January 26th, 2010 by Don

Today marks our 7th month of service here at Human Rewriter! Thanks to our great customers we have grown exponentially over these months and literally become the most efficient, highest quality place to get content rewritten.

We are always looking for ways to be better, so always feel free to email your suggestions or just leave comments here on this post. We have many more exciting things in the works, but the next thing we’re adding is a full suite of link building tools to premium accounts.

The newest feature that we’ll be launching in the next few weeks is a link building service where you’ll be able to request for us to submit your content using popular programs such as SENuke. This way you’ll have a real person behind the software doing everything properly without you having to spend any extra time. You’ll be able to submit your article through the service, or your article submissions to build links. That means that after we post your article to ezine we can then run our link building software to build links to that post and boost your rankings to the top.

This feature will only be available to premium members but the value in it is enormous, you’ll be getting access to literally thousands of dollars worth of software for just the $67/month fee. Not to mention all the extra at cost, or no cost services you get when you sign up for premium. Remember the premium special ends tomorrow!

Wordspin Service Discontinued

October 5th, 2009 by Don

Word spins will be removed on Monday (10/12/2009). We have reenabled them despite the backlog status so you can go ahead and order as many as you want in the intervening time. The current backlog was caused mainly due to an abnormal amount of word spin articles.

Less than 10% of our orders thus far have been word spins, yet they take up between half and three quarters of our staff’s time. We are working on some more efficient solutions so we can provide this service again in the future, but for the time being it is being disabled. If you still want word spins in your articles please order them before Monday.

Next week we will be releasing the first look at our update coming at the end of this month. There’s a lot of new great stuff coming to Human Rewriter!

Backlogged Status and Rewrite ETA’s

August 18th, 2009 by Don

Since our delays started our dev team has been hard at work on building a better system for handling delays and keeping you in the loop with your articles. Today we’re putting these changes live, basically we’ve built a much better queue estimation system, added a new status for estimations, and built an estimated time of completion feature for your articles.

Our delivery time estimation now works by doing a fairly complicated weighted average of the turnaround times on the last 100 or so completed orders (Excluding rush orders). This is producing remarkably close estimates on delivery time for new articles and will allow a much more gradual gradiation between estimated turnarounds than our previous system.

Our new backlogged status goes into effect when estimated turn around goes above 72 hours. Backlogging gives you an estimated day range based on the current delays of completed articles. Backlogging automatically turns off rush orders and word spin ordering options. Basically we were receiving very large rush and word spin orders when we were already backlogged, thus causing normal orders to become even more delayed, and this caused a nightmare for most of you as well as our support staff. This is what prompted us to just disable these features when we become delayed, and this will keep some of the same things from happening again in the future. Just to reiterate, if estimated turnaround time goes above 72 hours, rush orders and word spin options will be automatically disabled by our system.

You will also now notice an ETA column on your article overview screen. This is an estimate based on our current turnaround time, the time you created your article, and its position in the queue. Simply check this column to get an idea of where your articles are in our queue and when you can expect them to be done.

We are working very hard to keep you in the loop as much as possible and these new features will help you better understand where your articles are. We are continuing to expand our capacity as fast as possible without compromising the quality of our system, if you have any questions or comments please feel free to email support!

Temporary New Order Suspension

August 11th, 2009 by Don

We are suspending new rewrite orders until 11:59pm on Thursday, August 13th. We have more than doubled our capacity since the delays began to become a serious issue, and submissions have not slowed down. We are reaching an equilibrium and our staff just needs a few days to get the queue cleared out so that our turnaround times return to normal.

We do understand the delays have been tough for you and we have made our best effort to keep you informed. Always feel free to email our support staff with any questions you might have, we do our best to make sure everyone is well taken care of. These delays have grown at an unprecendented and unexpected rate, but we are doing everything we can to reduce them while still maintaining our quality of service.

Growing Pains

August 5th, 2009 by Don

In spite of increasing delays the last week has seen overwhelming growth in the volume of work we are processing. One of the downfalls of offering 36 hour turnaround is that you only have 36 hours to improve the capacity of your system should you grow too fast. Unfortunately (Or fortunately depending on your perspective), the amount of articles we’ve been receiving has been consistently outpacing our ability to add capacity to the system.

We are working as fast as possible to bring everything back up to speed and have already taken great steps to do this. We are building a more thorough delay estimation system and a few tools to help our QA team to better filter out mistakes. It is our goal to keep you as up to date on the situation as possible while we work on improving our ability to produce great articles.

If anything does go wrong in any of your rewrites, please just send an email to support@humanrewriter.com and we will make sure everything is set right in a quick and effective manner.

