Ghost writers or Article software - which method is better in generating the articles for your websites ?

When you have determined to write the articles for your websites and blogs, employing ghost writers and using article software are 2 popular ways to help you to achieve the results ( other than writing by yourself ). Which method is better ? Let me do a comparison.

As there are many article softwares in the market, I choose the software named Article Equalizer for comparison. In brief, Article Equalizer is a PC –based software solution that helps you to get the articles that are relevant and useful to the target audience of your web site, and then upload them within a very short time. These third - party articles are with free-reprint rights which come from a wide range of article directories. Each time, this software can collect up to 1000 articles

Positive Elements in Employing Ghost Writers

• The article contents will be expected to be unique and only be available in your websites
• You will own the copyright of the article, as if you wrote it yourself. you can put your name on and own completely.
• You can specify what you want the content of the article to be
• The content can be for web site, blog, article or for e-book
• You can choose the ghost writer to write in the language you want ( other than English)

Negative Elements in Employing Ghost Writers

• The writing fee for ghost writers will grow as more orders are placed to them. ( Typical ghost writing fees range between five to twenty five cents per word and is based on the writers experience and sense of self worth ). You also need to make down payment when you starts to hire the ghost writer
• You have to spend time to create web pages and insert the written article content into your website, which can be time-consuming when you have to insert multiple articles into multiple websites
• There is a time gap from the moment you place order to ghost writer and the moment the article is delivered
• You are taking a leap of faith, when you hire the specific ghost writer. There is no guarantee if you can work in harmony with him or her. You have to communicate well with the ghost writer so that the would-be writer understands how to write the article as you want
• The quality of writing is, to some extent, not controllable. Some poor quality ghost writers may use the “article mashing” software to produce the deliverable.
