    I suggest you keep practicing on writing the articles. Focus on the main points of writing a good article to a crowd of people. the things I usually focus on is of course a catchy title. At the beggining I would explain benefits to the product I'm selling. Then in the next stanza/paragraph (whatever you want to call it) Break down each benefit so it sounds nice, don't sugarcoat it though. You don't promise a million dollars and give twenty thousand. At the end I would give them the "strings attatched part". Usually they are more likely to weight the pro's and con's and buy the product I'm selling.

    Hope it works for you, keep reading around and learn some more.

    @laura90059 I assume the quality issue is language issues?? Hire a writer who is a native speaker for the audience you are writing for. If American audience, hire an American writer. Hiring cheap writing services from foreigners.. well should be self-evident, there will be language issues. No offense to anyone, its just a fact. Also, the old adage "you get what you pay for" applies. Lastly, many "article writers" are spinners. That is, they take existing articles and "spin" them with automated software that replaces words with synonyms and rearranges sentences to avoid being detected as plagiarized duplicate. The results are usually trashy nonsensical writing that a 3rd grader could improve. There is also manual spinning, which is a person rewrites existing articles to avoid duplicate detections (sort of like we all did in high school with our term papers). For serious business owners, these things are no good.

    I know an American born guy who does blog posts and web articles for $15 per. Good price for a domestic writer. PM me if interested.

    Do you spin them by using a software or you manually spin them?
    Do you make unique articles for each directory or you only make some articles and submit them?

    I agree with haveseo. Is there any FREE article spinning software because I'm kind of stuck with bum marketing for now.

    Really? So article directories are exempt from duplicate content considerations? As Spock would say, "That's not logical Captain". ;)

    I really doubt that Google folks think, "wow, these article directories are such a great resource for accurate and authoritative information. The fact that they publish the same stuff over and over must mean it is even more accurate and authoritative!"

    I think its closer to, "Article directories = search engine spam. We need to filter this stuff".:cool:

    Article submitting alone is quite boring grunt work, let alone writing the stuff. Hiring someone to do it is either too expensive (for the good ones) or cheap and crappy. If you want something done right...do it yourself; if you can keep from slamming your head on the keyboard and losing your mind.

    If anyone is planning to write high quality articles and looking to submit them to any other place than the article directories listed, I have just opened a brand new article directory at http://www.articles.com

    Yeah I read that to and everyone seems to be convinced that is the truth but I wonder if Google really lets something like that which is so easy to detect slip by them...

    I have had articles blocked due to duplicate content. (that was hubpages- not exactly the case here). Ezinearticles has the highest CTR, in my experience.
