Search Engine Optimization - Bargain, Reasonable or Rip off?

[rich]

In the present scenario where many webmasters who are newbies and don't know what Search Engine Optimization is all about are bound to fall prey to the so called SEO experts working from their basements who are there to make a big hole in the pocket of their clients.

I think Search Engine Optimization is all about self learning and a lot of patience to get the desired results. One has to be completely updated with the latest patterns of how the search engines work and change their algorithms for which a considerable amount of research is needed to achieve targets.

As for increasing the traffic of the website hosting, participating actively in the social networking/bookmarking website hostings will prove to be quite helpful which should be done in the most optimum way but it is also time consuming so one should be able to mange their time accordingly.

Well, Also finding a Search Engine Optimization experts through search engine could be misleading as you don't get accurate and comprehensive information about so called SEO expert inspite of relevant search results as information on the internet is commercialized and tricky, these people trick their way to remain to the top.

But if you learn a lot about Search Engine Optimization by having a successful website hosting yourself surly you would be able to do it for someone else? - which would mean you could sell this service.

It can be another source from where you can genarate income and the confidence which you gain by making your website hosting a successful one by doing proper Search Engine Optimization matters a lot when providing the service to others because you know exactly what you are doing.

But everybody has said that you should do the Search Engine Optimization yourself and that there are no good SEO service providers

There is nothing better than doing Search Engine Optimization all by yourself but yeah there might be some genuine SEO service providers which one has to search and try out to know the real picture.

So what would be a reasonable price then. I just found one that does it for £399. Sounds a little bit excessive to me.

You are the one who will decide which price is reasonable for you as it completely depends on your budget and what kind of service and results you will be getting also considering the time span for the service.

If you are getting the results which you want and you are also generating income from those results, then you should see the ratio in which you are spending for the Search Engine Optimization and the returns which you gain from it. If the profit ratio is better then probably you can go with the offer.

If the person asking for £399 can get your website hosting the desired results, and you yourself aren't too keen on learning online and optimizing your website hosting on your own, then there's no harm in paying. But you need to make sure that the person is capable and genuine Search Engine Optimization, most important doesn't get involved in Black Hat techniques to get the results in a short span of time.

Thanks for your replies paul and Ryan. I am really willing to learn and want to it myself but I am worried I won't get the desired results. I have looked at the blog on eUKhost already and found it very useful. Only time will tell I suppose - how long before you normally see the effects of the Search Engine Optimization that you implement?

I don't think anyone can predict the exact time for Search Engine Optimization effects but if you follow the sound SEO principle you will definitely get good results, SEO is an ongoing process, you can not expect overnight results and there are no shortcuts, best results are achieved by those who recognize this in advance.
