India SEO Company - World Capital of Content Thieves

I am well aware that India has been undergoing an Internet boom in recent years. Being in the Internet marketing field myself, I can't help but notice such developments.

As the owner of more than 35 websites, I get a ton of spam emails from SEO companies based in India, and they all seem to make bold promises about search engine rankings that I would never use to attract clients -- the kinds of promises that are a combination of fantasy and deceit.

My favorite claim made by SEO companies in India is the one that goes like this: "We can deliver #1 position in Google or your money back." Anyone who practices search engine optimization for a living knows that you could never guarantee #1 ranking in Google for any competitive phrase. See my article on purple polka-dot widgets for an explanation.

So it's pretty clear to me that most SEO companies in India view the Internet as a get-rick-quick scheme, and not as a communication medium that deserves respect. I know a lot of Indian SEO companies will email me with harsh words for saying this, and I'm willing to accept that. Because never before have I seen so many bad apples in one tree.

I've also noticed a disturbing amount of content theft that seems to be coming from Internet entrepreneurs and SEO "companies" in India. I publish a lot of articles on this website and other websites that I own, and I use tools like Copyscape to detect webmasters who have stolen content from one of my websites. I do my best to trace the offending websites back to their source, and about 90% of the time the source is in India. To be more specific, much of the stolen content is the result of some India SEO company or another.

So based on my direct observations over a period of several years, I can safely assert that India is the world capital of copyright infringement and content theft. How proud they must be to hold the trophy in this arena. It truly is an international accomplishment when India SEO company becomes synonymous with "thief."

To all of those content thieves out there who make a living from stealing the work of others, I say the following:

If you have to steal content in lieu of creating your own, you are a lazy creature of inferior intellect. Lazy creatures never fare well for long.

SEO company India = Machiavellian approach to Internet marketing. SEO company India = content thieves and lazy individuals.
