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.

The etiquette of reproducing someone else's content
Hello - Here is a scenario, representative of something that I just saw play out. Site A is a new blog about travel (as an example topic) Site B is an older, established blog about travel Site C is a new blog launched and owned by Site B that focuses on a particular travel niche (luxury travel, for example) Here is what happens next Site A writes an original piece of content Site C then republishes Site A's content, paraphrasing all of the text, but giving Site A credit with a link Site B (the established site) publishes a blurb about the article, directing readers with a link to "read more" on Site C. It credits Site A as the original author, but does not link to it. If you were able to follow that, here is what I would like to know. Did Site C do anything wrong by republishing a paraphrased version of Site A's content, even though it gave credit with a link? Did Site B do anything wrong by linking to Site C (which is for all intents and purposes the same website), but not linking to Site A (the original source)? My sense is that the established blog (Site B) is trying to get it's new publication (Site C) to outrank the original author (Site A) using its own content. In general though, I am curious to get some thoughts on this situation because it raises a few ethical questions that I am not sure about, namely: Is there anything wrong with publishing "spun" content, if it is done well and links back to the source? Is there anything wrong with linking to a republished version of an article on a sister website, rather than linking to the original article. Thanks

Does aggregating content hurt your moz / google rank?
I have a news section on my site that I aggregate from multiple RSS feeds. They are stored on my site and I have sitemap that links to them. Is this a negative thing to do? Since its overall duplicate content to another site, it may be a strike against me. Should I just leave it as an updating feed and not keep the articles visible on my site?

Content: Best Blogs Article
Hello, For an Ecommerce site, I think a good way to get known is to write a "Best X Blogs" article, where X is a topic in your industry, and then letting the people you link to know about the article. I got the idea from a Mozinar. My question is, how close does the X from above have to be in your niche? For example, if your product is running shoes can you write a "best athlete blogs" article? I'm worried about them reading the article, then leaving. In some smaller niches the topics closest to the product don't have much in the way of blogs out there. So how close to your niche does the Best X Blogs topic have to be?

Emailing content to posterous
Posterous is setup to syndicate my content to my personal WP blog. After reading information on SEOmoz, I realize that Duplicate Content is not a good thing. Should I stop this process? Note: The way it works is I email a post to posterous and it posts it there and on my WP Blog and create a FB post and a Tweet.

Need a referee on article links
I need a referee on an issue. I have hired a company that does a decent job of creating a social presence for our company and its web presence. But the main feature I hired them for was to create and cast articlesinto the social sphere with back links to our main site. This was based on a premise that backlinks still matter. Instead the articles and posts they create are 1) posted on a separate url blog page maintained by them (but branded similar to our brand term) and 2) casts out to other social sites with back links to their 'blog-type' site, not our main site. In essence its a blog off the main url with articles/posts touting our product but linking back to the off site blog. I have requested that all the articles created monthly by them and cast out into the social sphere containe anchor text appropriate hyperlinks to our main site, not the blog type site, and they are resisting. I am willing to make a switch if the premise of creating links to my main site still holds in the SEO world. Their assertion is that it doesn't. They are getting the blog site to rank for certain key words that we also are trying to rank for and the blog site does have links to our site on their site such as an "our website" button. And they do create a lot of social activity buzz with twitter, youtube etc for our brand name. In all i like what they do except in two months they have created 305 back links to the blog and our main site has only 8. When they report they show me all the words the blog site ranks for, as if the main site doesn't exist. But wouldn't best practice still be for them to create the backlinks to our main site, not the blog and worry more about how the main site is ranking, not the cast site? Or has the SEO world changed so much that it doesn't matter. I want to be fair but I am drwaing a line in the sand on this.

Duplicate Content - Video
I recently noticed a drop in rankings for my site shortly after the new algorithm update. I'm not sure exactly why rankings went down, but would like to know if it has to do with having videos on our site that do not belong to us. We have a few videos on product pages that the manufacturer of the product had created. I was wondering if Google maybe thinks we are maliciously stealing these videos or something and penalizing us for it. And if stuff like this has anything to do with the recent algorithm update. We make our own videos, but some of our manufacturer's videos are just better... and they work with us and are glad for us to have their videos listed. Thanks in advance

Ideas for making a mini-content farm more valuable to end users
I run a mini-content farm so to speak - a nationwide computer repair business. We have screened professionals that are specific to one industry. I was wondering if the SEO community would like to offer ideas on how to make this type of site more interesting to end users. What are some things that could be integrated into the site that are 'location specific' that would be of interest to users. I'd like to be able to offer a list of certified, screen, professionals that is searchable by zip code and town. We are planning on showing the quality control rating, as well as current certifications, and a checkbox showing that they were background checked. Customer testimonials are also in the works. Any other ideas?
