What to charge for keep client's site on top?

Hello All,

I dont know if its the right question according forum rules, please place if its.

I am in need of a suggestion. I am working as a SEO on one of my client's myspace site and site is within top 5 now for really good terms. like:- free myspace layouts, sexy myspace layouts, hot myspace layouts etc.

Could someone tell me what to charge monthly to keep his site there which is really fair?

Any help will be appriciated

 

You cannot guarantee something like that. Probably the fairest way is a scale . . . $1000 / month < 10; $300 / month < 20; $50 / month > 20.

Honestly, with the competition out there selling this myspace stuff will get very competitive very soon. Good luck staying on top, I wouldn't touch this until the next update is finished and G stops dancing (probably early May)

 

Do you have a Idea about "how much someone can earn if he is in top for for mentioned keywords?"

 

I'd say it all depends on the traffic they're receiving from these search terms, how much it's worth (as far as revenue) to them - then take a percentage off that.

 

tons!!!

You would need to make a sample income sheet. Something like "total potential visitors" x 20% (for top 10 SERPs : 5% for SERPs 10 - 20) x 1% (average internet sales / click) x Price he charges per layout. You would also want to take adsense (or equivalent) into account as this brings a bunch of money for him I'm sure.

To estimate potential visitors use the keyword suggestion tool under the "tools" link in the menu of this page. Here is a sample for "myspace layout".

layout myspace 42,736.2 /day
free layout myspace 8,767.4 /day
cute layout myspace 2,655.5 /day
layout love myspace 1,616.4 /day
generator layout myspace 1,327.1 /day
free hot layout myspace 1,151.9 /day
layout myspace valentine 810.2 /day
girly layout myspace 685.0 /day
hot layout myspace 681.2 /day

40,000 / day is massive but you would not get all searchers. I would be quite happy with 1,000/day :>

 

Whats your estimation?

 

tons!!! Should be high $XXXXX / month if the site is a good converter

But I'm teaching you how to fish, not feeding you fish.

Without knowing the variables (cost/layout, adsense per click amounts, complete list of keywords, access to log files, etc.) it is impossible to guesstimate.

 

How much will it cost you to keep it on top? Do that times 120-150%.

 

Thanks for your help
