Do you trust a website written in broken English

    Recently I've noticed quite a few sites (mostly weight loss related) written in broken English.

    What do you think about sites that are written like that? Do you trust the advice they give? or do you just dismiss them and move on.

    I haven't run into any sites with broken English yet, but if I do I would definitely move on.

    I would never ever trust a website that has broken English, especially if it offers writing services. It indicates that their writers are not competent at all.

    If it's just an information site, it would be OK I guess. Might be just a blogger doing his best.

    If it's a company site, it would mean that the company is not professional, I'd not buy from them.

    The most important is the content itself, not the grammar. I still read on it as long as i can understand the content.

    If it looked like that site was trying to sell me something or if it just looked like an affiliate site along with the broken English then I would definitely not stuck around.

    99% of all weight loss websites are BS regardless of the quality of language.

    No. When I see broken English, I assume scam or spam.

    I think sites like these are targeting oraganic traffic and they are created for sea, that means they need unique content, they made it, but not really properly, who agree with me? :]
