Content Writers Passing Off Duplicate Content As Original...

I have a lot of websites. I need a lot of content. I hire lots of writers and I go through lots of writers and here is why...

I have found content writing to be probably the dirtiest most corrupt part of outsourcing - worse than so-called SEO experts. Today I discovered a fresh batch of articles submitted to me for payment by a long-time writer are all about 80% copied verbatim from other sources - this from someone who has supplied articles to me that have passed muster for many months. Needless to say I was not pleased by this turn of events. But that wasn't the end of it - a new person I purchased an article from today sent one that is about 90% copied. Do they think I wouldn't notice? The second one I'm waiting for his response and if it's not satisfactory I'll publish their NP username. ( the other fellow was a classmate at university)

So my message to those starting out in outsourcing content writing is be very aware - always use copyscape to check your articles BEFORE paying for them - and always show lots of love to your good writers who play by the rules because they REALLY are hard to find. Or better still if you have the time - write the stuff yourself!

there are definitely a plethora of "writers" out there, but i think that the saddest part of this post is the long-time writer you've been using that decided to just copy other sources.

and yes, good writers who (always) legitimately write their own content and have their own written voice are true gems! :blink:

Well my former classmate has apologized and said he would do the articles again at no cost if I keep him employed through the summer...

And I still haven't heard back from the NP member.

i've been working under Roy for quite some time and i think he's a nice guy. I use some sources as reference to my articles, but I write them using my opinion and words. I copyscape each and every article before submitting them to him.

i might not be the best writer, but at least i do not copy and paste the contents from other sites.
