Hello, I see that many people pay to get articles (which I think it;s not seen as a bad practice by Google, or is it? ) written by someone else. My question was probably asked 1 million time again already, how do you check that articles sold to you are unique content? And more, once you paid, how can you ensure that the article will not be sold to your competition also? Regards.
About your first question, you can use copyscape. About the second one, you can never be sure if the article will be or will not be sold to the competition. I gues you have to trust the writer in this case.
Where do you usually hire writers? There is section here, on DP, but I am not sure how reliable are the people posting there. Can you recommend something? I am interested in people writing computer/software articles.
Yeah usually if you copy a sentence or two verbatim from the text and punch it into Google, it should only show up with that article and any social media outlets or re-posts linking back. If you see any other blogs claiming the post as their own, you've got trouble.
Another thing that you may want to consider when evaluating the uniqueness of the articles you are buying and the rights that go along with them. Unless the author specifically grants "full rights" to the content, you may not be the only one to whom the articles are sold. Consider the cost of an article, and then consider if you would want anyone else having that same content. There are a lot of writers who just sell articles on the fly, but serious writers will be forward about the rights that pass with them. Just a word of advice, you should be very observant when buying content from here or any other marketplace. And if you're hiring writers, you should make your terms very clear from the start.
How can you enforce such a contract? He might say he is giving me "full rights" but can sell it again after 5 min. I cannot do anything about it. Anyone can tell me the place where to hire good writers?
I think some people are using some tools to pass the test of copyscape. So it is not one hundred per cent efficiency guaranteed. So, most of the time, you need to check the text make sense at the first place. As using some tools to create post may result in creating a lot of nonsence. Then, checking some phrases onine is a very good way. It is definitely time consuming. So, if you are looking to get somebody else to write post for you. You'd better check their previous writing carefully to see if they do provide unique content and are reliable. Once you find a good writer, stick with him/her. Good Luck.
