In case you've missed the latest updates and trends by search engines - they're working hard to eliminate exactly this kind of thing.

Spun garbage is exactly how the blog networks came under fire, article sites have been de-indexed, etc.

The engines are looking for sites that generate quality content, not volumes of ick.

Spend your time turning that 1 article into something truly remarkable. Then, instead of blasting it out with some automation tool, spend a bit more time in selecting a high quality / high authority site to guest post it. Think high PR, high traffic for the ultimate win-win.

The days of article spintext spamming are over, and even if they still work on occasions, you don't want to take the blame when they get hammered.

Posting any text on another site just to gain a linkback is spamming. Doesn't matter what the text is as long as it's not for the benefit of the visitor to that site it's spam.

What Google will be doing is collecting a list of sites that become known for allowing spam. They do that by comparing relevance within text areas. They'll down-rank those sites making your linkback neutral at best.

Actually, Google says "Webspam" refers to pages that try to trick Google into ranking them highly.

Here's a page with how various other search engines define spam.

You might like to follow that up with a dose of what eConsultancy has to say about guest blogging, a common way of getting links, rankings, traffic, whatever your intention may be.

This topic has been beat to death many times here, with issues of paid links, nofollow vs dofollow, etc, coming into question. Here's the official Google guidance on 'bad linking', where they make it clear you are okay to build links as long as you aren't building:
- Links intended to manipulate PageRank
- Links to web spammers or bad neighborhoods on the web
- Excessive reciprocal links or excessive link exchanging ("Link to me and I'll link to you.")
- Buying or selling links that pass PageRank

Guest blogging CAN fall into their recommendation that, "The sites that link to you can provide context about the subject matter of your site, and can indicate its quality and popularity. "

The same is true of reviews, editorials, commentary, case studies, white papers, press releases and similar linkbuilding.

Instead of taking the time to spin an article 40 times, you are better spending your time writing 5 unique and relevant articles and submitting them to the better article sites that only accept decent articles.

The results from the 5 good articles will surpass the 40 bad articles.

It is totally spam which can be considered as Black Hat SEO. For some time it can boost your rankings but if it gets caught then I think your website can be penalised.

It was never going to survive as an SEO technique. The only purpose of article spinning was to generate an inbound link. Nobody was ever going to read the articles.

Google expressly warns against this sort of activity so it was only a matter of time before it was knobbled.
