    Asking for Search Engine Optimizations Company

    Okey, I want to ask anybody here about SEO company. I call 3-4 company in my country asking for SEO services and they seems really good on it.

    most of them can guaranteed top search keywords, and the confusing part is they want to charge me around RM3000 - RM5000 per keywords, in USD around $923 - $1538 per keyword.

    what the heck! is this SEO things so expensive? do you think its worth for me investing for google keywords?

    If you want your site to be seen by most of the internet user, then SEO is the answer. Choose the best seo company in which you will be willing to invest your money. It's not that expensive, besides there are many seo free lancer here. You can try to consult your site to them.

    Yes, I think your are paying little bit more but it depend on your targeted keywords some keywords get ranking instantly and some are getting more time and really hard work so if they are giving you proper result then you no need to worry. If you are not satisfied then you can search another seo company

    That could be very cheap, or very expensive depending on the keyword. But considering these companies are guaranteeing you top placement i would be concerned.

    If the guarantee is for a refund or partial refund if they fail, well fair enough but if they outright guarantee you will rank on top then shop around some more.

    Of course "online shopping" is possible to rank for, but i wouldn't bother targeting the term personally. How many people will type just "online shopping" when they are interested in buying a product? If they are looking to buy something, they will know what they want and include the product in the search term like camera, watches, mobile phone or even more specifically the brand like Nokia, Cannon etc.

    You are way better off ranking well for a whole bunch of brand or product specific terms, the traffic will be highly targeted and more likely to convert in to a sale then a broad term query like "Online Shopping".

    Many people target what "they" think is the ultimate term, and this is where many people fail.

    Yes it is. If you want your site to be seen by people, you target keywords that internet users use to find/search for products or services that you offer :)

    Your targeted keywords then will be ranked based on SEs perspectives (or algorithm), if your site is worth visiting or not.

    depends on keyword competition rates going to be changed, but why you just want to target that 2 phrase keyword. you have to target the keyword for the products which you are selling lets say.

    apparel online shopping, that's better keyword.... and will give you direct traffic, the person who wants to but clothes will directly come on to your site, you will get business traffic through it.\

    and it will not cost you much more than that 2 phrase keyword.

    if they guarantee you top ranking well it is possible but you will need more time to wait they charge that much because you want to rank in a competitive keyword but getting to first page for that keyword would bring a lot of quality traffic from your site and quality traffic means sales so it is better to invest in seo but try to choose the best seo specialist for you you can get that ranking and can get it for a cheaper price. try look for some free lance seo that give quality service for a less cost send me a pm i can suggest one for you.

    i think you can do your SEO your self. here is the tips

    1. Build quality incoming links
    2. Submit website to web directories and search engine
    3. Optimize your tags: Title tag and Meta tag
    4. When writing the Meta description, make sure to include relevant keywords and phrases related to the web page.
    5. Set up a site map for the website
    6. Limit the number of words in a single web page, Long content will bore the readers
    7. The domain name must be optimised
    8. Keyword density of at least 2%
    9. Optimised anchor texts

    SEO have slow impact on traffic it depend on gooogle bot how frequent it crawl your web.

    If you want to have fast targeted traffic, Yes! I recommend you ADWORDS work well. :D

    Actually that's cheap, but is dependent on how competitive the keywords are.

    no one is better than the another.

    SEO takes time... PPC is gives you a faster results but if you hired someone and they do it in a wrong way, then you are just firing a blank bullets.

    you have to be smart in choosing an SEO/SEM Company or a freelance SEO...

    remember... it is not about rankings and driving more traffic..
    the most important is CONVERSIONS...

    choose a company that will gives you a results that really matters to your business.
