Why do ppl pay $2 $3 per unique copyscape passed article

The articles are not usually directly responsible for earning. Uniqueness is vital in SEO so lazy web masters will pay for articles just to fill up their sites for SEO purposes. But there are obviously other uses, this is just one of the more popular things to do.

 

But, if the webmaster picks the right writer, all of those aspects of SEO in regards to content creation can be achieved.

Great find...maybe

I wish there were more clients like you on DP. Back in June nad July I was making $15-$25 dollars per 500 word article (depending on the niche). This month there seems to be so many people charging .005 cents per word, that webmasters are buying cheap content. I created one thread in the BST forum today. At that time, the entire first page was full of people offering content creation for .01 cent per word and LESS. That is tough to break through!

 

I honestly can't believe that people actually buy that $0.01 and less per word crap.

Who's business model would actually allow for that sort of crap

 

I tried an article writing guy from DP the other day who had high iTrader ratings. WOW did that article SUCK!!! I am not sure if I will ever pay for another article. The most incredible thing was that there were words misspelled which is amazing to me. Not one word but sevral. Sentences did not make sense and at one point the article asked for people to use cement which had nothing to do with the actual topic lol.

It cost me $4.00, I almost gave the guy a bad rating but decided to just leave it alone. I don't think it is worth paying for articles just to get disappointed. I should have asked for my money back!

 

I actually bought some .01 cent per word and under articles from a few different writers for my affiliate blog. I couldnt use one of them! I cant believe people use those articles. From what I gather, when people read those articles, they judge your competence by how well the article is written. If your articles are full af grammatical errors and make no sense, it seem like your visitors would exit your site.

 

I can not disagree with you more strongly on this point.

Content has never been and will never be over saturated. Certain niches may be, but you can't talk about the whole web in this way.

Even in an over saturated niche if you write the best quality articles you will excel over your competitors.

Also, there are constantly new niches appearing or existing unexploited niches that you can start a website in.

 

In the future, ask for a test article. When I write for a new clien I write one article on their topic, then submit it to them for approval. If they like the article, they will ask me to go ahead and comlpete the rest. If they do not like the article, or my style, then they are only out one article. But, I include a portfolio and resume in my threads promoting my services. That way you know what you are getting before hand.

 

The key to over saturated markets is....long tail keywords. Take niches like weight loss. That is as saturated a market as you can find. But, if you target segments of the niche, you can capitalize by shifting your focus to targeting your market better.

 

It really is not worth buying $4 articles. I know three year olds who can write better.

 

I have to agree with you due to my experience. The surprising part is that the person who wrote my article had a ton of iTrader positive ratings. I still can't believe the mistakes made on my article.

 

This has happened to me before. I ordered 20 articles and when he sent me the first 5 I just could not pay him. I don't think even one sentence made sense and it would actually be more work to fix them then to just write the articles myself.

 

iTrader is definitely not an indicator of a person's writing ability. Look at the comments and you'll usually see something like "GREAT SELLER!! A++++++++!!!" Those comments say absolutely nothing about the quality of the product that's received, just that the product was delivered on time.

Then, people who do realized they've been shammed don't leave negative iTrader for fear that it will be reciprocated. It's a terrible cycle.

My iTrader is like 4. That's because I don't do a lot of deals in the BST forum. Most of my work comes from referrals or people who've seen me comment in threads. So anyone who's using iTrader to decide to hire me is missing out.

If you want a good writer and you're willing to pay for one, the best option is to ask around. Forget about cheap content writing services - you get what you pay for.

 

interesting oppinion

 

I think the problem is that people use these $4 articles as links back to their sites only.

They get a crap article written and then submit it to hundreds of article directories (with no standards obviously) with links to their sites included. They really don't care whether it can be read easily or not.

In my honest opinion - don't purchase articles for less than $15 and never pay until you are satisfied.

 

Looks like this thread has become more of "not getting the value good writers frustration".

But I was asking help from marketers not writers.

Shakes Pear Novel is million dollar worth.

But as a marketer. Who cares for shakes pear writing? Marketer just want those search engine visitors and some how get them on the landing page. Rest you know the story. If the landing page is good and a convincing product. It will sale. Otherwise ..

Sorry I know lot of writers and good writers in this thread. I respect all. Even when i was 15 years old i used to write at local newspaper and magazines for kids. I became pretty famous at young age for my local language commandment. But do you know what. I went to over 17 Print Press publications of leading newspaper and magazines for a temporary writing job(before that i was giving my content for free to gain reputation). I just asked them to pay me good for my work. But they said the market is over saturated. Lot of writers already giving it free or cheap. Why should we pay you? We can pay you like 50 USD month if you do it full time (my local currency it was not so much a office peon salary). I was so frustrated but i agreed.
After some time i saw my stories poems articles etc are modified by some more persons to make it catchy to the readers. Like to gain attraction. I asked who is this person. They said they are in marketing and promotion section. Some are creative head. Oh my!
At the end the kids section got popular. And the newspaper and a magazine of them got popular. More and More people like me was sending content to them. Free content. I saw writers are nothing but playing cards of the publishing house owner and marketing department. Lastly they tried to force on me to create content in their way. From that time i decided to quit writing for ever. And just started to thing like a business man and a marketer. I felt that anything can be stolen and modified. And who knows who the real author is. If it made profit its good. If not then even its shakes pear its no value.

So now you know the story. Actually the writers in dp who are selling $2 items. Are some what profitable for most FOX and Con marketers. And the writers who are selling it for $20 USD. Are actually gonna have no work in future at least in digital point flea market..

As a marketer.
People think like this

they research low comp keywords 200 to 500
they make a attractive landing page with help of the affiliate company and a designer.
they get the cheap $2 articles.
they modify it as they wish to attract the visitors. Add pictures. even videos. Edit and do something catchy.
and hit the article directories and social sites.

Bam 10 visitors per article 2000 to 5000 visitors to their landing page.
Now rest depends on the landing page.

This is what the articles are used for. Not as site content. But as a medium to bring traffic to the landing page.

 

And people are going to read this and say "WoW I want to go to the website for this article!"

 

If you have two web marketers, one who works hours every day trying to manipulate a zillion sites to rank better in search engines, get more visitors, and trick more visitors into clicking ads etc. and the one that works hours every day trying to build a site, a brand, and a repository for unique and engaging content - the later will always do better in the end.

Content is king. If you are looking to make a quick few bucks from a "cool.com" type web site, go for it. Don't buy content. But I guarantee that as the years pass by, you'll be putting more and more effort into trying to manipulate the system. The ones who have built a solid site based on content will ALWAYS be loved by the Googles and the Yahoos and will likely be sitting back.. putting less and less effort into a site with a constantly increasing payout.

 

that's true... you get what you pay for most of the time
of course, it depends how you are going to use those
articles. Knowing that, you can find out if it makes sense
paying more for an article.

 

If quality is the same, why pay more?

 

There is no way some one charging $3.00 for a 500 word article is anywhere near the quality writer as some one who charges $10-$20 for the same article.

Quality is NEVER the same!
