This entire thread is ridiculous. Yes, Essay Advisor's primary objective is to expose sites that do not use American writers. You act as if that is a crime. I'm an American writer (and, no, I am not going to plug my website here because I don't want to be accused of spamming), and I do not appreciate being put out of business by companies that pay their people $1 a page. Furthermore, the quality of the papers that come from these Pakistani and other offshore sites is laughable. But, as the New York Time said, what do you expect for $9.95 a page?

Anyone dumb enough to hire someone who barely speaks English to write their paper deserves whatever they get.

I guess once everyone on Earth is earning $2 a hour and living like street beggars you'll be happy.

And the foreign companies try to persuade their clients they are actually based in the US (not abroad) so that they could charge as much as the companies that in fact are based in the US -- in order to enjoy bigger profits.

Sort of. Actually, it would be better if they were charging the same amount and pocketing the difference, although the quality of their work would still be bad. The foreign companies undercut the American companies and still make a huge profit. I charge $19.95 a page. One of my competitors is charging $9.95 a page. How do I compete with that? You cannot live for $5 an hour in the U.S.

Another thing they do is drive up the costs of advertising. Since they're not paying their writers, they can afford to pay Yahoo, Ask, and Google higher ad rates, which drives up the price for everyone.

There are other tactics too, but I think you get the point. The bottom line is they don't pay their people and their papers poorly written or just plagiarized.

Amy - Can you access Essay Writing Advisor? I got a DNS redirect to a site that I really don't think the people at Essay Advisor want their customers to see.

The site is back up now, apparently, although the internal links do not appear to be working. I tried both versions, .com and .org.

Frightening to think that someone could pull off a DNS redirect like that.
