How much have you paid for an article?

Recently a discussion in a different thread made me wonder how much webmasters actually pay for articles. Naturally, I already know how much they pay me, and that isn't the point here. I'm currently working toward a webmaster resource and legitimately wonder - what's the most you've paid for a typical article? How did the value of the article (money v. quality) compare to your expectations?

Thanks in advance for your response!

Think the most i've paid in the past was $15, for an article that was about 800-1000 words if I remember correctly.

But really, i'd pay more if it was a really good quality article and/or was longer.

 

I have to say i get articles for free because users on my website use their own google adsense number so they earn good money for it for a long time

 

$5, but that was a 500 word article.

 

Never paid for an article yet. So far I write my own stuff

 

I was paying $5.50 for up to 550 words from need-an-article.net but i got fed up with it.

24 hours have passed by the time your article gets selected. I just write my own now. Once you write a few its pretty easy.

But the main reason i write my own now is - No one knows how I want my articles to be written

 

I generally pay 1 cent per word or a little higher. I have paid 2 cents per word a few times. I am in contact with several writers who do very good work at those rates. I rarely have to edit and when I do it isnt much.

 

Well I normally paying $1 for 100 words. I only paid 2-3 time for articles because I do write myself too so not use them.

 

Paid $10 for 800 words review article yesterday.

 

it depends up on the quality. For some quality press releases I even paid around 60$ for 500 words

 

i pay 1.78$ for 1000 word article.

it good money

you work for me rebecca?

plz?

 

$50 for a 1,000-word article. 5 cents a word... not bad for a quality article.

 

LOL - you bet. You only need $98.22 more and I'm yours.

 

Once my company hired a professional copywriter and paid @60 for a 2000 symbols article. It was really a good article... but they never ordered any more...

 

Never paid for one as of yet, write my own.

 

Writing a 300-500 words article does not take much time. Unless the niche is really technical.

 

look like u very rich

i have idea

i send 2 of my wife and 7 children to your texas. ok you give them food and beer

i thank

 

I've never paid for one, since I haven't run into an article writer that can both write coherent English and have prior knowledge of my niche. I don't mind doing all the writing myself, though.
