Content writters needed
-
Good Morning from 14 degrees C light showers & rain wetherby UK
Ok I'm getting really frustrated with clients inability to ad content so much so its time to go round the problem and find an outsource solution. So my question is please:
1. Can anyone recommend a contnet writting resource
2. Whats reasonable rates to expectThanks in advance
-
Thanks, I developed it myself
-
Uh nice, I know when you get into print and Press Release copy it can become very expensive as it requires a higher level of writer.
Yeah when I first looked at it I thought the UX design was good, lots of white space making it clear and the navigation very clear.
One thing I also noticed was the load time, very quick, which is rare.
-
Thank you, it's only been up a month or so and we're noticing a lot higher conversion rate and stickiness.
We've got a news article each day (coming soon), so I can't provide feedback just yet, but they seem alright, and have some big clients on board.
For the £200/day we got a lot of value for money, it wasn't just online copy

Another nice thing about Textbroker is your ability as a 'client' to re-use the author if you like the content they're producing for you. Therefore, rather than having to continuously re-iterate instructions and 'break-in' a new writer, you can continue building your relationship with someone who has a little more insight into what it is that you do.
-
Another Vote and Thumbs-up for Textbroker.. I think they also recently launched a service where in you can ensure a local/UK based writers. Like with TextBroker US, it's only US based writers.
-
Yeah sure I will send you a message, rather then putting the personal details up.
If anyone else wants the details as well let me know, only UK based though.
-
Could you provide a contact please?
-
Another route you can consider is: www.textbroker.com. I've worked on both the 'client' and 'writer' side and one of the nicest perks as a 'client' is that you can create instructions for the writer to focus on a specific topic, include keywords, links and more. Additionally, if the author fails to meet any of the criteria outlined in the job description, you can request Textbroker to have the author 'revise' their article.
As far as pricing is concerned, the articles are generally priced between $10-12(US) for a quality entry created by a 4/5 or 5/5 ('star') writer.

I've looked at iwriter.com recently. the reviews aren't too bad, but I am yet to use them myself. They have a tiered payment system based on quality of article and writers level.
I've got a few contacts in the music street journalism business so I've approached them. That could be a good avenue for you as well. I'm sure the Music industry in the UK is underpaid as well.
-
That's a real how long is a piece of string question and depends to some extent on the quality, length, topic etc. We have a bunch of writers that can cover some areas and I have a bunch of freelancers I am happy to share if you give me a rough idea of what you are looking for.

Are you just getting copy done from 'content plus' or all round package?
£200 a day must of got you some good copy.
By the way, like your website looks clean.
-
We are about to sign up for a London based company called content plus. We have previously paid £200+/day to outsource a copywriter.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
We use these guys http://buykeywordarticles.com/ on a regular basis for content articles for a number of our sites. There around £4,50 An article and are quiet quick with there response times on requests for more articles.
-
I use a UK based copywriter rather then a online service, find being able to call and email him direct helps get the content write from the word go, rather then getting it, sending back to make amends etc.
With all the research involved I think £25 for 500 words of onsite copy is good, 2000 words £100, job done.
-
No personal experience with outsourcing content creation, tho you might just take a look at: http://www.ghostbloggers.net/ It gives you a good idea about the prices as wel.

Is there harm in publishing too much content, at once?
We are working on catching up with some competition, who has done a much better job over the last few years with content creation. We normally publish 1 article a day but are looking at scaling that up to 3 to 4 articles a day so we can get our content out there to compete with the other websites, in keyword space we currently aren't in. Is there a negative impact on publishing too much content at once? Is there a negative impact on publishing too much content at once? Besides the probable inability to market all of it, I don't see any issues since we will be getting our articles indexed and out there for Google to start building value on them. However, some team members are apprehensive about doing too much at once. What are your thoughts Moz Community?

Another website copying our blog content but credit us. Still bad?
Hi Moz community, A few businesses that we work with are asking if they can leverage our content such as blogs by basically copying it and post it on their site. They will give us credit for the content though. My concern is that going to cause duplicate content issue and hurt us with our SEO? We'd like to provide it to them in a way that would benefit us or at least doesn't hurt us. I can think of a few possible options... 1. Have them only copy part of the content and link back to our site with a link "Read the original article" or something similar 2. Have them implement rel=canonical back to our site 3. Have them just copy the whole thing (because it doesn't really hurt us?). In that case, do we have them link back to us or no? Is there anything I missed? What's the best option for us? Thank you for the help in advance!

Product descriptions, when do they become classed as duplicate content, how different do they have to be?
I look after 3 sites which have a lot of crossover on products. We have 1000s of products and I've made it a requirement that we give each it's on description on each of the sites. This sounds like the right thing to but it's very hard for our content writers to write three different versions descriptions, especially when we have variations on the products so potentially writing unique product descriptions for 4-5 very similar products on three separate sites. We've worked very hard to create unique content deep through the site on all categories, subcategories and tag combinations and along with the other SEO work we've done over the last couple of years is producing great results. My question is now far do we have to go? I'm busy writing some product descriptions for a 3rd party site for some of our products, the easy thing to do is just copy and paste but I want Google to see the descriptions as unique. Whilst all SEO advice will say 'write unique descriptions' from a practical point of view this isn't especially useful as there doesn't really seem to be much guidance on how different they need to be. I gather we can't just move around the paragraphs or jumble up sentences a bit but it is easier to work from a description and change it than it is to start from a blank slate (our products range form being very interesting and unique, to quite everyday so sometimes tough to create varied unique content for). Does anyone know of any guidance or evidence of just how clever the Google algorithm is and how close content has to be before it becomes classed as the same or similar? Thanks Pete

Content Syndication Service
Am curious to get the forum's opinion on content syndication services like SYNND . Has anyone tried them or any other content syndication networks. Does the forum have any recommendations for good quality syndication networks that can be used to distribute content to quality sources.

Does every keyword need its own landing page?
So we're doing a bunch of keyword research. We've identified the big traffic, higher competition keywords and we've identified tons (thousands) of long-tail keywords that would be appropriate. What I'm wondering is: does every keyword need its own landing page (or content page)? Obviously, we'll be building content for all the primary keywords we're targeting. I'm less mystified about that. What I'm more confused about is what to do about the long tail keywords. For there to be any measurable traffic increase, we need to rank well for thousands of long tail keywords. But it's just not realistic to create thousands of quality content pieces to target each of these long tail keywords individually. So how do you go about ranking for large numbers of long tail keywords? I saw somebody post about using an FAQ page to target multiple long tail keywords which makes sense but even with that I'm not going to have a thousand questions. How does one go after large volumes of long tail keywords? Thanks, --eric

Syndicating content with rel=author tag in it
If I have an article with my rel=author tag attached to it, and then I syndicate that article to another web site, should I keep the rel=author tag in that synbdicated article? Basically, what I'm worried about is that there will be 2 duplicate articles with my author tag on 2 different web sites. (I intend to put a canonical tag in the syndicated article so there is no duplicate content penalty) What is the best practice for this?
