    Hello friends,

    Is it better to do SEO your own self? Or to give the SEO work to someone elsE?

    Like for example give work to someone else to write articles, so around $50-100 a month to him/her

    Rest work you can do yourself - Blog commenting, forum commenting - or can hire a person for that $50-100 to him/her

    So in total you pay $200-300.

    And if we go for a SEO Company they charge $800-1000....

    So whats a best solution ??

    There is a lot more to SEO than what you mention. Also the price figures you mention seem unrealistic.

    I would say you need help with SEO, but you should be careful as it is easy to get lured into an offer that sounds (and is) too good to be true, especially in the SEO market.

    If you have a really decent knowledge of SEO, you must hire a worker and instruct him stepwise step what to do, it will save you money and time.

    So ultimately it depends upon the depth of process you knows in SEO..Yes it is possible to so the process as you told..First it depends on the way the website you need to optimize..Don't feel all the process like this much is to be done..It always depends on the way of Business,Target Audience,Industry analysisetc. to be done and plan the SEO Steps..If you have time to spend with this "Yes You Can"; As "Nothing is Impossible"..

    When you gives to a Company or firm they will take all the responsibilities and they will make efforts to the Ranking as they are working on these projects{it Depends on the Company too}..The better they serve the better the Ranking and Conversion they brings!!!...As i am confident with my clients...

    I do have idea of SEO..

    I have seen so many prices from US and UK companies.. and what i have seen they outsource that work to low cost workers in Asian countries... And what they do is like
    Social marketing, Blog commenting, Forum, Link building via directories, Article submission, content building for the pages, etc..etc..

    And this all i think can be done with less amount if hired a seperate person for each thing to do..

    Is anyone doing such ??

    Its always better to do it yourself because

    -you can catch a man a fish and feed him for a day or you can teach him to fish and feed him for life

    -you actually know whats being done and you arent getting ripped off

    -theres nothing that SEO people know that you can't learn yourself from forums like this one

    SEO is ongoing process, and not just onetime effort.
    If you have knowledge try to do as much as possible yourself and try to figure out what is best works for you, and at the same time gain experience and knowledge.

    If you have much time to work on yourself then i would suggest to do yourself but, if you want to work on more projects then i would suggest to hire some one rather than a seo company where a lot of time will be saved for you.

    do you have the time? if you do, do it yourself.

    If you dont, then pay somebody to do it - but better off here rather than a SEO company - they will just ripp you off... most of them. just find someone with good itrader off here in service section or just buy some links.

    Well, for me if you have a budget for this project then try to outsource it. This will help you focus more on your core business.

    SEO is an on going process, you can't see the result asap. You need to work hard on that. I think $800-$1000 is a reasonable price for this kind of project.

    It depends. If you are not good enough in SEO or you can doing others thing that make more money, then you shall consider to give those SEO job to the SEO company.
    However, if you are earning less by doing others thing and you have enough time, then do it yourself
