Yes agree Panda and all of the 500 updates they did in 2011 really is just change for the sake of change.
They say its all about quality for the searcher ?
I am at the stage now I write my own articles, although I only write about one niche so its not so difficult.

Making good articles is a big deal. Lower quality of articles means no money. I still prefer to use the expert one at least you are guaranteed for the outcome.

I have read that article quality is in how natural and personal it sounds, and less wikipedia style.  What defines quality to a googlebot?

However, people have lost a lot of money in the updates and this means that they have less money in their budgets to afford article writing services.

Nah..isn't that ironic.

Panda only affected bad quality content sites, if you had a good quality blog/site it actually benefited you since Panda pushed down all the article directories and low quality sites. Panda was a GOOD thing for serious webmasters. Or do you think it was "cool" that sites like ezine etc. dominated many keywords? Hardly.

What i think is ironic that you say "Now after Panda, people have less money in their pocket".
If they would not have been cheap skates PRIOR to Panda they would not have this problem now.

And now, due to their own mistakes by buying $1.50 "articles" from Ahmed and Khumal on Odesk their sites got punished, now they have even LESS money in their pockets as before. This is...more than ironic...

i spend about $15 per article for my money sites and clients sites.
This gets me a well written article which is about 1000 words in length.

For link building i get 300 and 500 word articles written for $3 - $5 and then spin these.

Exactly, We buy $15-$17 per articles. It is very good quality. My clients need those articles.

I'm getting ready to outsource my first set of content on some Tier 1 Link Pyramid Sites. I'm wanting to go high quality on these. I'm treating them the same as the money site so we're not cutting corners here. I want to get some opionions from you all on how to verify I'm not getting content that is not unique.

As many website providers like Amazon are in need of good quality articles, they are ready to pay a good amount of dollars for the best quality article. They increase the data traffic by using this method and the popularity of the website increases. Because of pricing of articles,many article writers with creative minds have jumped into this profession of article writing.

Done. I just can't wait to use it. That means I'm doing something other than coming up with ideas.

If the articles are getting indexed and staying indexed then the answer is probably yes. The real key is how many of those articles are still in the index a month later.

Right. Because now Google is deindexed so the quality of articles is very important. It plays role that maintain the ranking.

Keep writing quality content, always write quality content for user experience. Simple as that. Why would you want to put cheap/spun content on your money site? There's no way you'd pass a manual review.

Just my 0.02.

After Panda update, unique articles are in demand as always, I usually use 400-500 Words for 3$.

If good quality then 5$ for 500 words.

100% copyscape checked.
