    HI,

    I am a freelance web designer, this is my site http://www.designoidstudios.com
    Is SEO best for driving traffic to my site - as there's lot of competition out there when it comes to search engine and web design company.

    I want your advice should i go for SEO? If so, What ways are best for me in SEO to generate business leads?

    I have a novice knowledge of SEO. Anyone can help?

    Thanks.

    I SEO for web design too, it's difficult and I suggest you follow Tanna's advice and target long tailed keywords.

    I would say any website needs SEO especially a site like yours! In fact right now I am optimizing a website that offers Web Design, Web Developing and SEO Services! And it really helps a lot!

    The Sitepoint SEM kit is very good. I recommend it.

    I rank for alot of web design related terms, one good tip is try to include a link back to your site in the footer of your design with your targeted keywords such as:

    Website Design by Designoids Studio

    Just vary the link text each design and use things like Web Design, Custom Design etc. This will not only help you rank but bring traffic that's likely to convert.

    I mainly do SEO, but when i was doing more design i'd offer the client a 10-20% discount of they chose the branded option with my link. This way your not "forcing" a link in to their page, they have the option but i found if you do good work people are only too happy to have your link.
