If you ever need articles for a campaign you just want to set up for a day or two and need content but don't want to spend a long time on it, this is for you. This technique won't give you the most amazing articles ready to turn into your teacher or be sold to Associated Content, but it will give you niche specific articles for Google to crawl and help get traffic to your site. By converting an article to another language and then back to English, the content changes enough to be considered original content by google and maintains all of it's keywords to help you target the traffic you're looking for.



Find a few articles in the niche you want to target and that use the keywords you're trying to rank for. Usually going to an articles directory (Ezine, Goarticles, etc.) and searching for your keyword will bring up exactly what you're looking for. Grab the top 2 or 3 and copy them to notepad. Next you want to open up babelfish.yahoo.com and change them to another language. I usually like to use Spanish or French but only because I can read through them still and make sure nothing has changed too crazy if it has trouble converting back(usually it doesn't but babelfish does have trouble with some words).



Next you want to convert the articles back into English. The beautiful thing about this method is that the general meaning and keywords stay in place in the article but it the text itself gets changed to allow you to have original content for the search robots. Anytime you convert between languages some of it is going to come out garbled and need to be re-worked. If you need articles that your audience is going to be reading through with a fine tooth comb, you're probably better off just paying somebody to re-write articles for you.



If your target market will be just be browsing through the articles then you should be fine with just a quick 2-3 minutes fixing any major issues you run across. This method works especially well when you just need quick, dirty traffic that you're just going to through a gateway in front of immediately anyway. This also works EXTREMELY well for stuffing into your meta files so nobody but the search engines can pick up on them anyway. That way you have a full keyword rich article that nobody can see except Google for your rankings.
