/agree You certainly get what you pay for... In the end I don't even care about Search engine placement... I'm looking for traffic... If I could get 10,000 visits to my site, I'm sure the Boss will shell out the big bucks. It's the uncertainty of if the visits will come after handing out mass cash, that keeps the budget tight.
Uhhh...I'd be careful about that statement. I can generate 10,000 visits to your site in about 30 seconds, doesn't mean it's any quality You said you would be happy with just an article writter. What if I could put you into contact with a guy that writes articles, spins them, and posts them on major article sites. You could also use the articles elsewhere, but they would initially be posted to major article sites.
I'd say Heck yeah! And yes i would definitely want 10,000 visits from people who are interested in buying Auto parts, and not, bakery supply equipment, or men who like women who like other women erotica... Cause they ain't gonna find it on our site. So yeah hook me up with this guy's contact if you please! Does he write stuff on Automotive type things? Also what about a Backlinking/link exchange company? Do they work? Which ones are good, Back linking/link exchange is such a pain in the balls, i would love to turn that over to someone else, but only if they really do provide a benefit!
i know one which will work monthly for you on specific keywords or anything else you want not cheap though but as another dper said earlier "you get what you pay for" pm me if you want the details not here to advertise or spam the site
you can find many free SEO blogs. they often sell their own software/eBooks for very cheap prices too.

at the end of the day, like everybody else is saying, you have to pay. I've tried it myself for these $3/link things, your link is always placed on a horrible made-4-seo site in a horrible position with 7000 other links.
