Hey guys,

I'm just about ready to start my SEO service, however I have a simple question.

When articles are written as part of the package, which of the following represents how they are used:
A) (Number of Articles) Keyword research is done, all submitted to Ezine + AB + 100-300 other directories.
B) (Number of Articles) Keyword research is done, half submitted to the site receiving SEO, the other half submitted to Ezine + AB + 100-300 other directories.
C) (Number of Articles) Keyword research is done, submit one to Hubpages, Ezine, AB, Squidoo, etc and create a link wheel going back to the clients site.
D) 5 keywords, (Number of Articles - 1-5 each keyword?) created for them, submitted to Ezine/Hub/AB/Squidoo

Thanks!

    It is simply based on you time and article writing skills. Also money will be involved if you hire someone to do all these. If you get no problem from the above things you can do as you wish!

        WOW! You have well educated clients. Most of the people I know who want / need SEO services just want to be #1 in Google. Most have no idea how it is done and the concept of off-page work is alien to them.

        Thanks for all that information, I had most of that down.

        Now, how much would you charge for something like this?
        Would it be done on a monthly basis or one time?

    I would go for option 'C' as per my experience.

    Maverick, thanks for the explaination, but it is necessary to do the both? I mean what if only On page optimization is done on the website, will it work? Is off page necessary?

      I've found in the past that yes, both are necessary. SEO companies have gotten a bad wrap lately b/c they rarely deliver on what they promise so I like to go over the top.

      Our starting rates are $800 a month and go up to $5000 a month but our most common package is $2500 a month. If you'd like to send me a PM I'll gladly answer your questions via Skype. I'm putting together a course right now on exactly how I set up our "offline" marketing firm.

      Cheers

      In reponse to leighla, off site is extremely important. In many ways, it is much more important. On site sets the foundation, but it is very limited in what it can achieve. Search engines want it this way because it is more easy to manipulate (and ultimately spam) your own site than the rest of the web.

      Send me a PM ... I'm compiling a list of people right now. Should be done bye the end of the month.

      I'm pretty much taking this whole month off to do it and hired another project manager to cover the company while I keep my nose to the grindstone.

      I'll send you more details privately if you'd like.

      Cheers
