Outsourcing Organic Search Engine Optimization? Make Sure Your SEO Vendor Keeps All Project Work Inside.

Is Your SEO Vendor Outsourcing Your Search Engine Optimization Project?

As the number of companies offering search engine optimization services continues to grow, the quality of Organic/Natural SEO services being provided is rapidly declining.

One recent development in the SEO field that compromises the integrity of our industry is the outsourcing of the organic/natural seo portion of the SEM contract to the lowest bidder, usually an inexperienced overseas firm.

Many advertising agencies and large marketing firms have recently created a "Full-Service SEO/SEM Division" and quickly discovered that unlike SEM that involves simple management of keyword bids and delivery of high margin invoices for working with SEM Admin Tools, Organic SEO is time and labor intensive.

Organic/Natural SEO is quite labor-intensive and requires specialized skill sets.

Clients with larger websites (and in the most need of experienced and skilled organic seo specialists) actually present the lowest margins to many "Full Service SEM/SEO shops", if the Organic SEO portion is too complicated in scope the man-hours involved chew up any profit margin.

Shifting expensive man-hours and reducing labor costs off-shore, increase project profits. That is why outsourcing Organic/Natural SEO is becoming more popular than ever, especially with marketing firms now offering Low Grade Search Engine Optimization Services for one singular purpose: TO RUN OUT THE NEAREST DOOR WITH MORE CLIENT CASH!!!.

New overseas firms are springing up to help many SEM/SEO marketing agencies by assuming the: costly manual labor that SEO services require.

Check out this blind partnership request we received from an overseas vendor with $3.00 an labor at the ready. Here's the message we received complete with mysterious language parameters.

Many times the software programs used to create text by these off shore firms acutally populates website content in similar fashion, some sort of new hybrid language that confuses spiders and users and only works to reduce keyword rankings.

Here's today's email message:

??? what ???

We receive these types of blind SEO outsource offers daily.

As the text of message above states many SEO firms are in over their heads and are outsourcing SEO project work to try and minimize man-hours and retain margin on projects.

Do all that you can to ensure that your full-service SEM/SEO provider is not shipping the SEO portion of your contract overseas to these type of firms offering inexperienced, cheap, foreign labor.
