Philippines is Emerging as the Top Choice for Outsourcing

The Philippines is now the emerging top choice for Outsourcing. This is based on an article from the Philippine Daily Inquirer dated March 8, 2008. The Philippines outsourcing industry is now increasing at a higher pace than its major competitor which is India. The projected increase is 23.4% as compared to India which is only 10%, Malaysia by 17%, Thailand by 15%, and Singapore by 8%.

This is a good development for the Philippine Outsourcing Industry. As we continue to take a bigger part in the market share for outsourcing, it would mean more jobs and recognition of the quality of work by filipino professionals.

The report was based on the Asian Contact Center Benchmarking Report. “We noted that there is a shift to the Philippines from India as the top-of-mind choice for outsourced services, especially in customer-related work,” according to Catriona Wallace, president of Callcenter.net. The study was sponsored by United Kingdom-based Autonomy etalk and Alcaltel-Lucent unit Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories.

Link Baits: Ethical or Unethical Strategy:

Driving traffic to your website using a link bait is a good strategy. However, there are some webmasters or bloggers who are using this strategy at the expense of other SEO's especially those who are still new in the SEO industry.

Last week, i found a blog article criticizing a filipina freelance seo about her poor english. A clear discrimination, a racial discrimination. The blog is owned by an Australian (a blog guru/expert?). Although he already made an apology for that post but still the article is still active. What is the purpose of that?

For me, its a link bait. Its driving traffic to his blog.

At what extent should a webmaster, a seo, a blog expert, or an internet marketer use this strategy? Should we apply unethical strategies just to get traffic to our site? How can we say that we are experts, a professional if we discriminate other people (other races).

What is SEO ethics? It seems that it is of less significance in todays SEO industry.
