    First question is okay but please elaborate the next question. Is it copywrited or copyrighted? Well, copywriting is to make research on a particular topic and then, write the well organized content.

    "Copyright" is a legal concept giving the writer exclusive rights to what they have written."Copywrite" is something entirely different.

    And to clarify further, generation masses of content is not copywriting. Copywriting is writing those things that a business uses to sell product, from sales letters to press releases to print advertisements and slogans.

    This forum covers both areas of marketing - copywriting and content writing for online marketing.

    Copywriting is writing in a way that is meant to persuade someone to buy something/fill something out. Any site that sells a product or uses CPA advertising needs copywriting.

    Since you are really asking about Copyright not copy write, Copyright is a legal concept wherein you will register the content of your original work for your exclusive rights or ownership

    Hello dear,

    Search Engine Optimization Copyrighting is known as writing for search engines. Basically it is a new type of writing, such as writing for the web. SEO copyrighting is writing content for a website that both makes sense to the reader and includes keywords to make the website pages rank well in the SERP (search engine results page ).This does not mean that you take the original copy from the website content and then just add a bunch of keywords in between wherever you like.

    Thanks,

    I think that if you are showcasing your work online you should copyright it.

    Copy writing is copy- it is the content/writing that a writer provides. That's all their is to it- it can be divided into subsections, such as SEO optimized text, articles, and sales copy. SEO text tends to be on the low pay scale, articles in the middle, and the truly lucrative writing is sales copy for businesses. The pay scale is linked to the amount of skill, time, and research needed for each type of copy writing.

    Well, there may not be a consensus in this thread about the exact definition of copy writing, but I have at least a general idea of what it is. Thanks.

    Writing must be deep. not just change the words in some places, and change the entire design

    When something tangible is created, be it a web page, a book, music, movie, photos and other artistic or intellectual works, it has automatic basic copyright protection. Without filing with the US Copyright Office, you cannot actually sue someone for damages. Copyright gives the original creator protection and exclusive rights to their published or unpublished work. They may choose to grant usage rights to other people.
