Hey SEO pros, where do you buy content?

Hello!

I have something I want to ask you SEO gurus....you agree that original content is improtant for a good ranking yes?

When you take a SEO contract with your clients, does this include selling them content packages, oriented towards their keywords?

If so, where do you get the content/articles...do you pay writers to do it for you or what?

Thanks

well this thread title really got my attention

I not buy my content i rent it from my brain... he will kill me if i dont pay him with beer...

you can also hire a article writter

My clients are responsible to provide me with the content which is agreed upon before I begin. They can hire someone and I also got a guy who does a great job. I write content but I am not knowledgable in every topic and am certainly not the best writer.

If clients wnat to write their own content (just a maetter of being lazy really) then I discount their links component. Otherwise, I write it.

[QUOTE=seoiscool]Hello!

Where to find good content??? Here are sites I like:

EzineArticles.com (free)
BuyContentOnline.com (free and fee-original and prewritten)
Constant-Content.com (free and fee)
Go Articles (free)
Elance.com and GURU.com (project boards with article writers)
AssociatedContent (free and fee--RSS feeds)

Does anyone know of additional sites for great content?

Hope that helps,

Tina

whoa whoa whoa
steady down cowboy

those sites you just listed arent a good resource for contet,
They are ideal for building dupe spam sites for a bit of link laundering but they are far from great content.

Exactly. Not a place for quality content.

The title caught my attention too.

If you're selling yourself as an expert SEO but don't write content what exactly is it that you do?

If you need quality work I'm a copywriter. PM me if you've got a serious job.

I dont write my text in my websites, and i dont write text for my clients.

I offer marketing deep analisys, and i provide my clients marketing solutions such as SEM and SEO, and for that you dont need any spelling or grammer knowledge. What you need is know how to interact with search engines, also know how the act and plan new and make effective traffic campaigns.

From my point of view its almost impossible to write alot of articles a day and still manage the SEO and SEM for your website. Thats why you hire a article guy.

Our standard package includes content writing (as needed) articles are very general but they do the job. We also have a premium charge for more "in-depth articles". In my opinion a lot of times content writing is necessary, especialy for websites that have very little of it. I try to get the client to help as much as they can which only helps them in the long run.

Uhmm interesting... can you provide some good reference of your work?

Well free articles should be avoided like the plague. Duplicate content is not my idea of proper content. There might also be the addition of rentacoder.com on the projects boards. I am a copywriter and that is the place where I obtain most of my contracts.

Content is indeed still the king and getting some that is both interesting and keyword optimized is truly a challenge.

If you're seriously interested in our writing department send me a pm with some more information.

Actually, on Constant-Content you can buy unique articles. They have three different licenses you can choose from when buying and they have a request system if you can't find any articles that fit your site. Best part is you get to read the article before buying anything.

That surely depends on why Google penalises for duplicate content.

If it is to stamp out blatant theft and spam, then they would probably make allowances for content gathered from sites whose raison d'etre is article distribution.

After all, the blogging world runs on distributed content.
