Cheap YES -- but DARN cheap so as to project ourselves as the dustbin of SEO.
It pains me when I see submit to 500 directories for $15
$15= Rs. 675 or near-about. Good for those who live in rural areas -- but not those who have internet access and live in urban areas.
So, why offer these kind of services?
According to a study by our Human Resource Development Ministry -- while USA will have 45%, UK have 43% Japan have 39% of its population feeding their countries -- India will have 60% people in working age by 2025. India will be the hub of skilled human resource to feed the world.
So why don't we start being honest - professional?
Why do we use automated submission programs and still claim to provide manual submissions?
We know -- in very recent future we will feed the world -- so letss be responsible guys.
We should not con the foreigners -- as they will be our bros/sis in the next 15-25 years!
