SEO Outsourcing: The Good and the Bad

SEO outsourcing, like most outsourcing ventures, fueled discords and debates that hone in on the controversial issues that surround it. Basically, most of the controversies are based on whether or not outsourcing is more of a liability than a solution to economic growth and stability. However, the argument that caught my attention is the one that is heavily influenced by nationalistic and oftentimes emotional premises that are central on the injustice of its practice and its detrimental effects on personal lives.

Presently, the people who are antagonistic towards outsourcing passionately argue that it is the major culprit why local economies, such as those of the U.S.A. and U.K., are in decline. Since SEO outsourcing involves contracting the services of companies from foreign countries, local citizens are thus robbed of prospective jobs, concurrently increasing unemployment rates. Valuable opportunities to develop and hone the necessary skills of the outsourced task are lost, making it harder to contend and qualify for positions in various businesses. The resulting economic decline exacerbated the financial struggles of citizens, making it increasingly difficult for them to provide for themselves and their families.

True as it may be that SEO outsourcing contributed to the downward slope of their economies, I cannot help but notice that they are blinded from witnessing and appreciating the positive effect it has on others. Majority of the countries to which SEO tasks and so on are outsourced are third world countries such as India and the Philippines where unemployment rates and economic stability are teetering on the edge of disaster. The jobs provided by outsourcing fed, clothed and sheltered countless of impoverished families.

So what is the final verdict? I believe that for now, there is none. No one can say for sure that the suffering of a particular group outweighs that of the other. As the financial crisis continues, there will always be hopeful business ventures and methods that aim to alleviate, but inadvertently cause depression. Perhaps the day will come when both sides will be equally compensated when the global market finally gets back on its feet. But until then, the debate ensues.
