How SEO is Killing the Art of Quality Article Writing. This article explains how internet publishers obsession with SEO, and SEO Article Marketing in particular are destroying the quality of internet writing....
SEO this. SEO that. Do you know now SEO? Does he know SEO? Do they know SEO? Are you a SEO Expert? I am sick to death of this. What is it with all of this SEO nonsense? It is literally destroying the art form of creative writing, and no one seems to care about anything but "linkbacks" or selling their useless get rich quick schemes or penis enlargement fantasies. Give it a rest people; this is verging on the insane.
Sure, I understand the importance to many, of having their websites list high on the search rankings presented by the Big "G" ( Google, for the less enlightened); but the way it has affected the quality of writing on the internet these days is simply appalling. I mean, seriously, how many times can you reasonably stuff the keyword phrase "free make money online" into a 500 word article, and not have it read like anything but all unnatural, 100% pure sewage waste?
SEO Article Marketing can be a valuable and INFORMATIVE tool, when used with a bit of planning and reasonable common sense. Well written SEO articles can help readers by providing well researched and quality information; moreover, a well written article should be allowed to place very high on Google search ranking results. But I think most will agree, there are some good ideas on where to put the abundance of junk articles out there today.
Contrary to many online publishers way of thinking, not all web surfers are stupid or not able to notice their not so subtle schemes. If you want visitors to value the published work on your website as informative and worthwhile, then write something informative and worthwhile; and stop paying some poor soul in a third world country a very paltry pittance to write keyword saturated garbage.
By the way, that brings me to another reason I am so fed up with this SEO madness. It has created hundreds, if not thousands, of writing sweatshops around the world; and I don't use the term sweatshop lightly either. Because these idiot sellers, of get rich quick schemes and other ridiculous products, need to SPAM the web with thousands of literary sewage waste pieces, they need to find someone who will write these horrible articles for twenty five cents. Because of the insanely low wages offered for their efforts, many American or British writers won't oblige them; so they turn to the poorest developing countries, for writers of their nonsense.
Not only are these jackals totally unscrupulous in their abuse of SEO principles, they are literally slave drivers as well. Shame on them; and if you engage in these types of predatory practices that exploit the poorest and weakest among us, then shame on you too.
Enough is enough. There has to be some decency involved in the way online companies market their wares and businesses. No one would ever stand for similar schemes or actions from a brick and mortar establishment, and we should not accept them from these online mental dwarfs either.
But for you morons that think you can continue to abuse SEO and Google, and use it for your scam and spam, think again; Google is growing up. Google is fast growing out of his childhood, and will soon take his place in the thinking world. His teachers and developers are just now beginning to learn how to best teach Google, and make him aware of the results he displays. Just wait, it won't be long before Google actually understands the crap you're submitting for his search display. When that happens, things will get pretty interesting; I am sure.

You are so right...Writing is horrible in some of these pieces. I use freelancers sometimes, but I try to pay decent wage; so I can get better quality writing. Those poor people being victimized like that.. You're right those who do business like that are garbage. At least, I think so - anyway.
