Outsource to India? Not me.

A little Skype conversation with "Harry H" in India:

ok ron thanks for your reply, but if you want any services like web site development and web applications development like ecommerce websites, corporate websites, websites in Joomla CMS etc please feel free to contact me We will provide you free cost estimate for your requirement.

[6:37:30 AM] Harry H says: Once again Thanks..!

[6:37:42 AM] Ron Castle says: Why would we want to send business to you when we can do a better job here in the USA?

[6:38:55 AM] Harry H says: We can offer you same quality of work with minimum cost so this will help you to grow your business.

[6:39:43 AM] Ron Castle says: Ah, it's about money. So what happens to your job when someone in some other country can do better work than you do for less money? Will you send your business to them?

[6:40:58 AM] Ron Castle says: If what we do was only about money then you would already have all my customers' business?

[6:41:54 AM] Ron Castle says: When all you have to sell is about price, then you have a problem.

[6:42:18 AM] Ron Castle says: Here is my offer to you:

[6:43:23 AM] Ron Castle says: We insource SEO work from SEO companies in India and other countries who cannot optimize their own websites to earn top rankings on Google. When this happens, they don’t have to send unsolicited emails or Skype messages like the one you sent me.

As you know, unsolicited email is the lowest form of Internet marketing and is highly detested here in the USA. This can only diminish your honorable reputation – SPAM is a four letter word.

It must be very discouraging to you to know that you are working hard trying to communicate, but you messages are seldom read and most people who receive them automatically despise you?

This is not a good way to earn new business. This is why I am replying to your message.

The days of outsourcing SEO work from the USA are coming to a close for overseas companies who cannot be found by their top rankings in Google for their own websites.

If you cannot do this for yourself, and the only way you can market your services is by sending SPAM emails, why should someone in the USA believe that you can do it for them?

Most importantly, we also assist overseas SEO companies with excellent copywriting and copy editing by expert American copywriters.

Many people outside the USA write and speak American English very well, but not good enough to be competitive with the best American native English language copywriters. This little difference is a huge competitive advantage.

If you expect to earn top rankings and conversions to inquiries and online sales, this nuance is extremely important.

If you are looking for the ultimate competitive advantage available to an outsourcing SEO company, we will be pleased to assist you. The power of an American SEO company helping you is unassailable in these challenging economic times and you will be able to out-compete all of your outsourcing SEO competitors.

Contact us today. We will help you succeed.

Best wishes,

Ron Castle

[6:44:44 AM] Ron Castle says: This is a standard message I send to every SEO company in India who sends me an unsolicited email. You cannot do what we do, but we can do it for you.

[6:44:58 AM] Ron Castle says: When you are ready for our assistance I will be pleased to call you.

Update February 18, 2009

A common question asked by folks who are not familiar with professional SEO services, is how long does it take to get new content into the Google index?

Assuming that your website is already in the index and that you have been keeping your content current and have a xml sitemap updated when you add, remove or modify content, here is one answer.

My page about outsourcing which is linked from the title of this post went online February 11. The original version of this blog post went online the same day. This blog post showed up in the Google index February 15. The web page showed as being cached on February 16 but had no rankings. The web page was ranked overnight yesterday and if you search for Does Outsourcing Help America at Google this morning you will see my page ranked # 2 out of 4,350,000 pages containing those four words.

18 - 11 = 7 days to earn a ranking

16 - 11 = 5 days to get crawled and cached (4 days in the case of the blog post)

Based on observing my own work, this is typical for a well maintained website. The record for me for getting crawled, cached and ranking so far in 2009 is a little less than 48 hours, which is luck of the draw for hitting the timing just right with the GoogleBot.

Lots of folks who contact me about improving their websites tell me others have told them MONTHS for getting changes in the index. If that's what you are being told, politely end the conversation and look elsewhere.

We will be glad to show you how or teach you how to do this yourself. If you want to do it yourself, read my new Do It Yourself SEO page.
