ScriptLance Rant. Beta 1.1

So here is my beef. I posted a job on there a few days ago and figured I would look at the types of jobs being posted. I ended up searching for "seo" related jobs. What I find is insane.

I find jobs with a max budget set at $50 and the description of the job goes something like this:

"Hi, I need SEO work done for two of my sites. I need to be #1 in google for [insert huge keyword here], I need this done in under three weeks as well. Only real experts need apply."

First off, NOBODY can say 100% if they can get any listing. I mean maybe the big shots like jim or shoemoney. But in general, people cant make that kind of claim. Second, the people posting the jobs, do they really think they are going to get true "SEO" for $50 dollars? Third, there are like a ton of bids on these jobs. The bidders, mostly with broken english will reply something like:
"Greeting Sirs, We are established SEO Company with plenty knowledge with this types of job. We will meet your needs within the deadline times. Thanks.

-[insert hard to pronounce long company name here]"


Its just silly. People really have no idea wtf SEO is. I mean, I thought I was a noob. These people are really in the dark...

 

I hate the quality (or lack of) workmanship on scriptlance. Many of the workers who bid on projects are noobies "practicing" their newfound skill and pump out the work as fast as they can then follow it up with incessnant emails demanding payment
