I'm curious what people are paying when they outsource content writing. I'm thinking about outsourcing some writing. I'm looking for the best quality content on the web, nothing medicore or average! What do you guys pay?

sorry EGOL, missed your post somehow. Thanks for the reply

Nice analysis

Best on the web?
Your costs could include: content area expert, editor, photographer plus money spent on props and perhaps travel, data acquisition and analysis, graphic artist to illustrate.
A several hundred dollars on the lowest side for something that the author can write off the top of his head and supply photos from his personal collection.... several thousand dollars for something that can be done without much research and travel.... to a boatload of cash for something like a great National Geographic article.

Hi Peter,
In addition to topic (sometimes), what I mean is the nature of the content can affect the costs - for example: press releases, blog posts, landing page / sales copy, website info pages etc.
For a 1,000 word article, we would likely charge around £75 mark.
Thanks

That doesn't even make any sense...?
Obviously there is a line between creating mediocre copy yourself and hiring an experienced professional writer that understands human reading behaviour, website usability, targeting different mindsets and implementing the necessary to maximise the potential of said content being found.
Specifically requested was "the best quality".
It's relatively simple to check if content that has been created for you has been copied from elsewhere online (which is what I presume you mean by "duplicate").

Hi Geoff, thanks for the reply. Personal finance, money saving etc.
Oh yes, I'm aware of the cheap ones that produce horrible content, this is not appealing at all. Typically what would you charge for a 1,000 word article?
-
What type of content is it? This could essentially affect the costs.
We provide copywriting / content creation services and for high quality copy, hourly rate would be about £25 or quote can be provided on scale of project. There are hundreds of low end, low quality article writing services of course that are from as little as $5 per 1000 words but as with everything, you get what you pay for...
I appreciate that doesn't directly answer your question but as a provider, though it might be useful to chime in.

Nothing. All made by myself = no duplicate. You can't be sure that your content will not be duplicate.

Community Discussion - Should low-cost content providers be seen as viable options for content marketers?
Hello there, In the latest YouMoz post, "Case Study: How We Gained More than 100 Links for a Travel Website via Content Marketing," Tom McLoughlin recommends an idea for content creation that is sure to elicit strong opinions from all sides: "Websites like Fiverr and Upwork are fantastic resources for finding freelancers who do great work. It simply takes a bit of initial time to sift through and separate the wheat from the chaff. Once that’s done, give the freelancers a detailed brief and tell them exactly what you want." What's your opinion? Have you had good experiences using these sites? If so, what have you found as the keys to making the working relationship a success.

Duplicate Forum Content
HI everyone, great to be here, absolutely loving everything, please go easy on me I'm quite a noob when it comes to seo, but hopefully my question isn't too basic. After running the initial checks on my websites, I found there are 7,646 duplicate pages? Some are easy fixes but the majority are not, being forum pages, the edit, quote and new post links are coming up as duplicates of the main post? Does anyone know how to fix this? Best Lee

How often should content be updated
With all of Google's recent algo updates (or ranking updates, whatever they're calling it now), we've obviously been looking into changing our content strategy and shifting it from quantity to quality. How often would you say is ideal for website content updates? i.e. should we be updating once a month? Once every couple of months? This isn't a blog - just a regular services-oriented site. My take on it is that it should be as often as organically possible - and that means something different for everyone. At the same time, we want Google coming back frequently to crawl the site. Thanks!

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.

Wordpress hacked. Entire content wiped out
Someone hacked my Wordpress site, wiped out all my content and changed my login status to a subscriber. Years of hard work gone, I can't log in to fix anything. Is there anything I can do. Is there a way to prevent this from happening ever again. Is there a way to catch these people?

New Content
I am looking to add new content to pages that I currently have on my website. The content on these pages was taken from another provider and my idea is to rewrite the content to make it unique. Because it is duplicate content, these pages don't get much traffic. Should I add the new content to brand new urls or just change the content on these (already indexed urls). The issue has seen these pages contain duplicate content. If the content simply changes, will it recognise these pages as having unique content?
