Comments on: You'll Get More out of a $5 Starbucks Coffee Than a $5 SEO Article http://writing-for-web.com/2008/12/11/the-curse-of-the-five-dollar-seo-article/ Need a freelance content writer in Raleigh, NC or somewhere else in the world?

Here's the beauty of it. I'm not actually buying the<a href="http://www.jasonpedley.com/freelance-online-article-writer.html" rel="nofollow"> $100 - $200 keyword-optimized articles</a>. I'm the person writing them. People use articles for far more than making money off PPC ads. The right article with the right keywords, messaging and angle can drive traffic, get you links from high PR sites, and improve sales. I have clients who buy five articles at a time without hesitation because they know the results they'll get. In fact, one of my clients just had a 1,000% Return on Investment for the last round of articles they bought from me. The articles were for an affiliate site where the product sold costs thousands of dollars. Spending $5 on an article for a $3,000 product simply makes no sense. Nobody can write (in my opinion) keyword optimized* articles that perform well for $5, let alone an article that makes sense. *keyword optimized means researched using Wordtracker, Market Samurai, competitive analysis, Google Keyword Tools and more. So there's far more to a good article than simply writing. Hence the price tag. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. Hi Amanda. Here’s the beauty of it.

How's that working out for you? Do you find yourself profitable? I mean if you rely solely on ads for income, how does that work when you're forking over that much cash per article??? Do tell b/c I truly would love to know. You spend 100 to 200 an article? How’s that working out for you? Do you find yourself profitable?

If you want a $5 article, then you are going to get a $5 article. As we know as SEO copywriters, we take our time and research, edit, revise and then the article is ready. Not this $5 per article wanna-be article S***. Thank you for making the distinction between a $5 SEO article and a $100 or $200 article. As copywriters, our level and standards are much higher; please don't insult us. Good job! :) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
