How To Churn Tons of Unique Content
If you’re a shady article marketer or splogger (the folks who fill up sites with crap content for Adsense), you want lots of unique content. Unique content provides the backbone for thousands of your pages that handily bypass duplicate content filters.
Now there’s a problem with creating unique content: it’s taxing to create yourself, and expensive to outsource. The typical ghostwriter charges $10 per article. So what’s a shady splogger like yourself to do?
Easy.
Unleash the Power of the Markov Chain
The Markov Chain algorithm superficially generates very “real-looking” content, given just one seed document. This means that if you feed it a text-string, it instantly spawns as a completely rewritten article, yet appears reasonably readable. This is of value because that’s just what you want: unique content! Any mishmash of text fed into the Markov Chain algorithm emerges into literally hundreds of unique versions, easily bypassing search engine filters.
I’ve come across numerous software that utilize the algorithm. One of them is Peter Bray’s Markov Engine . With this baby, you can be an expert splogger in no time flat. Simply create an account (it’s free) and start churning out dozens of unique content with their demo template. Currently, their demo includes topics like fitness and health. Content for the demo doesn’t cost.
Now to generate unique content for your own niches, you’ll have to pay. It costs $20 for 100 credits. Each credit means one unique article. So for 20 buckeroos, you get 100 articles.
Do you want to use this software on your own blog? Definitely not! Grammar comes out atrocious. You’ll scare away customers with such frankensteinian articles. To my mind, such tools will be favored only by blackhatters managing blog farms.
Any folks here guilty of dancing the Markov?

One good use for this is you can setup a blog farm, sell links and post buyer’s articles under numerous iterations.
Some DP members do that

This reminds me of something I read last month - spammers are taking data from place such as Wikipedia, and swapping out some words at random for similar ones - creating “unique” looking content - even if it doesn’t make any sense - e.g. changing “server” into “wine waiter”. More details here: http://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2007/12/20/fatal-wine-waiters/
Like Markov chains, it’s only of use of people trying to fool search engines, and no more. Definitely an unwelcome blight on the landscape, though.

article re-writers whcih swap out words and rotate in blocks do great. Just rotating sections of a html page is good for non duplicate.

This generating is for nothing - nobody would link such nasty content. In long term just a waste of time.
Comment by Dan and Jennifer on 9 January 2008:
It’s interesting to see the developments in this area, but ultimately for most people this would be a complete waste of time these days.
Search engines MAY accidentally rank the bogus content, but when they realize that human visitors land and immediately hit the back button, they’ll realize the content is junk. And your site credibility goes down to zero with that engine.
Again, depends on your goals. We prefer to build a world class content site with very high quality articles and videos, which people tell other people about and link to on their own sites.
Best,

“but when they realize that human visitors land and immediately hit the back button,”
Well, Search engines are frankly quite unaware of users time on site.
And, using a site to do markov chain content generation, and even worse, paying for it is really rather a shame. I have some markov generation code around here for a super secret project I haven’t worked on for a while (no, not splogs or anything really meant to scam users). It was modified from some open source software I found, so I can probably rerelease to the wild if I wished.
And, yes, nobody will link you, obviously, but thats not what splogs are about, no matter how good or unique the content. There are certainly other much more creative uses you can employ.
Comment by Kline on 11 January 2008:
Oh, and content generated from the same source even with markov chaining the text is quite recognizable by search engines. So, forget just writing one article and generating 1000 variants of it. Just… be.. creative.
