Jacobs Media Social Media Update
Bingham Farms, MI - May 19, 2014 - In the company's new Techsurvey10, Jacobs Media took a different look at how radio listeners use and enjoy social media. And the results are spectacular.
Jacobs Media has typically asked respondents to tell them on which social platforms they have a profile. This year, they went deeper and asked whether respondents use these social channels on a daily basis. No matter how you slice it, Facebook wins both the "cume" and "TSL" (or Daily Engagement) measures. Of course, the data varies significantly by demographic and format preference.
The chart below shows the equivalent of social media's "cume" - of those with a social media profile, the sites where they are connected:
Not surprisingly, Facebook dominates. But LinkedIn shows up well, followed by a tie between Google+ and Twitter. Pinterest and Instagram are all mentioned by more than one-third of respondents with social media profiles.
Then, the company asked "on which of these sites do consumers visit on a daily basis?"
This is where Facebook displays amazing DE - or Daily Engagement. Nearly three-fourths of those on Facebook are present there every day. Twitter and Instagram are distant seconds when it comes to everyday usage. Note that while many still have a MySpace profile, no one uses that platform on a daily basis.
But the actionable tools for radio brands building social strategies are in the demographic details. A look, for example, at Generation Z - respondents 22 years of age and younger - reveals a very different social story. While Facebook leads, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat are all major platforms among this teen-heavy generation. And from the standpoint of DE, Facebook is lower than average, while more than four in 10 use Instagram and Snapchat every day.
This Gen Z "social footprint" speaks volumes about the importance of pictures in the social space, and may very well predict what older generations may be doing in the not-so-distant futures.

Long considered to be stable investments immune to recession, hospitals and other healthcare facilities are now feeling the effects of a cash-strapped economy as decreased charitable contributions are forcing non-profit hospitals to pare back and seek new financing sources, according to Jones Lang LaSalle's 2009 Healthcare Real Estate Financing Outlook.
The firm's healthcare and real estate finance experts cite a combination of falling revenue margins nearing break-even and severely restricted access to capital as having significant effects on the operating performance of healthcare facilities across the sector. For the first time, non-profit health providers are following the footsteps of for-profit health systems and seeking to leverage the value of owned real estate as a competitive source of capital.
"Throughout 2009, healthcare providers will be focusing inward—controlling expenses and enhancing revenue through creative real estate avenues," said Poe Corn, Executive Vice President in Jones Lang LaSalle's Capital Markets Healthcare practice. "There is little doubt that 2009 will be a year of very limited investment transactions in the healthcare sector, though those that do occur will take place as joint ventures, or as large non-profits acquire smaller, regional hospitals or providers execute sale-leasebacks to raise capital."
Jones Lang LaSalle's Healthcare Real Estate Financing Outlook predicts one of the trends that will influence the healthcare sector in the coming years is the adoption of sale-leasebacks by non-profit hospitals as they leverage medical office buildings and core real estate holdings such as acute and sub-acute hospitals as a source of capital. This trend began in the for-profit sector, but will gain traction in the non-profit sector due to a dramatic decline in charitable donations (20-30 percent decline in the last year). The drop in charitable donations, combined with the fact that many providers are edging ever closer to their bond capacities, will force many providers to search for new and creative ways of increasing their liquidity.
For example, a regional hospital in Wisconsin is currently bringing to market six medical office buildings totaling approximately 500,000 square feet. Those buildings will be sold with a long-term master lease with the hospital occupying 100 percent of the property. Another Midwest faith-based non-profit system had eight medical office buildings on the market, but removed the assets from consideration to obtain greater interest and better pricing in the future. Carolinas Health System of North Carolina also sold 15 medical office buildings at the end of fourth quarter 2008 generating $162 million from the sale of those facilities to Healthcare Realty Trust, a large healthcare REIT. Some hospitals are also buying equipment by folding the cost into the life of a lease, thereby further reducing the high costs of equipment purchases through an amortized payment schedule."
"Rising unemployment and a jump in the number of uninsured Americans is having a direct impact on the bottom line of many not-for-profits, creating a 'perfect storm' of higher debt and lower liquidity," said Mr. Corn. "The long-term survivors of this capital crunch will be those that maintain their credit ratings, and restrict their debt to equity ratio."
