Online proofreading service
-
We are mostly writing our own article but need a helping hand proof reading and putting the final touch on the articles.
Any ideas to online services offering this?

HI
Thanks for the valid comments. Logo corrected already
I just wrote you a mail with a few question in regards to proofing service.
Thanks again for the help

Thanks Ryan,
It's the part of my former life that seems to follow me around, so it's a good way for me to satisfy my overwhelming urge to copy edit everything on the internet!

Hi Fredrik,
I took a look at the site you have listed in your profile - you might want to add an "s" to "cost" in the text beneath your logo
It looks as though your main problems are spelling, typos and the odd runaway train of thought!
I'm not big on shameless plugs, but will post this one anyway since the link actually includes a "first page or post free" offer for SEOmoz Pro Members.
The site is Little MisSpeller (apologies to anyone offended by the self-promotion). You'll find a short description of appropriate skills and experience there.
As Ryan mentioned, there are a lot of services out there and it is really a matter of finding the one that will work best for you.
Hope that helps,
Sha

Thanks for the great tips.
Lets say I produce the raw content, you know any good online service that can take that and apply your point 1 -4 on it?

When you proofread an article, the question to ask is, from what perspective? If I had my wish, every article I produced would be proofread by 4 people:
1. An expert on the topic being discussed. A doctor, attorney, accountant, web developer, etc.
2. An English teacher, or expert in the language being used.
3. A marketing expert. Someone who knows how to write with flair, engage the audience, properly use color and images to attract attention and influence your readers.
4. A SEO. The SEO would ensure your article focuses the proper keyword, uses the correct meta tags, the internal and external links are maximized, etc.
If your goal is to produce world-class content, then my recommendation would be to have someone review the content with all four of the above review areas in mind. The more people who can review your document, the more feedback you will get. You can certainly add #5 - your target audience to the list. They may think of questions or ideas which were not considered by the original author.
There are many companies which offer article creation services, and may offer proof reading services as well. There are also various tools which can review articles. One I like is: http://www.paperrater.com/

My Boss tells me personal narrative content isn't read online and bad for SEO, anyone else disagree? b/c I do!
I am in a constant debate that content 1st person or 3rd person doesn't make a difference in terms of SEO and what people on the web want to read. What do you all think? Does it make a difference?

Online Publisher networks (Splash Press) Question
Hi, If you can get into a network as a writer it's great because you can expose your brand on high auth websites without the hassle of having to build a relationship with each site - once your in, your into all the websites on the network. So question is, isn't this going to be bad for SEO, I assume all the websites are on the same server and I have seen some where they interlink in the network. Apart from that though they look really great, good fresh content, high DA/PA, lots of social activity etc. A couple I have come across are: Splash Press & Alloy Digital (If you know of any more please post them up).

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.
