I found another one by the same author:

"Curb attract is quite an only the rank of attractiveness your home designs to watchers from the street.This is even more important when selling on your own because you don't have a realtor to hype the interior as worth a looking at.

Is it deserving the inconvenience to place, if you don't have good curb charm? The payback value on exterior promotes to your belongings range from 49% for landscaping betterments to 62% for out home betterments, such as painting."

Yep...your right. Now, don't ever do that to me again! :p

I have my grand daughter here today for a little while. So...I read it to her just to see what a 4 year old response would be.

She said..."huh...NaNa...I thought Jesus (she's referring to god...she still knows him as Jesus) loved us.

P.S. Sorry for the lame post but it was to cute to pass up...and she just made my day.

Actually, I think these pieces may have been written by someone I saw advertising 10 articles for $1. The web site copy was painfully similar.

I would go into more detail. But first, I must move with great progress to my landscaping betterments. Thanks to the god, I am living first-life to keep tandem with out advanced home betterments and that curb attract is deserving the inconvenience to place.

  Article spinners are a both good and bad
  Good because they can provide easy content which is what the Search engines require, but bad, because of the lousy content that can be produced and abused.
  
  It is not difficult to visualise the search engines and the article directories getting pissed and slapping more people around when the technology to identify duplicate content improves.
  There has been some buzz about SLI, which has yet to be proven.
  Till then....

Any more of those articles and we all would have nose bleeds.

I admire the guts of this writer for being still in the writing business. I bet everyone of his clients has contacted him back about the same complaint. Uh, anyway, he'd just answer back 'What's wrong with it?'. And when the client fails to answer (in exasperation), he'd be thinking, 'see, there was nothing wrong with it'.

IMHO, telling them what was wrong with this alleged article wouldn't be classed as proofreading. It would be more akin to an autopsy report... :rolleyes:

Anyways, why would you go for those $2 articles? Go with a reputed writer, it's the best and worth the money.

Oh come now. Sounds like a challenge! It just needs a little translation:

In the modern world, everything moves fast and we have to live fast just to keep up. But because of this hectic pace, our lifestyles can make us fall prey to diseases like unwanted weight gain or even obesity. Being overweight can make life irritating, not to mention being a severe health risk.

But thank goodness! Now there's a reliable, safe way to get rid of unwanted weight and help fight obesity. This wonderful fruit provides a number of health benefits, but the primary benefit of an **** Berry diet is that it will help you lose weight fast. Take a look at how an **** Berry Diet can help you lose weight here.

Not defending paying for horrible writing like that, but for me, rewriting the above took less time than writing it from scratch, since I don't know anything about **** really. I didn't have to think about it, I just fixed it.

It's not great now or anything, but it's readable, and would probably be a good piece to blog for backlinks.

If you have a bunch of terrible PLR laying around (like me) don't give up on it without giving it a shot at a translation. What's funny is that after a while, you can almost READ this stuff if you look at it enough, and you can work through them with re-writes pretty quickly.

I'd be maaaaaad if I paid more than a dime for that article though.

If you have a bunch of terrible PLR laying around (like me) don't give up on it without giving it a shot at a translation. ...

Here's why it matters: This is from another "article" by the same author:

"the Dogo Argentino does not only excel in fields of hunting but in tracking, search and rescue, drug detection, police and military, and family pet as well. Because of its unparalleled intelligence and reliability, this dog is also being used as a guide dog for the blind and service animal for other disabled people."

I challenge you to find a service dog training organization that would recommend this breed for guide dog or service work.

The Dogo is not an all-purpose dog - as the article implies. Nor is the Dogo a dog that anyone should own.

Dogo Argentinos are extremely powerful, very dominant, high-energy dogs, with a high prey drive. The breed also has a high disposition towards congenital deafness (can you imagine a deaf dog leading the blind??). Additionally, like many of the "bully breeds", this breed of dog may exhibit animal aggressiveness at @ 3 - 5 years of age. Again, totally NOT suitable for guide or service work.

