I promised to answer your questions so here I am.

As you can see I like to give detailed answers so please be patient, I will get around to your question:

The first question is from Tresa, who wants to know more about getting good quality content for her sites.

My hang up currently is getting articles out faster. I have the means to do keyword research, then a software that can bring up relative content to keyword from 100 or more latest Google articles.

I have tried a cheap spinner but do not like the results as it only replaces a few words. I am slow to go when it is to re write this information myself although I prefer it to have control what sentences and what feeling aspect I want the articles to have so that it is not duplicated content and give something of value.

So my question is- Is there a really good spinner that can rewrite several ways and produce many articles that gives quality? I do not mind to proofread and change a few errors.

Or do you know of a reputable author writing service that is very reasonable that I can send the related content to and then they will write from my searched content and keywords? Which I’m sure I will have to proofread and fix a few errors also. This I’m sure will also cost more for a few articles with same keyword than a good spinner could do.

I think a spinner would allow me more control to oversee the content and cost less than a author writing service. Or should I just buckle down and schedule my rewrites and make it a big part of my business activities?

Do you have some insight to article writing? Thanxs. Tresa.

Hi Tresa,

O.K – Articles. When I first started out building Adsense sites I didn’t really have any money to invest so I too was writing all my articles myself. I’m not by nature a writer unless I’m writing about something I enjoy, and when I’m creating Adsense sites, it’s rare that I get excited about my topic.

Like you, I also invested in many different article spinners and I can categorically say now:

PLEASE DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!

Yes there are some cheap ones and also some more flashy varieties with all different types of bells and whistles. BUT, in order to get a good quality unique article you have to spend time with them.

On top of this they are not generally optimized for your target keyword so you have to fit that in too. So by the time you’ve re-written your article, and made it SEO optimized for you Keyword(s) you may as well have written a unique article from scratch. By all means use your tools for research purposes but don’t take it any further than this.

There is one tool I use for some types of promotion and you can check this out here: ContentFX, but if you’re on a tight budget then save your money for more worthwhile things.

FAR better, is to use a good quality article writing service and in my opinion they don’t come better than Need-An-Article.net, (This is an affiliate link by the way). There are a number of writers there who are all skilled in various different niches, and I have never had a poor article returned.

Need-An-Article will cost you around $10 per month and then $5.52 (+$0.50 for long-tail keywords) for each article you have written. If you wish, they will also do re-writes for around $3 per article but I don’t use that service. This is FAR cheaper than any other service of similar quality.

If you do choose this or any other article writing service then here are my general specifications when I ask for an article.

First I specify what style of writing I want:

• Technical
  
• Sales orientated
  
• Chatty
  
• etc…

Then I can point the writer to any resources (such as other articles or web-content I have found).

Then I ask for my target keyword to be used in the first and last paragraph and also sprinkled in the main article body, but NOT more than once every 100 words. This keeps the article focussed and optimized but it won’t get penalized for keyword spamming.

Although I proof-read the articles that are returned, it’s very rare that I have to make any amendments.

NOTE: When your trying to rank in the search engines try and work WITH them as oppose to working around them. Although Google may not recognise multiple versions of the same article it’s not what they are looking for, and if they do spot it, you will lose your rankings. A handful of backlinks from good quality sites with good content is far better than a ton of poor quality backlinks from sites containing poor quality (or lots of duplicate) content.

It’s very common when starting out to wnat to find a few short-cuts, to make what seems an impossible task a little easier but in the end it’s far better to just do it right form the start and you won’t be dissapointed.

I hope that helps Tresa and if you (or anybody else) has any comments or would like to know anything else about articles then please use the comments section below.

Thanks!

John.
