Product:

The Rapid Content Wizard is marketed as a miracle solution to your content creations needs. You’ll no longer have to spend all your time writing articles and you can stop spending a fortune on outsourcing the task, because RCW takes care of all of it in one amazing software program (well, so claims Sean Donahoe)…

But the reality of what this product does couldn’t be further from the truth of what they claim it does. In this Rapid Content Wizard Review, I’ll show you exactly how the software works and why it isn’t the solution to your content needs.

The reality is this product will not help you at all with your business, and will only end up hurting you.

So how exactly does Rapid Content Wizard Work?

RCW is software that seemingly appears to pull content out of thin air. You type in a keyword, click a button and boom… tons of content and images around that keyword is generated for you. The content is broken down by paragraphs, so you just click the ones you want, choose some headings, images (which are taken from Pixabay and Flickr) and select affiliate products to promote (Amazon, Clickbank) and voila! You’ve got yourself a “quality” article that’s ready to post on your site.

The program is set up as a word processor, so you’d have pretty much all the same editing capabilities of Microsoft Word or Google Drive. But the images provided may not actually be “free” to use, so you’d have to double check to make sure you don’t run into any

The software goes even further and can integrate with your WordPress account to post directly, without you even having to log in. You can also post your articles to Facebook from the software too.

It sounds amazing, right?

The Reality of What RCW does…

The content being created when you type in keywords isn’t just pulled out of thin air, it’s being scraped from other websites around the net. Absolutely nothing this pulls up is original content… it’s stolen.

First of all, you can’t just steal other peoples content. Not only is it unethical, you’re going to get yourself into trouble with Google. They’re really good at deciphering between original vs scraped content, so if you use this software expecting instant rankings (or any rankings at all for that matter) within the search engines, it’s not going to happen.

Search algorithms are very sophisticated these days. If copied content is ever published, they’ll realize it isn’t worth ranking, because it already exists. There’s too many people publishing content for the web on a daily basis like this so they’ve learned to recognize it and ignore it.

“Produces quality, readable content… not garbled nonsense like other similar software programs”

If you ever actually pause the video during his demonstration, you’ll notice the article he pulls together is nonsense. It’s a bunch of random paragraphs being strung together in a way that doesn’t flow, make sense or connect with the reader.

It’s horrendous. There is no way you could use this software to produce something of quality unless you spent hours editing it to flow and make sense. Even then, unless you completely rewrote it, it wouldn’t erase the fact it’s copied. And if you were going to do that, you might as well just have written the articles from scratch.

Not even the Warrior Forum  members who bought this are recommending it to others. They all requested refunds; some seemed to get them with no problem and others had difficulties. And if you’re not familiar with Warrior Forum, that place is full of people who love to buy all sorts of lower quality products. If it’s so bad that everyone within the forum agrees, you know it’s horrible.

I don’t understand how they try and make such bold claims about their product when they’re contradicting themselves right within their own demonstration.

Real people are reading your articles

You’re not publishing your content for search engines, you’re writing it for actual people. You could have a hundred thousand visitors coming to your site on a daily basis, but if your website was full of unreadable nonsense nobody is going to buy anything from you. Either way, nobody is going to read the content on your site if you use this tool because you won’t see the light of day in Google or any other search engine for that matter.

What if you really don’t have time to write your own content?

You can always outsource your writing if you really hate doing it or don’t have the time. While you may be able to find people willing to do it for $5 on Fiverr, I wouldn’t recommend it. Those are not going to be well written, researched articles and since your content is the core of your business that is one area you don’t want to cut corners. For a quality, 100% original article it’ll probably run you around $30 – $50, or even more depending on length.

While it may seem like a lot, it’s worth it if you want to be running a successful business. If you’d like to know more about how to find a quality writer for your website, take a look at this article.

Pros vs Cons

Pros

Cons

• Flat out copies from articles across the internet
• Generates random paragraphs of content from different sources that don’t fit together
• Your content won’t rank in Google using this tool
• You won’t make sales with this tool

They also offer a 60 day money back guarantee; however it’s not always honored.

My Final Opinion – Is Rapid Content Wizard a Scam?

Since this software doesn’t live up to any of its claims and is performing unethical tasks, I do believe that Rapid Content Wizard is quite the scam. Sean Donahoe is a slick salesman that lies through his teeth. You’re made to believe it’ll generate wonderful content that’ll rank you in the search engines and be an amazing solution to your article creation needs. You’re told that using this software will only take a few minutes to set up, you’ll have content for life, and that you’ll be able to generate all kinds of crazy traffic through search engines.

But using this software will not get you anywhere but sandboxed with Google. Your content is the core of your business. It’s what generates search rankings and traffic, it’s what earns trust, it’s what ultimately ends up converting your customers to sales. If you don’t have the time to write it, outsourcing it to an actual human being who will write original, quality articles is a way better solution.

Learn to start an online business the right way…

Check out my #1 recommendation – It’s 100% free to start!

