    This is real duplication of content and low quality and poor writing is also comes under Google content farm.

    Even if you rewrite an article that you get from article sites whether u do it manually or use an article spinner, that's still considered duplicate content because it has, more or less, the same idea. It is always advisable to write your own, do a research first and have a thorough analysis as it will be more appreciated by the readers and the search engines.

    According to me after Google panda update, spin articles are also consider as a duplicate content.

    I would suggest stay away from such practices. Don't use the content anywhere that you are publishing on your website

    Always write original content to publish on your website. Google's new algorithm update is more strict about duplicate content. Your website may be counted as spam because of duplicate content.

    Hi,
    You can use other contents as reference but do not spin or rewrite as google will consider it as a duplicate content. A content writer can easily frame his ideas into words to create an article then why do you need to rewrite. Just have an proofreader to correct your grammar mistakes and make it as an quality article.

    regards,
    steve

    1. Will google mark it as duplicate content? --- I don't know if Google will MARK it as duplicate content, but they have no reason to penalize you. Even if you didn't rewrite the content and used it "as is", Google wouldn't have a reason to penalize you. Just perform a search for a random Ezinearticle article title and see how many instances of the exact same article are indexed by Google. Or, go to Google News and see how many sites run the very same or very similar news piece. Do you think those sites are all penalized by Google?

    Sure, Google doesn't want to have too many duplicate copies in their index (why should they?). So, they make it harder to get those copies indexed and, depending on the strength of your site, you might need to do some link building. But, they will not penalize you.

    With rewriting/spinning, your chances to get your stuff indexed are higher and your result will depend on the % of uniqueness. The higher, the better. The most important sections are the tile and the opening paragraph(s).


    2. Is that kind of plagiarism? --- Yes, it probably is. If you're taking someone else's article and, without their permission, rewriting it and publishing as your own, then it's likely a case of plagiarism. I believe, the terms of use for sites like Ezinearticles explicitly prohibit you from modifying downloaded articles. However, if you buy PLR articles, you are allowed to do whatever you want with them, in most cases.

    No I don't think so, but it will be of no benefit to your readers.

    It is called a duplicated content. You can easily write an original content after reading those articles and do some researches too.

    answer to 1... is no one can say for sure because of advancements in spinners that can re-create English grammar structure and synonyms to such a degree that I don't believe any automated process be able to definitively say if it was original or not.

    it's like this... assume the English dictionary only has 100 words in it. you can only spend so much before you end up using the same words again. likewise... even if the article is written by human... it's still just a matter of 100 words into you end up repeating them again.

    a few years ago it was probably very easy to detect duplicate content by extracting the text and analyzing the paragraph sequentially. but now for the last five years or so you got people spinning things to a degree to where they can look just like a human wrote it.

    answer to question two is: technically it is plagiarism... but it's not something you really need to worry about unless some type of copyrighted thing that someone would actually come after you about. even if they do waste their time to come after you about it you still have much to worry about other than getting a letter from your host saying to take the content down.

    it's unlikely that it would be pursued legally because they would have to prove in a monetary amount how much you owe them for the alleged plagiarism.


    A third thing to consider is... if the original site is being crawled every 7 days... and the site that the content is copied over to is only being crawled every day... Google at that point thinks that the site that posted the copy is the original publisher.

    additionally for years now people have been pumping out mass RSS feeds... that were not processed by any spinner. so I think the whole duplicate content and original content may not mean as much now and in the future. ideally it should count... but with what I just mentioned about the mass deployment of the same content... I don't see how Google or any search engine can really credit any specific site with being the original source.

    hope that makes sense

    I agree with Alicia. Spinners are much more advanced nowadays so it's difficult to detect it probably.
    However writing unique articles is always best of course.
