Re: Financial Aricles for my site
The trouble with using articles that are already published, and just changing the subject, is that they will be regraded as duplicate content by Google. This means that it will give your site no push up in the SERPS, and will possibly lessen the 'quality index' of your site in general.
Two nasty effects of this that sometimes occur are:
[1] if your 'quality index' drops too low, you can be penalised by Google, resulting in an abrupt drop in your rankings
[2] the Adsense guys will drop the payout rate
Regarding going to Scriptlance etc, I would always encourage people to investigate or test the various options available, but ask yourself: what journalist is going to write 500 words of carefully crafted copy for £2.50 ?
What sources are they able to access? Public internet only? Do they have specialist knowledge of the industry? Are they able to provide a high quality, regular and up-to-date service? Can they provide an integration service using XML that updates your website immediately a story breaks? Can they provide automatic hyperlinking between keywords in the articles and deep-linked urls on your site?
Just a few points that spring to mind.
