Surprised what the Market Samurai guys are suggesting.

Hi all,

I wanted to bring this up for discussion as I must admit after seeing so many mixed opinions on this and after what I've just watched tonight I am back on the fence and confused as to what I think.

If you are not aware,  the guys at NobleSamurai have just launched a new short video campaign based on what they refer to as 18 months of interviews with expert SEO's in order to give people like me, an individual, an insight into how the pro firms are performing SEO today.

They're on the second video in the series, which has covered article syndication and link-building. Now I know we don't get the same credit these from article directories like Ezine that we used to BUT what NobleSamurai are claiming is that article creation, and syndication is still the BEST method to obtain back links in quantity.   What's worse, and more surprising to me is that they are totally encouraging article spinning.  Although they do say manually review each article before submitting, the numbers of spun articles they are hinting at are way too high in order to manually review each version.

So with that in mind, I'm very curious as to what you guys think about what NobleSamurai have just started announcing.

As I said I'm very much on the fence,  but with regards to my current projects,  Do you agree or disagree with this approach to content creation and syndication.

1. Find an article topic worthy of writing

2. Go ahead and create it for the purpose of hosting it on my site.

3.  Use a spinning tool to create only 3 or 4 other versions(not 1000's!!!) taking care that it still makes perfect grammatical sense however, just using different synonyms and maybe changing paragraph structure a little.

4. Upload the 3 or 4 new versions to different article sites, Ezine etc, of course including links to a. the source article on my site, and b. my sites homepage.

Looking forward to hearing what others think.

Hi Dave,

I am personally against the idea of article spinning as a whole. It's strange to see the Market Samurai guys positioning this as a tactic. I would be interested in knowing if there are firms out there who do employ this tactic.

I myself am a fan of content creation, but I much prefer "real" websites as opposed to article directories and find that the entry level for these sites requires better content. This requires unique, higher quality content which really rules out the spinning side of things.

I tried spinning a couple of times and got very disappointing results, but if these guys are saying it is one of the most effective tactics it would be useful to hear a few more opinions. It can be quite dangerous when guys with that much weight suggest tactics like this if they aren't based on real results.

I just watched this video and I was going to ask the same question. Are SEO agencies really employing this as their No1 Tactic. Does this still work in Panda world for backlinks as the Market Samurai Suggests...
