Content.. Content.. lots of content?

Im working on a new site; its going to be a news/article site.

I wanted to know what would be the best rout to get articles(content)

Should we:

a. write them our selves?
b. Pay someone to write them.
c. Find a company to write them?

I would like to open the site with about 1k of articles, but that’s a lot to right. I talked to another company about doing the copyrighting and they wanted 60 dollars a articles which is just way to much for 400 words an article.

What do you do for that much content?

As a content provider, I can say that US$60 per article is not a bad price for (really) unique article content. We charge about the same...

Your question is about ROI. Which option, doing it yourself or hiring somebody, offers you more? You're gonna have to calculate it, there is no generic solution for ROI issues.

Hi 13vi.

If you want about 1000 unique content articles, you will probably have to sub-contract them. That is definitely a lot of writing, even at 400 words per piece.

I agree with 2k on both counts.

The price of $60 USD per article is not excessive, if you want good quality, well written content. I would consider that a fair price...

As for calculating return on investment of having the articles contracted, or producing them yourself, only you can do that. You know your costs, your amount of available free time, and what you want to recover in terms of revenue.

Have those article written with SEO in mind or your money is down the tubes. WHO does this job is very important. Get samples of their work unless you want to rewrite all of them yourself. Topic selection is critical. There are writers and there are writers.

Thanks guys,

I found out really quick that 60 was low, after some other companies quoted me for 100-200 per article.

I know I can do it, and get the seo I want, but writing 1k worth is just.. lets say arg... I guess Im going to have to sit down and do it.

Once more thanks!

I like to write but it is tough to make good progress on something like this. My method is to block out some time and then do the writing with nothing else interrupting. Dedicated time is the only thing that works for me.

You know what they say....if you want something done right do it yourself! If you wanted crap, simply start up a free article submit....

Hello,

can anyone help me come with Moving content or text.

Pls email if you can help

What kind of articles, what for, whom for? It's what makes the price.

There are some cases where 100 bucks will not get you a single article,
and there are others where 60 bucks will get you 10-20 articles.

Hi,

I do believe that I am the right one for your work. I have the necessary infrastructure to do bulk work (have done it before), can write and research well (most of my clients have been happy), can stick to schedules religiously and meet the exact needs of the project. And of course, my clients can leverage the benefits of outsourcing and give their business that important low-price-edge, of course not at the cost of quality.

Please take some time out from your busy schedule and go through my examples when you can. I can provide you many more examples of both information rich and marketing content.

Thanks for your time.

I am trying to get an idea of how much content my comp has so that i can meet or exceed that amount of content. When i do a simple site:url.com to see how many pages its coming back with hundreds of thousands and when i do ("keyword" site:url.com) it still seems that my comp has hundreds of thousands of pages containing keywords. Can someone help me with a tool or strategy that will help me determine how much content my comp really has and how much content i will need to be competitive? My comp looks like they are using dynamic pages and somehow google is indexing these dynamic pages...my key word is "aurora homes for sale" and the website that is always at the top of all my keywords is a site by the name homes.com and it seems they have hundreds of thousands of pages of content, is this true or are they tricking the system somehow with dynamic data or some other trick? And if so how are they doing it?
