How much time do you spend for SEO?

As long as it takes.

None I have no interest in doing the 'Google dance'

Maybe 5% for my local clients (all of which I outsource), but even that's getting less and less with more emphasis on social and much more emphasis on paid ads.

95% of my traffic used to be SEO, but I've switched to social and paid and it's much better. Yes, I love revenue from organic search which still happens, but the Google updates are tiresome and too unpredictable. I need predictable traffic which social/paid provides.

I spend around seven to eight hours a day for SEO, but most of the time, I let other people do the job for me and yes, I am talking about outsourcing. I know just how to manage the entire operations but there are still people whom I trust more than myself when it comes to knowledge in SEO.

5 minutes.

Pay, paste link, keywords, and description...

i started out manually. 8 hrs a day and then automation came along. now i just take 30 min or so setting up. once you know what you're doing it gets easier and SEO brings decent returns for me. It's all in the way you're doing it.

I love to do more SMO and less SEO.

The amount of time spent for SEO really depends on the capabilities, the motives and the money that one has. If you want to get things done the easy and quick way and you have money, you can just cut the waiting and working time by outsourcing, just like me. But I still choose to be the one to attend to several tasks for a faster progress manifestation.

As much time as i can get. Because i am new to SEO so i want to learn as much as i can.

With SEO the cool thing is all you need to do is figure out the process then once its figured out the work is easily outsourced to someone else...

Even if it is profitable for you, outsourcing will allow you to spend your time on creating quality content then the boring backlinking process...

I spend 15 Hours in a Week for my Every Project!

I spend a few hours doing research, creating article, and optimizing SEO then submit to social media outlets and pinging sites to get ranked quicker.

SEO needs some time. I think the perfect estimate for this would be 8 to 12 hours a day (that is if you are really serious about your online business). If you are too busy to mind SEO strategies, try to outsource someone. There are SEO experts out there who are selling their expertise and knowledge at an affordable price.

Hi, The question every business professional must ask is, "How much will we spend on SEO?" Keep reading for all the information you'll need to make that decision, plus some helpful tips on how SEO agencies work so you can be successful as you forge a crucial partnership with an online marketing firm.

That is going to greatly depend on your competition, where you are in the rankings and where you want to be.

If you just want to be number one for your company name and this is fairly individual (e.g. Dream Garden Care, Anytown) then it is not going to be expensive.

But if your plan is to create a website about cars and become number one for the term "cars" then it is going to cost you a fortune to dislodge the well established competition - but it can be done.

So I think its largely depends on you. Thanks.

SEO is a lifelong endeavor! At present, 80-90 hours a week split between a job and 2 SEO businesses.

SEO job is continues there is never ends because you have many competitors that also doing the same goals as you which they are also achieving to make more traffic to their sites and also to make their site at least in the top 10 in Google search.

From SEO we cannot expect instant result,it will take time..For that we have to concentrate on both on page as well as off page optimization..But we can select social media to get instant results..

Another factor that can determine how much time you could be spending on SEO may be the amount of knowledge that you have about it. If you already know its whereabouts and you are already confident about each move that you make, you will already be able to save a lot of time. Unfortunately, learning SEO is never-ending process.

Not much of an SEO person, my knowledge is purely basic, more like into keyword research and some analysis. So spend too little time to it and just outsource some SEO part I need some help with.

It's certainly going to very at one point.

It's going to be based on your skills, speed, working alone or with a team, technique you implore and all of those.

The primary thing is to get the job done and effectively too.

I am Spending for SEO 7-9 Hours per day.

Well, you see, there really are a lot of factors that can be considered. The time you spend for SEO depends on what you are aiming to get and how much of it you are willing to work hard for. Also, you should evaluate how much you are willing to spend for the work to be done quicker than it should if you are going to do the entire job by yourself.

It doesn't matter that how much time you have spend for SEO. It does matter that how many link build you with quality back link.

If you are looking for something that can make you productive SEO-wise, you will really have to study your abilities and your capabilities in working with other people. It would be hard to tell an average time that people should spend to get successful SEO. It depends upon the person's perspective on what successful SEO is.

The answer to how much time for sco i guess is not the right question. Any thing you do online will take a little time to bear fruits
sco is getting your website to rank on front page of all of the search engines and you will get all of the traffic over time that you need. do not buy traffic when you can get it all by investing some time. when done right you eleminate all of the guessing
so my advice is a) sign up for sco b) place your website content with lots of KEYWORDS on reliable sites like youtube,fb,forums,squidoo, hubpages,twitter and rss. with back links to your website
If you like me do a little bit on weekends or when time permits .. this is not a rush job..
when you are done you just sit back and relax then watch results over time because you will now have good sustainable traffic for life
once you invest the time and set this up.. you are good for life .no more throwing your money away to buy the best traffic link..you will always have the best traffic ..now from time to time you go back and change your keywords depending your new niche
My advice .. avoid all the noise out there and put the time in if what you are looking for reliable constant traffic that will bring in the dollars

I would say the hardest part is the idea. Once you have the idea probably a few hours to create the article, optimize the article and start getting it pinged and posted to social forums.

I perform roughly 15 hours a week of Internet marketing services for my two sites. I spend a lot of time social media marketing and a decent amount of time building links and creating content for SEO purposes. I find that for a return on investment, social media marketing is where the money is. In the future I am going to write more content because I can make money from ad revenue and lead people to my site.

Automation Yo. I am not going to get into the details as Warriors will start throwing stones at me calling me a black hatter

I focus more on making content than on SEO. SEO though a reliable way to get traffic, needs a lot of time to be put in

HI

Depends on the type of seo,if you want white seo it can take up to 12 hours per day,if you want black seo it takes less time but i wouldn't recommend it in the long run

SEO used to take the majority of my day. I now outsource those tasks.

Well, if you think that you are no longer squeezing any creative juice from your mind, invest a little in outsourcing but be sure that you trust the right SEO agencies or freelancers out there. Creating content for your website can really be time-consuming and getting help from others wouldn't really hurt your business.

hi..
hi..
i am also doing seowork and spend time in seo7 to 8 hours in a day, is that sufficient time for seo work according to me ....

I agree as long as it takes but it does get easier once you figure what topic you will be talking about. But I spend like 2-3 hrs to make an effective article and submit.

I take a lot of time to do my seo correctly...It is always a tweak with the google dance.

89% outsourced.
10% submitting/distributing personalized social media posts.
+1% writing the bookmarks myself (so I know they'll be golden.)
100% awesomeness!

I spend completely 10 hrs for SEO.

It depends on one's effort..how he do it..

I'm a writer and I spend around 5 minutes making a 500 word article SEO friendly.

As much as I would love to spend my whole time looking after my SEO, I still have other things to attend to. I usually spend about 8 - 10 hours watching over my SEO since I also have other things to do online.

However, I may try outsourcing in the future too. I might give it a try again very soon.

Nate

I do spend time and give efforts to SEO of a site as long as it takes me to rank it.
