SEO content writing is somewhat of a misnomer--it really should be replaced with high quality and well researched content writing. The term "SEO content writing" implies that there is a secret writing formula which turns plain everyday text into something magical that gets the attention of the search engines--this could not be further from the truth. If you are looking for content writing services which will help your website attain higher rankings, what you are really looking for is high quality and well written content, and not SEO content. SEO content is what you would get from a writing sweatshop or someone who cannot afford to write good content because they are only charging you $12 per "article". SEO content writing as a service can be useful, if shortcuts are not taken, and the content is not expected to perform magic. Well written, interesting and useful content will inevitably be found, and get attention on its own merits; however, it also helps lay the foundation for a successful link development campaign.