The constriction of the credit markets has caused many healthcare entities to search elsewhere for liquidity, another trend noted in the Healthcare Real Estate Financing Outlook. More and more hospitals are reporting an increased reliance on alternative financing vehicles including third-party ownership with operating leases, capital leases for facilities outside of the acute setting and physician joint venture partnerships.
Added Corn, "We predict more and more hospitals will begin focusing on outpatient facilities where the cost of preventative care is lower, and the cost to the hospital for leasing or developing such facilities can be less than one-half the cost of having these services within an acute setting."
Jones Lang LaSalle also expects healthcare systems to pursue equipment purchases by executing sale-leasebacks where it is possible to amortize the rental fees on to the life of the lease.
"That deal structure is a way for cash-strapped providers to address new and increased equipment needs while minimizing their debt carry," said Corn.
Jones Lang LaSalle Capital Markets is composed of a broad range of real estate investment debt and equity specialists, and corporate finance experts, working on all property types and in all the major national markets on behalf of major institutional and local investors and developers, as well as corporations. The firm's Capital Markets professionals are highly skilled at pinpointing and tailoring the right capital solutions for each of these client's needs. The Investment Sales teams assist investors in developing and executing asset recapitalization strategies for office, industrial, retail, multifamily, healthcare and seniors housing product. The firm's Real Estate Investment Banking experts raise debt and joint venture equity for investors and developers, and provide derivatives structuring and loan sale advisory services. The Corporate Capital Markets professionals help corporations develop and execute strategies that bridge their occupancy, capital deployment and financial reporting objectives for their facility portfolios. The Development and Asset Strategy team specializes in the sale of non-income-producing properties in their various forms from vacant buildings to raw land to entitled parcels and partially completed subdivisions. The firm's Value Recovery Services assist clients affected by the current financial crisis by creating value while managing risks through evaluating operational and occupancy needs, assisting with challenged assets and liabilities on their balance sheets, providing receivership services, asset management, raising capital through sales-leasebacks and providing leasing and recapitalization strategies for distressed assets. In the past two years, the firm's Capital Markets team handled $117 billion of transaction volume.

Mom of RN in rehab lookiing for advice and help - page 2

- 1Feb 12, '13 by sissiesmamaQuote from jordanpjYou are very welcome! Anything I can offer or pas on to help I will be glad to. I can still remember sitting alone in my house on the couch wondering if I had ruined my nuring career forever. It would have made that month I spent waiting for a bed SO much easier.Thanks so much. This info helps. I also was able to read earlier threads when you helped another nurse. Your sharing the steps of your experience is so helpful and kind. It is scary time and your sharing makes a difference to those going through it now. God bless you!
Hope all is going well for your daughter during her stay. Hugs to u, and thank you for helping her get started on the way!
Anne, RNC
- 4Feb 13, '13 by KristieRae71You daughter is fortunate that she has a good support system and a Mom that is willing to search for resources! She will definately need the support when she gets out! As a nurse that (now) works in the field of chemical dependancy and as a person IN recovery I strongyl urge you to find your local Alanon meetings and join those for yourself. YOU, as her loving mother, are going to need support as well. There is a fine line betweenl love/concern/support/love and co-dependancy. Please don't take offense if that word feels negative. We are ALL codependant to some degree. There is much to learn and the best thing you can do for her is to help yourself. We addicts and alcoholics search for the "easier softer" way and our thinking is one of manipulation… from minute to obvious! She will learn all of this for herself if she gets involved with a good program. The rehab facility is only the beginning…
I wish you both the best! The serenity prayer is useful for everyone!!!
- 4Feb 13, '13 by jordanpjThank you, Anne. I appreciate your support and help.
KristieRae, thanks for your support, also. I am going to Alanon meetings and they are helping. And you are right about not being codependent. It's so hard when you see your child hurting but I know it is her addiction and her recovery. Thanks for sharing with me. I am grateful my daughter has this forum and all of you to share with when she gets out of her inpatient treatment.
