    I find it difficult to believe that someone skilled in a language, with great knowledge of SEO is able to research a subject previously unknown to them, and create a well stuctured article with all the salient points that will rank highly for less than $10 - In fact I think $10 is WAY too cheap.

    Most writers (and yes I have a journalistic background) would need to put at least 2 or 3 hours into the reasearch, creation, optimisation and final edit of any article - albeit only 500 words.

    Hands up how many Journalists out there want to work for $3 per hour ................. noone?

    I would pay nothing. I think writers should write unique well written articles with perfect grammar for free.

    Oh come on, how hard could it be to create a unique, well researched high quality article? I wouldn't pay a penny for it. I can't see why people would pay 2, 3 or (Gulp) 5$ for those.
