Welcome to the Q&A Forum

A different forum may have an audience that is better suited to answer this question. Right now, this is like asking for reviews of the best steak sandwich in a vegan forum. For an honest answer to your question, I do suggest a different forum. For trolling, I ask that it not occur on this forum.

The community here is open to helping, but not as open to a question that turns into something where their are being used for a different purpose.

I'm locking this thread.

Great! What are you looking for in a content spinner? What resources have you looked at? What kind of use do you want out of it? I asked for more clarification in the first response on this thread so that we could better help you.

Can we help you with a question in Q&A? This is getting off-topic, and may be locked without further warning.

This was on an external site. It was not my content, I had no editing capabilities.

Incidentally, the person was asking about the site in Q&A. Their friend owned it, and was wondering why it was not ranking.

Can you add some context as to where you'd like to use this spun content, so we can help you better?

Generally, content that has gone through a spinner isn't of the best quality. I've seen an article about alcoholism that was spun. Instead of "Think Before You Drink", it had been changed to "Think Before You Beverage".

Will the types of sites where your content would get noticed by the right people accept a copy of content that has been published elsewhere?

Will they want to publish content where you may outrank them, since you are the original publisher?

Are you willing for their version of the content to outrank yours, if they have a more powerful site?

Actually, Bing has said that a bad meta keywords (spammy) can be a negative signal to them.

And with Google testing out things on a daily basis, it's hard to determine with just one test if it was you or them.

I can't find anything from Google that talks about order of importance in this case. They list the tags that they understand at https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/79812?hl=en and just say to have them in the head section.

You may be interested in reading this post from Matt Cutts of Google at http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/guest-blogging/.  The post starts with "Okay, I’m calling it: if you’re using guest blogging as a way to gain links in 2014, you should probably stop. Why? Because over time it’s become a more and more spammy practice, and if you’re doing a lot of guest blogging then you’re hanging out with really bad company."

I manage the guest post submissions to YouMoz here at Moz, and just today turned down a 2000-word post with original content because it didn't meet our standards of having actionable information for our readers, and had a blatant and unrelated link to the author's company. The good sties are getting a lot stricter about guest posting, especially in 2014.

We have a good post on pagination right now on YouMoz at http://moz.com/ugc/seo-guide-to-google-webmaster-recommendations-for-pagination, which could be a good place to ask that quesiton.

Hi Christine,

We don't have those real-time capabilities, unfortunately. I'm on the community team, and we also use external tools for our daily management of Twitter (currently Exact Target/Cotweet, but are looking for alternatives).

I looked at some of your content, and some of it seems quite thin, such as the regulations for each state. There's really only a couple of sentences (in the instances that I saw) that deal with the individual state, and then there's a lot of boilerplate content, navigation, and other site elements that are the same from page to page. Just one more thing to think about.

A couple of things I'd do right away:

Look in Google Webmaster Tools to see if there are any notices there (I'm going to assume that it's Google where you are no longer ranking).

Look in your analytics to see if there was a particular day that you dropped off. You can then look to see if that coincided with any known algorithm update.

Moz Page Authority is a separate metric. Sadly, we have no pipeline from Google where they tell us exactly what they think of a site. We update our metrics about every month, so it may take a couple of months to see authority changed to a new page in Moz.

Yikes! Looks like we have a bug here. I'm going to create a ticket so we can follow up with you.

I took a look at your account, and the one thing I'd try is to do the www search for just the domain itself, and not the subfolder you added. I'm also going to have our help desk take a closer look at this to make sure everything is working properly and fix things if there is an issue.

Hi Jen,

We don't have a date for plans to expand to Canada at the moment, but we do know there is quite a demand for it. I'm not sure about a similar tool for Canadians, but I'm going to ask Miriam to take a look at this question, as she's our local expert.

Hi Adam,

When you're looking at the ranking on your own computer, are you using an incognito browser where you're not logged in to the search engine and don't have any search history?

For the keyword, is it a local result? Plain search result? Image result? On occasion, that can also trip us up.

You should start to see some changes in the next OSE update.
