    I'm getting ready to launch my SEO Campaign, but I'm having trouble coming up with a budget. Its been years since I last used search engines..Last time I did I got a good ROI for spending $300 a month. Would this still be effective or has it gotten more expensive? I've heard many different numbers.

    I appreciate the help :)

    What are you using AdWords or some other advertising venue?

    Log into your AdWords account to find out what an average CPC is for any given SEO-related keyword. That will give you a rough idea what it will cost you to run an effective SEO-related campaign today.

    Hmmm, Just curious, is SEO a lot less effective these days? As I said its been quite a while since I've used it. Adwords sounds like Google's baby now I might just got with that.

    Its less effective for article directories because of the panda and penguin updates. If you are going to do SEO put good quality content on your site. Over time you will get traffic to it assuming you did good kw research. it still does work.
