  • Articles are priced per word. Usually $0.01/word - $0.05/word and more. So at $0.01/word, you can get a 500 word article written for $5. If you want higher quality articles, they will cost you more. Depending on what you are using these articles for, it might be worth it to invest in higher quality articles to ensure a better return on your investment. Visit the Warriors for Hire forum and check out what some of the article writing services offered by Warriors.

    Lastly, just like your last thread, the amount of articles published does not translate to a certain amount of visitors to your website. Writing a set number of articles will not give you a guaranteed return of 100 or 1000 or 10000 visitors.

    You can write 10 articles and get 1000 visitors.
    You can also write 100 articles and get the same amount of visitors; 1000 visitors.

    It is not how many articles you write that determines the amount of visitors to your website. If you publish one article on your website, you must utilize internet marketing strategies to drive visitors to your article.

    A very popular method of internet marketing is search engine optimization. So, with search engine optimization, you create an article and rank it in the search engines for popular keywords that people are searching for on Google. This way, when people search Google, they can find your website and article and can click on it to read more. The amount of visitors you can generate to your website is based on how many people click on your website from Google and other search engines and other websites you advertise on. You can find out how many people are searching for your topic and keywords by using the Google Adwords Keyword Planner tool. Sign up for a free Google Adwords account and check it out.

    Prices would vary considerably. I personally never work for $5 per article. My rates have varied from $25-$75 per 500 words. Others have charged more. Nobody can guarantee you a certain number of visitors. That's partly up to you and what you do with your site in total.

    As Laurence pointed out, having a quality article is in no way a guarantee of getting visitors.

    It will help your search rankings if when people who DO reach it share and comment though.

    The price of articles is all over the place. You can pay as little as $2 for a 300-500 word article on Hirewriters, or up into the hundreds of dollars per article.

    As others mentioned though, just having good articles on your site won't guarantee traffic.

    Articles help but you need to be advertising your site everywhere possible. In your sig file here, in Facebook and social media sites, to your friends and family, in other related forums, classified ads, literally anywhere you can so you should probably be reading up on how to get traffic. Building your list will get traffic. Have products to sell to make money but get them to subscribe to your site so they become repeat visitors and repeat buyers.

        What do you mean? How many keywords will be inserted in the article?

        You have to do the keyword research yourself before you order the article.

          Articles can range from $1.00 upto hundreds of dollars per 500/1000 word article.

          The price or amount of articles won't dictate how much money you will make, it will be the amount of traffic those articles bring, which could be anything. Way to many factors are involved, including what you are offering or how your site is monetized.

          Your best bet would be to test it out for yourself, you wont find an accurate number just by asking.

    Do not attract any traffic before you have your list building strategy set up. Otherwise you'll have to get those visitors back to the site over and over again. With list you can market to them when ever you want to.

    If you plan to use articles for SEO, you'll need a ton of them. And good niche with low competition keywords. I would suggest that you try other forms of traffic as suggested above.

    Keywords are not offered based on a dollar amount but on a size of article. You can't do keyword stuffing because you'll only get Google slapped. The difference in cost is the difference in number of words per article and the number of articles ordered.
    But, as cuie has said, you need to have a subscription option or you can lose the people after they leave your site the first time.
    Either you do the keyword research or I can make them up but as it's your business, it's your choice as to what to use because only you know your marketing plans and how it all fits together.

        How do you quantify which article is better?

        By the response that it gets.

        If it gets people to stay longer on the page, to comment, and to share the post, then you know that you have a good article.

        The quality of an articles has NOTHING to do with the number of keywords, and I currently have an article ranking #1 for that particular search term and I only bothered to even use the keyword 3 times out of about 600 words.

    You can pay $5 on fiverr for someone has an experience on SEO writing your articles.
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[8732162].message }}
  • You need to know how to use the articles properly or even the best article won't help you at all.

    That being said, you also need the quality content to get started. I'm a freelance writer, and I charge around $.05 per word for 'normal' articles. If you need something in a specialized niche, it can go up quite a bit from there.
