SEO From the Dark Side

I shared a big list of free blog-hosts (parasites) in an earlier post – hundreds of places where you can dump articles and get backlinks to your money sites. It’s so easy to do; it’s just a matter of signing-up and posting your articles. And with many free blog-hosts, you can use a different theme layout or modify the existing one, if you want.

So now you’re beginning to realize the potential of these free blog-hosts (aka, parasite blogs, or just parasites). They can be used for either backlinks or you can monetize them. But, the biggest problem is article creation, right? Where do you get reasonable quality articles from for the free blogs? Well, there’s only 3 real options here:

1. Write them your-self;
2. Outsource;
3. Spin them.

If you intend to use the parasites (free blog hosts) on any scale, writing articles yourself is going to be such a pain in the ass – you’ll probably die of boredom or get brain-ache or finger seizure.

Outsourcing is not really viable either, even if you’re paying $1 per 300 word article (which is very cheap), it’s still very expensive if you’re consistently building links to a number of sites and internal pages.

So, the best option is article spinning. If you’re not familiar with article spinning, read more about it on Wiki.

Basically, you create an article using the typical spinning format, {word 1|word 2| word|word 3} or {phrase 1|phrase 2|phrase 3}, and use a simple script to ‘spin’ the source to create many articles. Here’s a very simplistic example.

{Blackhat|Blackhat SEO} is {easy|simple} when {you know how|you understand it}.

The above will generate the following:

Blackhat is easy when you know how.

Blackhat SEO is simple when you understand it.

Blackhat is easy when you understand it.

Etc.

There are quite a few scripts available to generate and spin articles. Does anyone remember ArticleBot or WebSpinner?

Based on extensive experience, here are a few tips that will help you spin articles that bypass duplicate content filters and pass the link juice onto your money sites.

1. Make sure you vary individual sentence length as much as possible.
2. Vary sentence beginning-and-end words/phases as much as possible too.
3. Use the spin syntax to shuffle sentences in the middle of an article as much as possible. Eg: {sentence 1|sentence2|sentence3}, etc.

Even though there are tools available to help you prepare articles for spinning, it’s such a laborious job, I always outsource it. On DP, I can get someone to format an article for around $15. That article can then be spun 100 times or more, so it works out at 1.5c per article – which is value for money!

Once you have the articles, it’s just a matter of inserting the desired links and uploading them to the free blogs.

Here’s a simple diagram to illustrate how you could use free blogs and spun articles to build link juice to a money site.
