Spinning is something that you do to an article to create multiple versions that are seen as unique in the search engines. This search optimization method can range from totally black hat to white hat.

How true is article spinning considered as Black Hat?

I've done spinning before, and I wasn't penalized for it at all, even when I spun the same article without modifying it.

To think that real people are fooled by it is stupid.
AND you would need to speak good English to know when it has become gibberish.

It's another example of the attitude that search engines are more important than the people who use search tools.

but that's what seo is all about, to get high rankings and one of the methods is to spin your articles and submit to article directories, related blogs and so on. However, in saying that, there are some real rubbish tools out there that spin them for you. The automatic ones DO NOT work as some say they do. The spun articles come out all (as it was said before), gibberish. What I do if I need it done is basically rewrite it manually so they make sense and have proper grammar etc.

No it isn't

SEO is actually about improving the performance of the pages in converting the traffic.

I'm not sure if it is black hat, but I would call it sewage hat... What is the point of spinning an article. If it is a good article, why would you want to spin it? If you're not spinning it for the human readers, why are you doing it?
FYI: most of the "spun" articles I have seen are gobbledy-gook, though the original probably wasn't much better anyway...

Article spinning is not come in Black Hat.
Because it works by rewriting existing articles, or parts of articles, and replacing elements to provide a slightly different perspective on the topic. Many article marketers believe that article spinning helps avoid the feared penalties in the SERP for using duplicate content.

I think article spinning is not a black hat because it is legal and useful tools. black hat is a technique that is used to get higher search rankings in an unethical manner and I think article spinning is ethical.

Article spinning surely is a black hat technique, but in order to go and present a unique content to the search engine with in a quick time. Surely is the best way to go for.....

high rankings ? no! Some site disallow baidu spider and get good traffic, now its alexa rank is 13.

Don't use automated softwares, or the simple google translate . What I do is , I read around 3-4 articles on the same topic, and add them together, then start their editing by changing forms of the verbs, deleting, putting synonyms etc. and I always get positive results.

article spinning will make your thing become low quality, it properly use for linkwheel.

**orangecopper** · 01:02 PM

In my opinion Article spinning is not a black hat method. Spinning could be used for article submission and gaining the link backs. main advantage is that we just could save more time. the ground rule ideally should be - dont spin other's article, spin your own

Nope and there are far better ways of getting traffic than being "at the top"

i don't think that article spinning is considered as a black hat SEO. You just have to make sure that you won't copy any statement written by the original author.
