Any creative writers here? Need some help :)

This might be a longshot but as i'm on a no budget small biz startup i was hoping i might find some cheap/free labour or swap of services amongst friends :D

In short, i'm opening up a web store supplying kid's ride on electric cars, pedal karts, bikes etc and i need unique and creative descriptions writing for the products. There are only around 50-60 that need descriptions but they need to stand out from the crowd and grab peoples attention as well as contain certain keywords to get my site up the search listings as best possible.

This is something i'm utterly useless with so if anyone could help i'd be forever greatful :D

If you are supplying the items and not making them, does the manufacture have literature you could use?

[bulldog5046]

They do, but it's no good for SEO.

Search engines penalise for duplicate content over different websites. so, to get to the top, i need uniquely written descriptions :)

I have worked with the boggo content before on a previous startup and i still made the best of it but it really wasnt ideal.

They do but not in this way. Duplicate content is penalized when exactly the same taking into consideration spaces, paragraphs, line breaks and html code.
If you google ar7200bx, listing 1 is spectrum and listing 3 is horizon hobby. They are word for the same content that google shows however the 2 sites are very different with other content.
I would imagine that no one has exactly the same content as you across the site or even similar coding behind the scenes. if you launched 2 sites with a different name but that all you changed everything would be like for like and you would get penalized.

On another note, if you were to submit your products to "google base" and your title, content for each product was different to everyone else there would be 2 listings in google shopping, 1 that will show everyone else with a price comparison including postage (and naturally higher up the page based on relevance) and then you with a different description/tittle which could loose you consideration as the user knows that the one with multiple listings shows everyone selling the eaxact product they have looked for.

Sorry for the long winded approach but i have been extremely successful with SEO and web development over the last 10 years.

This will not (perhaps a tiny bit) get you better rankings but it will certainly not penalize you.

Hope this helps

Creative writing huh? There once was a man from South Hants, with an irrational fear of black ants, he needed a poo, but could not find a loo, & ended up shitting his pants. Obviously a member of the South Hants Heli club pmsl!! :smilielol5:
