    Spun Article?

    Just found this article, and it took me a while to figure out it wasn't just badly written. Is that a "spun" article? Three guesses what search terms they're targeting!

    That PR6 domain expired and was bought recently so I was just checking to see what the new owner was doing with it. Not impressed so far. I guess they're using it to feed PR/SEO value to other sites they own.

    Well it's not PR6 any more so he's probably a tad disappointed.

    There's spun content and there's autogenerated content, but all of it looks like the content some of the Indian article writers come up with.

    For those new to this site, I'm Indian, I'm Indian, I can say those things!

    That doesn't look spun to me, it looks like a DP $2 per 500 word special.

    I wonder, are there any tools out there to detect spun content? I often have chunks of text I'm unsure about and it would be useful to have a tool to plug the text into.

    No way to detect spun content, the whole point is to make the article unique enough to pass copyscape and duplicate filters.
