Article marketing is employed to build backlinks to your targeted sites. You create an article, fit diverse backlinks in it, and upload it on a blog or at an ezine.
To be resourceful you generate one article, and then re-spin it to construct multiple unique articles for use at various sorts of sites.
The content should always be original or Google will reduce the value of the links. There are a bunch of types of programs employed to re-spin articles. I've been working with Jetspinner.
Using Jetspinner is rather trouble free. The whole system is based totally on code using curly brackets and the the vertical bar.
You find the word or phrase you want to swap and place a the opening curly bracket in front of it to announce that the spinner has to go to work, you place a the vertical bar after the word or phrase, then you stick in the alternate you want to utilise, and close the code snippet with the the closing curly bracket. When you spin the article the program will choose one of the options between the curly brackets, which you've separated by the the vertical bar. You can place in as many alternate words or phrases as you want, as long as you separate each one with a the vertical bar.
Once you've coded the article Jetspinner will re-spin it, give you one randomly spun article, and allow you to create a zip file of 50, 100, or any other number of randomly spun articles. It is a huge time saver, and it's free.
The first thing you have to do is write the article. I generally start off right in Jetspinner, although I also build things in other text programs, including emails or notepad programs on my iPhone. This allows me to come up with articles and blog posts anywhere.
Once the article is writtenit's time to code it. Sometimes it's worth setting the article away for a period of time in order to clear your head. This allows you to find errors and unclear meaning more easily. Whether you do this or not the next job is the coding.
If it is a short article I just start deciding on words or phrases and putting in the first curly bracket and the vertical bar. Jetspinner offers an Ajax thesaurus that provides alternate words and phrases as soon as you enter the the vertical bar after the first curly bracket and the word you want options for. It can be a little tricky, so watch outwhen you choose the options and be certain that that they are going in where you want them to.
It is necessary that you save the re-spin code periodically. There are 2 reasons for this. First, since you're working on the web a misplaced finger can navigate you off the page, losing your work. Second, spinning periodically will tell you when you've made a code mistake. The error will stop the spinning, so if you have a 500 word article coded for spinning, bu t the spin is only 35 words long you'll discover that you've made a code error. You'll also recognize that the mistake is around the 35 word point. Once you've spun the article once it's saved, and you can just click the edit button to go back to editing it.
You can use Jetspinner coding in the title, which is a timesaver, especially when you're outsourcing the work to a non-native-English speaking country. In fact, an awful lot of these suggestions are valuable for outsourcing, if, for example, you jot down the original piece but outsource the re-spinning to a virtual assitant overseas.
You have got to watch over capitalization. Native English speakers know that we don't capitalize words or phrases unless they are the start of the sentence or the name of something that should be capitalized. Frequently, if the word you're switching isn't capitalized, don't capitalize the replacement. Jetspinner's thesaurus will generally give you both options, so watch out to either pick the correct one, or fix the alternate in the spin coded article. If you don't you'll have errors in your randomly spun articles which may mean more editing labor for you, and that means more time needlessly wasted.
There are two kinds of words and phrases that are easy targets for re-spinning. The 1st kind are words with lots of close synonyms. An example is the word "start". Jetspinner provides at least 16 alternatives (begin, commence, start off, start out, get started, launch, initiate, beginning, establish, get going, set up, kick off, develop, get started with, begin the process of and get started on). When you identify target words like this, especially ones that recur, you can save yourself time.
The second category of word (or phrase) is one peculiar to your topic. If you're writing about cars the "cars", "drivers" and "wheels" are likely to crop up throughout the piece. The fact they keep repeating make them targets. Pick your alternates once, and carefully. If you're writing about mortgages you can expect the word "lender" to repeat. Some of the options are loan provider, loan company, financial institution, bank, lending agency, loaner, mortgage lender, financier, loan service, broker, financial institution and finance company. Not all of them will be well suited. An assortment of the deficiencies won't be noticeable to a non-native English speaker. You can pick out the alternates once, and let your VA employ your informed choice.
After you've picked out alternatives for repetitive words or phrases a real time saver is to employ cutting and pasting with the recurring words and phrases. You have the option of actually cutting and pasting in Jetspinner, or, you can open a text editor like Notepad and use the "find and replace" tool.
Open Jetspinner in one window, and open Notepad in another. Copy and paste the entire article into Notepad. Return to Jetspinner and select the word or phrase you want to spin. Get your alternatives from the thesaurus. Highlight them, including the curly brackets on each end, and copy them. Switch to Notepad and select "Edit" and then "Replace". In the "Find what" box insert the target word or phrase and in the "Replace with" box, put in the code. Return to Jetspinner and move on to your next target word or phrase and repeat.
A range of times you need to make certain that your cut and pastes are alright - you often have to change them to plural (for example, if you substitute "lenders" with the alternates to "lender" you'll have to pluralize the alternates).
Think what you've accomplished: If you have a particular word or phrase with 13 variations occurring 10 times throughout the article you have absolutely increased the unique character of the article based on switching one word or phrase. Once you switch all the painless target words and phrases and the target words that are subject specific to your article you will have achieved a lot with simply keystrokes.
There is yet another trick for swapping phrases. You can quickly add an adjective, like "good", "great" or "real" in front of a noun. "Another trick" turns into "Another great trick", or "Another good trick".
There are other hints, but they are not as quick. Once you've plucked the low hanging fruit, so to speak, you can review the article and check if there are words and phrases that you want to completely turn around, shorten or lengthen or delete entirely. This requires a range of thought, and a good grasp of English, writing and style. Non-native English speakers may have a challenge with it. My VA will often use words from the thesaurus that aren't pertinent in a certain situation, which is not a surprise. When it comes to editing whole phrases it's not fair to expect him to be able to do it.
Here's an example:
"Begin by writing down your main ideas" can become "In my opinion it's really important to start by jotting down your main ideas on a scrap piece of paper before you even start to build your article". You can do that in Jetspinner by addting the the opening curly bracket in front of "Begin", the the vertical bar after "ideas" and before "In my opinion", and then a the closing curly bracket after "article".
You can also stick code inside of code. "Begin by writing down your main ideas/In my opinion it's really important to start by jotting down your main ideas on a scrap piece of paper before you even start to produce your article" can turn into "(Begin/Start/Start off by) by (writing down/jotting down/setting out) your (main/most important/key) (ideas/points/concepts)/(In my opinion/I think/In my experience/Experience tells me) it's (really important/important/best/critical/smart) to (start/begin/start off/start out) by jotting down your main ideas on a scrap piece of paper before you even start to
generate your article" (where the regular brackets signify the curly brackets and the "/" represents the the vertical bar)
Try these straightforward tips with Jetspinner and see if it operates easily for you. They function for me!
