What is the general consensus on using Text Broker for content?

[outofboundsdigital]

I have seen generally good reviews for http://www.textbroker.com. Does anyone here have personal experience with it?

We are considering using it for content creation for guest blogging for clients. As far as we have found, this is all within Google's acceptable webmaster guidelines.

In general, how much editing is required from an article provided by Text Broker?

Thanks!

I've never used TextBroker, although I too have heard good things.  I think their services are a bit overpriced, in my opinion at least.  For a 3-star quality article, a 400 word piece would cost you $6.40.  I think that's on the high end.

For my lower quality content creation (lower quality here meaning anything I don't write myself), I use freelancers.  I shopped out a couple of gigs to Fiverr, found a freelancer that did really good work, then approached her for a bulk order outside of Fiverr.  She does great work for me, and I pay $2.50 a piece for good quality 400 word original articles.  I've also had luck with freelancers from oDesk, or you can find a local college student from Craigslist.  I think no matter how you do it, you can get better quality articles for cheaper than what TextBroker offers.

I commissioned around half a dozen pieces from TextBroker and I was utterly unimpressed. The pieces were not insightful, had very little thought behind them, and looked like they'd been written in about two minutes flat. On one of the pieces I paid for the top level "professional" service, and still the piece was very weak. I asked for it to be revised, but the revision did little to improve things. I'm steering clear.
