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.

Blog SEO - How to Optimize Your Business Blog

I've recently begun to put my new book online and make it available to everyone ... for free. You can download the entire book in PDF format, or you can read it online. Actually, I'm still working through the online part. There are, after all, about 140 pages of content to format for web viewing!

Check out the Table of Contents to see what's online already.

I wanted to share with you a section I've recently completed, because it's a popular topic these days. It's part of the Business Blog chapter of the book, and it talks about blog SEO ... that is, optimizing your business blog for better search engine visibility and traffic levels.

Here's an excerpt from that section:

"Search engine visibility is a big part of online marketing. Thus, it's also a big part of blog marketing. The goal of blog SEO is to improve your blog's ranking in major search engines, which will also increase your blog's traffic, readership and interaction levels. Fortunately, business blogs have certain characteristics that make them ideal for search engine option / search engine visibility."

You can read the rest here. I'll post again when the entire book is online (though you can currently download the whole thing in PDF format).

Austin Mover - M&M Super Moving

We love our clients. We love them so much, in fact, that we are happy to give them the "shout out" here on our blog.

And since we are an Austin-based company, we are especially pleased to feature a local client in today's blog post. M&M Super Moving is an Austin mover that serves the entire state of Texas. They can also help with interstate moves within the United States.

I thought this would be a timely promotion, seeing as how we are coming up on the "moving season" here in Austin (spring and summer). So when you think of Austin moving companies ... think of my good friends at M&M Super Moving.