So, the article gives crap information. If you don't know the niche well enough, you wouldn't catch the inaccuracy. And you could be passing on information that is false, misleading, and, in this case, potentially downright dangerous.

This is what so many people don't "get" about using below-market-price writers. If you're working for little or nothing, you have to crank out hundreds of these things just to cover your basic cost of living. You simply don't have the time to make sure that your article content has any kind of quality - never mind the writing.

Granted, "curb attract" is not life-threatening. But neither does the piece contain any information of value. Do you really want your name behind crap?

And anyone who can clean up writing that crappy, could write a better piece of filler fluff in the time it takes to read, decipher, and rewrite the crap.

For free.

BTW: The articles are apparently spun using some sort of "Wizard". And you can subscribe to get more of the same delivered directly to your in-box.

You point out a true problem with outsourced articles, but you can just as easily get an incorrectly researched article by someone who CAN write, too - even someone who was paid highly for it. These kinds of articles even get published in newspapers and win awards before they're caught out.

The quality of the writing and the quality of the research are two different issues. The quality can be fixed quickly and easily. The research can't. The only way you can know the verity of the research behind any article you buy, regardless of quality, regardless of price, is by looking it up yourself.

I guess the key if you're outsourcing is to seek out quality sources who can produce consistently and accurately.

I don't outsource content myself, but I do often reuse PLR, which I guess is similar. I don't proof every article for verity, but I think that because I approach all of my niche blogs as an "editor" and because I review lots of content in every niche I go into when selecting it, I think I develop as good an eye as possible for content that's just patently false and potentially harmful.

But that's the best I CAN do unless I want to write it all myself. (Which I don't.)

True words. But you can increase your odds of getting halfway decent content by budgeting for a writer who can spend a little time on producing quality.

It's just that I see people advertising for writers and looking to pay $1 for a 300 - 1,000 word article (outsourcing sites like eLance are notorious for this, and you see some of it here on the WF, too.).

I have to wonder what in the hell kind of article they seriously expect to get for that kind of money. To me, it's not worth paying 1-cent for crap.

Yeah, it takes a little more time to find a quality writer. But it's worth it. Having quality content on your site can make the difference between 1,000 sales and no sales at all.

I mean, it depends. If I got 10 like that for $1, I think the time and brainpower it would save me is worth it. I'm one of those people cursed by a blank page though. I'd much rather rewrite anything than write from scratch.

That's why I also love vendors who provide swipe copy, too. I heavily re-write to make it my own, but I don't have to think at all or review anything or research anything. Of course this is IMHO, and YMMV.

I just find it to be quick to read, translate in my head, re-type. And hey, you end up with something TRULY unique that way.

I think you're being a bit over critical here. That article really spoke to me.

I mean who isn't worn out from this "first moving world" and how isn't living "first-life" trying to "keep tandem with everything around."

I'm pretty sure that's all of us. Yes indeed.

And yes "thanks to the god!" so many of us in our "living first-life" lifestyle "fall prey" to "irritating diseases" like "unwanted weight-gaining".

I know it's "severely affecting" to many of our lifes.

If I was wanting to "loosing weight" I'm pretty sure this article would have worked on me.

Or maybe not.

It's been translated OUT of a language INTO english, and then 'polished' by someone who doesn't actually have very good english. That much is obvious. It may even have been translated OUT of english, into another language and then back into English a la caffeinated content, etc.

With a little research, it might even be possible to track down the original article.

What would be funnier is if you could actually submit that under a pen name and see how much hits it will get. What would be better is if you could apply the entire SEO process there and see it rank in the serps.

If that thing sells something it will be a MIRACLE!

Putting that online will be a good experiment..Let's see if it sells something..coz if it does..then even idiots can really make money online :-)

Then we could make an ebook "Idiot's Method : Make Money In The Internet Even If You're A Dumbass!" -- Foolproof!

