    Thanks Rebecca! As you obviously know, there's a big difference between cheap articles and quality articles. Cheap articles may net you a little more traffic from the search engines, but once the visitor starts to read the article they will realize that it has very little actual substance to it. Think about it, if you're paying someone $7 to write a 500 word article, they're not going to take any time to research the subject or give the article more than a passing thought. Instead, what they're going to do is simply open up their word processor and type the first thing that comes to mind. For $7, who can blame them?

    In contrast, hiring a high quality writer insures that your articles will be well thought out and researched, giving your readers an informative piece that will demand their attention. These expertly written articles also generate natural backlinks, since your visitors will be more likely to recommend your site and specific articles through forums, Myspace, e-mail, Digg, and other viral forms of word of mouth advertising. The end result is a site full of informative and authoritative articles, each of which will rank highly in the search engines and thus generate steady, targeted traffic.

    Anyone who is serious about building a truly successful website or blog should start by writing or purchasing premium, high quality articles. Cheap articles are just that, cheap and poorly written; but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. That’s why I recommend you pay for something worth buying. If you’re ready to take your project to the next level, post here or PM me right now.

    Ha! Looks like you are not aware of the changes the world has undergone. Cheap prices necessarily mean affordable prices but not necessarily poor quality. Cheap price, in my true opinion, upholds principles and ethos of frugal life styles which is facilitated mostly by the writers' cultures and places of living. A good writer living in a low cost country need not charge as much as a cheap/ordinary writer of USA or UK.

    What pains more is the way the prices are being linked to quality and vice versa. They are not; don't we know that prices reflect much more than just quality? More than anything else, prices reflect your comfort level with marketing, your reputation, your needs and of course, quality. If someone makes a living by selling quality products at premium rates, so be it. Everyone knows that whosoever the sellers may be, buyers are almost always from US and UK who know what harm buying poor articles can do to their businesses.

    Surely, I have seen more writers raising their voices against poor quality than buyers have ever done. Let's vow to refrain from 'unhealthy' marketing tactics (ironically, it is the US writers that are earning the top dollars). Let's get as much aggressive as we can but without muddying the market.

    American writers generally get paid "top dollar" because they write with proper grammar and a natural voice that people like to see while reading articles. Unfortunately, most writers who use English as a second (or third or fourth language, etc.) just can't compete against the flow of a naturally fluent writer. I've taught English and studied at an international university. At my university, which had students from Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, the Philippines, Singapore, Korea, Germany, Russia, Nepal, Togo, and several other countries from around the world, not one of them could produce flow in their papers.

    The only fluent English writers that might be charging lower rates are those wanting to build a fast portfolio, or living in a foreign country with low overhead costs (like me). Otherwise, I would say price does reflect quality. I could never spend an hour researching and then writing a 1000 word article if I was only getting 10 dollars.

    I have no arguments about charging a premium for good quality products. I am opposed to the particular remark which goes like..."Instead, what they're going to do is simply open up their word processor and type the first thing that comes to mind. For $7, who can blame them?". This is an absolute rubbish in my opinion. I am a writer that charges less for his work but not quite so in my opinion and by all other aspects which have a say in costing a product.

    I support this person, no one has the right to say anything against other writers, if you think you are good, then provide people the service and let them decide, dont go on parading your excellence all around and insulting others...

    No offence, but i have writers who can deliver much better content than the ones mentioned above and our prices are half of the above mentioned prices.

    And i have seen this haapening a lot on DP now, one member posts his/her thread, there is someone to ridicule it or to make it look like God. The purpose of offering service is totally finished.

    anuj291 is speaking my mind.
    I have always held that DP is an open forum and we all discuss issues concerning all of us. But posts such as this one carrying derogatory remarks don't actually belong to public forums where we discuss the 'how-tos' of business building.

    Actually there was no need for the thread beginner to take that stance when it was perfectly alright by anyone for him to sell at whatever price. Even the reason for his remark is not the "most hardest" one to guess. All I can say is - cheer up man, this is market and this is the way it is.

    Proper grammar? Natural voice? I don't think you meant this...

    Illegal interchanging of similar words such as their and there and your and you're. I haven't seen this being written by UK, Australian or Indian writers but by US writers. You can comb the internet to find any number of this type of examples easily. I am not raising my voice against claims of quality but the way it is linked to price and the way the thread starter has attempted to ridicule cheap writers.

    If he thinks he can hike his price by spreading misinformation, I have a suggestion to make to him. He can buy quality work from me at cheap prices and market them to keep all the profits for himself. Why not?

    Hey, I appreciate everyone's philosophical opinions on ethics, I can understand the view points expressed here, as well as the counter arguments. All of that is great and everything, but this is a sales thread and such discussion doesn't belong here. In fact, I could go so far as to accuse Alevoor of being a competitor who has only posted in this thread in order to smear me, his competition. :D But seriously who cares, let this thread die. It's an old sales thread which someone only recently bumped and has turned into a flame war in my absence since last checking this thread on Apr 20th 2007. I rarely have time for content writing anymore and have no interest in doing any, so mods feel free to lock this thread.

    Excuse me, the world knows who is smearing whom here. You are cleverly ignoring the point I pointed to in all my threads which very well explains why I posted here. I really feel sorry you didn't choose to answer it. And as for competition, my market is different than yours and as long as I deliver what my clients look to get from me I am happy to live there.

    Most Americans I know spell definitely as "definately" and grammar as "grammer". Uh, so I think being an American doesn't give you the right to lord over non-native speakers who know what proper grammar is.

    I don't really want to get in on the argument about ethics here, but I prefer British writers simply because they actually use correct spelling, such as "colour" and "favourite"...

    Mods, please close this thread. The original post is for services I no longer offer. This thread was relevant a year ago when it was created, not earlier this month when someone bumped it.

    I don't know what your arguments are because I don't care and I didn't read more than a few sentences of your posts. How clearly do I need to spell this out: I do not offer content writing services anymore. Now do you see why I could care less about responding to your points? None of this matters to me, except for the principal of the matter that you felt it was ethical to hijack someone's thread for your own self promotion while attempting to smear the original poster for their sales copy.
