I cannot believe the poor standard of article I have on several occasions paid for. If you are going to sell articles you claim to be original, please try to make them in a language that is readable and not one you have made up to pass copyscape! Read these classics - feel free to use them one more for good measure
I have previously raised the issue in this forum but they moved my thread. There is a serious issue with MOST articles being sold here. The majority of writers cannot spell their own names, never mind write professional articles. You should always ask for samples and ensure the sample sent isn't a couple of lines only. Some of the lousiest writers don't even bother writing good thread titles i.e Medical articals for sell... Also some of the non-native English writers have now devised a new way to con people to buy from them and that is by registering Western sounding usernames i.e Trevor Smith, etc... Whatever the case and however much you are going to pay, you are advised to ask for samples beforehand.
generally people willing to work at low costs provide such quality.... Unacceptable by all measures.. SAD
Its terrible! Most our PLR articles redone through a script - Last three people who claim "Native English" "Unique Content" have sent samples of script re-writing gibberish. I went out and found a service that is working out great for me. If you need some quality content and good prices PM me and I will send you their URL. This is not my site but no need to post it for everyone . Check out my link below - hard to tell which ones I wrote and which they wrote - blends in real well.
The problem with a lot of people using article spinner programs is that it churns out crap. I was looking at the blog of a hosting company a few months ago that had a nice, professional layout, but the posts were totally unreadable. It was by far the worst crap I've ever seen online that claimed to be English! I'm willing to bet that the company loses a lot of business through potential customers seeing that as well. It may have been cheap outsourcing, but it's just not worth it.
I have yet to find a writer that surpasses my expectations. So far, the articles I have bought here had to be rewritten extensively. I just want to buy an article and publish it right away. There is a reason I am buying in the first place, because I have no time to write it myself, although I am seriously considering selling my own. Feedback is also useless. I always check first and there are some serious discrepancies. I think this is mainly due to the fact that you get what you give. Honesty is lacking to say the least.
LOL. That's why you must try my articles. A+++ Grade. I also provide samples in .jpg format so you can check the quality.
The main problem is that people want quality content for pennies. Virtually no decent writer will waste his/her time writing for pay that does even begin to pay the bills. So they sell their work elsewhere, where people are willing to pay for quality. I hate to reiterate this, but most times, you get what you pay for. There are some cheaper writers who produce decent content, but most often, they are doing it because they need the cash NOW. Once that need is fulfilled, they tend to move on to greener pastures....
Good replies from everyone. I personally I do not like buying cheap, however sometimes I see some titles that get my interest. My regular writer has taken a regular job now so I need to find a replacement. Also worth noting, feedback does not really count in my experience, as if a crap writer is selling to someone who does not fully understand english they will leave get feedback regardless. If anyone has seen the website www.engrish.com you know where some writers hang out ;-0
winterdiesel successguru ladybugs I don't know if Winterdiesel is still working through this forum. I may find one grammatical error or spelling error in a pack of 10-20 articles, but these authors deliver great work. Does anyone else have recommended writers?
This is so true. I make most of my income writing articles and at times it can be very difficult to compete with the "hi quality Native enlish" writers that offer their services for next to nothing. It's hard for a lot of content buyers to tell them apart; they have prewritten sales pitches that are pretty convincing until you get sent the content. Unless you're writing search engine mush, it's always a better investment to pay for quality writers who'll keep your customers satisfied. Whenever I see a website with a professional design but unintelligible content I cringe. It costs such a small amount more to provide something that keeps readers interested and willing to buy your product. This may seem a little draconian, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to test potential writers on their English skills before allowing them to accept jobs here. oDesk has English tests on its site already. It couldn't be that hard to replicate them here and reward those who pass with an icon near their name or some other forum credential that seperates them from the writers who can barely spell their own name. It'd certainly cut down the amount of submissions quality writers need to make to find work, and the amount of filtering that content buyers have to go through to find quality writers.
I'm new to this (a buyer). I've heard some "writers" are using these online translation gadgets like babelfish (sp?). What these sellers might do (I'm guessing) is translate an article several times, like English-->French-->German-->English. The result is giberish that seems to be on topic, passes copyscape, but makes little sense. So I think there are actually two problems: 1) People who can't write grammatically correct English, and 2) online-translation services. Any thoughts?
Nice!! I might have to go to my trash folder and post some of my "Winners" here for a good laugh. It is amazing that some people can write such great sales copy for the "great" articles, but then the articles themselves are pure jibberish. I don't always go for "cheap" articles as I know you usually get what you pay for, but when the seller sets their price for the articles and it appears to be a good value, I am all for it. Especially when they claim native english writer and good quality. I now do my homework a lot more. I really get concerned when the writers go by a name like "Dave Smith" (made up name) and their Paypal ID id is something like Akamaksuka Ata Engrisa.
The first one is really not readable. I got headache! Next time make better and effective filter. Don't just prioritize on price.
Only thing is you get what you for... If you buy article for 1$ /2$ per article you will get these kind of articles... I guess minimum pay for a great quality articles is .01$/word.... If anyone needs quality writing service, please try us once with 1-2 articles, no need to pay if you are not satisfied with quality...
That is a clear case of a rip off. I won't even pay a cent for that kind of "quality". In my opinion, these kind of writers ought to be highlighted here on their rip-off job. Winterdiesel is a good writer. Only thing is...he's far too busy to cope
