I know it can be tempting to outsource mundane work like directory link building, however thankfully this form of link building is being devalued. You can spot outsourced English a mile away and it will likely cost your busy more than it would save...

People were of the belief that Indians or chinese would love to work for Americans because of the powerful Dollar rate .Not just a few days back , i have seen several indian companies or professionals start charging clients in Euros and Pounds because of the falling dollar rate . What some people consider as atrocious sweat shop rates ...is only relative . I have also come across hundreds of Americans who "want , demand sweatshop rates, and claim they can not afford to pay more " , so it is not ONLY the fault of Indians or Chinese , if any Americans are out of jobs , because of outsourcing .

The information contains on this published page is very useful and impressive. Thanks. "Kari" - As long as your points and indications are concerned, I believe, The SEO and Outsourcing firms in the West, America's, Australia and Oceania working really well, specially when it comes to user and search engines friendly web sites. However the companies in Pakistan and India are no behind as well. They offer the services on cheap costs, because the labor is available on lower rates, as well as they pay less taxes and are supported some what by the countries, since the IT was recently started in such countries specifically in Asia that contains the current players i.e. Pakistan and India. As per your comment. We as companies will take and respect all our clients as the special humans since they give us business and let us run either small firms or top established companies. In Pakistan and India, when a 100 dollars customer come to the company. We deal it very well, provide them the quick backup support, and the same customer next time pays the 1000 dollars for any other projects they may have. If he does not come back, but was satisfied, he reccomends to all their family, friends, and colleagues, and this gives a great business ahead, and accomodate the less prices were earned from that customer in the begining. I agree. The higher prices mean, the quality work. But the quality work in Asia is affordable on cheap and low costs (prices) e.g. both SEO and Web design services. Normally we being a Web Design and SEO Company, recieve minimum 7-orders from our US-Australian-and European partners, They get the work on higher prices, and we do work for them on the low prices, so the both parties may earn. Anyway - I thank you - Bigoakinc - for their great work and I wish all you guys at "Bigoakinc" very best for all your up-coming tasks! Regards: Tina Hello:

We have the same issues. When a perspective client tells me they can get an SEO company for $200/month I immediately think of India. I can't and won't compete with that. Hopefully the quality of our work speaks for itself. Of course, clients who want SEO for that price wouldn't be good clients for us. Good luck on your <a href="http://thecaffeinatedblog.typepad.com/" rel="follow" rel="nofollow">Caffeinated Blog</a>! Kari, I hear you. We have the same issues.

I've been on the other side of the coin, hiring and working with outsourced freelancers, and the quality was not great compared to their native English-speaking counterparts. Now as a freelancer myself, I strive to deliver high-quality content; but I refuse to undervalue myself and charge sweatshop rates in order to compete. It's a challenge, to say the least, to make those focused solely on the bottom line see the bigger picture.

But as this cartoon demonstrates, if you take work away from Americans and give it to Native Americans, Americans still win. :) By the way, the resemblance is striking: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/Rhilton4u/Sports%20Photography/BraveUnderStadium.jpg He's probably wondering when his outsourcing gig is going to end.
