How do I find a cost-effective solution for Infographic deve?
-
I am trying to get an infographic produced from end to end. The problem is, I work for a startup and finances are tight. I have looked at agencies, but they want atleast 2.5k for 1 single infographic. Any advice?

If you have the time, you can do one yourself too. Check out http://infogr.am/. They setup a couple of cool templates and you fill everything in. It's actually pretty fun to do too!

Hi Rand,
His portfolio is here: http://www.design.evasilev.com/
Overall, his work is good. However, the amount of hours you are willing to allow will determine how detailed/customized he can get. In addition, definitely have all of your information in a thorough project brief so you don't run up charges clarifying the data.
You may also be interested in a recent post by Jon Cooper on infographics: http://pointblankseo.com/visualizations He has good tips on creating one on a budget, finding data, and promotion.
Good luck to you!

David,
I appreciate the feedback, I will take your advice. $500-$800 sounds far more reasonable.
How would you rate Zhenia Vasiliev work?
Regards,
Rand

Thanks Igor, I will do that!

I agree with the two posts above. Also, here is a great example of a unique, interactive inforgraphic:

Hi Rand,
Try elance.com <- bunch of elancers that will do it much cheaper. I've never used them for infographics but I did use them for a lot of the other stuff. Just make sure you read their reviews and negotiate all terms upfront.
or
http://visual.ly/ <- its all about infographics

I have used an oDesk provider named Zhenia Vasiliev to have high-quality infographics produced in the price range of $500 to $800. He lives in the UK so communication is easy, but he can be a little late when it comes to deadlines. I would steer clear of most of the cheap designers on the freelance sites though -- a lot of them are just using programs like piktochart and communication can be a headache.
Regardless of what option you decide on, make sure that the infographic presents awesome information in a unique way that your target user base will enjoy. Right now the Internet is flooded with crappy infographics and there is nothing inherently magical about them. Good luck!

Is there a good tool for finding Duplicate Content?
Hi! Are there any recommendation voor Duplicate Content finder tools? Is it offered on MOZ (not the one that belongs to 'seo issues') or a different site?

What's a good way to find recent blog posts about a given topic?
Let's say I want to find blog posts posted in the past week or so about "key west". These posts could be on a personal blog, travel blog, etc. Google News is mostly news sites (not blogs) and Google blog search doesn't work any more. What other good options are there? So far Open site Explorer Just Discovered is the best option I've found, but there is a lot of other stuff mixed in with a few blog posts.

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?

Where to find a directory of industry bloggers
Could anyone out there recommend directory sites containing industry specific bloggers or industry specific guest blogs. Always seems very difficult to come by. For example we have written a great article collaborating with a "hardwood flooring" company and would love to get this published. We are in London. Happy holidays to you all 🙂

Potential effects of PLR articles
I'm sitting on several hundred PLR articles that, with a bit of editing, would fit well into on of my sites. This site otherwise produces new unique content every week, including videos, news and articles. These PLR articles are very popular, copyscape shows at least 30 other sites are using some or all of the pieces, but the articles themselves are the sort of information pieces that don't really get old or change over time. Never having gone for the direct use of PLR articles (have spun quite a few unique pieces in my time though), I'm wondering if there could be a negative effect to using them? We're not in Google News or anything so don't have to worry about that, just wondering if it would diminish the effect of my unique pieces at all?
