Ensure your SEO company employs people who can speak English
Posted 05 Aug 2011
If you're going to employ an SEO consultant, make sure they can speak English. One commonly employed SEO method is to leave comments on relevant blogs that include links back to your website. Here are examples of blog comments that I WON'T be publishing:
"I undoubtedly did not know that. Learnt something new right now! Thanks for that".
"I just needed to say this really is an awesome weblog, many thanks for your post!"
"Enjoyed examining this, very good stuff, appreciate it".
"Thank you for sharing this information with us…Cheers"
"For what its worth I will be back again tomorrow, extremely inspiring. Later".
"Magnificent piece of writing, much of the material was particularly valuable".
"Hey there admin, just wanted to leave a quick comment to say that I liked your post".
"Extremely educating blog, bookmarked the web-site in interest to see far more!"
The above comments all came from SEO consultants that were blatantly trying to put links on my blog. There is no subtlety. Had they actually taken the time to read the blog post and write a comment that was relevant to the blog, I might have published them. These are all spammers.
The moral of the story: If you're going to hire an SEO consultant, ensure that they can read and write proper English. Ask your SEO consultant who works for them and where they are based. If they are not UK based and English is not their mother tongue, they should at the very least have an English degree. If your SEO company won't disclose who works for them, don't hire them!

Totally agree with you on this, poor English is a turn-off to visitors and it spoils the brand.
In regards to reading the comments, YES it just takes couple of minutes to read a blog and write something related to it. But most of the comments mentioned in your post are submitted through software's, I delete hundreds of them in a day.

Another tip to spot spam comments is to copy/paste the comment within "quotes" into Google and see how many instances there are!

It is laughable what they think they can get away with, and, more so, the comments that get published. A long stream of 'congratulations on a most excellent article' doesn't make an article look credible; it just proves that the publisher has either been flattered by the comment and/or don't realise how these spammers work.

Sadly, that's the reason why spammers and SEOs are being grouped together, SEOs are more likely to be called spammer, because of their way of commenting, lashing out on blogs with irrelevant stuffs. One way on preventing them is using the HTML "no follow" code on every link that spammers would post, two is to redirect the links that they are giving, usually spammers don't tend to check link direction, and this techniques are proven effective already.

Your are definitely right they must be proper English in the post and must target the content that is written that would give more weight age to your website too!

Better if the SEO of each company can speak in English. If the SEO person is good in english, he can post or write articles and blogs that is not a SPAM. When it comes in commenting, better if their post is related to the blog and it is interesting.

Sadly it's true. I'm in the field and too often have to endure seeing horrible spelling errors, and a lack of understanding about writing in the English language. While I still believe relevant commenting for the purpose of adding to the conversation and gaining a link is valuable, just creating some generic response to garner attention is the definition of crappy SEO.
