Studies on ROI/Success Rate of SEO Website Business?
- SEO |
I know I have seen such studies in other industries. For example, I've seen studies of how likely a new restaurant is to succeed, the factors involved, whether investing in a new restaurant business is wise, how it compares to other businesses, etc.
It seems like SEO and Website building of this sort is a very hyped business with all sorts of speculation and people claiming left and right to have the secrets. But in reality, I'm not sure very many people even break even at it. A lot of people make a huge deal about every tiny step toward that, which is nice motivationally, but I'm not sure if most, or even many, ever actually break even. I may be wrong but I don't know since I've never seen this actually studied.
And also yes I realize the success depends on factors like how hard one works, how many hours one puts in, etc. And of course any good study would account for these factors to remove bias in the study.
My main question really is how much this business (building sites to rank and make money, not talking about SEO consulting for others or training people or any of that) pays off, especially compared with other businesses (or compared to the hype you hear on forums). And I don't mean people's guesses or speculation. I'm looking for hard data. If there isn't any, there should be as this is a burgeoning business that I think those that analyze business should study objectively.
