ContentNow.co.uk - Content Writing and Link Building services

I’m really pleased to announce the launch of my new business venture, ContentNow.co.uk!
I launched this service to meet the demands of what I believe to be the two key aspects for achieving strong search engine rankings, namely content writing and link building. I wanted to build a business that would operate to the highest service levels using entirely ethical methods. Let me explain in a bit more detail.
Content Writing:
You’ve probably heard the phrase “Content Is King” many times over the years, especially with reference to Google. The very fact that you still hear people saying it now is because it’s true. If you update your site on a regular basis with fresh, unique, hand written quality content then you will find that not only will Google like it and index your site more regularly, but also your users will too.
The problem we all have in this day and age is that we’re short on time and it does take a lot of time to come up with decent quality unique content. Well that’s where we can help, here are just some of the many benefits of using our services to write unique content for you:
1. All of our content is 100% written by humans. We do NOT use any automated tools to ‘borrow’ content from other websites and reword it in attempt to rapidly create unique content and fool the search engines.
2. We have a team of over 100 highly experienced content writers, researchers and proof readers, many educated to Doctorate level.
3. Our team are all native speakers. UK / English assignments, are always handled by UK nationals. We also have team members capable of writing in other major languages who are located in various countries including the United States. Search engines are becoming increasingly complex and are known to be highly sensitive to spelling, grammar and even semantics (the correct contextual use of words and the overall meaning of the content).
4. Our content articles are all keyword balanced. I.e. they contain an appropriate keyword density / number of occurrences of the target search terms for which the page or article in question is optimised, without appearing to be over-optimised which also attracts a penalty.
5. All prices include research and writing of content followed up by proof reading by a separate proof reading team.
6. Prices start from only £5 per article.
In a nutshell we will ensure that you receive the very highest quality unique content written by knowledgable authors on your chosen topic. We are lucky that our pool of writers contain many people who write not for money but because they enjoy writing. These people will often spend 3 to 4 hours or more researching and writing just 1 single 500 word article. It is then sent to another individual for proofreading.
The main selling point is that the content writing service we provide is QUALITY. Yes, you can get cheaper content written offshore but would you really want to? A lot of it is just existing content repackaged in an attempt to trick the search engines. Click here for more details on our content writing prices and packages.
Link Building:
The second service we offer is link building. Again, we all know how important it is to have links into your site - it’s another of the key determining factors for success in the search engine rankings. However, as above it can be very time consuming, and quite daunting to find sites on-theme that will link to you. The choice of link partners matters a great deal when trying to get good rankings for particular subjects for our clients. Accordingly, we adhere to the following guiding principles when identifying potential link partners for a client:
1. On-theme - link partners MUST have a close logical association with the theme of the client’s site. Inevitably there is a degree of interpretation involved here but the association should be intuitive.
2. Focus on the user experience - links should add value to our clients’ visitors.
3. Complimentary not competitive - there is little or no point in soliciting links from direct competitors to the client. Firstly they are unlikely to return the link and secondly the search engines are likely to see these links as “artificial” – after all, why else would two competitors trade links with each other? Rather, we focus on partners that have complimentary sites.
Link Quality:
Since we drive our activities by the presence of sites in the search engine results for relevant terms, there is an implication that sites must meet the search engines’ quality criteria to appear there in the first place. That said, there are numerous further checks performed in “future-proofing” our clients’ link equity. The search engine algorithms don’t stand still and, whilst some of them don’t always practice what they preach, the day will come when they will so we adhere to a number of best practice guidelines when assessing the quality of potential link partners which must:
1. Be on-topic based upon the complimentary theme approach described above.
2. Avoid link trickery - including “nofollow” tags, internal redirects and a host of other tricks which will result in little or no value to any links obtained.
3. Avoid excessive or off-topic linking - many sites have either been poorly advised or have adopted old fashioned approaches to linking with “anything with a pulse” resulting in endless, often off-topic links. Some deliberately employ these techniques in an effort to spam the search engine results. The more links there are on a page, the less the value of each link.
4. Avoid spamming techniques - many sites still employ keyword stuffing, hidden text, cloaking, redirects and a range of other techniques designed to fool the search engines. Some have been around long enough for these techniques to be overlooked (we can explain why if requested) but are unlikely to remain so indefinitely and represent a risk as a potential link partner.
5. Avoid participating in visible linking schemes - this may sound a little strange coming from a provider of linking campaigns but many low rent campaigns use so-called link farms or exchange sites from which to return a link and tend to add code to the site which is visible to the search engines and screams “I’m desperate to link” - which isn’t a positive. Our linking technology was specifically designed at the outset to avoid creating this effect.
6. Have relevant content – sites comprised entirely of links or with very “thin” content are of little value.
Another key differentiator that we have which we think sets us apart from other link building services is our “Linking System Client Portal“. We believe that our Linking System is one of the best in the world. When you choose to run a link building campaign with us you will be given a login and password to our client portal where you can check the progress of your campaign at any time. Benefits of the linking system include:
1. Full visibility of your linking campaign 24/7/365 days a year.
2. Instantly see the status of all your inbound links.
3. Review your inbound links, see Google Pagerank and Alexa data for the sites hosting your link.
4. Built-in best practice: handles linking the way the search engines want it.
5. Extremely configurable: all client campaigns are deeply customised to ensure the best possible results for you.
6. Huge knowledge base built up over many years of running successful linking campaigns: a massive head-start.

