I dont think there is one like this... never heard about it, but who knows, there is a lot of competition in the SEO field right now so maybe someone will take up on your offer, but only if your keywords are not so competative.
i did not hear it but i suggest you to check the dp services forum. i'm sure that you may fine somebody as you mention
We do offer SEO service for the ranking performance not for the sales.. It is almost impossible for an SEO company to track the sales coming through calls..
Yes I have never heard of an SEO company offering a pay per performance because they have no way of keeping track of phone calls made from the website or emails via the contact page. Well you could track the emails, but chances are your client will not approve. That would be a lot of work if the website is in a competitive market and then you have to hope your client actually pays you once you get there website performing well. Pay per performance is like doing all the work up front first, then getting paid afterwards. Sounds to easy for the client to try and screw you over in the end. Steve
I'm open to custom terms and have worked on a pay per performance basis in the past. If the performance levels and payment arrangements are mutually agreeable, then sure why not. However i wouldn't agree on it if there wasn't "some" form of payment up front, as text links and such things to get the project rolling cost money and as SEMSpot said it's too easy to be ripped off. I realise clients have concerns of being ripped off, and rightly so with so many poor SEO's in the game now but it works both ways. I'm not going to obtain a few dozen authority links out of my own pocket and have the client vanish. So yes, just look around and there are SEO's that will structure payments this way.
Agree... I do work with commission+small monthly fee with two clients I know them in person, and trust them in some degree.. Thanks
You may try to join some affiliate network, 3 bigs one. Still problem, because membership cost $2000/m plus you should have Affiliate Manager (1-3% of sales) plus 5-10% affiliate - some big guys like ebay, amazon start this way. Of course, only on line sales will be recorder, phone will go without AM commission
From my point of view "pay per performance" in seo is a non-sense. I never heard of someone spending like thousands from his own pocket getting the client site up there somewhere and then waiting to be paid - if When it comes to performance in seo there are no guarantees as everyone knows. Obviously there are projects easier achievable comparing to some others but I can't see any educated seo person offering such guarantees. From client's point of view performance means sales what if you get his website on the top spot but his product or service doesn't sell? will the client pay you? I think with this ideea , the seo guy will become more like a salesman Just my two cents...

Huh.. I've done it plenty of times and there is a stack of other SEO's who do. I don't know where people are getting the notion of performance means sales or conversions. Normally pay per performance in SEO is based on goals achieved, for example how many keywords or phrases hit page one, or hit page two etc.
it would be pretty rare in the seo field. There are so many vairables and then you could spend $$$ getting a clients site right to the top only to discover they wont pay because they arnt selling as much as they expected.
Most services require a deposit or full payment upfront. I offer clients a monthly payment schedule which seems to work quite well. The danger with looking for Pay For Performance deals, could or might lead you straight to the blackhat seo's. Example >> Fast Results - Then you Pay - Then you Disappear. (or worst) The real problem is trust. This can be gained by reviewing client feed back and testimonials. Or even better ask to speak to existing clients prior to making your choice.
I am not sure that most SEO guys would agree to this. I would like this because this would make the SEO to do the right things. But their rate would be higher than the regular SEO guys.
