I need TEN 500+ word search engine optimized articles a week for a women's topical website. Initially, I will make the assignments in batches of 10 (possibly more than one batch per week). Later, you will find 10 articles per week from our partner sites and choose your own topics (high SEO value).

Requirements:
1. English must be your primary language (no weak or translated text)
2. You must have journalistic-style writing experience
3. You must use excellent US grammar (very important)
4. Creative writing skills are a plus

Please bid on writing TEN 500-word SEO optimized articles and saving them on our Joomla-based website. On an ongoing basis, we want 10 articles per week, but in the short term we have a backlog of many hundreds of articles that need to be written (we will assign them 10 at a time, however).

Here is the process:

EVALUATE:
1. Initially, I will give you 10 links to pages on our website
2. Each article is currently 40-50 words with a small picture
3. The article is a teaser linking to a partner site article
4. Each article will focus on one or two keyword phrases
5. Each 40 word article must be re-written as 500 word SEO articles

RESEARCH:
1. Initially, I will provide you with target keywords phrases
2. Read the linked article on our partner site
3. Google the keyword phrase(s) and read top 10 articles
4. Visit two competitor sites and read their content on the keywords

WRITE:
1. Create an article title that uses/optimizes the target keywords
2. Write a 500-600 word COMPLETELY original article on the topic
3. Replace the 40 word article with your new 500+ word article
(we use a Joomla website with JCE editor)
4. Include one small image in the article (on existing articles, the are already there -- for future articles, get from partner site)

SEO OPTIMIZE:
1. Make sure keywords are in the title (as early as possible)
2. Use keywords three to five times in the article
3. Use the keywords in bold, italic, h2 header as appropriate
4. Add the keywords to the alt-text for the image
5. Add the keywords to the description and keyword metatags
6. Use copyscape to verify that your content is 100% original

After all of the existing articles are rewritten, on a weekly basis, you will visit our partner sites, find 10 new and interesting articles on their sites each week, and write your own 500+ word article on a similar topic with better keyword focus. You will then provide a link to the partner sites and to other articles on our site under "additional reading."

We use plagiarism detection software to make sure that our content is completely original and would not incur a google duplicate content penalty. When you write for us, you transfer all copyrights to us, and we can use and resell this content as we see fit, including publishing it under any name we choose.

The articles created must employ US journalistic style, punctuation and grammar. The text and the photo(s) would need to be uploaded into a Joomla website using the JCE editor, and saved in a hierarchy of "channels" and "categories."

When you respond, please provide links to original articles you have written, and quote the number of articles you could write per week and a bid for 10 articles.

I am expecting pay about $3-6 per article for quality writers. I will delete lowball bids that are just designed to get your name to the top, and will not waste my time with generic responses, or those with poor grammar or copied/translated junk (been there done that before). I will consider someone with no reviews yet if your profile is complete and talks about your writing skills.

I am looking for multiple writers to achieve a variety of writing styles on the site.
