My definition of rewrites has always been to take the already existing copy and reword it with the same tone and style as most clients who want a rewrite, I have found in my experience, just want the same overall feel to say the same thing but just wants the words jumbled around a bit.

My definition of new copy is just that; new copy! Copy which engages the reader, copy which stimulates the reader to click or keep reading more; copy which is strong and interesting.

Due to this ongoing debate which I seem to encounter every few months, we do charge a lower rate for rewrites as when clients explain to us, "Well I just want the copy rewritten and it shouldn’t take you very long." Is another word for "I am cheap and won’t pay your pricing so let’s call it a rewrite BUT I expect newly written copy."

Um, yea that doesn’t fly with me. Maybe some writers would just grin and take it but after 10 years of being in this business, I don’t stand for the people who think they are "pulling" one over on the "desperate writer."

New copy is just that; new, freshly written copy.

Rewrites are taking already existing copy (no matter boring, crappy or whatever) and just reworking it to say the same thing. That is why it is called a rewrite.

When you want new, sparkingly fresh, vibrant copy, then you already know what my answer is…You got to pay for it!

So next time someone asks for a rewrite due to the price, don’t expect amazingly new copy. It’s the policy I have followed for years and no, it won’t change.

In the past two months I have been receiving phone calls and emails from adult websites who have gotten burned by other adult seo companies. Now I don’t know if the inquiries we are receiving for adult seo are because the adult businesses do not understand the time it takes to organically rank for their keywords and had higher and quicker expectations OR if the adult seo provider wasn’t straight up honest with the adult business.

I am finding that many in the adult industry do not want to give away their secrets. I just laugh! Why? Because all the self-proclaimed "secrets" are all over the Web! Yes, you have to find them and do research and/or be involved in Organic SEO for many years BUT if you REALLY want to DIY Adult SEO, there are a few ways to go about it. You can either find an SEO who will consult and teach you how to go about your adult seo campaign or start connecting to seo’s and read their forum and blog postings. Even attending local SEO meet-ups you can learn more about how to begin to organically rank your Website.

Honesty: Is there honesty in Adult SEO?

I know there is competition, LOTS of competition. The adult market is flooded with Websites and trying to get a new Website ranked can take time for your top targeted keywords. If you are told differently, then you need to rethink the honesty of the person you are speaking to. It is known that Adult SEO takes time hence why there are not many companies who will touch Adult SEO.

Expectations

The expectations of the adult business owner also needs to be in check or reality. There are many sites which have been focusing on their organic ranking from the beginning of their site launch so just think about that competition. Ralph and I have been lucky to rank our own sites fairly quickly but that is also because we set up our sites. When working with a client, many times it could take days if not weeks for their tech department to switch and change items we ask for so that our "magical" work actually works!

Til next time…

It’s more than just Lisa and I stroking each other over the accomplishment (Lisa’s back wouldn’t stand me stroking her anywhere right now, let alone she’s a married lady!) but it’s damn nice when one of our clients is being respected. To be honest, for me it’s never been a ‘we poor writers never get any respect man’, at least not in my day-to-day. Most times people are mystified enough by what I do to give me at least a begrudging respect, and I feel this writing thing, whether SEO copy, fiction, one-acts, what have you, is no different then any other talent (and yes I have blogged here about this to). It’s just a talent not unlike the ability to work on and make an engine hum or cooking a great meal; we all have our certain ‘things’.

It’s just kinda nice that what we do, our little ‘fixing’ of somebody’s engine, our own sauce if you will, has helped one of our clients. Though, hell, I’d like to think that even if I didn’t have a hand in something I am evolved enough to feel just as good for some I care about or know. A good friend of mine is an actor here in N.J. and I champion all his forays, big or small. When another friend of mine, the spectacularly talented, Zanti Misfit-fearing M. Christian publishes a new book or emails me with another of his further forays of fictional fantabulousness I am tickled beyond words. I rally round and applaud the triumphs of the people I care about and by extension do the same for PearlyWrites clients, not because I may have had a hand in the good fortune (ok, I do have an ego and it is good for business when our work sees results) but because someone is doing good that I might know even on a cursory level. Yes, it makes me even happier when Lisa can call with a good result, but really I want the whole word to be happy every sunshiny day, dude! So back to work here trying to get more clients attention and stroking myself.