- 1Feb 14, '13 by sissiesmamaHello jordanpj - just wanted to check in and see how you were doing. KristieRae is absolutely right in her post! She by now probably has a sponsor while in treatment. The sponsor he picks can be such an asset - it wa a little difficult when I was looking for a perm. sponsor. At first, I tried looking for a sponor that wa a nurse. Not long after I started working with her on my recovery she passed away after having a stroke.
I was able to find one that really worked for me - she works in hotel management. Sometimes it just takes a little searching to find one that "fits".
Alanon will definetly be a great help to you while your daughter and you start the road to recovery. My mom went and it really helped her understand eveything.
Hope she's doing ok during her inpatient stay. Hugs to you for joining the road to recovery. I'll be glad to hear from her and help in any way I can. It's nice to talk to another recovering nurse in Louisiana.
I think I've been the only one in the forum from our state.
Anne, RNC
- 2Feb 14, '13 by jordanpjHi Anne! Thanks so much for checking in on us. I am going to my alanon meetings and they are really helping me. My daughter is doing well in her inpatient treatment. We get to visit her on Saturdays. I am going to tell her about you and she will be excited to connect with you. Yes, it is a bonus meeting another from LA. My daughter tells me it really helps talking to others who are in recovery. It will be so good to connect with her peers on this site. I don't know who her sponsor is in rehab but she has an awesome counselor working with her. Again, thanks for sharing and supporting us. You are an angel!
- 5Feb 14, '13 by Meriwhen, ASN, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorQuote from jordanpjThe reality is that nursing is a high-risk field for developing an addiction problem, between the stress of nursing, the easy access to drugs and--and this I often feel is the clincher--the "too much knowledge" syndrome, where nurses are telling themselves, "oh I know all about this medication, I won't get addicted to it." But yet they do. A pill here and there becomes two pills, becomes four pills...you get the idea.Someone told me she shouldn't have become a nurse if she was going to become a drug addict!
A good book to read is "Unbecomming a Nurse." It's the first-hand account of nurses who fell into addiction problems. As you read the stories, you'll find that not everyone there fits the "potential addict" stereotype that still persists. They're not all from broken homes and harsh socioeconomic backgrounds...as students often tell me when they come to the CD unit for clinical, many of my patients "seem so normal."
Ultimately, her recovery is in her hands--you didn't cause her addiction, you can't cure her addiction and you can't control her addiction or recovery. That is on her 100%. She's going to have to make a lot of her own choices in her recovery...let her make them. She may not always make the right choices...let her learn from these mistakes. I know you're mom and want to fix things--it's only natural that any mother would want to do that for their child. But she has to take responsibility for her recovery and her actions.
All you can do is offer her your support...as well as take care of yourself. Encourage her to keep gworking through her recovery. Going to AA/NA/SMART/other groups is good for her because she'll meet other addicts and realize that her problem really isn't as unique or uncommon...Caedecus (sp) groups are especially good since she's connecting with other healthcare workers in recovery. And of course, send her here to the recovery forums
You don't need to attend her recovery meetings with her...in fact, you shouldn't. While it's good to go to an open meeting occasionally with her IF she's OK with it, she also needs the space to work through her own feelings. This is no slur upon you, but it's hard for an addict to be honest and open when a loved one is in the room. Especially if they know that loved one has been hurt by their addiction.
You: definitely keep going to Al-Anon or Nar-Anon (the NA equivalent). Also consider checking out Codependents Anonymous--not saying that you are codependent, but as there's a strong correlation between substance abuse and codependent behaviors in the addict's loved ones, you may find useful information and support there. And for the same reason, she shouldn't accompany you to your support meetings because YOU need your own space to work through things. You've got a lot of your own feelings and issues to deal with regarding her addiction: fear, helplessness, frustration, anger, resentment, whatever...and you are entitled to each and every one of them.
Best of luck. It's not an easy road...in fact, the road to recovery is forever. All she (and you) can do is take it one day at at time.Last edit by Meriwhen on Feb 14, '13

Congratulations on taking that positive step for yourself. When we change our own behaviors for healthier ones it often has a positive effect on those around us. Good luck.

Did you install ISPConfig on the same machine? This doesn't work, the virtual Postfix setup is incompatible with ISPConfig!
