    Hello everyone,

    Someone would like to hire me to do some work on their site. I have never sold my services before. I have the two best keywords in my niche in the top 10. See Sig - Arcade site.

    Anyone who does it or has paid someone what should I charge the guy?

    Thanks,
    Doug

    For onpage optimization on charge US$30 per page. It's a fair rate for it to be done properly.

    Col :)

    $85 per is a good rate. You will have to follow the money to get a good rate. For instance Attorneys can afford the rates and get a good ROI

    In order to work up your skills you can charge some low rates but clearly define what you are giving the client and provide them a report.

    Charge for line items. There's a lot that you can charge for. Link building, page optimisation, content creation, sem, marketing, keyword research, etc

    I think $40 per page is a good rate

    Don't you think the price mentioned there is saying a cheap SEO.
    It should be around $ 65 otherwise there is no mean of services,
    some of the companies are starting free seo services for their clients for first 2 or 3 months that does not mean they are cheap, their rate is annually and moderate.
    Is client does not satisfied with the services they might closed the project with out paying a single penny for the work.
    And this kind of post i have found on DP it self.
    How much you will charge per page?
