Charles Masterson - 5 hours open for additional clients. - SEO Copywriting Expert - Freelance Technical Writer, United States

I am the team leader for a hard working SEO squad. I can offer promotional copy for a couple of selected companies and 100's of one way text links. We utilize spun article distrubution for links, traffic, PR, & ranking results. After one week of analysis, we can offer a possible realistic time frame for results. Google is cautious and has closed the door on fast solutions for some markets. - Chuck Masterson CMasterson.com
