I just wanted to be clear about Content Gurus, they are NOT an essay writing company.. they are a keyword writing company. This means they write simple one page articles on a particular keyword. No stellar writing required, it's for the search engines.
The pay is not huge, but it is comparable to other companies just like theirs. Also, of course they use writers to get the work done, there is no secret there. How else would they get it done? They also edit, plagiarise check and produce high quality work for clients. I know this as I have beena client of theirs for months.
Before beginning to work with them, they laid it all out on the table as to what they do...which is contract freelance writers and editors to produce keyword content for website owners and others looking for articles. Their website says the same thing, and it's never been a secret.
So my question would be why they would even be compared to an essay writing company, let alone be brought up at all?