So, you’ve found some great keywords for your website. (If you don’t know how to find good keywords, I suggest you check out this training here). The question is, do you know how to add keywords to your website the correct way?

It’s really pretty simple, however there’s a lot of outdated/misinformation out there on how to do it. Read further as I reveal how to properly place keywords into your content in order to receive good search rankings!

Keyword density, meta tags…what?

You may have heard things like “keyword density”, “meta tags” or “hash tags” But do the search engines like Google really use such factors in determining what is relevant to the search? The truth is, no. Search engines want relevant content, they want the searcher to have the best experience possible and would like the chosen results to actually help them. Things like keyword density and meta tags used to be a determining factor in the ranking process, however they are no longer used as part of the formula in determining a good search result–therefore you need to net worry about them!

What you really need to do is relatively straightforward and there are only 3 steps. This is so simple it will blow your mind.

1. Include your keyword in the title of your page/post. For example, if your keyword is “how to stop smoking” you could make your title something like

• Learn how to stop smoking easily in 5 steps 
• How to stop smoking once and for all

You ideally want to make the title catchy and grab your reader’s attention. I’m sure you could think of something even more interesting but those are just off the top of my head.

2. Include your keyword in the first paragraph.

Have you been desperately seeking advice on how to stop smoking but nothing ever seems to work? Have you tried and tried and failed? Quit failing and kick the habit once and for all with this easy step by step guide.

3. Write the rest of your content naturally.

Don’t worry about how many times “how to stop smoking” appears within your content. Too many instances of a keyword is seen as “keyword stuffing” and that will not help your rankings at all.

If the phrase how to stop smoking enters the content again after the first paragraph that is okay as it flows smoothly. A good rule of thumb is to read the article back to yourself and if it sounds unnatural you probably have too many instances of your keyword.

Okay, 1, 2, 3 – you’re done! That is the correct way to add keywords to your content and really, that is all there is to it. 

What you want to aim for are LSI keywords (Latent Semantic Indexing)

LSI keywords are simply words that are relevant to your keyword–like “cigarette” “smoke” “nicotine” or “quit”, for example would all be related and relevant to how to stop smoking. Using lots of these types of words will help the search engines better understand what your content is talking about. However, LSI isn’t something to really over-think or worry about, it’s really just something that will happen when you write naturally!

Keep writing content for maximum rankings potential

The thing about search engines like Google is, well, they’re not always going to rank you for the exact key phrase you want. They may examine your writing and decide it should be better ranked for different keywords, and give you better rankings for those ones instead. It also could just take a lot longer for your content to be picked up and ranked for the exact keyword you were hoping for.

However, don’t get discouraged–just keep writing. Write lots of articles and keep them coming. Some will rank easily, others will take some time, others will never rank for the exact phrase you were hoping for — but what I find is that they all end up ranking in some way or another. And as long as you keep writing content, you will keep ranking.

Watch this being put into action!

If you’re still not convinced this process will actually be enough to get you ranked within the search engines, check out this live case study here and see for yourself (plus while you’re there, feel free to sign up for a completely free account to get more awesome material like that).  If walks you through the process of researching a keyword for an article, writing the actual article around the keyword, and having it rank in Google within 20 minutes! No keyword stuffing or meta tags required!

So it’s referenced a lot that “quality content” is what Google is really looking for when it decides what gets good placement within the search rankings. But what exactly is quality content, and what does it really mean?

Original content that provides useful information to the reader!

It doesn’t necessarily mean writing longer content, or content with “big” words, or content that is perfect. You don’t have to be a professional writer to produce quality content. What does matter is you write from your view, in your own words and with your personal style. Give your opinion. It’s fine to reference other pieces of work and get ideas from elsewhere. Just make sure to put your two cents into the picture!

Remember you’re trying to help someone, or offer some sort of value to the reader, so ask yourself if it accomplishes that in your own unique way. If the answer is yes, you’ve probably produced something of substantial quality!

Don’t outright plagiarize content or think using an article spinner will somehow produce “unique” content. It won’t! While the words may be mixed around, it isn’t unique no matter how you look at it.

People tend to think quality means ‘perfect’ writing. And I agree to the extent that it shouldn’t have grammatical or spelling errors plastered throughout because that certainly takes away credibility from the author. But that doesn’t mean it has to be flawless. It’s OK if your content has a few errors at first. The great thing about writing for your own website is once it’s published you can go back and edit it! It isn’t like submitting something to a magazine or newspaper. Your content is always a work in progress! I find myself publishing articles all the time and going back when I catch an error or find something I want to add. It’s ever changing but at least I have it out there!

It’s also important to realize it doesn’t have to sound like it was written by a scholar. In most cases it’s probably a negative thing to use language that most people can’t understand anyway. You have to think of who your audience is. You want to connect with them and not lose them because they have no clue what you are trying to say.

Write content in an engaging way and use conversational speak.

