Was there a blow job competition in Greece or has the great news machine been taken in again?
Reuters is reporting that some place in Greece nine British women were arrested for entering in an oral sex competition. That a pretty far fetched claim especially when you take into account the reporter, Daniel Flynn, attributed with writing the story. Searching the Reuters archives for “By Daniel Flynn” site:reuters.com reveals that Mr. Flynn only reports on Africa . Furthermore the reporters the stories on Rueters have never been frivolous or titillating story.
I suspect someone hacked Mr. Flynns access to Reuters but I have no way of determining that.
At first I suspected this was a case of Reuters repeating linkbait but that doesn’t appear to be the case. I can’t find a reference to the story in blog search or news searches earlier that the Reuters article. Despite the linkbait
At any rate the story is blowing up the wires and provides a demonstration of how powerful stories like this are. Write a story with sex, some outrageous behavior and a twist of social commentary and you have all the elements of linkbait.

Hire Copywriters
You can hire professional copywriters to create in your content. These people are in high demand so they cost a lot; The ability to create a compelling story, effective sales letters, or motivating blurbs is a very rare skill that is developed over a long period of time. You might think the cost is to much but when you think about the difference it can make when it comes to the effectiveness your sales letter or link bait the cost is quite low. One of my online friends for generic copywritng that I recommend is Cshel she offers seo press releases and seo copywriting.
Craigslist or Problogger
Advertise in the writing gigs section there are many people who will write content for you for reasonable prices. You might have to try several people out before you get a stable of writers you can count on. I have had great luck with this especially when I am looking for writers from a particular region. Prices and quality vary widely when get writers from here but often times I only need competent and honest writers not necessarily the best.
As an alternative you can pay to post a job offering on Problogger to hire bloggers. I have never done this but Michael “Social Media Consultant” Gray gave a ProBlogger review that was glowing.
Article Writing Contests
People love to win things especially when its for doing things that are easy or they are already interested in. Using instinct can be an affordable way to purchase content or buy links. One website I offered $20 Amazon gift certificates to hear the best stories about their experiences at a local amusement park. For just $60 dollars in gift certificates I got content that would have cost me several hundred dollars. An added benefit was the content was personal and passionate since it was about a topic they already loved.
Article Writing Services
I have never used them but there are lots of article writing services out there. Quick searches search engines or webmaster forums like Digital Point will turn up many of them. My friends say they can be quite good but just like when your hiring off of a site like Craigslist its a buyer beware market. Remember that anyone can appear to be a big company on the internet so make sure you check their background or only start with a small order.
Paid Article Banks
Some are very professionally run like Constant Content and offer different variaties of purchasing of content. I am dubious though of the upside of buying content thats going to be purchased else where. In a world where someone can amass and republish peoples content you want to be the source of the content inorder to get the full value of that article as it gets scrapped to bits. How is a search engine supposed to decide what publisher is the authority when its faced with several people publishing the same article you paid 20 or 30 dollars for? A better option would be just to buy website content in bulk from me or elsewhere since your likely not going to get any authority for it anyways. Be sure to add and feature original writing to the website using article bank content so you don’t dilute your authority.
