The articles you want written are intended to generate revenue for you, and you are entrusting a stranger to write them. Find a good one that can work with you and you will end up with a lot of profitable articles. Get a bad one and it could ruin your site.



An article ghost writer's job is not just to write. Unfortunately, many seem to do just that. It is also to ensure that your article is optimized to get as a high a position in the search engine listings as possible. This involves judicious use of keywords and related semantics. Keep this in mind when hunting for your writer. Overuse of your keyword could result in your article never seeing the light of day in the search engines.

They may appear in the directories you submitted them to, but most benefit from a submitted article is that it can appear several times in the listings if properly optimized. This is very important in getting exposure for your articles, just as important as the back-links achieved.

There are few ways to find a ghost writer that you may want to try. A straight internet search should find you one, though prices can be high. Beware of prices that seem low. Many ghost writers will either sell you articles they have already sold elsewhere, or will write an article for you, then offer it for sale to others. Many ghost writers insist on a link back to their own website being on the article.

A genuine ghost writer will write just for you. You will be the only person to receive the article you are paying for, and that is the way it should be. Why should you pay someone to write an article that could shortly be competing against your website?

You could try an online agency, but I have found that many writers advertising on these agencies cannot get their spelling and grammar correct even in their adverts, so who is going to trust them with an important article. You could ask for a sample of work, but that is meaningless. The most secure method of hiring an article ghost writer is to request an article on the topic of your choice, with the agreement that you pay only when you are totally satisfied with the result. In that way you get exactly what you want for your money.

You should ask for a written assurance that the article will not be provided to anyone else. A good freelance article writer will offer you an option of a second copy, at low price, for your own website. If you want the article for content on your own site, and for submission to article directories for exposure and back-links, you don't want to be competing against another website with your article. You can be certain that there are people out there who will remove your Resource Box before posting on their own webpage. Normally that's not a real problem, unless you have exactly the same article on your own webpage!

Many authors demand $30 - $100 and more for just one article. Others less. What you have to assess is your projected income from each article based on the extra visitors you expect from your article. Whether this is Adsense income or sales on your website are immaterial. Do the math and decide the price you are willing to pay. A high quality article can bring in money for many years to come. All you need now is a good article ghost writer to write it!
