Everyone on the Internet says 'write unique and original content' for your blog if you want to rank. But when you write something yourself or even when you buy articles, all you do is a plagiarism check. And if plagiarism check passes, you assume it to be unique and original content and post it on your website.

So, what is wrong with spun/rewritten content (and proofread) if you can make it UNIQUE and it passes plagiarism? I'm not talking about taking one article and spinning it. But how about taking bits and pieces from several articles, combining into one article then spin it, proof read it and making sure it's plagiarism free. Does this work? If not, why not?

If you've taken content from different sources, spun it, proofread it to make sure it's readable and it also passes plagiarism, I don't think any human would be able to tell that it's spun content. And Google won't know either unless it checks for paraphrasing against those exact paragraphs you used to spin.

I want your thoughts!

Google does not like such content. They will punish the website for this.
 
There's nothing wrong with spun content unless you just spin/paste it.

If you add a personal touch to it, proofread it, correct it, and edit it to make it unique, then it's just fine.

Usually spun content lacks the "human" part. Same as with the AI-generated content, of course, unless properly edited by someone with experience.

And it totally depends on the spinner you're using.

In principle is still wrong to copy/paste someone else's work just to spin it for your blog. That's pretty much theft.
 
There is nothing wrong with paraphrasing/rewriting articles. I do it often.

It's just that 95% of people lack the patience or discipline to actually redo 100-200 articles to actually see any benefits.

But how will Google know if someone does it properly (completely readable article with no plagiarism)?

Yes, that was my point. As long as your final draft is plagiarism-free and high quality readable, at least a human won't be able to tell if it's spun or not.

And you haven't been caught or penalized by Google?

You miss the point entirely.

When you paraphrase/rewrite something, it will be different than the original. In this case, how would Google catch you?

What do you think 80% of the blogs out there do anyway? Come up with their own ideas?

If you rewrite it, it will be original in terms of words.
Not even google has the capability to cache the entire web so it can go through words one by one.

They might have some token values, sure.
But when you rewrite, it's impossible you'll hit the same numbers.

As long as you make it readable and unique, and mix it up you will be 100% fine. It is not really spun anymore, it has been fixed up. Make sure it addresses the search query and you will be fine.
 
A large amount of marketers just rewrite content until the content is unique. Spinning & rewriting until it sounds right takes just as long as paraphrasing does. If you don't care how it reads/want to do minimal edits & working to see how well a spam/spun site works, then spinning is obviously the way to go.

On top of that, spun content as backlink content has performed well in the past. Though, it's my personal opinion that if you treat your backlink content almost as well as your money site content, they'll perform better.

Spun content, depending on the spinner software, comes out reading like garbage & is low quality in the eyes of Google/Bing.

Quality, readable, unique content is easier to rank than spun content, generally.

I think it's possible. But this is not the only thing to rank that content even if you are using low comp keywords. Google will take charge to analyze deeply with its protocol. If all the spun content can be read by the human, then it's not a big issue. Because Google ranks the pages only if it is useful for the viewers.
 
It should also be readable and sounds interesting to read. This is lacking in spun articles.
 
Articles can be rewritten by applying spinning/rewriting which refer to the process of changing the structure of content without affecting its context. The article spinning can be executed manually, When it comes to rewriting articles, spinning of words, Synonyms - you will have to use synonyms wherever possible and altering sentence formation to generate a fresh piece of content with similar information but they must not change the context of the sentence.
 
if it is spun content means, google will punish them and the site will place on spammy.
 
just a quick observation -- news websites frequently publish what are essentially paraphrased versions of each others articles. Which is basically just very good spinning.

So it's clear that there's at least some "spun" content that ranks in google just fine. It probably just depends on the quality level of the spun content, and other on-page and off-page SEO factors.
 
It's okay if you make it looks like original content and readable. Some spinned contents can be found easily and that's not advisable
 
What's wrong is :

They aren't optimized so they won't rank.
They don't make any sense so even when they rank after optimization, user engagement won't be there.
Instead bounce rate will increase.

You don't necessarily need HQ grammar content.
But, it should be readable for an avg person, relevant to the topic & optimized.

Yes, we can find such success stories in journey section.
 
Ultimately, it has to serve the visitor
That's the point. Not whether Google likes it or not

That's the whole discussion in this thread. How will Google know? And majority is of the opinion that it cannot know if the content has been proofread and makes sense to read.

Yep, this is one aspect to consider - optimization. I can proofread the content and make it perfectly readable but due to the synonyms being used, it won't be optimized for SEO. Good point.
