Say for instance they will submit articles promoting your services to a certain number of sites and create back links for your website from article directory. When you are hiring their article submission service, you must find out whether the cost of article writing is included in the cost of the package or whether you will have to hire a separate writer to write the articles. Their package should indicate how many directories your articles will be submitted to and how many unique articles will be written promoting your services and your website.