Ouch! It would have been nice had there been a note in the tutorial to that effect. The postfix/courier/mysql how-to simply said to set up a Fedora core 5 machine per that howtoforge how-to - which included instructions for ISPconfig. It sounded like a good idea, so I did. Is there an uninstall how-to for ISPConfig?

We looked at the films in which young actors held starring roles over the course of their careers (animation excluded), then ranked them by box office average. You'll be surprised to see who did -- and didn't -- make the cut; see who's at No. 1!
B.O. avg $69.3 million
Age 17
Lead roles 3
B.O. cume $207.9 million
We all knew Hannah Montana attracted legions of tweens, but when Cyrus dropped the blond wig and dance numbers for The Last Song ($63 million), she proved true box office viability.

The Washington Stealth will be hosting
"Pink in the Rink Night" at the Comcast Arena at Everett when they take on the
Colorado Mammoth on Saturday, March 27 at 7:30pm. The Stealth will be wearing special edition pink helmets
that will be auctioned off during the game with proceeds going to the Puget
Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
This season, the NLL launched its "Black Out Breast Cancer" campaign to join the fight and increase awareness. Each of the league's 11 teams will host a specially-themed "Black Out Breast Cancer Night" during a home game that takes place between March 26 and April 3.
"The National Lacrosse League is proud to join the fight against breast cancer," said NLL Commissioner George Daniel. "Our fans are very passionate about lacrosse, and we know they will rally behind this cause as well."
The Stealth has held several events to benefit non-profit organizations this season, including the Puget Sound Blood Center and Northwest Harvest. The "Pink in the Rink Night" benefit for Susan G. Komen is one that holds a particularly special place in the heart of Stealth owner Denise Watkins.
"Both my mother and sister are breast cancer survivors," said Watkins, who has participated in Susan G. Komen events in the past. "In the Fall of 2008, my three sisters and I walked in the Three-Day Walk for the Cure, organized by Susan G Komen, in San Diego. It was an incredible experience for a great cause managed by a wonderful organization. The Stealth organization is very proud to be helping such a worthy cause, and we hope the Stealth fans will show their support as well."
"Because Washington has one of the highest incidence rates of breast cancer in the country, we are especially pleased to have a local partner like the Washington Stealth to help us make a vital impact on our region," said Cheryl Shaw, Executive Director, Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. "With the support of the Stealth and their fans, we can empower our community and contribute to the fight against breast cancer."
Throughout the game, fans can bid on their favorite Stealth player's pink helmet and be presented with it following the game. Along with the helmets, there will be other Stealth merchandise and merchandise from Stealth sponsors for sale with proceeds benefitting Susan G. Komen.
About the Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, they have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill their promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world. For more information about Susan G. Komen for the Cure, breast health or breast cancer visit www.komen.org or call 1-800 I'M AWARE.
The Washington Stealth host "Pink in the Rink Night", benefitting the Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, against the Colorado Mammoth on Saturday, March 27 at 7:30pm at the Comcast Arena. Tickets start at just $13 and can be purchased by calling 877-MY-75-TIX or at www.stealthlax.com.

A Bold and Color-Filled New York Apartment
All it takes is a bit of color and creativity to transform a traditional New York apartment. By incorporating intense, saturated hues into the classic interior, designer Christopher Maya brings new life to this family apartment.
By Jane Margolies
Living Room
Blue and red reappear in the living room's custom-made TV cabinet and sofa covered in Villa Romo's Bruges. "I didn't want over-the-top florals, but rather florals with a subtle, hand-blocked feeling," Maya says of the Robert Kime linens, Susani for the stools and Lilac Lamp for the curtains. Armchairs in Marigot stripe from Rogers & Goffigon. Vintage Fortuny pillows on the sofa. The walls are painted a subtle shade of blue, Benjamin Moore's Lookout Point.

Associated Press
The United States, with its abundant supplies of natural gas, would seem to have an easy answer to Europe's fears that a strong response to Russia's rapid takeover of Ukraine's Crimea region could prompt Vladimir Putin to shut down gas lines that keep European homes warm, factories humming and electricity flowing.
Trouble is: Right now, there's no way to get meaningful American supplies across the Atlantic Ocean.
