does keyword SEO last long?

    If I get a SEO service for a forum about news to rank for keywords, "news forum" or "political forum" does SEO last long? The domain has the word forum in it.

    SEO is a never ending process. Once you outrank someone they will want to try and take the placement back.
    This is a lifetime battle.

    lets say if I ordered SEO service and it takes 4-6 months to get a website in the top 5 for a medium-to-high keyword how long would that stay up there?

    I know for high keywords it can be gone the next day.
    You might get a couple of months once you get there.....Google gets goofy often so you just never know..
    But if you get it up there, there are ongoing tasks that can be done to keep it there.
    You can usually find a tech savvy teen to do these tasks on a regular basis for low cost.

    Forum posting, article writing, etc...
    The SEO company would probably supply you with a list of things that can be done regularly to help keep the SERPs. At least they should.

    hi,

    google really works on relevance so as long as your site fitted their criteria enough you would mantain the position, I have had a site up for two years on the first page of google and done nothing to maintain it but rememeber that other sites are being built right now and are increasing their relevance so may overtake at some point.......

    the more competition there is the more work to get on the front page, make a sale and maintain your position,

    SEO is longer lived them SEM

    SEO takes longer then SEM

    Basically.. you pay for SEO..... Get Some Ranking... And it will last after your stop paying...(but who knows for how long)

    SEM is imidiate but you have to constaltly feed it money! the second you stop.. It stops!

    ----

    - you may think about 20% of the money for 1 month SEO optimization is enough for 1 month of SERP support, but surely it depends on niche. the more competitive is the niche the more dynamics is in SERP.

    SEO is the long process, it is a continuous process so it needs regular input and keep updating relevant content on your website.

    As all above said that seo is a long process, I completely agree with all of them. If you choose a keyword at this tie you can not live whole life with that keyword, you should have to change keyword periodically.

    I think SEO is the most difficult step for webmasters. You want to survive and develop must change to suit the user.