The casual aspect of it will appeal to the vast majority of people and they’ll be able to connect with what you’re saying, and maybe have something to share on your post as well as share with their family and friends.

The truth is, good content leads to more engagement, and that leads to sharing. Sharing attracts social attention which brings in more traffic, readers and potential sales. This is the QUALITY way of getting back-links to your site. When people share, it creates natural links, which Google looks at in a positive light. These are things that matter today after the more recent Google updates, not 10,000’s of back links that create no value to anyone.

I was just reading an SEO company’s sales page the other day. I came across it from a spam link that got posted on my site. (Now of course I have my spam comments filtered, but occasionally I’ll take a peak out of curiosity). Well, this particular SEO company was boasting about how they’re the first search result of Google for such and such search terms, and they’re “experts” in the field. They were advertising their services for thousands and thousands of dollars. But then when I went to check Google, they weren’t anywhere to be seen for such terms, not even the company name brought up any results! Guess they didn’t really know what they were doing after all.

People need to stop chasing every black hat trick way to get to the top and start focusing on value. It’s the only way to assure you won’t be punished, and that’s what’s going to lead to a lasting online presence.  Google isn’t going to stop liking quality content, so when you make it your own, there’s no need to worry.

If you have to ask what article spinning is, that’s probably a good thing. However, those of us involved in the world of internet marketing are all too familiar with this practice. It’s a terrible idea in this day and age yet people are still trying to use it left and right. Article spinning software is still readily available on the market, and many so called reputable internet marketing training programs are still encouraging the practice!

What is article spinning?

To get around Google’s duplicate content policy, internet marketers started using any means necessary to get away with doing as little work as possible. Article spinning is simply taking an article, whether it’s yours or written by somebody else, and copying it into a software program that will provide you a “new” article. This can be done many times, so the same article can be spun into hundreds of variations.

There’s tons of different article spinning software on the market, ranging from free to rather expensive. The worst ones turn the article into useless garbage basically unreadable to humans, and the very best may resemble well written content. Either way, it should never be done.

But there are several problems that arise from article spinning no matter how “good” of a spinner you use!

• First and foremost,Google recognizes spun content, and you will be penalized for it.

• There are many, many “internet marketers” out there who use crappy article spinners to post the same article hundreds of times across the internet, some without even bothering to modify the article to make sense. This creates a very negative user experience.

• If you’re using spun content to submit hundreds of articles to directories for back-links, Google penalizes sites with too many low-quality back links. If you’re back-linking to the same crappy spun articles, those are seen as low-quality.

• The articles are often times very awkward to read and don’t make complete sense. It usually requires a lot of manual tweaking in order for the article to be somewhat coherent

• Even the most sophisticated article spinning software is still going to output the same article. It’s not going to offer any new or unique information.

• It can ruin your reputation as an internet marketer when people realize you’re spinning content

• Recently, more emphasis is being put on social media attention in regards to search engine placement. No one is going to comment, like and share content that is garbage!

Think about the experience you want to create for the user

Imagine you’re a normal person trying to Google information on something, let’s say, “how to get rid of ants”, yet the only source of information Google is providing you is a hundred different versions of the same spun article someone plastered all over the internet on “how to get rid of ants.” That isn’t providing the searcher with any new or alternative information they may be looking for. These 100 different spun articles on ‘how to get rid of ants” shouldn’t be the only source of information available on the topic, as there are always unique perspectives and solutions to any problem. Yet, a spun article isn’t able to offer a unique perspective, ever.

Google knows this, and has cracked down on it. They WANT to provide a positive experience to their searchers. Its algorithm is a lot more sophisticated than you might think, they can and do detect article spinning. They may not catch spun content tonight, tomorrow, or next week–but once you’re caught, you’ll be punished and de-ranked from search results, and most likely sand-boxed.

Your brain is the best article spinner, and it’s free!

If you’re going to take the time to spin articles, you’ll still have to tweak them manually in order for them to be acceptable (if you care about your user experience). Why not use all that time to just write a new article? There are so many related topics you could write about to provide new engaging information, or at the very least you could re-write the article from a new perspective. I guarantee the content will come out better than any article spinner. And best of all, you won’t get punished for it.

Okay, I just entered that last paragraph into an article spinner to give you an idea of how these things work. This is what it gives me:

If you’re going to take enough a chance to rotate material, you’ll still have to modify them personally to be able for them to be appropriate (if you proper worry about your customer experience). Why not use all that a chance to just create a new article? There are so many relevant subjects you could create about to offer new interesting details, or at the very least you could re-write the material from a new viewpoint. I assurance the material will come out better than any material generator. And best of all, you won’t get penalized for it.

The sad part is, I see content on the internet that looks like the above paragraph in question more often than I’d like to. The next time you read something online that sounds robotic or like it was written by someone who can’t speak proper English, it’s most likely the result of article spinning.

Is that really the type of content you want to encounter when you’re searching for information online? Probably not, and neither does Google!
