1. "I agree it's very hard to know if a sentence was written in perfect English..."

2. "It am vry exy to KNOW when webs arent' having any kindz of englishes"

I have seen (and rewritten) many tours that started off as badly as example number two above. Not for lack of effort by the owner, but at times because an owner who does not speak English fluently hired a cheap writer who also did not... and lacked the ability to know just how badly his own site had been written. I guarantee you, fixing 'broken' text definitely affects your SEO ranks considerably. Quantity of text also has a lot to do with some SEO parameters. 1 page or 10 pages wont change much... but try writing a site that has literally 50,000 pages of original well-written text on it.

It is now *starting* to change, but even today, SEO comes down to text and links. Social media and site use stats are being factored... but when you consider all the different things you can do to affect your SEO ranks - adding quality SEO text is just about the least expensive and most bang you can get for your buck. For a few hundred dollars you can substantially improve your sales pitch, SEO values, review scores, affiliate confidence, retention rates.... and yet people overlook it to their detriment time and again.

A site with 149 exclusive scenes and fantastic text often costs the same and will earn more than a site with 150 exclusive scenes and poorly written or broken text.