Welcome to my blog. My name is Kieron Donoghue and I run UK Offer Media Ltd. I thought it would be fun to post a daily (well hopefully daily) blog, writing about my experiences in Internet Marketing and more specifically Affiliate Marketing. I'll include some personal stuff too, probably about my other passions, music and cars. Please feel free to post your comments and thoughts too.

That’s pretty cool Kieron, are you looking for writers for your service? I’ve used some sites that pay for writing content before, such as http://www.wordsofworth.co.uk, and would love a chance at writing for your clients too.
If you have a writers website can you post a link?
June 10th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
sounds very interesting, will you be allowing online gambling sites at all?

Is this a white label service from another provider?
June 10th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Kieron, looks impressive. To be honest, if it was anyone else I would have stopped reading after the first paragraph. However, as it’s you I’m very interested. Following Lee’s comment, as you are a well known figure in the affiliate world it is perhaps understandable that you are going to get some pretty direct questions. Is this your business or have you joined a partnership to promote this service in the UK? Anyway, can’t stop long .. I’m off to register!
June 10th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
If it does what it says on the tin, you can expect some business from this neck of the woods
June 10th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Good luck with your new project kieron!
June 10th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Hope this works out well for you!
June 10th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
Adam - not as yet but will let you know if this changes.
Dean - do you mean will we write content and/or build links for gambling sites? Yes, we do so already and welcome clients from this sector.
Gadget - it’s a joint venture with a UK company. They have the writers and technology already in place. All UK or US based so we specialise in English written content.
Dio - it most certainly does mate! Look forward to working with you.

I’ll have to try and catch up with you for a word about the service at the Bingo Summit next week.
June 11th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
So all the links are recipricol? NO one way links?
Also, do you need access to clients FTP details to add the recipricol links.
What happens when theres about 500 recipricol links on a links page. Big flag waving at google?
Cheers,
Joe
June 11th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Joe, no, if you look at the site you will see we offer a content-for-links service. These are 1 way links.
Yes we do need to have FTP access so we can manage the link building for you. The point of our service is that building links is a time consuming and repetitive process, so we take this away for you. Of course if you don’t want to give us FTP access we can still engage in a content-for-links package for you.
We have got years of link building experience and we would not structure a campaign so that we wave any flags at Google. Therefore we won’t build any link pages with more links on than what we know to be acceptable to the search engines.
June 11th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
Right got ya. It just threw me off that the content for links is the same price as the recipricol when it should be worth a lot more if it’s content + a one way link, which are a lot harder to get than a recipricol.
How much content do you give a site, are we talking a page /article or a simple paragraph?
Cheers Keiron, good stuff..
Joe
June 11th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Joe - it all depends on the site and the sector to be honest. We tailor our packages based on that but as a rule its a couple of paragraphs or more.
June 11th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
OK just a couple more questions
- what sort of conversion rate do you get with the content for links, say out of 500 solicitations is it suffice to say maybe 50 of those will be successful?
- The content you place on a linking site… will it be boxed seperate from the site content or will it blend in to the orginal and be specifically written to add to whats there?
- Will content for links be labeled in anyway - “ad” “sponsored” - hopefully not just making sure.
Cheers Keiron, I’ll go away now
June 11th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Joe - 50 out of 500 would be 10%. In our experience this is high, expect around 4% on average although we have achieved higher. A lot depends on the sector too.
- It all depends on the site. Usually its a unique article given its own page.
- No, no links are labeled as sponsored.
- If you have any more specific questions please get in touch with us via the contact form on the site.