Turning U.S. natural gas into liquefied natural gas (LNG), a process that makes the fuel transportable by ship, is very expensive. Beyond that, the U.S. government has — until recently — been stingy with permits to build those facilities. And regulations make it difficult to sell U.S. gas to nations that aren't in free-trade compacts with Washington.
That's not good news for Europeans, who are dependent on Russia for at least 30 percent of its natural gas. Consequently, Europe's reaction to the Russian seizure of Ukraine's semiautonomous Crimea, though noisy, has little teeth.
Moscow already has a history of cutting some supplies to Europe. In 2009, Europeans shivered through part of the cold winter because Moscow turned the taps off in a dispute with Ukraine over the price of gas. Some of the pipelines carrying Russian gas pass through Ukraine. And Ukraine once again is in hock to Moscow for $1.89 billion in gas bills.
European dependence on Russian gas no doubt played into Kremlin leader Putin's calculus when his forces took control of the Crimean Peninsula, home to Moscow's Black Sea fleet and 60 percent populated by ethnic Russians. Natural gas is Russia's trump card.
And though U.S. gas supplies might have given Putin pause before he initiated the current crisis, he knew the United States could not quickly make up any shortages.
The crisis in Ukraine is expected to drag on even after Crimea's status is resolved, and Europe could be waiting a while for new exports of liquefied natural gas from the U.S. The first are not expected until late 2015 from a Louisiana facility. President Barack Obama's Energy Department has approved only six LNG export applications in the past four years. All of those, aside from the Louisiana operation, aren't likely to be in operation until 2017.
This is what makes us in the industry mad. We can better the plight of all Americans and the western word, and yet we have a portion of the population entitled and screwed up. They continue to throw unecessary obstacles in the way of American free enterprise and global correctness.
Thank God, for karma, it comes back and smacks them down.
Palmer, no facts of water pollution. The extreme left has been debunked on all issues. Facts do exist that this antiracking campaign financed by Russia and Mideast countries. Here you see an explanation why.
I'm a veteran and this is unAmerican.

If based purely on statistics, the Tennessee Titans defense presents the toughest test for the Chargers' offense to date. They rank 12th in total defense (323.0 ypg), 11th in passing (221.5 ypg) and 13th in points allowed (19.5).
"I think they play well defensively," said Offensive Coordinator Ken Whisenhunt. "In watching what they did against Pittsburgh, they essentially shut Pittsburgh down. They really played well against them. They fought last week against the Texans. They had to drive the ball at the end of the game, the Texans did, just to tie it up and get into overtime. Their front is playing well. They're physical and they do a good job of pressuring the passer. That ties in with the back end. Those guys have confidence. We're going to have to be good in our releases. We're going to have to be good in getting those contested catches when they come up. We've got to make some plays."
So how do the Chargers prepare for a tough test on the road for the second consecutive week?
According to the team, they must remain balanced. Luckily, Whisenhunt says balance on offense is one of many areas he's been pleased with over the first two games.
This remains particularly true for how the running backs have been deployed early this season.
"I think we were pretty upfront about how we were going to play them," Whisenhunt said on Thursday. "I had said how all the guys have done good things for us.
Another positive sign is that the balance Whisenhunt talks about isn't just limited to the rushing attack. It has also been prevalent through the air as well, which he hopes carries over this week against Tennessee.
"I think we can mirror some of what we did in the last game," he said. "We had a number of guys make contributions. Eddie (Royal) had three touchdowns and naturally that stands out, but
According to Head Coach Mike McCoy, it is unlikely Floyd plays this week as he recovers from a sprained neck. The Chargers depth will be tested, but according to Whisenhunt, he thinks guys like
"I think we know a little about (Ajirotutu) just because he has history here," he said. "He did a nice job for us coming into training camp. He had to carry a lot of the burden against San Francisco in that last preseason game, because we were so thin at receiver and he did a nice job of it. Keenan answered the bell when Malcom went down in the game. Malcom goes down and Keenan makes a big catch on third down. It's good to see him do that. With a young player, the challenge is to make sure you stress them to keep doing it."