Why oh why does Singapore get lumped in with the bunch all the time? I know they are geographically close but contextually so is US and Mexico. I don't go around lumping all Americans as bad cooks if I eat a bad Taco.

Why should it rile you. Peter? And what is wrong with being "lumped with the bunch"? You say "the bunch" (Malaysians, Indonesians, etc, minus Singapore) as if it's a bad thing.Was that your insinuation?

I don't doubt that they're taught English as a first language, and I don't doubt that some of them can smoke you at Scrabble but that does not negate the fact they could understand that passage BECAUSE they can understand the kind of English I was referring to.

That's because the way we (Chinese, Malays, Indians, Sikhs, etc - BTW, I'm Malaysian) speak/read/think have a similar linguistic pattern that has some affinity to the pattern of that passage above.

In any case, whenever I lump Indonesians, Malaysians, Singaporeans, etc.,etc, together, it is out of a sense of affinity. We share a somewhat similar background historically and culturally. I see "us" as "kakinang" (ask your Singaporean friends what that means)

And I will continue to lump them together in a bunch -- as long as the issue in question can generally be conceived to refer to some commonality among them/us.

Sorry you misunderstood lah, was being tongue in cheek. And believe me, I understand what kakinang (my own people) means. I've been living here married to an "Ah Lian" for 10 years!! I am already graduated to "ah beng" myself - leg up at the coffee shops all the time.

Yes I own the article so I can post it where ever I like. And Yes I asked for samples. The samples were okay. And finally part of this was an experiment. There has been a lot of debate whether you can get quality for $2.00 for 500 words. This is the second time I've bought ghostwritten articles (for my own sites not for clients) and the second time they have been bad, really bad. The first was from an individual, the second from a writing service. Both had lots of praise on the threads.

I like the analogy of not being able to see the forest for the trees. As with writing articles pompous words and bad grammar can do more harm than intended. Clean simple language that is easy to follow is key. If the person had read their article out loud to themselves they would have heard how the words don't flow.

One way to test good English that is if you have time is to use windows sound recorder and record the article as you read it (wont take more than 2min). Then play it back and see how the language flows and sounds. This is what people will hear in their own minds when they read an article - obviously in their own voice.

English probably is not the first language of the above writer.

First, I would HOPE English was not their first language. It ALSO sounds like they are NOT Christian, Jewish, or even Muslim!

As for the language, it has LONG been said that you should write so a 13yo American can easily understand it. Although I have hated that assertion, and thought it was generally silly, it is FAR more true in these days, when even people whose "first language" IS English speak POORLY! Of course, that is exacerbated by the fact that we are talking about the INTERNET!

Yes, sadly it is true, even in countries where English is the first language the illiteracy rate amongst adults is horrifying. One of the reasons why maybe due to the lifestyle prevalent in western society - the push button syndrome of TV, video and internet.

50 years ago people would be reading books. None of that nowadays.
Also the media I believe cultivate the illiteracy, tabloids especially where they tend to use very simple English just in case they lose readership.

I could read before I was 5. I STILL remember almost laughing at people in my first grade class(The average age of 1st graders in the US is 6yo) trying to read words. I was reading whole sentences with the intended expression, etc... and they merely parroted words with no meaning as they never REALLY saw the sentence.

STILL, I bet I would not have even graduated first grade if I couldn't read. It would have been a DISGRACE!

ABout 12 years ago I knew a LOT of "teachers"! Even THIRD GRADE "teachers"(average age of 3rd graders, in the US, is 8) said that an illiterate student should NOT be encouraged to try to read, as it might hurt their self esteem!

BTW when I was a kid, MOST tvs and radios had DIALS, but what is the real difference!?!? MOST of the Internet is WRITTEN, and much of that is in ENGLISH! So don't blame the internet.

As for simple english? MOST publications and MANY books do the SAME!

