Affordable Seo Rankings

By Nick Michenne


Traffic is a need if any online business is to be successful. Your business can either pay for that traffic via advertising, ezines and other means... Or you can decide to go the Seo route and get all of your traffic for free.

Nevertheless in doing so, there is first an outlay in costs to get your website highly ranked on all of the major search engines. The more ranking you want to to obtain, on multiple pages, using multiple keywords/phrases, the more pricey it will be to your business.

But the real question, is just how costly?.... And, if you go the D.I.Y Seo route, exactly how effective will it be and how much money will you save?

What is a fair cost or the average cost for using an Seo company?

The problem with most Seo companies is the fact that they're literally charging a small fortune for a basic Seo campaigns which may include things like optimization of just a few web pages and ranking of just 2 to 3 keywords or phrases. How much for such a package.... anywhere from 2 to $4,000.

The current going rate for in house (internal) Seo work is anywhere between 40 to $60 per hour, with external rate, business to business sitting at roughly $100 for every hour.

If you're a large company, these rates may be affordable but for most small businesses and solopreneurs, they're merely impossible .

Even a large company might be best handing their Seo tasks over to a capable employee who can learn the required skills and techniques and apply these when needed. One or two people with this kind of capabilities would not just save the company profits but would allow their business to adapt to new Seo products a lot quicker than having to outsource.

What you are not being told be the Seo companies is that search engine ranking is really not that hard to master... And the second point that maybe matters the most is that once you have high ranking for many selected keywords, only a little maintenance and tweaking can keep you there for a very long time. Even to the point that much Seo work can be outsourced at extremely low rates to experts in other countries which makes it even more affordable.

Without doubt, obtaining high rankings by doing it yourself or handing it over to a major Seo is very doable. With a lot of affordable Seo guides, memberships and software packages online today, it is really a wonder as to why many companies are yet to implement their own in-house Seo specialists using their current staff.

So, is this to express that learning all Seo techniques is simply a walk in the park, absolutely not. However any person with a fair ability in technical matters could have a large website on its way to outstanding ranking positions within as little as 2 weeks.

Unfortunately what most lack in Seo, is a clear and concise plan of action. Yes, many will learn the techniques and methods required however fail to act or fail to implement the complete plan therefore resulting in minimal outcomes. Just like any marketing campaign, it must be implemented right through to the very last step, Seo isn't different.

With the continuing improvement of search engines to supply more accurate results, search engine marketing will carry on to grow and be in high demand.

The decision you have to make for your own business is....

Exactly how much income do you wish to take out of your own business pocket in utilizing such services, or is there a better alternative by taking your Seo in house and growing business profits continually, year after year?
