Why You Should Not Outsource Link Building to India

Posted on September 27, 2011 Written by Bill Hartzer

As a search engine optimization expert, it seems as though I have been getting a lot of unsolicited emails from people in India and other countries outside the United States wanting me to outsource link building to them. There are a lot of reasons why I will not, ever, outsource search engine optimization work (or outsource link building), not to mention the fact that I have tried it before–and the work was inferior. Not to mention the fact that I can honestly tell you that it actually hurt some SEO efforts, not help them. But I digress.

So, I was saying that I get a lot of emails, and even some phone calls, from people wanting me to outsource SEO projects to them. In particular, SEO projects like something that’s necessary an important for SEO: outsource link building. Well, in this case, I just received an email this morning that is a perfect example of why I will NOT outsource link building to companies. Not just because they are spamming me, but because of this. I have to admit, this email is hilarious:

After I stopped laughing at this email, I actually started reading. There are so many things that are horribly wrong with this email that the person who wrote it should be fired on the spot. I have to admit, this is one of the worst (funniest) outsourcing email that I have received. Ever. Not only is the grammar so bad that I couldn’t even understand what they’re saying, they’re offering to sell text links–which is against Google’s Acceptable Webmaster Guidelines.

And not only did they use the CC field (instead of the BCC field) to copy everyone, they even added [email protected], and sent this email to Google themselves.

Sure, Cherry, I would be happy to hire you to build some links for me–to my competitor’s websites.
