    Why don't you have Real Estate on your page as one of the example topics...
    I'd think that would be a bigger market for you then say... autos or food...
    No?

    I've been holding back from commenting...

    Some companies similar to this have approached me in the past. They offered to write articles on all kinds of real estate topics. They don't know anything about the topic, usually -- and research it from scratch. Usually, that doesn't work so well for real estate articles.

    Maybe this company is good, I don't know. That would be nice. But I have given several the chance so that I could focus more time on other matters -- and didn't have to write so much. For those of you that don't know, I've written practically everything on www.realestateabc.com, and the buying and selling tips on the AA web sites.

    Of these companies that submitted articles, I didn't publish anything. There just wasn't enough quality to the material. Maybe my standards are too high, I don't know. I certainly would have had to do a lot of re-editing.

    In one case I received a plagiarized version of my own article.

    I went into it HOPING they would be able to write, so that I could focus on other matters. So I wasn't intending to be overly critical.

    At least the content was of high quality for that one !

    Commenting is what I need though to refocus efforts into making my service better. How else can I improve upon something if I don't know what strikes are against it?

    That being said, I do agree, there ARE some services out there that do shoddy work. And yes, so do just turn out plagiarized or rehashed work.

    My writers do research the topics they are assigned and present it to my editors for editing. I do guarantee original content, and in any writing style you would like. Whether the material is up to snuff for your standards, well, that really is in the end up to you. For those, like yourself, that have reservations about using sites like my own, I would definately order either 1 or 2 articles before launching into a 20 or 30 article campaign from us.

    I do want to present an affordable service, but at the same time, I want it to be something that you want and something you can use.
