I have heard a mix of reports about outsourcing content writers. You can typically find cheap writers if you look hard enough, but outsourced work is sometimes grammatically inferior, which makes hiring one of these sites a waste of time. In addition, some of them use a funny program that strips pieces from several articles. Then, they have the employees work over the content to make it seem cohesive. Although this is a clever concept, you have to take into consideration that a place that cuts corners opens a webmaster up for grief later. In addition, do you get a guarantee of originality for your content dollar? Google is currently emphasizing "original content" for websites weighing higher than repeat. Good luck, and be sure to let us know about your positive or negative experience.
