Doesn't that prove my point?

Jamie, you misunderstand me, I'm not criticising you in the slightest. You're filling a need and I take my hat off to you for being enterprising. My point was that if their site is only worth £7.50 articles then am I wrong in thinking that the owners of these sites have little to moan about if Google penalises them?
I've run a website site that used specialist writers and journalists for well researched content and we got special rates of £250 for 1000 words. One of the people we used wrote for the Times and at the time they paid £1250 for 1000 words, that's great content.

Sorry Jenni, I disagree. Media organisations know that if they want to keep their readers engaged then they need the best copy and to get that means employing the best writers for the given subject. The rates are what they are because becoming an expert on a subject often takes years of research and dedication, you also have to be able to articulate that knowledge in an engaging style which is very difficult. Smart companies recognise that finding the complete package is tough and are willing to pay what it takes for it, the rest is down to supply and demand.
What I will concede is that Jamie is articulate and if you paid him for his time he probably has the skills to research and cross reference a given subject and give you a reasonably interesting article but he's not going to do that for £7.50 so going back to my original point, why should a site that values its content so low have any right to Page 1, position 1 of Google.
I forgot to add - hows this for irony, I don't even do content writing - my latest site: content writing i've put a lot of time and effort into that site as you can see - now... I need 250 words on 'seo content writing'..
people like me who are ruining the internat
