SEO: Is The Job Market dead?

[razz4900]

This is a very serious question that needs to be asked. I currently own three(3) websites that rank in the top 15 with Google, MSN and Yahoo. I understand SEO: content, meta tags, link building and so on.

Problem? It seems that more people are willing to pay nothing for something. People from countries such as India are becoming a major problem. They are willing to complete SEO work for a cheap price. Forums such as digitalpoint are NOT helping the problem because it is free and allowing those who think they know SEO to offer their services at a cheap rate. Mean while those who are hiring are still not understanding you get what you pay for.

Yes, I do excellent work including sending out well writen proposals. It is becoming frustrating that I have to deal with those from India, Russia and etc.

hei razz
i don;t treat indians in a badway
Our economy are lesser than yours
so if you charge 100$$$ we can do it in 50$$ so it helps out that way

So tell me why do people bid for indians bids - because indians cost less & do the same job as you do for 100$$$

Thats why

Yeah, here in India, we have the man power and cost of living is less. And also the younger generation is much concerned about earning even while they are studying. So, people coming to each and every field are high and there is high competition between them.

That's the reason why most of the companies are outsourcing their jobs to India. They can have their work done at half the price they pay in other developed countries.