Media does nothing to divert likely public misunderstanding of low-fat diet study
A study, published today in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has indicated that a low-fat diet does not lower the rate of heart disease or cancer in middle-aged women. The study was reported across the country, with leads such as "Low-fat diet benefits rejected" (Washington Post) and "Low-fat diet does not cut health risks, study finds" (New York Times). As the Times put it, "The results, the study investigators agreed, do not justify recommending low-fat diets to the public to reduce their heart disease and cancer risk." The study was big, expensive, and carefully done. Two groups were followed over eight years – one assigned to eat a low-fat diet, and the other to eat whatever they please.
Eat whatever they please? No health consequences? Does this mean we can eat however much fat we please without any health consequences?!
While the media did not mangle the results of the study, the message that most people hear from these headlines is that losing weight does not cut health risks. Only deep into the article do we hear the point made that "The two groups consumed about the same number of calories." And, buried somewhere else, that there was no particular weight loss in the low-fat group.
So perhaps the true message of this study is: a low-fat but high calorie diet does not reduce your risk of heart disease. In other words, fat on our bodies is what's harmful, not fat in our food. The press might be a little more sensitive about how people read their work.
A good piece of journalism on this recent JAMA paper would both explain the results of the low-fat diet study, and put it in the context of other known risks to our health: being overweight or obese is unhealthy, and one way to lose weight is through decreasing fats and calorie intake overall.

Following the leak of a lengthy clip from the last cut scene for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm comes a leaked five-year plan production schedule for Blizzard Entertainment. The report comes from MMOGameSite.com. According to the site's source, Blizzard China manager Ye Weilun has been held responsible for the leaked document and has recently resigned. The document includes projected release dates for Diablo III, the World of Warcraft movie, future upcoming expansions for all of the company's major properties, and Blizzard's brand new MMO codenamed 'Titan.'
According to the alleged five-year plan document, you can expect Diablo III to launch in Q4 of 2011 with two Diablo III expansions scheduled to release later in 2013 and 2014. The next World of Warcraft expansion after Cataclysm is expected to release in 2012, while the World of Warcraft movie and Titan are scheduled to release in Q4 2013

The Best Content Spinner
An Idiots Guide to Content Spinning!
Everyone has heard of Article Spinning. Many SEOs and Affiliates have tried it. But I dont think a large number of SEOs understand it. Let's take the no.1 result on the search "Article Spinning"
(shock horror, its wikipedia )
Article spinning is a search engine optimization technique by which blog or website owners post a unique version of relevant content on their sites. It works by rewriting existing articles, or parts of articles, and replacing elements to provide a slightly different perspective on the topic.
Ok I guess I can live with that simple explanation. But the how what and why? Don't think Wikipedia, nor any other page one results in the SERPs explains it in its entirety. So I have taken a stab at a first draft.
Why Spin Articles? Duplicate Content Penalty?
The most common misconception about duplicate content is the word "penalty" attached to it. There isn't a "real" penalty for duplicate content, it's simply an algo indicator of low quality content or repeated content that lowers the value of duplicate content in the SERPs.
Let's put this to bed once and for all, folks: There's no such thing as a "duplicate content penalty." At least, not in the way most people mean when they say that. Google.
So it's not really a penalty, but dice it which way you like, the effect is to kill your site in the SERPs… Yeah, there are intentional duplicate content pieces out there, such as Affiliate Content, or subdomains, or site wide / category wide descriptions / paragraphs. But the fact is google's algo removes duplicate , or lowers the ranking value of, and shows either the more original piece of content or the piece from the most trusted domain / page.
This is where spinning comes in. It allows you to vary your site content to be different, yet say the same thing J. However, this isn't as great as you would think…
The Technical Definition
Content spinning is a bit more technical than most assume. In simple terms, yes, it's the replacement of certain predefined sets of words within a piece of written copy to variations that could in silo replace those words, such as synonyms. In technical terms, there are various arts to Article Spinning, for example defining spin syntax.
Article Spinning Syntax
A Spin Syntax is basically a marker for where and how you want to replace certain parts of your piece of content.
So let's say I want to spin:
Rishi Lakhani today is really cool.
A simple syntax would be:
Rishi Lakhani today is really {cool | awesome| radical}.
As you can see, we will end up with three variations of the same sentence, meaning roughly the same. This is called "Simple Flat Spinning".
