Why Seo,s Are Getting Low Rates In The Market

Why Seo,s Are Getting Low rates in the market i was looking at the project at rentacoder and the total maximum for that was 100 dollars and he had 8 sites including link building isnt it unjustice keeping in mind that a programming project with minor bug fixing is paid up to 100 or even 150 dollars.

 

Seo,s Are Getting Low Rates In The Market it's because more companies or freelancers in India is give very low rates...

 

It's not just SEO's but anyone who's job can be outsourced/crowdsourced, look at graphic design, someone can get a logo nowadays for $25.

 

...and, for such a low rate, you get poor quality service. Does indeed ruin the potential market.

 

pay peanuts get monkeys. monkeys will work for peanuts.

 

Price is directly proportional to efforts required

Price is also directly proportional to Quality (in most of the cases).

It the value you get for your money. It is just an extended version of what James said, just wanted to make sure everybody understood.

SEO prices are not low. Go to SEOmoz, Bruceclay or any of those top guns and they will cost you a bomb. Reason they are experts in this field and command that price tag.

You pay less, all you get is a few meta changes, pointless directory submissions, crappy link building and meaningless search engine submission. For a novice they would not know the difference and such so called SEO pros do more harm than good. I sometimes pity them.

 

Actually my rates are up...

Of course being able to place sites in the top 3 positions on Google constantly allows that to happen.

As for what you see online... the buyer & programmer could have negotiated a different contract outside RAC to save fees.

The freelance sites charge insane percentages of the project fee for doing nothing.....

 

Professionals are still getting a high rate .. low rate is just cause of increase in numbers of SEO's..

 

People who actually know how to do SEO are getting very high rates. The thing is there are so many people in the market that unless you rise above all of the junk at the bottom then you will get next to nothing. SEO is a job that takes months to see real results so a lot of companies don't really know what there doing and the company doesn't find out until 3-4 months later.

 

Dead on and the problem then is after having a hack destroy the site and plunder is trust with Google a real SEO is hired and then needs to do twice as much to get things straight.

Or the owner thinks they know SEO and will preface e-mails with "I did onpage SEO just need you to do links" LOL that ain't happening.

I spend a day on average trying to investigate sites to see what has been done prior to offering the potential client a potential.

I love new sites.... as old ones that have had SEO supposedly done scare me....

 

I never outsourced SEO but I have some advanced programming... about 10% of the cost compared to a US based programmer... and I got excellent work too.. I use him frequently now.

I think if one does their homework you can get away with paying less.. the risk is there, buy there is ample information available to source check some of these international workers.

 

Some linkbuilder is pretending to be a SEO and they willing to do some work in a cheapest price.

 

someone can get a logo nowadays for $25.

Yeah and you still get what you pay for. Go check out 99 designs and check the difference between proper design and the stuff rolling around here.

That said, I agree with Sem Advance, I am killing it. I get loads of work from here as well, but not by making a post about my services.

There is a bit of a trick to it.

I hope that helps. Rent a coder and Get a Freelancer is bottom of the barrel work for the most part. While I am sure you can get fairly competent work done, it does not favor the individual doing the work.

it is all about supply and demand....unless your work is niche....then if supply increases...or demand decreases...ur rate becomes lower

 

I had a really long opinion so I actually blogged about it here

I find this very interesting and I think it'll be an ongoing discussion and have different trends.

 

yes. it is because our people only. agreengbfor a low rates to work will result ti everyone getting low paid

 

more people are going for seo work. as more and more supply is available at cheap rates the rates are coming down.

 

SEO's are getting highly paid. The people who are quoting at rentacoder are probably charging only for doing a small part of SEO activity.

Demand Trend
Check http://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/jobs/uk/seo.do

Starters are drawing as much as £29,385.

Salary Trend


Also there's a huge rise in demand for SEOs world wide

 

Thanks Ganesh for your lovely graphic representation. Low rates exist bcoz there are companies who are ready to do projects with small payment; On top of that there are large number of companies grow up day by day. Legend in them get higher prices anyway

 

Ya we can say that this time seo market is down but not for longer because some recent economic down fall over all world so all fields are effected from this and It will get pick up early because any company can not survive without online marketing.
And one more thing of SEO market field has been completely competitive in the India because of freelancers and out sourcing taken by companies.
