Article Author Authorities and Expert Writers - Something to Consider

Many online article writers who really care about the venue find too many poorly done articles polluting the online article submission sites. They are quite frankly offended and some have asked that there be some method developed to differentiate their articles from what they consider to be trash or "Thinly Veiled Content" as they have coined.

Indeed this makes sense, although we must also understand that the average internet reader really and truly does have an 8th grade reading level in the USA and it is a lower average in many other parts of the world, so we need to also understand that reality, even if we choose not to use that fact in a decision making process of determination for level of content quality.

Is there a way to develop a system by which good articles and poor articles are more easily judged? Could we use the number of article views to guestimate the quality? How about the number of publishers who have captured and re-published the content on the web?

Well this is a great point, but the number of article views cannot be the criteria, in fact it might be the opposite as catchy titles might bring more run of the mill unsophisticated internet surfers to the articles, which might not be the exact clientele one is looking for. Although if someone is selling something silly or some popular or trendy trinket, then it is their exact customer and thus we need to understand that there are many online article marketers with many different objectives, types of target customers and reading levels to deal with?
