article spinning : checking your syntax for mistakes?

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by eatinfish, Apr 8, 2010.

    Are there programs that do this?

    I am using one that gives me an article preview which looks fine, but it seems there must be a nested bracket that is missing and so every now & then random "spun" articles come out with curly brackets!

    Just wondering if anything does a proper check to ensure all brackets are closed....or some sort of editor that displays tags in colours (bit like the way dreamweaver helps with incorrect/missing tags)

    Cheers

    I have spent so much time spinning articles and chekcing for mistakes I think sometimes it is quicker to rewite yourself, unless you are doing mass spinning

    yeah...it's alright for simple spins but once you get really nested it can be difficult to find out if everything is properly "closed"....thought there might be a progam out there to check!

    hey guys n gals,

    jus found notepad2 - if you highlight a bracket & it is closed it goes red...if its not closed it goes blue!

    and its free!

    Tried to post the link but |'m too new/dont have enough reputation to be able to do it so just google: notepad2 you'll find a website (flos-freeware) - get it there!

    hey... if anyone wants to click the wee "add to this users reputation" star that would be cool - then I think I can post the links!

    :)

    I hate editing nested articles. If there is a missing bracket it's a pain to catch.

    When I submit using ezarticlelink it tells me there is a missing bracket and it colors it purple. The other spinning tools I use don't do this (magic article rewriter, article blueprint) or not that i know of.

    I could not agree more. Article spinners actually make you waste much more time correcting and even revising them. I rather spin them myself or outsource and pay someone to do a quality rewrite for me.

    cheers @itzball

    I wrote my first "spin" tonight with notepad2, it took about 2-3 hours (I should really start timing myself!). Notepad2 was a great help. After completing the article with a lot of spins I used the "find" tool for "{" and then again for "}" - I had been careful & notepad2 had already helped me alot so I only found one mistake.

    Its a pity it can't "auto highlight" the brackets!

    Lol this is going to look like I am stalking you Eatinfish :p But a "proper" spinning program which checks this and makes you correct them is "The Best Spinner". I do a LOT of spinning, and this is the program I use exclusively now (after experience with doing it manually, using Article Marketing Automation, and Jetspinner).
    http://www.thebestspinner.com

    Edit: it's not free, but costs approx $77 (?) I think if you search on the warrior forum you should be able to find a coupon to get a discount somewhere

    When you click to see a preview of your article it will stop you and point to the area of your article where the broken syntax is.. but this is just one of the many advanced features of The Best Spinner... man I sound like a salesman but I am honestly not connected to this product in any other way than a user, but it has an excellent thesaurus built in, will save your favourite word replacements and auto replace them if you wish, as well as colour coding the different "deeper" levels of spinning you use.

    Here are some articles I have made with it, on estimate I would say it cut my spinning time in half - from over 3 hours for a really good spin to 1.5-2 hours now:

    lol!

    no - all good information. It's good to hear genuine advice - I hate reading those pages full of "sales" stuff...I actually get bored & it puts me off buying but I like the sound of this one :)

    Try the spinning done via easyarticlespinner.net its what I used and Im simply impressed. Then check if all of the brackets are closed in notepad2.

    I have done manual spinning of many articles with the 3 syntax symbols { | }. When a word or a sentence is to be spinned I use like {word1|word2|word3} and similar to the sentences.
    It is very simple for any writer having a good knowledge in English. I have never used any software for spinning purpose.
