Warrior vs Warrior - Article Writing Services Review
I recently tested two article writing services prominently promoted in the Warrior products section: 99 Cent Articles and Creative Content Writing.
Both advertise similar services, offering to write articles for about a buck per hundred words.
On July 1st I made identical orders to both services for 10 articles. The topic was intentionally obscure to make sure no one could write an article 'off the top of their head' without doing research.
I provided both services with a list of web pages where information could be obtained to write the articles with the requested keywords.
As part of the order I also indicated that the purpose was to obtain website content and that instead of 10 articles of a set number of words, that one long document could be provided broken out into sections so that one article could be 150 words, another article 400 words, etc.,. Thus, the writer did not have to try and force each keyword-topic into a fixed number of words.
(Aside: I find that offering writers this option results in better articles. Nothing worse than an article full of extra generic words just to meet a fixed keyword number limit, or a good article that could have been great with just a hundred more words. And for this obscure topic I wasn't sure articles of the same length for each keyword could be created.)
Ordering Process:
99 Cent Articles had the clear advantage.
The 99centarticles.com is very easy to use and the order was quickly submitted. CreativeContentWriting.com was cumbersome, required that an account be created, and separate emails be sent by me regarding the order - which was not easy since I have a separate computer dedicated to email.
CCW immediately sent me 6 separate emails confirming creation of an account and submission of the order. 99cent needed just one email to send a confirmation link regarding the order.
Now that the process has been completed, it is apparent there is no purpose to creating a CCW account.
Article Delivery:
99 Cent Articles again had the advantage.
Despite the July 4th holiday, 99cent provided the articles on July 8th - via email.
The articles included the author's identity - who I was able to confirm with a high probability is a US writer.
On July 11th I received a mysterious and short email from CCW saying my order had been "activated." Checking my online account I found nothing. Nothing was attached to the email. So I sent a support request asking where I could find the articles.
No response to the support request has been received.
On July 13th CCW provided the requested articles - via email.
Following Directions:
Both 99cent and CCW did an excellent job providing articles on the requested keywords. The articles were not keyword spammed, yet also made sure to naturally use the keyword a couple times in the article.
99cent provided one long document containing keyword topics of varying lengths.
CCW provided 10 separate documents, each a fixed number of words.
Article Quality - the Bottom Line:
Both 99cent and CCW provided EXCELLENT articles.
I checked a couple, but not all, articles with CopyScape.com. CCW came through clean. 99cent had minor references where several words in one sentence, and a couple more words in the same paragraph matched one of the research websites.
Both 99cent and CCW had great readability. And were interesting to read. I would give an edge to CCW for creativity in writing. On the other hand, many of CCW's sentences were extremely wordy. For example, using commas, semi-colons, etc., to create one sentence that is long enough to be a paragraph.
Recommendation:
Both 99 Cent Articles and Creative Content Writing have my recommendation.
I have plenty of great content to start a website. If I just wanted articles to submit to article directories, these articles are better than most articles I see.
Although the keywords given to each service were identical, the resulting articles are anything but. I'll probably pick some articles from each to use for website content and use the remainder for content to use on backlinking sites. If anything, this little competition showed the value of using multiple services create content.
