Unless your website is about some yada yada yada subject I would only accept this type of advice from a person who is knowledgeable about your content area.
So, to find qualified authors go out there and find out who is already writing about this subject with enthusiasm, authority and verve and see if you can convice them to write for you.
.... and about your "affordable price"... you will have to pay them what they want or take your chances with getting content that will make you look like a fool.

For me, I don't use them but only because I have not had a need. Our sites, blogs are a bit more specialized and are smaller sites typically designed to develop professional practice clients. I have to be careful to stay true to quality subject matter and would rather have one or two great posts than to have 5 so so.

In my personal experience Stefano, no one you hire is going to put the same effort into researching your niche as you would if you only had yourself to rely upon. I have hired people from Textbroker who attempt to keyword stuff, use a lot of fluff and filler/stop words, and generally make it as easy on themselves as possible to get the paycheck. Same goes for oDesk, Freelancer, and some other private companies I have hired.
Dont take this personally, this is only my opinion, but if you aren't interested enough to read about your niche in your spare time then you should find a new niche, OR visit forums and discussion groups for people who choose to spend their free time discussing what you want your website to cover.
Good luck, and if you are aiming for low cost content, dont expect the writers to do anything but repackage the top three websites content using a thesaurus, and spell checker if your lucky.

You are getting this from a newbie lol but I ran across www.articlez.com Maybe what you are looking for?

I totally agree with you on this. This is a personal blog, I get about 80 000 unqiues a month but would like to push it up a notch. I feel that my only downfall is getting enough posts. I can only manage 1 -2 posts max a week and I feel that this is harming my user engagement. I agree on some of the indian developers and writers, the bulk of them don't understand too well and can be funny lol.

I tried india with trerible results, there understanding of subjects can be bad, but sometimes funny.
To some quality does not matter as they use them for article postings where no one is going to see them, but i dont believe article sites that accept bad quality dont do much for you anyhow.
I put it on the clint, I tell them no one knows their products like them, it is essentual that you write your own content. -
Thanks Robert
Much appreciated advice
What are your thoughts on these blog posters that do mass posting at close to zero rates(i think they pay around $2 per post?)? I have a few big guys who own massive blogs and i know that they utilize these services and are having great results...
Any thoughts?

Stefano,
A question near and dear to my heart. What we do is to utilize a few well paid ($50 to $100 US per page depending on topic complexity and past performance) copy writers for web site builds. This is where we are able to recoup the costs for new or improved client content. These copywriters have been given basic SEO through CMS training to get good H1, H2, etc. but are not the last word in SEO.
For a blog, what I have done is a couple of things that are working well: First, go to the local universities and advertise for interns in marketing, web dev, etc. and require writing samples. In the US, we can get quality people who are happy to work for around $10 to $12 per hour.
Another avenue I am using is to assist sororities and alumnae associations with their websites for a very small fee in return for some blogging and the ability to post on their blogs with us managing the cms.
As with everything we all do, it just takes realizing there are those who are good and would love to do the work. Anyone taking a language major, journalism major, etc. are great resources as they need the practice. You just have to screen the work before, during, and after the hire. The beauty here is as an intern, I am not compelled to keep a position open, etc. But, if someone is a super star, I start looking for a spot for them after graduation.
Best of luck.

No URL for my blog?!!!
I use a website provider for my website. Sadly, although it has an integrated blog, the blog posts title does not get included in the URL. So now, with my limited knowledge of SEO I'm wondering if blogging is still worth it? Any thoughts Greatly appreciated! 🙂

What are the effects of posting on a blog site using copied content from your site if you source the site on the blog site?
I have noticed that some of my pages from my site are posted to different blog sites and directory submissions they are word for word what is on my site but at the bottom of the page it does list my site as the source and there are links in the text back to my site. Is this going to negatively effect my rankings or is it ok since my site is sourced in the article?

Should my client copy and paste his blog posts onto other professional sites?
I have a client who is an Attorney and participates in a couple of different Q and A legal sites. One of these legal sites is recommending to my client that he copy and paste his blog posts onto his profile page on the Q and A site. I understand my client wanting to copy and paste his blog posts onto these sites, as it will not only get his content in front of a larger audience, but also lend credibility. However, I've always heard that that could cause some duplicate content problems. Will my client's blog likely get penalized by google for copying and pasting his blog posts onto other relevant sites?

On-Site Blog or Blog Service for Best SEO Results
I had a blog associated with my site, then I had to merge two Google accounts and to make a long story short, my old Blogger page won't transfer to the new account. So, I'm starting fresh. My Question: Would I benefit most from an on-site subdomain blog, adding content to my site on a weekly/monthly basis, or an off-site blog such as Blogger, linking back to pages and resources on my site? Then, any other juicy tips would be great. Honestly, I won't expect a large subscription base. There will be a natural draw for some trade associates, and I'll be linking and promoting them as well. Thanks for any input. I'm new to the community, and SEO, but really impressed with this community.
