Thank you for this OP. You've saved me a fortune. I recently received a sample from one of the seller's listed that was so poor it hurt me inside. I hope your post helps convince them to up their game or bin this off. Cheers.

I love this thread. I'd give you +rep if I still could.
 
Thank you for this! Hoping that MOD's put a poll on what content maker is the best.

Most are just fairly boring to read and wouldn't capture this particular audience whatsoever. A gaming PC is a PC built for gaming. It has higher end cooling capabilities... Yawn..

Yeah, that's so true. As a gaming fan myself, it was painful to read some of the best articles.

As one of those who wrote for this project, I have to disagree strongly.
The supplied topic was the most generic subject possible - and in my experience, "What is a ---" is not aimed at knowledgeable "fans" of a subject.
"What is a ---" is a basic informational topic aimed at newbies.

Additionally, the order did not specify a "particular audience," nor did it say "please go wild" or "please use your creativity." The audience and approach, though, could be pretty clearly assumed from the order.

Yes, anyone who is a gaming fan knows that a gaming machine has a higher-end GPU and higher-end cooling capabilities.
But someone asking "What is a gaming computer" does not - so that is essential information which would form the basis of an article with this subject.

I've written numerous review articles on gaming machines, both for different price levels and for specific different types of gamers.
That's not what this assignment was. Discussing (for instance) the specific overclocking capabilities of various GPUs in a 500 word article for newbies would be quickly jumping into information that was way over a newbie's head.

For anyone who's considering ordering content from any provider, I believe there are some lessons here.

1. If there's a specific audience the piece is aimed at, or knowledge base a reader is expected to have - let the writer know.
Otherwise, the writer will gauge the audience and knowledge base from the subject/title.

2. If you want clever, edgy or any other writing style - JUST ASK. It's much more likely that a smart-ass or click-bait style will offend more clients than it delights. "What is a ---" is a subject that would generally call for a matter-of-fact article, not something that would be written for Saturday Night Live or a smarmy blog. The latter are valid approaches to this or any other subject; just don't assume you're going to get them and don't be disappointed if you don't.

I haven't read the other articles (I'm the writer who had surgery today and shouldn't even be at the computer right now), but if the high-priced articles all seemed basic and "boring," there is a good reason for that. Good writers judge the target audience and desired style from the information they're provided. They're not mind readers; they're professionals. They're going to properly explain a topic, perhaps with a little personality included, and cover the important facts - unless something different is requested.

This was a great idea for a project and a lot of work was put into it. I'm pleased to have been included.
And I'm grateful that OP put in all of this effort. It was a valuable service.
I just felt it was necessary to mention a few things people should consider, for the sake of completeness.
 
Thank you so much OP!
Was just about to order content today from a few selected providers to test them, and you probably just saved me some money.

One thing I realize is that most of the premium writers are probably not worth it considering the quality you can get from some of the writers in the $3-$9 range. Also nice to see that some of the services that the mods have praised when approving the sales threads still deliver high quality articles.

Btw, the link to the article by SEO FOX in the first post is broken. But found it in the G Doc.
 
Honestly, none of these worth their price as i briefly went through all of them, if it so hard to write what is a gaming PC, just imagine writing about medical terms.

Great thread! OP put a lot of work/thought into this.

Most content I've bought here (or elsewhere) has been pretty poor. A couple have been good, but on average the articles read like a special ed student slapped at a keyboard. I've always asked for adjustments in the poor cases and eventually got them. In these circumstances it helps to be nice, but insist on fixes. So as a rule you should assume the "real" TAT is double what they quote. And when you find a good content provider STICK with them.

I almost fell on the floor laughing! LOL

It really is sad that the quality of content here seems to be pretty poor overall. I really expected seller's here to provide great work, especially content writers where authoring content needs to come from passion. From my evaluation, most content writers here are not offering their service(s) because they know how to write, but because they know they're going to make sales.
 
Hasa,

What you did here is beyond my imagination and expectations.
#RESPECT

I just want to clear other people and you (which i already did on skype) that you ordered Tier 1 Articles from us and i am kinda sure that the amount of money you paid for the Tier 1 article was totally worth.


Also, just because of your effort and this quality thread i am offering you 1 article from my biggest package (pack 3) for a minimum of 1000 words to a maximum of 2000 words ABSOLUTELY FREE.


Hit me up on skype for all your details.


#No Trolling please.

Thanks

This thread should be sticky so that future buyers will know the quality that they will get from the writers.
