I'm not trying to get off topic in this thread but I would like to see his portfolio too. You should probably send it to the thread opener also.
Cheap and good seo this can't be .... How much depends i can give you a quote .... tell me url and what keyphrases you target ...
i just dont know how to set the price for SEO this is my 1st time so i will surely started with cheap price.. and i dont know the range for SEO budget and that's why i put $400 and i thought $400 is already big cost for me a collage student. some SEO service offer variate price $1000, $500, $175 the best i can find so far is $175 at http://www.umbrella-consultancy.co.uk/
keyphrases? i dont know.. that's why i look for SEO consultants which is suitable for my site which is running business directory program. url : www.online-program.net (i will surely buy a new domain again if the consultant suggest me to do that.)
You cant choose an seo company on price only. He might be cheap for a reason - he might be rubbish. And just because someone charges a fortune, doesnt mean they are good either. That guy lists some forums he's a moderator of (in the footer, index page). A decent start would be to register on those forums and read his posts and see if he knows what he's talking about.
Just getting your site in the top 50 for any term on the big engines is a waste of time. The first position gets 3.5 times more clicks than position 2 Indeed the first 4 positions get more click throughs than all the sites ranked from 5 to 200 added together. Terry
