That's a new one. How bizarre!

I would think that someone with grammar/writing skills that fractured wouldn't be very good at promoting ANY articles ANYwhere!

It has to be a scam of some sort, but damn if I can figure out the angle. If they want to create a link to your site, they can do that without even telling you. Unless, of course, their Internet skills are on par with their use of the language.

Reading that made my head hurt. I'm going to pop some grunt candy and maybe dim the lights.

Say, it could be a pharmacutical company trying to get people to buy pain meds?

Quality of writing has decreased significantly over the years. Working at a law firm in administration, I see poorly written items come across my desk all of the time.

I wonder how many people took this company up on their offer. It sounds like this particular plea has been effective.

@Nikki - I took work in the legal field. Some days I am appalled at what comes across my desk. I think resume cover letters are perhaps the worst!

Their "payoff" is your linking back to their site. Here's why they want it.

Google search results have gotten strict about not listing link farms (those useless pages you often get when you enter a common query, such as "car buying tips" or "good hotels in Vegas").

Since no one links back to those useless pages, one factor Google takes into consideration in its algorithm is how many incoming links there are to your site - e.g., how many people find your site and its information of use.

So: If you accept this offer, some poor slob in Bangladesh will churn out a poorly researched and written piece on a topic of your choice, and all you have to do is link back to their site. If they get enough linkbacks, they rise in the Google results, and they can sell Web advertising for higher prices.

I think this is the same author as the one in the link from a previous blog item where they have a gazillion dollars and need to move it into your bank account.

It would be nice if we could determine a product's worth based on the grammar used to promote it, but sadly, poor writing skills are the norm in this country.

Kevin is exactly right. This is a SEO ploy to build one-way links to their site (which are more valuable in conferring PageRank than bidirectional links (you may get "link exchange" requests from less sophisticated websites who still think that's a good ploy). But if you want decent English, you hire Filipinos, not Bangladeshis.

"It would be nice if we could determine a product's worth based on the grammar used to promote it, but sadly, poor writing skills are the norm in this country."

Hey, I'm perfectly happy to determine a product's worth that way. After all, if they can't be bothered to hire someone who can write legible ad copy, how much can they possibly care about their product?

I did see the grammatical errors and English is my 2nd language.

Wow. That is just sad.

I run a business networking group with a Facebook type network and am amazed at how many people will put up profiles with no headshots/ logos and grammar on par with this.

These same people come to my "networking" events and grouse at the lack of business they have coming in.

Even worse was a financial planner that forwarded along every scam email that showed up in his inbox and then wondered why he had a hard time getting folks to trust him with their money.
