ArticleChanger Review: Don’t Bother
From time to time I get requests to review a website or product. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. This time I will.
ArticleChanger is a website that promises to rewrite your articles for you. Cool. A real time saver, right? Wrong! It’s a total waste of time.
I went to the website and entered yesterday’s Blue Chip Marketing blog post into the article box. This is what I got back:
If you live in Minnetonka, Minnesota then you have a second chance to attend Caroline Melberg’s Biz Blogging Basics coursework for $50. Most experts would charge $100 per hour, but you’ll get 3 hours of expert knowledge for $50. Here’s what you learn in Biz Blogging Basics:

For more information about Biz Blogging Basics head over to SocialWebTraining.com and look for it on the calendar for August 7.
You’ll notice that it’s almost verbatim. I only found one word that was changed in the entire article: “course” to “coursework.”
If your goal is to avoid duplicate content then you won’t even get close to achieving it. But generally I would avoid these types of products anyway. They are seldom helpful. I only tried this one out of curiosity and it only cemented in my mind the preference I already had: Write your own articles from scratch!