Also we will be in New York for Affiliate Summit, we’ll post a few more details later, but if you say hi to us and take one of our business cards there may be a special discount on it for you:)

Delays + A New Server

July 29th, 2009 by Don

First of all we’ve been operating at around a 4-10 hour delay the last few days with most articles going out at around 40 hours. This is due to an unanticipated massive influx of business over the weekend, we are briniging in more capacity into the system but delays are going to be expected to continue for possibly another few days. There are a few things we’re working on to help keep you informed, the first will start estimating delays in the estimated turnaround time on the order rewrite screen.

We’ve been monitoring the data very closely, and we’re contemplating changing our turnaround time to give us even more flexibility on delivery. Our goal is always as fast as possible, but if we get a lot of jobs on the weekend they may pile up into the rest of the normal week and cause delays. We may just have to change our turnaround to 2 business days due to this, but we will examine this further this week and over the weekend. Our goal is to provide the best quality rewrites first, and fast turnaround second.

On a better note, if you’ve sent in a lot of articles you’ve probably noticed we have some perfomance issues when your account gets big. That’s why we will be moving to a much beefier server tonight at 4am est. You will notice a drastic increase in performance if your account is high volume, but if you’ve submitted less than 100 jobs it might not be as noticeable. The new server will also greatly increase export times, and give much less 500 errors when exporting. The server switch will be instant, but the DNS will have to propogate, so if your ISP is slow to propogate, the site may be down for you for a few hours.

Human Rewriter, Not Super Human Rewriter

July 12th, 2009 by Don

Last week was a very interesting week for us over here at Humanrewriter.com, mostly because we are human and not machines.� We’ve come to an understanding since our opening, that our clients occasionally submit articles while most of our writers are unavailable.� That means that sometimes writers can’t start working on these articles until they are� already 12 hours old.� This has created a sticky situation where articles can sometimes slip past our 24 hour deadline, due simply to the fact that most of our writers sleep at night like normal people.

To alleviate this problem, we are extending our turnaround time to 36 hours.� � This extra time will allow us to cope with these unpredictable incongruencies between supply and demand. � However, it’s still our goal to provide articles within 24 hours as much as humanly possible.

To help you get a better understanding of when your articles should be completed, we’ve added a new Queue Estimator feature above the Order Rewrites form on any Article Overview page.

July 6th Update – Big Changes!

July 6th, 2009 by Don

Hello everyone, today we are adding some major new features to our service. There are 2 main new features that will alter the way you use us in a big way.

1. Bulk Export

We have added the ability to bulk export ALL of your rewritten articles at once. Not only that but there are three ways to do it! You can� download every single completed rewrite as is using the “Direct Export” option. You can also download every article in full spinner syntax using the “Direct Spin Syntax Export” option. Arguably the most powerful option is the “Complete Spin Export”, which lets you download up to 50 spins of every article. Each spin is compiled from all completed rewrites and word spins, so the final delivery is ready to use, fully spun content.

You can use the exporter on your dashboard, in any campaign article list, or in the complete article list. You can either check the articles you want to export by hand, or just use one of the preset options (Select All, Select All Unexported, Select All Completed). You can also choose to download all of your original articles and set how many spins you want if you’re using the Complete Spin Export. Once you’re ready just hit the “Export Articles” button and all your articles will be downloaded in txt format in a zip file.

2. Word Level Spins

You can now order spins on the word level in your rewrites. You can currently order up to 4 word spins per sentence with up to 4 options each. When using this feature our writers will write spin syntax directly into your sentences for you just like this: (Word1|Option1|Option2|Option3).

This is a great and cost effective way to generate real working spins in your sentences, no thesaurus or dictionary required. Having a person there to make sure each spin is correct will ensure that you can create even more unique content for less money!

Other Important Features And Updates

Rejection Reasons - You can now easily specify the reason you are rejecting a sentence so that we can make sure you get exactly what you were looking for!

Article Status Icons - On the article list screen all articles that have been exported now have an icon next to their title. Also articles that have rejected sentences that have not been turned in will display a gray caution sign, when the sentences are turned in it will display a red caution sign.

Public Free Trials – We are now running a public free trial system, this will allow all new users to easily request free trials which we can then approve on our backend. This will help your affiliate marketing efforts in great ways!

Affiliate Reporting Tools - Our full affiliate reporting system is now in place so you can see all of your previous performance statistics, as well as your current term statistics by day.

Full Support Documentation – The support page now has all the documentation you need to use our service.

Forgot Your Password - We had a few bugs in this system, it will now work properly for everyone.
