I'm curious what people are paying when they outsource content writing. I'm thinking about outsourcing some writing. I'm looking for the best quality content on the web, nothing medicore or average! What do you guys pay?

sorry EGOL, missed your post somehow. Thanks for the reply

Nice analysis

Best on the web?
Your costs could include: content area expert, editor, photographer plus money spent on props and perhaps travel, data acquisition and analysis, graphic artist to illustrate.
A several hundred dollars on the lowest side for something that the author can write off the top of his head and supply photos from his personal collection.... several thousand dollars for something that can be done without much research and travel.... to a boatload of cash for something like a great National Geographic article.

Hi Peter,
In addition to topic (sometimes), what I mean is the nature of the content can affect the costs - for example: press releases, blog posts, landing page / sales copy, website info pages etc.
For a 1,000 word article, we would likely charge around £75 mark.
Thanks

That doesn't even make any sense...?
Obviously there is a line between creating mediocre copy yourself and hiring an experienced professional writer that understands human reading behaviour, website usability, targeting different mindsets and implementing the necessary to maximise the potential of said content being found.
Specifically requested was "the best quality".
It's relatively simple to check if content that has been created for you has been copied from elsewhere online (which is what I presume you mean by "duplicate").

Hi Geoff, thanks for the reply. Personal finance, money saving etc.
Oh yes, I'm aware of the cheap ones that produce horrible content, this is not appealing at all. Typically what would you charge for a 1,000 word article?
-
What type of content is it? This could essentially affect the costs.
We provide copywriting / content creation services and for high quality copy, hourly rate would be about £25 or quote can be provided on scale of project. There are hundreds of low end, low quality article writing services of course that are from as little as $5 per 1000 words but as with everything, you get what you pay for...
I appreciate that doesn't directly answer your question but as a provider, though it might be useful to chime in.

Nothing. All made by myself = no duplicate. You can't be sure that your content will not be duplicate.

How important is exact keyword match in content for SEO in 2018?
Is it necessary to have the exact keyword which you are trying to rank for within the first sentence of the content on your web page? For example if we are selling men's shoes, is it ok to have have the meta title and h1 on page say men's shoes and just talk about shoes within the first sentence of the content on the page. Is it obvious to search engines that this page is selling men's shoes even if you don't have the word men's shoes in that first sentence or is it necessary to have the exact keywords which you are trying to rank for written there?

Same content but translated. Penalization?
Hi There, I’ve got a question. There are two website that are under the same proprietor but must stay not related (different brand, different IP, different country, different language).

Question - Hidden Content via 'Read More;'
Hi, Does having text in hidden areas (that are expandable with a button) harm their value in SEO? E.g. there are 'read more' areas on the homepage of this site that have content that is not accessible otherwise. Does this content have the same weight when it is hidden versus if this whole area was visible? http://goo.gl/QQvAZ

What is the best practice for using the same content on two pages?
I have two websites in a very similar niche(s)...I have good unique content article that I would like to use on both sites because it adds value to the visitor experience.. Example: Science of Colors would be very useful for my seattle house painting paint colors page. I want to have content so they do not need to leave the site to navigate to second site. Would the identical content trigger a penalty or would it be crawled, ignored, and not indexed. Does having a rel=authorship on one site trump the site..Or is it a pile of BAD.

Content being copied from our product page hurting our site overall?
On our product pages, he have short descriptions and some bulleted lists. Resellers of our products, and many other sites who are not resellers are copying this content, often verbatim. While I'm not as concerned for the product pages themselves as we're hoping the category pages will rank, does this duplication of our content hurt our site overall? FWIW, our brand name is in our domain and often also shown on these sites that copy the content.

Duplicate Content on WordPress Blogs?
We are getting ready to add a WordPress blog to our established website. Our plans are to place it in a subfolder on our website to maximize rank. My question is...Do we need to utilize a Meta Robots WordPress plugin by Yoast or similar so that noindex,follow robots meta tags will prevent search engine indexing of search result pages, subpages and category archives? We want to avoid the dreaded Duplicate Content Error and penalty. Any other great SEO WordPress plugins? Thank you for your time. Brian
