Obviously an inside job because the suppressive persons masquerading as human writers may be into mind control. The “writers” for this site and magazine are not exactly in the top tier. Of course, no amount of eloquence could possibly save this subject matter. I imagine that Dickens himself would come out of a project like this sounding like a whack job- and probably wearing a foil hat and talking to himself on the street while swiping at imaginary bugs.
I hate to say this, but outsourcing to India might actually be an improvement over this. This could be a $3 article, but it looks more like an inside job. To publicize his website and create a backlink, he figured there was no reason to pay anyone to write the article for him since he could write just as well as anyone else. He was wrong. Most of this makes no sense, and his “examples” are the worst kind of flawed logic. (Um, yes, people did order flowers before the advent of the Internet- it’s called the phone.) Much of it is little more than strings of keyword phrases with no point. Would you want to bother with his free report? I didn’t think so. Next time, hire a writer.
This is the classic “I know a lot about computers, so I can obviously write for the Web” mentality. No sir, you can not. Not only is the formatting completely inappropriate for a Web article, the grammar is a train wreck. And if you’re not a grammarphile, you may have been struck by the complete lack of organization and sense.
Holy cliche, Batman! This list of cliches is supposed to interest us in her knowledge about education? Um, I don’t think so. I can’t stress this enough, people- being able to barely string words together doesn’t mean you have any business writing for the public. She probably could have gotten a fairly good article that size for about 10 bucks if she’d bothered.
What’s interesting about this site is that the Indian writers being represented aren’t giving the best impression about their business, but they are likely giving a pretty accurate representation of their collective writing ability. And, in today’s web content market, chances are that they are getting more business than I am. At least they don’t try to hide the fact that none of their content writers are native English speakers.
“If you are fed up of your website under performance or your words are unable to move your visitors our content writers team is ready to join hands with you.”
Why don’t you join hands with someone who makes some damn sense?
One of my favorite passages is obviously, “In other words, a true wordsmith who knows to construct your business idea and give it own language for blistering sales and enhanced traffic.” Pure poetry, my good sirs.
Another interesting little tidbit is that they offer “live chat support with all your team members.” Considering that there’s a 12 hour time difference, exactly how live will it be? Right.
Article directories are really a double-edged sword. On one hand, they do provide valuable backlinks to raise your pagerank and bring visitors in to your site. And, they do provide a lot of freelance writing gigs for ghostwriters. Unfortunately, a lot of site owners aren’t too terribly interested in the quality of the articles they get. They contract them out for the cheapest price they can and only care about the keyword density of the resulting articles. This can lower the price that site owners expect to pay for articles, which contributes to the current freelance mess enfolding around us.
This article is SEO writing at its worst. The listed author could have written it, of course, but it looks more like an outsourced job. I’ve seen these kinds of gigs listed more times than I can count. I’ve also written more Ezine articles than I can count, most of which are now listed under other people’s names. But, I hope the keyword phrases I had to use weren’t as glaringly obvious as this example of keyword writing gone wrong.
This disorganized chatter is some kind of web hosting and/or shopping cart site. Unfortunately, they chose not to hire a writer who is a native English speaker. The site has both a U.S. and an Indian phone number, so the company is comfortable doing business with Americans. So if you want your site in English, why not hire an American to write it? It’s particularly sad because the site looks like it had a lot of potential once upon a time.
I like, “Try before you buy! Unlimited trial online shopping cart.” If it’s unlimited, why would you buy it?
Also special is this gobbledygook: “We do not do entire ecommerce site development from scratch. We provide ecommerce site in hosted fashion i.e. you can purchase any shopping cart but then you have to purchase your e-commerce hosting, install shopping cart, configure it, test different features. We provide all this.” So you don’t provide that, but you do? Thanks. I’ll go somewhere where they explain what they actually sell.
Even sadder, the whole site is nonsense. Imagine what they could have done with this site if they’d put just a couple hundred dollars into a decent writer.
The irony of this situation should be obvious. So, he knows all about Internet marketing. Fabulous. And maybe he does. I’ll never know because I would never take a course from someone with such an unprofessional site. Shouldn’t the first aspect of internet marketing be professionalism? Has anyone ever taken one of his courses?
Oddly enough, this site comes up on the first page of Google if you look up “internet marketing.” As good as that ranking is, I’m betting it hasn’t done him a bit of good. There are no ads on the site and there is zero incentive to look at his 25-50 part courses. I doubt many people will trust days of their time to someone who says, “I decided to give those courses free to public to give everybody chance for better living. Below is actual list of Free Internet Marketing Courses you can choose from.”
Um, thanks. If that’s your best promotional copy, I can just imagine what the courses look like. The sad part is that for 30 bucks he could have gotten something much more professional for his site and he’d probably be raking it in.
My favorite passage has to be, “Give these Free Internet Marketing Courses to your subscribers or web visitors and get 75%.” What’s 75 percent of free?
Here is an example of a site that uses RentACoder to hire Indians to write its content. As you can see, the result is less than stellar. It looks like they’ve tried to edit it a bit but failed to hire an editor to do a better job than they could have. I wonder if they think this is going to bring them business? I’m guessing it hasn’t.
My favorite sentence in this mess has to be, “We don’t but we can help you choose the web hosting plan you consider as being the best for you.” A close second is, “The advent of Internet, the network which keeps you connected to millions of terminals worldwide, has made possible, what was just an imagination in human minds.” Great. Perhaps paying an native English speaker is just an imagination in human minds as well.
There’s a lot of talking on this site, but not much is being said. No actual information is given, but hey, there are some buzzwords thrown in and a feeble attempt at branding. This looks like either an inside job by a webmaster who thought- hey! How hard could writing be? Or, it could be a $2 article job by a webmaster who should have known better. Either way, I wouldn’t count on this site sweeping the Web with its “NO GEEKY COMPUTER STUFF!” Right. I’m sure that insulting website owners is the perfect way to attract them to your site. Nice try, but next time hire a real web writer, please.
In this horrific display of, something, some kind of job site, or possibly car dealership, has a page full of incomprehensible writing. It’s apparently a site for telecommuters to find jobs, or to learn how to drive. Either one. The real irony is that there are people coming to this site looking for telecommuting positions. Couldn’t one of them be hired to write their index page? I mean, they’re right there. Looking for jobs. But hey, the webmaster saved a few bucks.
Seriously great job there- the money saved on hiring a writer was quite the business move.
Here’s a particularly bad one. One of the things I can’t stand is when people outsource medical writing to people who don’t have a proper understanding of English. Medical topics should only be handled by a native English speaker who understands the nuances that can change the meaning of any sentence. Some outsourced medical content is just plain bad, with words that the writer doesn’t understand being transposed and used incorrectly. That’s just plain bad for everyone involved- the site owner who is now open to lawsuits, the writer who has been paid pennies, and the web surfer who just got incredibly bad information about a serious topic.
I think my favorite line in this is: “The dangerous of Asbestos was known from a very long time but those manufacturing companies let their workers and customers to deal with such material showing high Negligence.”
