Download the SEO WordSpinner Plugin and test this WordPress SEO plugin out.
Refresh this page to experience content spinning in action.
Why use a content spinner?
There are a lot of content spinners out there (I won’t even bother linking to them, most are for spamming, not for SEO). The existing products allow you mass-export articles then submit them across content networks to build links using spammy articles. That is not what this plugin does. This plugin allows you to enhance your site’s SEO by reducing duplicate content.
Google has been improving its handling of duplicate content by implementing use of the canonical tag and updating its algorithm. They don’t punish a site for duplicate content, but having unique content is still better than duplicate content.
Different content in different context
Each of those pages will show the full content or an excerpt (summary) of the content on this page. Each will show a title for this article. The SEO WordSpinner plugin allows you to mix things up so that on each page, users will see different content that means the same thing, therefore avoiding duplicate content issues if done properly.
Keeping spins predictable
The SEO WordSpinner plugin has an option to show the same content in the same context in a predictable manner. This is a setting in the plugin (“Make Spins Predictable by Default”). This means that when viewed on a separate tag, archive, search, or single page, the spun content will display the same way.
This global setting can also be modified on a per-post or per-page basis by adding the SEOSpinPredictable Custom Field to the post with a value of “true” or “false”. This allows you to change the settings on a per-post basis. This post has SEOSpinPredictable set as true, which is why refreshing changes the content.
Spin your META tags…All in One SEO Pack-Compatible
One of the neat features of this plugin is that there is a setting to have your title and meta tags spun. This allows you to vary the post title, the title tag, and the meta tags separately, allowing you to include variations in the most important parts of your page’s content.
Using the SEO WordSpinner Plugin
Using the following settings:
- Split Character: |
- Start Character(s): {{
- End Character(s): }}
An example content spin:
This is a {{an example|a demonstration|a demo|a test}} of the powers of content spinning
Could produce the following spun variations:
- This is an example of the powers of content spinning
- This is a demonstration of the powers of content spinning
- This is a demo of the powers of content spinning
- This is a test of the powers of content spinning
In order for search engines to not consider your content duplicate, you need to change your text more than the text above. The example above is for demonstration purposes only.
Would you like me to show you how this works?
Text used above: {{Do you want|Would you like}} {{me|us|a person}} to {{test|demonstrate|show you}} how this works?
It works for Links, too.

I will have to look into this as I can see how this could be very beneficial. Thank you for researching this for us.
Thanks for the Plugin. How is the load, when the PLugin parses a page?
Best,
Karl
The plugin runs as WordPress filters to the title and content of a page. It also applies filters used in the All in One SEO Pack plugin, if the meta option is enabled.
Seems that it doesn’t work in 2.9 -(. The created page is left blank. Deactivating the plugin shows the page…
Hi Thomas,
This blog is running 2.9, and another WP install I’ve tried the plugin on is using 2.8.6, and both are running ok.
Please tell me more about your setup.
A custom php spinner would be better. This one causes grammar errors, like in your example you have “an demonstration”, “an” should be “a” in this case. Changing just one word is hardly sufficient to fool Google etc.
Tim, I think you’re missing the point. Obviously changing one word is not going to fool Google. That’s not the point. This plugin — to be effective — takes time to craft various versions of an article (or at least the intro, to be used in the excerpt. A few changes here and there to the text will not make a big difference.
And yes, the grammar is inaccurate; I’d already updated the plugin’s readme file, but I see the grammar police’s jurisdiction knows no bounds…I’ll update this post.
Zack,
I am all about Spinning and I have used quite a few products. Kudos to you. I like your version.
I am curious though.
Will it work in comments as in <a href=’http://buddyshearer.com’>{{Buddy|Shearer|Buddy Shearer}}</a>
Now THAT would be COOL!
Too bad it did not work or maybe you are controlling that apsect of it here. Maybe it would work from tweaking the HTML from within here. I’ll let someone else test that.
