These Indian companies really give SEO services a bad name. Yes, it is really cheap. And you get exactly worth for your money; cheap crap. The quality of these services are really bad. Articles are written with tools as Article Writing Wizard. It just doesn’t make sense.
And then they send out emails offering their services. The emails are even full with spelling mistakes, but we are supposed to believe that they are going to do this great job for just a few dollars.
Thanks. But I’d rather do the writing jobs myself.
Content is still the most important part of your website. If you choose to outsource it, you will have to find a really good company.

Exactly, Scott. Great comment – thank you!

Wow….2 cents a word? Makes me wonder what the writing looked like….

Last week I received an email from someone offering his services as a writer for web sites. He boasted on his speed and his ability to write a lot of text on a subject. And he’d do it for 2 cents a word. To me this person looked on writing for web sites as an assembly line job. I’m sure, however, this person will get some business from companies who need writer and are only interested in word counts and low overhead. To me writing is the best part of the job. I like the research and I like to craft the text. I’m not simply looking for filler.

Dumb, yes. Sadly, people think that it’s cost effective to do so – and then they complain about their online conversion rates… :) It’s very true that you get what you pay for!
