Spin Rewriter Review [Version 11]: Is It the Best Article Spinner Software?​

What Is Spin Rewriter?

Spin Rewriter is a web-based article spinning software developed by Aaron Sustar and his team years ago (September 2011).

As a spinning tool, its purpose is to take an original article, “spin it,” and create a unique version.

Spin Rewriter prevents Google from flagging its output as duplicate content. High-quality content is the goal of all spin rewriting tools.

Spin Rewriter can spin articles (content) and keep a good level of readability because it can spin articles on the sentence and paragraph level.

It does all this while remaining clear enough to read because Spin Rewriter uses Emulated Natural Language (ENL) technology.

This tech gives SR an edge with synonym selection, making the end result quality website content; it can even change the tense of certain sentence parts! We’ll cover their advanced spinning in the tutorial video below.

What Does Spun Content Look Like?

Explaining content spinning can be a little technical, but a good place to start is how article spinners work. Original articles that get put into Spin Rewriter tool, or similar tools, get converted into a spintax form. Here’s an example of what that looks like:

Spintax Format: {Hello!|Hi!|Howdy!} {How’s it going?|How’s your day?|How are you?}

In a basic sense, spinners take original content, finds alternative words and/or synonyms from their synonym database to use instead of the original words used, and converts the content into a spintax format, as seen above.

Once this format, you’ll notice that the squiggly brackets house the word variations separated by a vertical bar (“|”).

Most website platforms can read and convert spintax content into normal content when it goes live. If you were to put spintax formatted content in a CMS platform like WordPress and publish the above, it would produce one of the following Spun Content Variations:

1. Hello How’s it going?
2.  Hi! How’s your day?
3. Howdy! How are you?

You’ll see this in more detail as we go through the tutorials coming up. Now following completely? No worries, you’ll see exactly what Spin Rewriter is doing by the end of this post (if not, do yourself a favor and watch the video coming up and if you have questions, leave them in the comments below).

Spin Rewriter Tutorial Overview

The above image is the Spin Rewriter dashboard (as you can see, I’m a member and have access to the Gold Membership area as well – more on this in the upcoming pricing section).

For this tutorial, we’ll focus on the Rewrite a Single Article feature as this is the most commonly used feature of the tool features.

Quick Question: Would you rather watch a demo of this product instead of reading about it?

A lot of people review Spin Rewriter, but few make good video reviews about it. So here’s my best shot at it below!

Starting With A Seed Article

You’ll most likely have an original article when you start using Spin Rewriter. If so, you’d just copy it in the text field below:

Note: The following section of “fetching an article” is optional, and you can skip it if you already have content ready for spinning. The only reason I’m showing it is for demonstration purposes.

If you don’t have seed articles (which is the case for this demo), you can have Spin Rewriter fetch you one.

I’ll do this by clicking on the Fetch a New Article link and then type in a seed keyword. For this example, I chose marketing.

This gives me a lot of articles to choose from (keep in mind that I get a lot of articles because I’m a Spin Rewriter Gold Member (this is the upsell).

I chose a piece about email marketing titled The Significance and Benefits of Email Marketing. Spin Rewriter then populates the text box, and we’re ready to go.

Now that I have an article for demonstration purposes let’s resume the spinning process tutorial.

How to Use Spin Rewriter

Spinning content with Spin Rewriter is easy, but there are some settings that I recommend paying attention to so you can get quality articles. Let’s start.

Step 1: Configure Settings

Step 1.A: Get Familiar with the Settings Tab

Recall that spinning software aims to convert an original piece of content and get it as unique as possible. The advanced options above will improve the uniqueness of the final spun article but can also make it less readable:

• Automatically rewrite complete sentences
• Automatically rewrite entire paragraphs
• Automatically write additional paragraphs and summaries
• Automatically change the entire structure of phrases and sentences

It’s important to be aware of these on and off toggles as when you get your final product – you’ll notice if it’s less readable but higher in uniqueness.

Spin Rewriter will give you a uniqueness score percentage in the third step where you can re-configure these advanced options – Spin Rewriter will then spin the content again on the same step, so you don’t have to start over again.

For now, I’ll leave these settings turned off.

Step 1.B: Get Familiar with the Spin Rewriter “Word & Phrases” Settings Tab

These, by default, are ready to go. Only change them up if it makes sense for your seed content processing.

I leave these slider settings (Make articles more readable, or more unique?) as is and add words to the Protected Keywords section. These are protected keywords are words that I don’t want Spin Rewriter spinning (i.e., I don’t want these switched by an alternative or synonym – ever).

In this case, I’ll add the words email and marketing to the protected list.

Note: the “One-Level or Multi-Level Nested Spinning?” option in the Advanced Settings tab above is good if you’re struggling to get unique spun content. We’ll most likely not need it in this example, but it’s good to know it’s there.

Alright, that was a lot of “setting” information, but it was worth covering, so you know how to configure the tool properly. Let’s move to the next step.

Step 2: Spin the Article

Now that things are configured, I’ll click the One-Click Rewrite button.

And wait a minute, or less, as Spin Rewriter starts doing its thing.

Step 3: Generate Unique Versions of Your Article

Once step 2 has wrapped up, Spin Rewriter will deliver your unique article in spintax form.

Additionally, it will let you extract unique versions from this spintax formatted article (ie. you’ll be able to see multiple unique versions of your article at a click of a button. You can do this by clicking the Generate a unique version button.

Note: If you pasted the syntax form spun article on WordPress and published it, it would display one of the thousands of unique options available.

As you can see, the uniqueness of this generated spun article is 94%. I like to keep mine greater than or equal to 95%, but everyone is different.

The great thing about Spin Rewriter is that you can click the Generate a unique version button over and over again until you come across a unique article that has the score you want.

If this was my spun article and I couldn’t get to 95% or higher, I could click the Settings button and enable some or all of the toggles to see if it helps increase the uniqueness score.

Luckily, I managed to get my 95% uniqueness score for this example.

The New Spun Article:

When compared to the spun content, you’ll notice that Spin Rewriter doesn’t produce the King’s English or anything I’d post on a money site because you can still find grammar mistakes sometimes. However, it’s minimal, and the content is still readable.

This explains why some SEO service providers still use this type of content for backlink content. Spun articles like the one above would be good for tier 2 or 3 link building with Web 2.0 websites or mass page affiliate marketing sites, in my opinion.

Spin Rewriter Pricing

Spin Rewriter has 3 pricing options:

1. $197 per year
2. $47 per month
3. $497 lifetime single payment

The monthly and yearly options come with a 5-day free trial, but there’s no beating the single payment of $497 and avoid recurring payments (there are currently no payment plans). If you’re not sure which option to pick, go with the free trial, spin content, spin articles, and see for yourself. You get a money-back guarantee.

The Upsells

It’s been a while since I’ve gone down Spin Rewriter’s sales funnel. Things might have changed, but there are two upsells I’m certain of. Those are:

• WordPress Plugin ($47 one-time)
• GOLD Membership ($47 one-time)

I purchased the GOLD membership as it gave me access to their VIP SEO Content-on-Demand Service. I used these pieces of content to spin articles for Web 2.0 content (back when I was using it for anchor text diversity).

The second reason I got the membership is because it gave my virtual assistant limited Spin Rewriter account access so he can do some of the spinning for me (without giving him login details).

I skipped the WordPress plugin as I didn’t need to automatically publish spun articles based on original articles on my WordPress money sites. It could be useful, though – I’ve yet to test it out.
