If you ever need to price around for SEO services you might begin to wonder why there seems to be such a wide range in fees from one SEO company to another. It’s not uncommon to find prices ranging anywhere from a few hundred dollars to well over a thousand dollars per month for what appears to be the same type of service. You may also be asking yourself why these charges seem so high to begin with.

It’s typically a rule of thumb that the more time needing to be spent on a project the more that project will cost, and there’s no exception to this rule when it comes to hiring an SEO company. The fact is that much of the work required to get your website ranking higher on the search engines is overwhelmingly time consuming. You can choose to work on it for only 10 hours per week or 100 hours per week. The more time that is put in the quicker you will see results (if the work is being done properly) and this is one of the main reasons why some SEO specialists are charging more than others, they are simply planning on devoting more or less man hours to your project each month.

If they spend only 10 hours per week working with your website how much do you think they should charge? At only $10 per hour that’s still $400 per month not counting any additional expenses you might incur such as any link “buying” you might want them to do for you, or Pay Per Click campaign management which is yet another aspect of SEO marketing services. Now if you throw in an employee or two you can easily see how even a very tiny company can be forced to charge at least double this price if not more. This is all taking into consideration that you’re dealing with a reputable person or company who’s doing the work for you. Finding someone who is both honest AND good at what they do is a challenge in itself which I will save for another article on another day for now.

So as you shop around you should now realize that the pricing will most certainly be in direct correlation to how much time they are planning on working with your website each week. A good SEO Company will provide some sort of weekly or monthly report either oral or in printed form that will clearly outline exactly what was performed for that time period and what if any changes have occurred yet. While you can’t expect many changes right away (these things tend to take many months before they start to pay off) they should still provide the information and if they’re really an honest company they will also provide information about how much time was actually spent on the account as well, but don’t count on it. Just remember this…if they offer all sorts of fancy reports that include all sorts of technical information like metrics that compare your site to your competitors, while that may be all well and good (if you truly require that sort of information for your own records), it’s not going to tell you anything about your SEO’s performance and how much it’s costing you over the long run…so ask about it before signing your life away.

Obviously an SEO expert who can achieve your goals has a perfect right to expect to be well compensated for his services and certainly deserves it as long as he can deliver on your expectations. Seeing prices of $800-$1200 per month should be seen as perfectly reasonable as long as the cost doesn’t outweigh the benefit, which of course depends upon just how much your sales might increase for being on the first page of Google for a particular key phrase. But it’s not an SEO’s job to predict your return on investment. His real job is to get you improved search engine rankings and more traffic to your site. These are all factors that need to be considered between you and your SEO service and the most important point to remember here is that you should be looking for someone who is willing to take the time to openly discuss them with you.

With a new edition of OK to Make Money Online, we are going to look at Search Engine Optimization (SEO). SEO is just a fancy term for teaching Google about your website so it can send the best traffic your way and place the proper ads on your page.

Most web sites do not focus on keywords or keyword optimization. The website authors do not do the proper keyword research and so the pages and the site are not keyword optimized. Then when Google spiders the site what does it find? A whole bunch of keywords but very little uniformity, and if by accident there is some keyword uniformity, what is the keyword? Worse yet the keyword or long tail keywords don’t even pertain to the main subject of the site.

So what is a webster to do? Take a hard look at your website or blog: what is the main subject? Do you have multiple subjects? Are the subjects related? Is your visual subject different from your textual subject?

Now that you have looked over your site, what is you main topic? If your website were a dog, would it be a purebred pedigree or a mutt? If it’s a pedigree, read on. If it is a mutt, we have to fix it now. Start by breaking the site into major topics like your house, bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, etc.

After we have all your topics reduced to a few categories, we will next to build a website or blog for each one. How you do that? We will use a tool that Google supplies to the advertisers in the Adwords section of the Google website. It is called the Keyword Tool. This tool is available to anyone and is used to locate a term or keyword that has been entered in a search request. With the search request, we have a frequency and amount spent per month per keyword identified. This is how you can locate a keyword or keyword phrase.

After you have completed your research and have determined the best keyword, it is time to find a URL that will contain your new keyword. Go to Blogger and see what can find. When you find a URL with your keyword then start using your keyword on every page and in every article, including the Privacy Page and the About Page. When you have completed your first website, go on to the next and do the same till you have covered all your categories or keywords.

Take any articles that were already on your old site and rewrite them using the appropriate keyword for the article. Make sure you use your keyword or phrase in the title, opening paragraph, body and closing paragraph. Copy that article to the new website and publish it.

If you have pictures or graphics on a page, make sure you work your keyword into the picture information area of the HTML code. This will assure the spider that the picture relates to the article or keyword topic. However, be true to your readers. Some of the black hats will put up any old picture so they can imbed the keyword text. Remember, at some point you want traffic, and you want your readers back. Don’t given them trash; give then something they want to come back for.

Last, make sure not to exceed one or two uses of your keyword per one hundred article body words, or Google may flag you site for keyword stuffing and sandbox you until you correct the problem.

Review of the rules: make sure your site sticks to one topic, make sure you research your keyword or long tail keyword, and use your keywords in every article and page on your site to make money online. Then as always, get as many backlinks to your site as you can (i.e. traffic).
