Monthly SEO contract or dedicated employee?

    Have one more question. There are people offering monthly SEO contracts like this
    http://www.link-building-strategies.com/monthly-link-building.html
    My question is that is it worth it for $199 a month? I can also hire a full time employee for that cost. Is there anything a dedicated employee cannot do that these guys are offering? Only drawback I see is I dont know the links where these guys are submitting but I am ready to spend much more time (my employees time) to get the things done. Please suggest.
    Your valued opinions welcome :)

    Following is the detailed offering
    1. 300 links submissions = 180 Guaranteed One Way Theme Links- The links are built by manually publishing 3 Original Articles on 75 different article sites, each published article will have 2 back links to your site. 70% of our Article Sites have PR 2 to 6; all with different C classes IPs.
    2. 60 links submissions = 30 Guaranteed One Way Theme Links– The links are built by manually publishing 1 Review for your site from on 30 Social Bookmarking sites, 90% of the sites have PR 2 to 8, all with different C classes IPs.
    3. 160 links submissions = 100 Guaranteed One Way Theme Links– The links are built by manually publishing 2 Original Press on 50 Press Release sites, each published article will have 2 back links to your site. All our Press Release Sites have PR 2 to 7; all with different C classes IPs.
    4. 80 links submissions = 40 Guaranteed One Way blog links – These links are built by publishing 1 article (300 words each) with 2 back links to your site on 20 different free blog sites.

    Depending on what you are trying to accomplish here or how important the site is, that crap is not SEO.

    Only hacks do that stuff. Typically stuff bundled like that fails to take anything important into consideration and you typically just wind up with a bunch of half assed, poorly written content with your brand attached to it all over web on completely useless sites.

    As a general rule, if its offered in the services section here, its not SEO.

    Agreed it's that sort of crap and other such things that is why SEO has such a bad name and so many people saying the same old thing "I spent blah blah but the SEO did not get me blah blah and then blah blah"

    Fill in the blanks or rewrite a little differently but it is the same story

    Thanks for replying. I have a dedicated employee who can do any online tasks as instructed.
    My website sells diverse online services from programming to design to content writing to translation etc.
    You can check it here http://www.geekwik.com
    Can you suggest what are the simple executable steps I should take to boost my search engine traffic assuming I have a full time employee at my disposal.

    Do it yourself. I don't trust paying those sites to do the same thing to 100's of other sites. Sounds too spammy.

    It is think about it as >

    If I tried to sell you a one size fits all suit, then see why those buying it end up looking the silly ones.

    Thanks all. I get your points. But I still dont get what are the things I need to do keeping in mind my business model and objectives. It would be a personalized consulting I understand. I would be happy to pay if some expert is willing to make a personalized recommendation and suggest me a list of things I should do religiously to get my services listed on first page of google.
    Thanks again.

    Use a WordPress blog to target your keywords on your domain. Keep it (The WP) updated and learn as much about running it as you can spare. That would be a good place to start to give your site some good on site SEO grounding.
