How much do you pay for a 300+ word blog article?
-
I am considering outsourcing some of the blog writing and would like to get some idea of what is a reasonable amount to pay someone for writing say a 300-350 word article?
Also any recommendations on where to find good writers? Thanks!

Yes please Francisco..I would appreciate the referral.

oDesk is my recommendation as well, but you should always ask for a sample of writing before hiring anyone. I also specify 'English speaking' in the job title. For a safe option you should take the referral from Francisco, good price and recommended.
If you are wanting to save some monies you could always write it yourself and just have a SEO copywriter polish it up for you.

Find an author on oDesk and give them continuous work. I have found really good mom bloggers who will work for $12/hr on an "as needed" basis. Let me know if you want her info. She has a degree in journalism.

We find that general topics, like pop music or celebrity news, start at around 2.5 cents per word for good quality. You can certainly find cheaper writers, but you run the risk of blog posts with grammatical errors and weak argumentation.
The more in-depth or technical the content needs to be, the more expensive it will become. Legal writing specialists, for example, charge much higher rates.
With more than 100,000 US-based authors, we can help with whatever niche you may need.

It really depends on level of writing you can find people who do it for $10 and some who charge $250 depending on how good they write and their knowledge.

How to use articles effectively in a blog.
I wanted to start a blog so I could get some longer tail search term results. I am a knowledge expert in my area but am very busy as an entrepreneur so I had been putting it off for some time. It occurred to me that I might be able to outsource the article writing and I have started doing that. I have either come up with or have approved the topics. I am a very critical editor and demand high quality writing. The articles are all original. We are proofreading everything to make sure the articles are of high quality and inform readers about the subject. I plan to only put external links in the articles that link out to the sources for the information that was used to write the articles. We are also using pictures info graphics and video where possible. I plan to close the comments because, while we have had a website for some time and get some visitors (2500 per month) we are new to blogging and do not have a following that would post comments. My questions is this.......will these be viewed negatively by Google? I think this will be good content but I don't want to do anything to negatively affect us.

Article Distribution - Duplicate content or not?
Many SEO's disagree on this subject so I wanted to see what everyone thinks. Producing an article and then distributing to multiple article directories. In the eyes of Google is this considered spam(duplicate content) or it is not? As I understand unique content is good SEO. However, I also understand that visibility of the content on multiple sites is very important. What do youthink?
