    There is no such thing as paid inclusion for google. You could try adwords, but that's not the natural serps.

    Yeah not really sure what you mean by "pay to appear on google". Do you mean average CPC for adwords or do you mean total spent on SEO? In either case unless you are comparing like-for-like, i.e. people who are in the same market as you (who are the least likely people to want to tell you ;-)) then such values are probably meaningless.

    But for the sake of record, I am in the software market and don't use CPC advertising of any kind, I probably spend somewhere in the region of 20 hours a year on SEO, which I do myself. Most of the legwork was done years ago though and now it's just a case of maintaining my rankings.

    Well, since it's an investment of time, and my time is obviously valuabe, to me at least, I'd say with the 18 hour days, six days a weeks, it cost me at 13.69 per year ... :)

    Now, if you're asking do people pay other professionals to perform SEO, SES, etc. to help them obtain better SERP on Google, that's a different question than what you asked ... but the total cost would be the same for me ...

    $0.05 - $0.20 per click. Your Mileage May Vary.

    jiangyanna you don't have to pay Google to be included in their search results.

    You need to put a lot of time into your site so that it appears at the top results for the chosen keyword as many have mentioned.

    There are other paid methods to advertising your site .. .but as to getting in to Google it is absolutely free.

    It's costing me 15$/year for the domain name and 99$ for the hosting... that's all I need to pay to be able to show on google.
