I am fairly new to freelance writing, but it hasn't taken me long to work out that churning out dozens of "SEO optimized" 200 word articles at two bucks a pop is a waste of time and energy. I would rather write for free than work for those sort of wages. I am lucky enough to have found a niche that pays reasonably well and a few jobs where I can "be myself" and develop a style. Quite apart from that, I find myself increasing annoyed at the amount of times I run a search for something only to be taken to one of those 200 word SEO articles and a page full of Ads. I have no wish to put more garbage on the already overflowing garbage pile the internet is becoming. Good article,
