Why the days of "outsourcing SEO" are numbered and you might want to get an offline job
- SEO |
Another day another unsolicited PM from someone that wants to know an easy and cheap way to rank and make money. This time the requests indicates that he doesn't even want to watch videos if it comes down to learning.
He just wants a cheap "outsourcer" (why the poor soul PMs me of all people I have no idea). As a matter of fact the cheap part is redundant. 9 times out of 10 what most mean by outsourcer is someone who works dog cheap. Its kind of like "VA"
My entire answer to him was and I quote
Why is this answer actually sound? Heres why. The goal of Google is NOT to eliminate all spam, all link buying or even all self backlinking. Thats a fallacy. Google knows its unlikely. Thats like Police saying they will end all drugs in the US.
Its not happening. The goal though is to make life the hardest they can for people doing all those things. Either make it take a lot of work by doing away with the cheapest easiest kind of links (which they are getting very successful with) or make it much more expensive to operate. If they can weed out 75% of the marketers then its mission accomplished.
99% of offers you will see out there from "outsourcers" at sub $100 a month are for what most people here already know are crappy links. There are a few people here and there trying to make up cheap prices with volume but they do it only for awhile until they find out they can't.
Cheap "Outsourcing" is dying. Tiered link building is the one and only use of software products like SEnukeX, Magic Submitter and GSA. Once Google slams that door shut the outsourcing market is dead at those low prices.
If you are too lazy to learn any other kind of SEO and want everything to be cheap - save yourself the time
and go get an offline job to make extra money.
