SEO Outsourcing

[semaximizer]

What key factors would you consider while outsourcing your seo or certain seo tasks?

[Venus Brown]

I generally see the work done by them so far.The keywords optimized should be short tail and have links from genuine and relevant websites.

The key is to give the right instractions to the right person.
You should clearly tell the outsourcer what exactly he/she should do, and have clear rules about what to deliver. Many people just believe someone who is telling them that they will rank first on Google without even knowing what exactly will cause this boost in traffic, so you should know exactly what you want and the outsourcer should tell you exactly what tactics he/she will use...

I would stay away from Fiverr and other lowly ways to get backlinks. It's not worth it, you get what you pay for, for $5 you can't get much.

If you have the time, please feel free to read my post on outsourcing here:

I write there what kind of SEO I outsource.

Experience (particularly in the area that is most relevant to achieve your objective) and Expertise against the Expenses to be incurred.

write good articles and you will get POWERFUL backlinks automatically!

don't even have to write that many articles.. i do about 2/site/week....

4 months old site now has 90+ backlinks.. from high PR and relevant niches to boot!

there's no need to pay for SEO! i've seen far too many warriors post what a waste of money it has been for them.

thanks freinds. the question was more in terms of specific things like, price advantage, quick turnaround time, credibility of the service provider etc..it will be great to hear each one's perspective on this.

Well, Dont run after cheap rates. If you want quality outsourcing, check the prices, features the company is offering and the past records. Checking with few references really help a lot. Credibilty of the provider can only be known when you exactly start working with him. TIll then references are a good way to check the credibility.

I do outsource a lot of work, my principle while outsourcing is very simple, If some one promises me good rankings in short time, I immediately remove him from my list and look for more deeper and versatile proposals. If you are outsrouring the job to US or UK a good company can be hired anywhere between $20-40 per hour range.

If you are outsourcing the job to India or Philippines anything between $5-8 is decent. If you go below that you will mostly get crap. You will see a huge no of backlinks being made daily, but most of them will be nothing but ****ty!

wow there is alot to consider.

Or if you are lazy to make sure you choose the right one then go for performance base SEO.

At least you pay for results and not the work.
Then you can skip the part of checking their work.

because if they cant produce results then u dont need to pay. =)
