I will make this post as succinct as possible. I am currently doing some assistant research on the economics of essay buying. As soon as I began searching Google for pricing variance, I came to realize the vast number of fraudulent websites that exist. I found this website and realized that this community might be able to point me in the right direction.
I am trying to figure a number of things, and collect relevant data. Just to provide an example, I am tasked with figuring out the following:
•Pricing metrics (# of words, time 'til completion)
•Does pricing vary with discipline?
•Are the web firms simply middle-men who link students with free-lancers?
•Do they advertise for employees?
•What distinguishes one firm from another?
If anyone is interested in pointing me in the right direction, please message me. Thank you!

you have just opened the sluice gates to a huge, bilious tidal wave of bickering.

mimsyjubjub: Pricing metrics (# of words, time 'til completion)
Visit some sites to get the answer. Obviously, the more words you need, the more it will cost. Same about the completion time.
mimsyjubjub: Does pricing vary with discipline?
There are less contract writers who specialize in physics than the ones who specialize in English Literature, so in most cases 'Yes.'
mimsyjubjub: Are the web firms simply middle-men who link students with free-lancers?
The simple answer is 'Yes.'
mimsyjubjub: Do they advertise for employees?
No. All websites I know (and I know hundreds of them; I think WritersBeware is the only one who knows more :) advertise for freelance/independent contract writers. Those that use the word 'employee' (happens very sporadically) also mean 'freelance/independent contract writers' but their problem is they are foreign-based companies that don't understand English/legal nuances well enough to write a meaningful ad.
mimsyjubjub: What distinguishes one firm from another?
Read this forum and you'll see the difference. In general, some companies abide the American/British laws (because they are based in the US/UK) and others pretend to be 'American/British' companies, lie about their location and qualifications, and they think the relevant laws don't apply to them.

Major,
I did visit a number of sites. The websites from which I collected the majority of my Excel data typically had very apparent pricing schemes. However, I got the feeling that said sites were completely fraudulent. For example, one website I collected data on had a Montenegro domain.
So, full-time employment with these firms is fairly unheard of in the industry?
I appreciate your responses. I will muse over some more detailed questions to ask.

What do you mean by that?

The only full-time employees may be the owner/s. All others are outsourced contractors or sales people (but it also depends on the business mode). Of course, fraudulent sites may claim they have 'directors, mangers' etc. (especially in their 'press releases'), but in fact all the claims are only creative imagination of their outsourced PR/keyword freelance writers.

Web programmers are useful too (Russian are one of the best). Accountants for large firms do the job too.

That's actually a good question. Are you Editor75's friend?

I have a website and the script works itself without the need for extra employess (besides me). All you should do is to advertise on craigslist or buy ads on Google. Everything else is automatic.
