The Paranormal Blog

Since I got into the subject of writer's block here yesterday, and how unfortunately I'm going through a bout of it as I type I thought I would try to write a bit further on the topic, and in fact expand upon by sharing some of my thoughts on websites that have paid for content.

Content is key to a successful website, without content no one will read it, and no one will find it. Perhaps this is why I stress a bit when I do have writer's block although we are very fortunate to have many contributors of what in my opinion are good research papers for the Paranormal Studies & Investigations Canada (PSICAN) website.

We are non-profit and we are still in the process of seeking charitable status through the government so we do not utilise any form of research paper writing service to bolster the content for our website, nor do I think we will ever need to. However, it came to my attention not to long ago that some of the larger paranormal websites out there are taking advantage of articles, and research papers for sale much the same way large news sites, and corporate websites do.

I personally have mixed feelings on this practice of using paid content on paranormal sites. On the one hand with content again being key I do understand why some website operators trying to make a living off of the paranormal would resort to this to insure their sites remain popular. However, how trustworthy is this content? Is there a taint to reports of certain phenomenon when a professional writer is involved in the process. I do admit to coming across some reports that are so well written, and read so much like fiction it does make me wonder.