Extended Flat Spinning would actually pick up on more words:
Rishi Lakhani {today| now |presently} is really {cool | awesome| radical}.
Which now gives you a 3*3 = 9 variation spin. Flip one more word and the same sentence hits 27 variations.
Still with me? Head not hurting yet? Ok let's look at the Nested Spin:
Rishi Lakhani today is really {insanely {cool | awesome| radical} | mentally}?
Notice the bolded additions. See the potential results:
- Rishi Lakhani today is really insanely cool.
- Rishi Lakhani today is really mentally awesome.
- Rishi Lakhani today is really mentally radical.
- Rishi Lakhani today is really insanely awesome.
These aren't all the variables – can you work them ALL out? Now imagine an Extended Spin used in addition to Nested Spin Syntax, and you get the real power of article spinning.
Article Spinning Demonstration
So I decided to show you how some simple Online Article spinners work. Using a free spinner, I spun my original text below:
Original Text:
This is an example of how article spinning works. Isn't it interesting how we can use logic to translate words mechanically? After all automation saves a lot of time, however I cannot guarantee that this will help you become successful in optimizing your websites. A human writer makes more sense, but sometimes an artificial one does the job quite well too. The trick is to find the right artificial content spinner. Now let's see how this works.
Spun text:
This is an illustration of exactly how article rewriting functions. Isn't this fascinating how we are able to use common sense in order to turn phrases robotically? In the end hands free operation will save considerable time, nevertheless We cannot ensure that can help you be successful within refining Your own websites. A human article writer will work better, however occasionally a man-made One can the job quite well too. The secret is to discover the best synthetic content spinner. Now let's observe how this functions.
Not too shabby? You get the gist of what I am trying to say, however the choice of words isn't perfect. See the potential variations of this one paragraph by observing how the syntax has been set up:
Advanced Content Spin Syntax:
{This is an|This is an|It is really an} {example of|illustration of|instance of} {how|exactly how|just how} {article spinning|article rewriting|article re-writing} {works.|works.|functions.} Isn't {it|this|that} {interesting|fascinating|intriguing} {how we|the way you|the way we} {can use|may use|are able to use} {logic|reasoning|common sense} {to|in order to|to be able to} {translate|convert|turn} {words|phrases|terms} {mechanically?|mechanically?|robotically?} {After all|After all|In the end} {automation|automatic|hands free operation} {saves|will save|will save you} {a lot of time,|a lot of time,|considerable time,} {however|nevertheless|nonetheless} {I|I|We} {cannot|can't|can not} {guarantee|assure|ensure} {that this|this|that} {will help you|can help you|will allow you to} {become successful|achieve success|be successful} {in|within|inside} {optimizing|perfecting|refining} {your|Your|Your own} {websites.|websites.|web sites.} {A human|A human|An individual} {writer|author|article writer} {makes more sense,|makes more sense,|will work better,} {but|however|yet} {sometimes|occasionally|at times} {an artificial|a man-made|a synthetic} {one|One|1} {does|will|can} {the job|the task|the work} {quite well|very well|quite nicely} {too.|too.|as well.} {The trick|The trick|The secret} {is to find|is to locate|is to discover} {the right|the best|the proper} {artificial|synthetic|man-made} {content spinner.|content spinner.|article spinner.} {Now|Now|Right now} {let's|let's|permit's} {see how|observe how|observe} {this|this particular|this kind of} {works.|works.|functions.}
Isn't that just so cool? SEO Automation can be fun
Translation Spinning
Now traditional content spinning isn't the only way spammers and blackhats have generated reams of "original" and "unique" content. Google kind of gave them a helping hand. Not convinced? Let's take this way back, when the google Blog pointed out:
Though we do offer a handy translation utility, our algorithms won't view the same article written in English and Spanish as duplicate content. Similarly, you shouldn't worry about occasional snippets (quotes and otherwise) being flagged as duplicate content.
AHA! So let's take my original content and give it a bit of a play with google translate
English to German back to English and into Swahili and back into English:
This is an example of how article spinning. Is not it interesting how to use logic to translate the words mechanically? After all, automation saves time, but I can confirm that this will help you be successful with optimizing your website. A human author makes more sense, but sometimes artificial and does work quite well. The trick is to find counterfeit goods Spinner. Now let's see how this works.
