How to order at the appropriate quality (tier) level for clients

Please note when placing your order that ordering at the appropriate tier level will better guarantee the results you seek and that our writers get the rates that they deserve. Kindly review these guidelines before placing your order.

  • Basic (0.01 USD per word) – Basic articles are meant for link building through article marketing where quality and readability are not vitally important. This level is not recommended for orders to be placed on article directories with high quality standards like Ezine Articles. Basic articles should have less than 4 keywords, require only simple research and will not always be written by Native English writers. They should be limited to less than three requests (Example: 1. Use the main keyword in the first and last paragraph 2. Use the other keywords at least once in the article and 3. Please use the main keyword in the title).
  • Great (0.015 USD per word) – Great articles are designed for website content or bulk orders. Use this level if you need articles to post on Ezine, Post Runner or any article directories with quality standards. These articles can be up to 6 keywords and can include additional instructions or a bit more research than a basic order. (Example: 1. Please use UK spelling and grammar 2. Please include the keyword in the title, 3. Please do all your research at www.lookyhere.com 4. Please compare/contrast at least three products.)
  • Excellent (0.02 USD per word) – This level is for blogs and websites that rely on social traffic and well-researched information. Please place your order at this quality level if you have a difficult to research topic, or a topic that requires skill/expertise in the area in which you are seeking content, such as mortgages, loans, financial information, specific industry stats, well researched product reviews or comparisons, etc.
  • Expert Author (0.050 USD per word) – For very technical or academic level sites, the writers that are assigned these articles spend a lot of time researching to ensure accuracy and excellence. This level should be used for Press Releases, for industry articles that require jargon or for any article requiring accurate information and superior quality.

Please note that TCA reserves the right to remove any language in order instructions that may be deemed inappropriate or unprofessional, such as, but not limited to: threats to grade poorly, requests to provide more words than ordered, demands that only Native English writers write Tier 1 articles, or insisting upon higher quality work than the tier level demands.

We ask that you treat our writers with courtesy when you order and ask that you be polite and professional in your dealings with the writers if you ever need to return any article for revision.
