Re: Demand Media

Just a heads up - Demand media is a content producer for sites such as
eHow.  450 word articles.  Simple.  Keyword dominated to rank reasonably
well.  I don't know who gives the keywords (them or your research) but if
you're looking for a high-end market where you get paid XX per article,
this isn't it.

If you're looking to make money - then ask yourself how many of those kinds
of articles can you pump out in an hour @ $25 per article. And how many
hours a day you want to spend doing it.  There's your number.

Just another way of looking at it.