Should we try to rewrite this to what we THINK the intended meaning might be? My guess is:

Even in this day and age, we still have only one life to live, and have to try to merely get by. To do all this can be quite complicated. We still easily fall prey. Obesity and unwanted fat gain are the two most irritating problems that affect our lives.

The article was supposed to be about weight loss and **** berries. I don't want to spend time rewriting it. I don't want to spend time second guessing what the intent was. I paid to have a 300 word article written of decent, not even good, quality that I could post on a blog under a pen name and link to one of my sites. Going in I knew the odds were less than 50:50 I'd get what I paid for. As I said it was partly an experiment.

I was seriously curious, even if I WAS kidding about the challenge. Yeah, I KNOW! Frankly, most **** stuff is used to SCAM, so I am AGAINST it. And I consider obesity to not truly be a problem if it is DESIRED. Although I DO, just BARELY, meet the idea of bieng obese, I am losing the weight because I just DON'T WANT IT! In short, I would not have considered that to be two different problems. BTW if anyone thinks I DID look obese before(I think that unlikely though), I DID lose 50 pounds. After losing another 18, I should be fine in anyone's book.

There ARE products, that many swear by, that are better and cheaper than most **** in other respects.

yes thank you for sharing your hilarious article - it would be great to have a section called the best of Warrior Forum and place that nugget in there!

Thanks to the God! We had a good laugh on Saturday!

Thanks

My goodness. The quality of the article is indeed bad and I personally think that it is not even worth the $2 price tag.

There has been a lot of debate whether you can get quality for $2.00 for 500 words. This is the second time I've bought ghostwritten articles (for my own sites not for clients) and the second time they have been bad.

The world is moving first with great progress in everything and we are living first-life to keep tandem with everything around. To keep everything in order we are bound to live advanced life; but we easily fall prey to certain diseases associated to it, and Obesity and unwanted weight-gaining are the two most irritating diseases that is severely affecting to our life.
But, thanks to the god! A reliable product is around us in getting rid of obesity and unnecessary weight gain problems. It's a wonder fruit that provides a number of benefits to our health. Yes, the diets of **** Berry helps in loosing wait, very first. Let's take a look at how it works in loosing weight.

Thanks for the laugh.

Reminds me of something I got a while back when someone told me you could get good cheap articles at MechanicalTurk. My intro wasn't nearly as amusing as this one. At least your $2 bought a lot of laughter to everyone reading it here.

Maybe you could use it as a test before you hire anyone in the future. Send them the article and ask if they could write something of similar quality. If they don't respond by double checking that you are just joking, you can cross them off your list.

I've received some pretty bad articles myself but this one tops them. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You Get What You Pay For definitely applies here.

I got a huge laugh reading that out to my fiancee in an Indian accent. When I was looking for writers, I couldn't believe that they would even provide sample pieces with English like that. Seriously, what are they thinking? Who is going to hire them if even their sample is written like that?

However, jokes aside, you CAN get cheap, decent content if you look for it. I've seen Steve Crooks mention that he found a native English speaker in the States to write articles for $3.50 or so. I found a South African woman who is a native English speaker who writes me articles for $3 each. She's really professional too!

Honestly, I have to wonder who in the developed world would write for $3 an article (you could make more flipping burgers at McBarf's)!

Thanks

I can not express my feelings when I try to understand the articles. Can not express the pain I got. Really horrible.

If it was written by a human, it makes artificial intelligence look like a definite improvement.

I know what you are talking about with the non-readable articles. I ordered some from a fellow Warrior several months ago and they were AWFUL. Everyone was raving about the quality they got, but what I got was terrible. Asked for a rewrite and those were equally bad. One of my mine even made a reference to "Sylvie Stallone"?? It was a weight loss article, yet they were referencing Sylvester Stallone (I am sure he would appreciate being called Sylvie!)

I watch my dollars carefully, but I guess spending two bucks to give WF a giggle is worth it.
