Outsource Mess

I tried to read this. I really did. Unfortunately, the splitting headache it gave me made it impossible to read even half of it.

Any information on search engine rankings is always useful. Unfortunately, this article didn’t have any. It also had no paragraph breaks, which makes it incredibly hard to read. If you can read more than a few lines in without getting a headache, I bow to your awesomeness. I fought through the pain to bring you the best of the worst from this obviously-outsourced-overseas mess:

“Be to compose the author of the table as much your article.”

“Webmasters not add sloppily written, riddled with errors articles for their websites. ”

“Note that the text links in the author below the box to use the terms more likely to be used by people in search of sites as mine.”

“By provide other webmasters can use to add content to their websites, can benefit in three ways .”

Obvious Overseas Job

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.”
