    Neat post about the different types of writers, and what you can expect from each of them at this web writing blog. Also, to educate yourself on Internet content you can also visit Jakob Nielson's site. Both are excellent resources on web content, usability and readability.

    you have to specify what sort of writers you'd like to talk about? Content writers, copywriters? that is a really broad topic! this could be discussed for ages.

    Good blog post -- thanks for sharing it! It defines in a simple way what different types of writers are capable of and what they can do for you. I personally stay away from SEO types who just stuff keywords...bad for business! Better to get a good writer with some SEO knowledge. :eek:

    a good writer should know how to adapt and how to search. usually, the content of a websites has to attract both people and search engines, so combining these two is perfect. i totally agree with Crayzee, better choose a good writer that can easily mention the keywords you need.

    Yup, Crayzee, there's way worse out there. In fact, compared to the garbage that's out there, the sample you cited isn't too bad :).
