Could paying for articles get you penalised?

If you pay a professional article submission service to write some articles for you and they put your articles - and all of their other clients' articles - into the same account, is there any danger that the search engines will label these accounts as "bought links" and dismiss them all???

To me, this isn't black hat, and it isn't like buying links - or is it????

 

Highly doubt that you could get penalised for this.

 

No way...! it can never penalize you for this. You are free to use it.

 

I wouldn't worry too much. I'd be more worried about wasting my money if I didn't see my rank improve. Make sure you're actually seeing results from the money you're spending on those articles.

 

Yeah. No way that any authority will penalized you for this. This is just like outsourcing your content from other agency. It's not a black hat because you didn't attempt to fool google

 

There is nothing wrong with paying someone to write for you. You won't get penalised for this, don't worry.

 

Lol! Who said this???
60% of Website owners outsource their work man!
Dont worry about that!

 

No way... How would they ever know?

I write articles in 10 different niches, for 10 different websites and post, using the same account, under the same name, all over the web..

 

I suppose by following adverts in forums like this and then marking these accounts as "paid". I suppose my fear is not so much a penalty as finding that - at a later date - all these links would be devalued????

 

Also, if you are paying someone to write articles for you, make sure they post them to YOUR account. You dont want them posting to their own account, then if you have to fire them they could delete all of your articles to get back at you.