Before I forget. To the commenter above that was talking about this not being good from a Google perspective. Tsk…Tsk…
Look at it from an on-site optimization standpoint. If you interlace your keywords right you can pick up more backlinks to inner pages and across other sites as well.
Don’t forget Go Codes and how it uses Affiliate links. Just use your imagination and Spinning really does makes sense SO LONG as you use it responsibly.
Later
Buddy
Hi Buddy,
If you want to add comment filtering, you can add this to your functions.php file:
add_filter('comment_text','get_seo_spin');I will be adding comment spin functionality to future versions of the plugin.
Your explanation of how to use this is about as clear as mud. Spinned I am sure. You are talking to yourself.
Actually, that’s just how I write…There’s plenty of information on content spinning if you Google it. That’s what this plugin does!
Interesting, I shall give it a try – at least for a while; don’t want to mess too much with my style even for a huge reward
Hi Zack,
I updated to 1.2 and the page isn’t blank any longer -). But it doesn’t change the text now. The sample page is http://www.tskey.de/2010/01/wordspinner-testseite/. I do have wp-cache enabled. Deleting the cache doesn’t help. It should show (eins,zwei,drei ) (Äpfel, Birnen, Pflaumen).
Hi Thomas,
The plugin has the setting “Make Spins Predictable By Default” enabled by default. That way, when Google visits your post at /2010/01/wordspinner-testseite/, it will show different content than on /2010/01/, and different content than on /search/test.
The goal is to show different content on different pages. If you want to change that behavior on a per-post basis, you can use the
SEOSpinPredictableCustom Field, and set it to eithertrueorfalse.Hope that helps clarify things.
Ok.. Strange.. if i install you pugin it hangs, if I install your plugin and the other wordspinner plugin at the same time, it worls.
Why is dat Katz
Hey Zack,
Love the plug-in and am wondering if you have an ETA for the ‘nested spinner’ feature?
“Nested Spin” – lol
cool thing! I”ll try this really soon
Zack, first I’d like to thank you for writing such a great plug in that’s been really needed for a long time.
I look forward to the nested spin capability.
I am noticing that RSS feeds are not being spun with random variations using SEO WordSpinner. Instead, the spinner always chooses the first option of every variation set to comprise the RSS text. This can lead to any repeated spun text on multiple posts appearing identical in the RSS feed.
Would it be possible to add functionality to have random spin variations appear in the RSS feeds as well as the blog posts themselves?
I’ll add that in the next version, coming soon.
Is it possible to add variations to the spins themselves i.e:
{{Like this|or this}|{Perhaps this|Or even this}}
Note: I’m using a single { rather than the default {{ in the above example.
This would be very useful for my current project!
Hi Chris, I’m working on it. It’s coming soon
I don’t understand. I uploaded the plugin and went to the settings page. There were some tick boxes and some instructions about the use of brackets and dividers, but what do you do next. Where do you enter the variations?
You need to have the variations in your post content. Just write something starting with the Start Characters, separated by the Split Character and ending with the End Characters.
Refer to the article above.
Fantastic – I was just about to start writing a plugin for this very same reason, and thank god I checked the plugin repository first! You saved me a boatload of time – many thanks!
Hi, very good plugin, thanks for this one !
Just to be sure I understand : if I want 20 spun posts with the same post, I have to :
1. write a “normal” post
2. use {{ | }} as much as I can into this post to replace the most words terms and expressions
3. paste the result 20 times in 20 new posts
Is that it ? Is there now way to automatically publish new posts and set-up the posts frequency, for instance 5 new spun posts a day ?
Hi – I am trying to find out if Google includes words in brackets in SEO?
E.g. I purchased an organge ball (basketball)
Would SEO pick up the word backetball or skip it?
Yeah, Google indexes all content on a website. SEO WordSpinner won’t spin content inside anything other than the Opening and Closing characters which you define in the settings.
