How To Find An Outstanding Content Writer

Tips on finding a writer to contribute to your website.
You've bought a domain name. You've haggled with your website designer but now your basic site is nearly ready for prime time. So, what are you going to put in its pages?

Most sites have four basic pages: Index, About Us, Contact us, and What We Offer. To get more customers, site owners realise they have to get more content. This is commonly software, video, images or articles. It's article commissioning we'll be talking about here.

Writing articles is the quickest way to get more traffic and thus more clients. You put up an article about your widgets. You can have sales pages, reviews, how-to's and technical specs. Customers like these and search engines do too. You're showing that you're an authority on what you're selling.

So how to get some good articles done, fast?

Answer: Hire a web content writer. Preferably one who knows SEO (search engine optimisation).

It's no good having great articles unless search engines can also grasp that you are a market leader on what you're selling. So a writer who knows SEO is important. He can make sure your article has just enough keywords in it to rank for its topic but not so many it suffers an over-optimisation penalty. What's that?

An over-optimisation penalty is where a search engine thinks the site owner is trying to trick it by cramming a web page with keywords. So it pushes that page to the back of its search engine results pages (SERPs).

So, where to locate such a writer?

Answer: Via forums, search engines and freelance websites. _This_ site can probably rustle up a few, too!

Freelance sites are especially useful as they have ratings of writers. The more happy customers a writer has, the better his ratings. But be careful! Many SEO content writers are used to churning out 'filler' articles. This is what their clients want. These are bland articles which fill up a page with flannel about a keyword but read poorly. They're dull. They don't get the reader squirming in his seat with excitement.

This is not the writer's fault. Many site owners got the notion that 300 articles, on 300 keyword subjects, were a better option than 30 great articles on 30 choice keywords. And they were. For a while.

The problem is Google is getting better and better at sifting the wheat from the chaff. It's looking as user behaviour. If visitors only spend 2 seconds on your page and click away, that doesn't look good.

For long term profitability, you need great articles.
