Some commenters  were complaining that it was too expensive, but when I compare that with my consulting rate for my writing, it&apos;s a real bargain.  I wouldn&apos;t farm out a technical article, but it makes sense for consumer oriented ones.  I would spend more than that on coffee while I wrote.&lt;p&gt;EDIT: does anyone know what the going rate for a well written 500 word consumer article from a US/CA/UK based writer would be?  Back in the days when I was using PR firms, it was quite expensive.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>How I make 15K a month at AdSense</title><url>http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/adsense/42980-how-i-make-15k-month-adsense.html#</url></story>