Bit of garbage, but still, it's unique
Human Article Spinning
Human Spinning usually makes more sense, and is more reader friendly. I took my original paragraph and gave the following instructions: I would like you to rewrite the below paragraph to mean exactly what it says, but trying to replace as many words as possible. The result?
Using the thought process of a written piece to rewrite content into a new form is an example of article spinning. Creating unique versions of an already written piece is easily manipulated with software that can generate dozens and even hundreds of variations. For search engine optimization, this sometimes works to get more visitors to your website. Of course, it can also be done without the use of software, but it's more time consuming, and there is no magic formula that will ensure that your website will thrive as a result of spinning, with or without the use of technology.
Total cost: $1.50
It's interesting, the writer slightly modified the meaning of the content, and it still sounds to wordy, however I didn't leave much room for creative adjustment, so it's not a horrendous piece, but neither is it a work of shakespear
Article Spinning Blackhat
So what do Blackhats and spammers use article spinning for? Just a few examples, but there are plenty more.
Made For Adsense Sites
I recently shared how facebook is creating thousands of autogenerated pages using grayhat techniques, by simply using Wikipedia content in most cases. Not only are these pages duplicate content, but they rank well. This is partly because of Facebooks trust factor. However the average webmaster doesn't have this authoritative trust to be able to rank content stolen straight from Wikipedia. However, a lot of long tail traffic is available by these pages ( even if Facebook got 1 visitor a month from its estimated 17 million page 1 rankings, then it gets 17 million visitors to its sites through dodgy SEO).
Now imagine recreating every single one of those ranking pages, spinning the content to make it "original" and then using Googles recommendations, slap ads around it…
Duplication Detection Prevention
This one is pretty obvious… rip off someone's content completely and pass it off as your own! Better still publish 100's of variations on different sites and profit…
Link Spamming Variations
Ever noticed your comment spam sometimes sounds like nonsense? That's because comment spammers who are autogenerating comment links in volumes are using article spinners to vary their comment text too.
Another Link Spamming method is to create Parasite Blogs and auto fill the content of these for backlinks.
Grayhat Article Spinning
Meta Desc Spinning
When you are faced with hundreds upon hundreds of similar product feeds, crafting custom meta descriptions can be a pain. Also, a simple find and replace doesn't necessarily make your description unique. However if you work out decent logic to spin these, you should be able to autogenerate 100's of variations that still make sense, and remain unique.
On page content spinning for Ecommerce
The same technique can be used for commonly distributed on page text. Often large ecommerce sites will have portions of text that is the same throughout the site, reducing the "uniqueness" of the page. Spinning this content distributes the risk. For example, WP Robot has a built in spinner to vary the text it steals from its various feeds such as amazon.
Article submission
Ok, so you want to submit to 100's of low quality directories to get links back to your site. You write one article and submit to 100 sites. What's the result? Google counts one, and deems all the others as duplicate, thus reducing the value of these. Now imagine you spun the article to generate 100's of variations? What happens? You have 100's of unique articles, on 100s of sites, almost all of which Google will see as different (theoretically).
Which is better? 1 article, or 100's of variations?
Link anchor variation
When submitting articles for link generation (don't laugh, people still do it, and it still works to some extent!) You can use Anchor Text Spinning to vary your anchors. Why do this? Well google does recognize and substitute synonyms and related words. See my post on the Tilde Search Operator for more information.
Content Spinning Wordpress Plugin (Free)
There are many Wordpress Content Spinners out there, however you may want to try the Free Article Spinner Plugin for Wordpress by Zack Katz.
Free Online Article Spinners
For my example above, I used http://www.extremewordspinner.com/ to generate the spun content. If you know how to split and add syntax, then you can also use http://www.freearticlespinner.org/ . these are both OK for simple jobs, however you won't create the volume of content that you would with a commercial spinner.
The Best Content Spinner
After speaking to a bunch of people, the general consensus has been that from a commercial point of view, the Best Content Spinner is indeed the best content spinner that money can buy.
I spend a lot of time and effort into writing and researching these posts. Please help me spread them by tweeting this post, or by Liking it on Facebook.
