Secret article converter?

    Has anyone used secret article converter? I’ve been to their website and read some reviews which all seem slanted by an affiliation with the site. I would post the link here but I don’t want to promote them in case they’re claims are fraudulent.

    As far as I know they take an article and re-order the paragraphs and replace certain words with similar words from a thesaurus.

    To be honest I suspect you will end up turning a nice article into a load of rubbish but I've never tried.

    Several of these tools add "snippets" of text to the beginning, middle and end of the article. The idea is that if you can add about 30% of new text to the article, the search engine spiders may not flag it as duplicate content.

    I have used Secret Article Converter, will likely drop my membership. They do some thesaurus type replacements throughout the text, but to be honest, I can do it quicker myself if I'm going to have to approve each replacement. And the technology's just not good enough yet to let it make it's own decisions. The holy grail of computer recognition of context remains elusive.

    I'm got a working title for my own article:
    "Why a satellite dish is not a moon platter, and a search engine is not a hunting locomotive."

    Your guess would be as good as mine. Where would google draw the line between a copied article and a unique article?

    Its like when you were at school and copied your mates work. If you did it cleverly the teacher didin't spot it but in most cases you got found out.:rolleyes:

    I'm always amazed at how hard some people will work to avoid work.

    They'll spend twice as long dicking arround with a glorified thesaurus that creates junk as it would take to write a original article from scratch.

    So, I decided to shell out for this just to test it. Frankly, it's crappy. Here's the original snippet (from seobook.com):

    Rand's point there is exceptionally valid. As the amount of information available increases what is link worthy changes. I am sure there will always be exceptions to rules, but in a new market a link list may be link worthy, then as it gets more established a directory might be useful, but then as it gets even more competitive people like editorial content, quotes and specific reasons why cited resources are important. Then some may eventually expect focused regularly updated channels.
    While the core message of most internet marketing information sites may be exceptionally similar (containing the following ideas)
    be original
    be interesting
    it is all about the reader
    it helps to come up with something that defines success on your own terms from your worldview. For example, Brian Clark recently gave a free viral copy report, trying to define viral content in the terms of a copywriter who understands blogging. It helped to add the with blogging part to his idea because Seth Godin already snagged the free viral content market position with Unleashing the Ideavirus.
    Once you grab a market position it is hard to lose unless you become lazy and/or uninspired, or create massive barriers to distribution.


    Here's the output you get:

    Rand's period there is exceptionally documented. As the aggregate of information available increases what is connector praiseworthy changes. I am persuaded there will always be exceptions to rules, but in a new exchange a component list may be link worthy, hitherto as it gets new established a key might be expedient, but then as it gets level supplementary foe people similar editorial capacity, quotes and definite reasons why cited effects are urgent. Then variegated may eventually expect steady regularly updated channels.
    Awaiting the core word of most internet marketing information sites may be exceptionally similar (containing the following ideas)
    be original
    be absorbing
    it is all nearby the reader
    it helps to approach up nearby something that defines ascendancy on your own vocabulary from your worldview. For example, Brian Clark recently gave a unfettered viral copy report, frustrating to define viral size in the terms of a copywriter who understands blogging. It helped to add the prep blogging portion to his notion because Seth Godin already snagged the free viral content market disposition with Unleashing the Ideavirus.
    Once you clutch a market position it is hard to mislay unless you become shiftless and/or uninspired, or create bulky barriers to sharing.

    You be the judge...

    and whether it's duplicate or not depends on how you spin it. also - this kind of software really does save you time from writing 1000 articles yourself
    sorry for the two posts ;)

    OK, I have invented a free article converter.

    Try it yourself (translate from English to French and back);)

    This is a good idea and I've used in the past but it really only works once. So you can get a second copy of your article, that's it. Try to translate it back and forth a few more times and you'll get something like this -

    Boxxet (delivery "regulated box") collects" better "news, blogs, photographs, speed, services and much without counting that on the preferred subjects of the people. Boxxet uses a simple combination of automation of computer and the participation of the community produces the most various better and more complete compilations on your preferred subjects. We clean as quickly as us put out of the box (we hope that Boxxet could be useful for you). We allow users in little at the same time, thus if you do not have a username or a password, please signs the jusqu with the top and we will ensure ourselves to obtain one with you very soon.

    Plus it's time consuming. Better to drop a couple bucks on a software that helps you do it.

    Just for the fun of it the article from English to German in babelfish, then from German to English in Google.

    Point of the edge is unusually valid there. As the quantity of information of the existing increases, which connection appropriate changes is. I am sure that there are always exceptions on the guidelines, but in a new sales market a connection list the appropriate connection to be can, then, since it manufactured more a listing could its keeps useful, but then, while it even more competitive people like editorial contents, stating lines and specific reasons why receives, quoted operational funds are important. Then some focused regularly updated guidance can finally expect. While the core announcement of most InterNet marketing information of places of assembly can be unusually similar (the following ideas contained) is you is it is interesting completely over the reader originally, who it helps to come with somewhat above success on your own designations of their worldview defines. E.G. Brian Clark reported recently free virus copy and tried to define virus contents in the designations of an ad writer who understands the Blogging. It helped to add with blogging part its idea because Seth Godin already the free content market virus position with Unleashing the Ideavirus snagged. As soon as you seize a market position, to lose is hard, it is you putrid and/or not be inspired, or causes solid barriers for distribution.

    I have tested over 6 ways to re-write articles for 1 year now.

    1. Using the thesaurus
    I have found using a thesaurus does NOT work when trying to maintain the correct grammar and readability in the articles.

    2. Adding sentences before after and in the middle
    This method of adding sentences in between sentences sounds good to new webmasters but I would never use this method.

    3. If a Web Developer can program a script to fool the search engines...
    Why do some many people believe Google doesn't have better programmers to build script to detect these methods?

    Here is the script I made a few months ago that changes articles. This example changes a short article 2500 times.

    Articles have two uses, getting search engines interested and getting people interested. Whilst this*might* get the search engines, it's not going to get the people. So then no one links to you, and no one ever returns once seeing the badly worded articles. I think I know which is better.
