I often pay $5 to $10 for an article 500 words but honestly my writers have not known about SEO and IM thus articles that they give me not as my expectation. I like to find US writers, they understand which I want and provide quality articles.

Fiverr, Freelancer and Seoclerks,...There are too many Indian on these sites, some account faked as US writers and after I hired and received articles then I know I hired a Indian writer, not US writer.

Just want to know how to find exact a good writer? does anyone has experience on hiring writers?

Check local market for writers its always easy to reach writer and make him/her understand what you need.

For a top quality SEO article I would trust someone who charges $15 or more per article and it has to be at least 800+ words.

and how to know it's a good article and have more potential to get higher rankings over same articles existed on search results?
To make sure it's good for seo, there are a couple of things I look out for. First thing I check is the grammar and spelling errors.

The next thing is whether the article says the same thing that is already available online. This is the reason I stopped buying articles, when I post an article for people to read I want the reader to have a WOW moment. I want them to find ninja tricks that they'll never find with a simple Google search.

But if the article has 1 or 2 ninja tricks then it's good. Next I look at keyword stuffing. I want the targeted keyword to be mentioned once or twice in the article and then use synonyms as well as related keywords.

Those are the things I look out for when buying articles. Hope that helps :)

You should pay at least $25 if you expect someone to do a decent job. I usually pay between $30-$45 per article. Since I live in the US, I prefer to hire american writers because there are some differences between how americans write and how brits or indians write. American writers usually charge more.

On Fiver you can find writers willing to write a 500 words SEO article for $5. On upwork you can hire a writer who will be willing to write 500 words SEO article for $2. However, if you go to other article market place, they will ask you at least $10 for 500 word SEO article. How much a SEO article costs depends where you are buying the service.

I know people are mentioning Upwork and Fiverr, but the quality of work on there 9 times out of 10 can be questionable. Depening on your specs, you can find writers elsewhere that have a better grasp of what you are trying to achieve.
