Thank you! The results of your feedback.

A few weeks ago, we sent our users an email, asking for feedback on how we could improve GhostBloggers and make it easier to use.
The response rate was overwhelming and we thank our users for that!

The following is a list of changes that have been requested and accepted.

The results

  • Buyers who are logged in can now see a list of their previous searches, when clicking on the input field of the search page.
  • We added 3 new subcategories.
  • When your session expires and you login again, you will automatically return to the last page you were on.
  • We are working on a public RSS-feed for both search results and article requests.
  • If you are logged in, our contact form will automatically fill in your information.
  • In a few weeks, the moderation-process will be changed. The update will allow our editors to easily highlight errors to inform the writer better on the required changes.
  • Writers who own a WordPress blog will soon be able to install a widget, allowing them to promote a list of their own articles via their website.
  • We’re working on a setting that will allow writers to update the title, summary and price of their articles when they see fit.
  • Buyers now have to define the target audience when requesting articles.
  • Businesses from the UK who do not have a VAT number were unable to register. This has been fixed.

Every day, new feedback is coming our way and we’ll continue to improve our platform.
Thank you, for your help. Please don’t hesitate to contact us when you have a new feature idea or simply want to say “hi”.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you!

Testing the value of “news” articles

Currently, the main focus of GhostBloggers is supplying article-buyers with “evergreen content”. Articles are called “evergreen” when the content is considered to remain interesting and valuable over a long period of time.

Example: an article purchased by a shoe-company, listing all the different kinds of leather, will most likely be interesting to read 5 years from now and will continue to send traffic to the buyer’s website via organic search results.

Over the past few months, we’ve been denying quite a few articles that aren’t evergreen. For instance, articles such as “Most Anticipated Movies of Fall 2011″ are interesting to read until fall 2011 but will most likely provide little value in 2012. Continue reading

Why PLR content will harm your website

This article sheds light on this wrongful publishing practice, explaining how and why it can harm your website.

What is PLR content?

PLR stands for “Private Label Rights”. This term is well known in offline businesses such as supermarkets, where multiple stores purchase unbranded products from the same factory, slap their own brand on it, and sell it as their own.

Online PLR content are usually packages of a specific number of niche-related articles that are written by ghost writers and sold at very cheap rates to online publishers. It is not uncommon that the same PLR package is sold to hundreds of buyers. Continue reading
