Website proofreading service

It's funny you should ask this when I was thinking about how
standards don't seem to apply to the net. Hopefully your idea
would result in some decent business and better web pages
but what if traffic goes down as a result?

This quote was from a few days ago and there was another
saying nearly the same thing in the thread.

"I put the plugin on an old Adsense blog that was barely
breaking even, and started getting articles. At first, I held out
for the "good stuff". Then I said to myself, "Self, screw it. Let's
see what happens when we put some of the so-so stuff up..."

Page views went up, bounce rate went down and clicks started
rising." John McCabe

Someone posted a url awhile back that he put up in a hurry, but
it got a lot of traffic from digg. Formatting was really bad, with
short lines mixed with long ones in the text, and a wrong word
used in the title, which a digg comment mentioned, but it made
money.

I finally got a style manual after a lot of years without one. (Didn't
need it, wasn't writing.) It's "The Chicago Manual of Style" and it
is really good, but a little expensive. I was thinking if we get
together the WF style manual, it would have to start with "After a
period, hit 'enter' twice."

That habit around here always seemed a little odd to me but I
assumed it was me. I was happy to run into a much larger forum
(bikeforums.net) where people use normal paragraphs and I have
never seen anyone use the 1 or possibly up to as many as 2
sentences to a paragraph rule. It had over 7 million posts last time
I checked so a lot of people still do use normal paragraphs, but of
course for sales pages the short one probably are better.

Edit: I posted this in the middle of the night pretty tired and was
a little negative. I suppose professional sites like real estate, legal
or medical might be interested. Craig's list and Kijiji.com have free
advertising with a lot of categories, and there might be a place to
advertise proofreading in them. I have had really good results with
both of them at times, bad right now because the section I use is
swamped with ads. It isn't related to anything on line.

Hope it works out and drives the quality of the sites up a bit. Good
luck with it.
