Do I have to order SEO articles, or can I order information articles?
No, you do not have to order search engine optimized articles -- if you prefer, we can create an information-based article without the keyword targeting.

Who writes the articles for this website?
This service utilizes a number of contract writers to create content for you. We also have an editor -- one, at present -- who revises all articles that the writers submit.

Do you check the articles with Copyscape before I receive them?
Yes. As we utilize contract writers, all articles are checked against Copyscape.com prior to being delivered to you. In addition to the Copyscape.com check, we also use a software developed by Rob Ferrall of Inoweb Marketing which checks 47 random points of an article against 8 online resources for potential plagiarism.

How long will it take you to write my articles?
There are quite a few variables that affect how long a particular order will take. However, we try to attend to all orders within one week of the order. Delivery times may vary, but if you choose our 'As the finish' for your articles when you're placing your order, we will do our best to send out some of your articles to you before your entire order is completed. In the future our goal is to have a 36 hour turnaround for most orders, but as we are brand new -- delivery times will vary.

How do you ensure the quality of the articles?
Unlike some other article writing services, we go to great lengths to ensure that not only you receive quality articles, but that you receive the type of article that you ordered -- the first time around.
First and foremost, our writers are not the 'final' editors. While the writers are required to proof their own work, once an article is submitted to the editor, it is checked for spelling, grammar, continuity, clarity, and adherence to the stated guidelines for that particular article.
In addition to this, the writers are supplied with almost everything they need to actually write the article -- we supply the keywords, the article's title, the focus, and related keywords, where applicable, so that there is no question about how the article is to be constructed.
Writers who follow the rules, have a good writing style, and can deliver article quickly stay with us. Writers who start falling short are quickly terminated.

Why should I choose 10 Dollar Articles over somebody else?
There are quite a few reasons why it might be advantageous for you to choose our article writing services over those of our competitors. However, here are the biggest benefits, in our opinion, of using this service:
We hire quality writers - Before a writer can join our program, we review a number pre-existing articles. If we see issues that will likely cause issues, we do not hire them. If the writing samples are indicative of a writer who will produce quality articles, only then will we let them join as a writer. We are not like other services which mass-produce articles written by writers of questionable qualifications -- our writers must demonstrate that they can meet our quality guidelines before they ever take on a project.
Our writers are "graded" - Each and every time an article is written, the writer is graded. They are graded on how long it takes them to deliver the articles for review, their ability to follow our written instructions, and how much time we have to put into editing their submission. If writers fall below a certain average score, they are let go. Plus, a writer's rating determines how much money they make here -- better writers receive more money per article, which helps us to keep better writers on staff.
Our editor is an expert SEO copywriter - Other services use editors who may know the 'ins and outs' of grammatical rules and usage, but our managing editor is a true SEO copywriting expert and a well-established freelance writer. This not only means that you are dealing with a competent writer, but one who knows how to develop content that is effective for its purpose.
We know the needs of content publishers - Different types of articles have different needs. For instance, articles used for article marketing may differ in "feel" and "tone" than an article published on your website or blog. Likewise, an article sent out to your email list will likely differ in how it's constructed than an article that you will send out to strangers through article directory submissions. We understand the varying needs of today's content publishers, and how we handle your order demonstrates this, each and every time.

Do you write articles on a first-come-first-served basis?
To an extent, yes. However, we utilize what we call a "smart queue" which enables us to work on many different orders simultaneously. There are two reasons why we utilize this hybrid of the first-in-first-out model:
• If you order a single article, it doesn't really make sense for you to have to 'wait in line' for it, especially if the writer or writing service is working on some very large orders.
• In some cases, you are ready to use articles as soon as they are written, such as when you're performing article marketing, posting to your blog, etc. If you fall into this group, you know how beneficial it would be for you to get an article or two every couple of days rather than waiting until Friday for 10 or 20 articles.

Do I get full rights to the articles, or do you reserve some rights?
10DollarArticles.com is a ghostwriting service -- all rights associated with content that we create for you is passed on to you once you have paid in full for the content and accept it. We will not use your articles for samples, our portfolio, or even reference you or your articles without your written permission.

Is there a way for me to track my order's status?
At present - no. However, this website was developed with real-time order-status tracking in mind, so once we have the kinks worked out, this feature will be available.

Do you offer revisions on articles if I am not satisfied?
Yes, if we fail to follow your written instructions about the focus/angle or direction of an article, or we send you content rife with grammatical mistakes or spelling errors, we will absolutely fix it free of charge. However, if you fail to inform us of an important fact about what you need, or change your mind about something midstream or after-the-fact, additional charges will apply.

What is your refund policy?
We will refund your purchase price in the following situations:
1. Our revisions are not able to rectify problems with the focus/angle of your articles, which are due to us not following your written instructions.
2. Our revisions are not able to clear up rampant grammatical mistakes and/or spelling errors.
We do not offer refunds in situations where you fail to provide adequate information about your content's needs. In the event there is a dispute over the definition of 'rampant grammatical mistakes and/or spelling errors', Rob Ferrall, the managing editor of 10dollararticles.com is the sole arbiter in cases of such disputes.
