
 
Rewriting is basically paraphrasing with the intent of coming out with a rewritten article that is 85% unique and must pass CopyScape. But going to the original question, the going rate for rewrites is 50% - 80% of rates for original content.
 
I guess the best way is to restructure and then spin the article so you can get more articles from that original one.
 
The best thing to do is go at it paragraph by paragraph. try restructuring the sentences and and use synonyms also. try adding few sentences that supports the paragraph too.
 
my suggestion (read somewhere on the forum ), get naturally dragon speaking or something and as you read, dictate. there's a torrent also, google it

I think I will have to agree with harry, it looks like the dup content is a myth. I have a blog filled with dup content and it's doing well in terms of SEO. So, I think there's no such thing as duplicate content penalty. Well at least to me personally.

But, it will definitely help your site if you can rewrite it just to be in the safe side. Here's what I do for a site that I want to rank fast. 1. rewrite in paragraph level, 2. rewrite in sentences level, 3. rewrite in words level. It will make it above 80% unique. And for backlinking purpose, I don't care about it's readability but don't submit it to article directories because of human reviewer. Hope that's help

I've found a "duplicate content penalty" to be 1. Similar content on different pages of your site, 2. similar content on different websites that are hosted with same IP address and 3. Similar content for the same keywords as another site.

Don't know if this is a "penalty" so to speak or the duplicate information is just "filtered out"... but either way those 3 things seem to spell trouble.
 
Offsite dupe content isnt exactly a myth, but its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

Unique content is easier to rank, but if your ripping your content off some noob who doesnt know how to do SEO and then outrank their content your not the one who has to worry about it.

Unique content when building blackhat backlinks is to stop google identfying your backlinks across numerous sites as being spam from the same person. Thats why it doesnt have to be 100% unique, only unique enough.
