Jetspinner Beta Phase 1 opening TODAY!

Those of you on the pre-notification list should be receiving an email shortly with details on how to get registered for phase 1 of the beta testing. The main goal of this phase is to weed out any major bugs and test how the server handles the multiple user load of article spinning. Once I have some results I’ll be moving things to a more powerful server and going into the next phase of beta for a much larger group.

Problems with blog advertising

Blog advertising has some inherit issues that traditional website advertising has not had to worry quite as much about.

It’s very similar to forums with returning readership that quickly grows banner blind. The ads on the blog simple don’t get noticed any longer. Sure this is the same with a normal website but since blogs tend to have returning users the users are even more use to ignoring the blog’s ads.

One solution is to not use traditional advertising. Bloggers would simply get paid to put advertisements in their content.

But this could get ugly (in fact it has already with some not well planned start-ups).

The whole idea of a blog is to provide a personal touch and an uncorrupted opinion (at least thats what many idealists like myself hope).

  • If bloggers start getting paid to post unrelated information or advertisements in their blog then it kills the theme of the blog and it simply starts to look like a garbage blog. Readers hate it and Advertisers lose the ability to touch a faithful readership around a given niche.
  • Also if bloggers start posting false reviews (forced positives as I like to call them) of products, services, or websites the trust in that blog is gone. Or worse the forced positives stay hidden and readers do not even know the lies being posted by the blogger they read or take advice from.

To us these are simply unacceptable problems. Many bloggers like us can not accept being involved with networks that ignore these problems. Spontent was created to address these issues in Phase II.

With Phase I we are first working to build a group of bloggers, webmasters, and advertisers that have high quality sites and blogs that rank well, and post quality information.

Do you agree with our stance on hidden forced positive advertisements and unrelated in content advertisements junking up blogs?
What do you think should be done? Who is ready for a change and a chance to make REAL money posting to their blogs? If advertisers know they’re getting quality who’s to say a good post or truthful review from a high ranking, high page rank, quality blog isn’t worth $20..$50..$100..or more… the possibilities are endless!

Building Traffic through Articles

Article writing is one of the most time tested ways to build high quality backlinks and pagerank for your site no matter what the age or current ranking of the domain.

The basic concept is simple, write an article, submit it to article directories where other users pick up your article and post it on their websites which have (hopefully) similarly related themes.  As a result you’ll get high quality contextual backlinks from everyone that posts your article on their site… in a perfect world.  The problem is you wrote one article and as many as 100 people may have picked it up and shared it with the world on your site.  You think, “Great!  Thats 100 backlinks on pages with my article which is obviously related to my website!  Google will love it and the world will bow to my powerful and high ranking website!”… or not… in reality Google will most likely only keep about 5-10% of these articles indexed in their search results.  The rest are essentially disregarded and ignored.

Well the most obvious solution is of course… write more articles.  So I write 1 article and get 5 backlinks that Google counts, that’s still pretty good.  So lets write another 50 articles and now I’ll hopefully get 200-300 backlinks that Google wont throw out.  This works.  But how much does it cost to have 50 good articles written for your site?  $500?  $750?… $10/article is pretty good for a quality article.  You might get them for $5/article but I prefer someone that speaks English writing my articles.

I suggest there is another solution.

Spend a little more time (maybe 20 minutes per article) and run them through our upcoming article spinner, Spontaneous Content, absolutely free.

 First a quick Q&A:
Is this spam?  No, far from it.  It’s high quality content with normal grammer.
Does Google dislike this?  No, you’re still providing quality content, and now the content isn’t worthless and duplicate.  Google indexes and loves the content.  It’s worked for us for years now and it WORKS LIKE CRAZY.

When will it be released!?  We’re working on the public version now!  Send us your input to help me create the most useful content spinner out there.

Is this all Spontent is about? Noooooo, Don’t think this for a second!  This is simply our first free web application that we will be releasing as Spontent.com.  This is the most simple application we’ll be releasing anytime soon.  It’s whole goal is to help you get ready for the power that Spontent puts in your hand.

We don’t want you to have to go out there and buy a ton of $200 programs to get the full advantage of the Sponsored Content Network.  We figure we can easily create free tools to do everything these other tools do and give them away to anyone interested in Spontent.  Why make you pay for stuff that we can easily make free?

Get ready to rule the search engines!
