Is Fiverr Legit? Is Anyone Using Fiverr for article creation?

Then, be ready to face Panda's fury

^^ ditto. You definitely get what you pay for, but if you don't care about the quality of the content and just need the content itself, fiverr is a great resource to get articles, videos, etc. made for marketing campaigns.

Really?

The Gig says they'll pass copyscape and a google test. We shall see

I was going to use them for article sites anyway. Ill run them through copyscape myself before publishing them.

For $5 just see what you get the worst case senerio you have a some bare bone articles to build on and you don't go for something like that again. Most people would skip it I think. Does he have any feed back? Is he getting orders if not its probably not going to work. Best thing to look for at fiverr are active gigs with feedback thats good. Theres a plr book for sale in the WSO Section called all star fiverr its really cheap and will give you some good gigs to check out for article writing.

I know there is a lot of threads about this and I will say this again, 99% of fiverr gigs relating to IM is fake and will damage your site. $5 might seem like a good deal now but once the big G slaps your websites you will waste couple hundred trying to fix it, so it is definitely not worth it. The only gigs I will recommed is banner designs etc. Good luck if you choose to do that gig.

the question is - what can we expect for 5$? i truly don't expect 12 great articles, that is impossible to offer if you are not going to deliver something automated. so to be honest, i wouldn't get my fingers on it but byte the apple and write myself. i know we all are tried to go the easy way but for me, more often than not, the easy way was time consuming and resulted in me doing it again myself.

I tired one gig for content creation and to be honest I was really upset. You're better off hiring someone from the forum to write your content or do it yourself.

I got one article from a VERY highly recommended article writer on Fiverr and will never do it again. It was junk, which, to be honest, I kind of expected, but I was taken in by the glowing testimonials and the copy on the ad.

I think Fiverr is fine for stuff like video submission and so on for links, but will never use them again for content.

I buy articles there sometimes. I would say about 90% of what you will get is garbage though. I use it if I need a junk article that I don't care too much for.

Just be realistic about what you are getting. If someone is offering you 15 articles for $5 or 1,500 words for $5 then you're probably going to get a load of rubbish. However if someone is offering 300-500 words and there is evidence of repeat business (i.e. the same buyers returning for more) then the chances are you'll receive good content.

Hope this helps.

Yes, this is Fiverr's motto!

But seriously, no matter where you go online, you get what you pay for. Remember that sellers on Fiverr only take home $4 per order...If they're offering something that should be worth more than $4, chances are they're not actually offering it.

You may feel like the worst-case scenario is that you light a match to a five dollar bill, but in an age of "unnatural linking" penalties, Panda updates, negative SEO and more, this is just wishful thinking. I can virtually guarantee you that this seller is stealing another writer's original material and running it through an automatic spinner to escape copyscape. I can also virtually guarantee you that the "passes copyscape" claim made in the ad is a blatant lie.

So, the worst-case scenario is not that you're wasting five dollars… The worst-case scenario is that you're supporting piracy and shooting your rankings in the foot by letting these articles get anywhere near your money site. It's a waste of time, an unnecessary headache, and risky business.

Remember, one of Google's primary goals is to punish the use of content like this. I understand that you've already paid for the gig, but in the future I strongly recommend against purchasing content on Fiverr. Especially when there are plenty of Warriors who would love to write for you! *wink* *wink*

fiverr.com is ligit, however, the people who try to get the gigs is another question.
I have used them and so far I have been very happy.

I've actually purchased quite a few articles and also some article rewriting gigs from Fiverr and they are pretty good considering the price. But mind you, the gig that I purchased is only for 1 or 2 articles of 400-500 words, not the 12 articles for $5 gig that you mentioned.

From what I understand, if you purchase the 12 or 15 articles gig, you will usually get some PLR articles with some sort of special coding on the articles that make them "look" like they are unique and copyscape-proof. But with the recent G-slap, I think it will only take time for Google to finally catch up with this thing.

Article writing is more like advertising. We believe in unique and effective content. So choose some other quality author outside Fiverr.

My experiences have been terrible even with the filtering and review check.

My results: the fiverr 5 dollar 500 word article, reads like a fiverr 5 dollar 500 word article.

There is a product on the market called spin-rewriter you get a 5 day trial, check it out, it is the best spinner i have ever used, choose a couple of articles, put them together and use the spinner, it really is very effective and the results are 98% unique while still being about 70% understandable, spend 15 min to correct that and you have a beautiful article in the same time it would take to make pasta.

Who is offering that service, I would be keen to know, as you say, too good to be true

12 original articles for $5 is probably junk.

There are a few good writing gigs in Fiverr, among many that are not so great...

I have used Fiverr for article writing a few times but was disappointed each time. After trying out many freelancing sites I outsource my needs for articles and Amazon reviews on the Warrior Forum only.

Use the search feature in the Warriors For Hire section and look for American or other English-speaking writers who write articles, Amazon reviews and even Squidoo lenses.

They're all good, much better than the ones on Fiverr. Spending $10 on a well written Amazon review is better than buying 2 500-word pieces of junk on Fiverr.

I haven't used Fiverr for articles yet
But I have used a provider for traffic
With over 700 positive feedback and 98% approval it has been a
great source of traffic for me.!

Personally I don't see how paying $5 for quality articles is even a second thought.
