    Well you can do it if:
    1. You have full knowledge about the SEO,
    2. You have time to do the SEO,
    3. You can optimize your site in respect of On-Page as Well as Off-Page Optimization,
    4. You can write good and unique content for your website,

    And if NOT,then try some Freelancing websites from where you can get your work done on some real low rates.

    Offpage SEO like blog commenting, forum posting - link building is the most boring task and companies will charge an arm and a leg for this service. It is therefore better to do it yourself as it saves you money, and you can be sure you're getting good quality links.

    Onpage SEO like meta tags, html validation etc, is something that not your average bod can do effectively, so if you're not very familiar with this field, pay someone else to do it.

    In general learning yourself and implementing is great idea, but the difficulty is it will take some time. SEO process itself take some time to reflect your changes, so if you have enough time you can go by yourself otherwise give it to the professionals. Secondly article writing, forum and blog commenting is only the part of the SEO process, there is still miles to Go....

    It is better to research about search enigne optimization and completly do it on your own. If you learn what you are doing you will always be better at optimizing your own site then someone else would. Remember you care a lot more about your site then anyone else does, you will always put more effort into your own project then a third party optimization company would.

    I think it is better you do SEO for your site.When you assigned a company for SEO they may not follow white hat techniques.They may get you on top but there is a possibility to get your site black listed by Google.

    I do everything I can with the amount of time I have and throw the rest to freelance writers. You need to know at least how seo works before you decide to get someone to do it for you. Hire not SEO experts but writers, web designers, programmers and purchase signatures. It will save you heaps of time and money if you know what you're doing. Before you decide to hire anyone, make sure you draw out a plan so that you won't waste your money.

    SEO companies are not worth giving that much money, it is better do it yourself, or get some expert help which can help you with your SEO goals. You can hire people for blog comments,forum posts at cheap rates whereas SEO companies charge a lot for these works.

    For me,it's better to doing SEO by your own because you can learn how to make it.And it's good for your future.

    If you have the budget, then give the task to the company. But I dont strongly suggest the idea of giving in to companies. I prefer outsource freelancers, so you will have the options. They are cheaper too compares to companies who charged a lot than the real price that it should be. Try getafreelancer or odesk.

    SEO is time consuming,,,If you don't have time,then better hire other people to do that for you. In my company,we hire people to do all the things about SEO ,,a full time job.

    I've been thinking of maybe getting my own team which might cost too much. But I don't have enough time to do everything myself too. Sigh.. I like seeing the money roll in, but boy I have to say that it's so much hard work!
