Good to know that you didn’t edit them in any way – that way you aren’t the one to blame for the incredibly obvious fact that NOBODY did. The articles aren’t valueless, but I think either one could be edited down to less than 30 words for the same semantic content. In other words, my thought after reading is that I just wasted some of my precious time.

This kind of content is going to be eaten up by splogs though since it is far higher quality than the garbage they usually run. Did they guarantee you any level of uniqueness? If not then it is certain that someone else is going to get all the Google juice from running one of these. [Side note - I just ran a search on one of these and this post is the only place it shows up - so far...]

Finally – I know professionals – people with documented writing backgrounds – who will do you a guaranteed original, shorter but higher value blog post for a tenner.

You are a sneaky little thing. Go have a beer. You deserve it.

Thanks, Linda, but I would rather post a series of articles about these $5 articles. Who knows! I did get the $5 value for each article — I am using them on the web site, but more as examples of what you’ll get if you pay a fiver. I was thinking that they might spur the editor perfectionist in me, but I would rather just post them as-is.

The grammar is horrid. For $8 each, I’ll edit them for you. That does not include re-writing nonsensical arguments.
