If they are your own or PLR articles for your own site, then it's worth 'topping and tailing' them (new first para and last para and headline).

If you are using them as articles to put out on EzineArticles, iSnare or ArticleMarketer, for example, then a 75-80% rewrite is necessary.

For myself, I use existing articles as a template, load them into Notepad and write each paragraph for myself, using their paragraph as my inspiration!

It takes me about 15 minutes to create a new article, I then write and refine a little. And it is new - I copy nothing and use my own words and thoughts. In fact a Top Ten I used once was cribbed from a magazine - I used, but reordered the ten and put my own descriptors of each heading in place.

I've been playing a bit with Content Spinner which means I have to spend about an hour on an article (longer than it takes to write it in the first place), creating the optional phrases/sentences/paragraphs, but then I have as many articles as I like to use for the future on a particular topic. I find it easy to use.

Trouble is, I might only want 10 articles on that topic, so it seems a bit of a waste when I have a hundred (or a thousand) tighly niched articles - I don't hink they are sufficiantly different to use as articles for submission, though they are good content for the site, within their category.

I have run them through DupeFree and I get about a 50% differential when I use CS and it's something I'm still learning.

Early days - lots of fun!

Content Spinner? is this helpful when writing or rewriting a content?
