Have you done your market research to determine if those keywords are buying keywords and will make you sales once you rank well for them? IM is just a numbers game. If you are going to make $1,000 a month from your site, then $300 is worth it. But if you are only going to make $20 a month, then it seems a little steep.

This site used to show you commercial intention of a keyword, but I see it is down at the moment:

Try it when it's back up though.
Hope that helps a bit.

Thanks

Yeah just make sure the money you invest if reaching page 1 will convert into sales, spending money on services is no issue if you make money as a result, is your website copy converting currently?

Seems a little steep to me, they aren't extremely compeditive KWs.

I guess if they have a money-back guarantee if you aren't number 1 it might be worth it.

As long as the money at position 1 will be worth the expense.

You could try doing a PPC campaign first to get a clearer idea of the traffic and buyer intent in position 1..

Thanks

Don't just try for a very cheap service and promises. All you have to do is to look for the best. Interview is the best thin to do.

TB made a great point here right away. You have to know how much you will make for each site on average. This helps you determine your investments easier and faster. You only want to invest in sites that will bring you a higher ROI (return of investment).

Can anyone quote me a price as well and get my keywords to the first page? Is it possible to get it to the #1 position?

First thing to do is remove your keywords and site. Don't ever post that here because you have some lazy people who can't figure out what they are doing and will target your keywords.

Second I think everyone in this thread has missed the point entirely. Its the job of the SEO not just to rank some keywords given to him/her but to determine what keywords to go after to give you traffic, to set up your pages along a specific campaign strategy and then secure on page quality backlinks that take longer to acquire than blasting a site with worthless profile inks using xrummet et al or a bunch of pages with 2.000 comment links using scrapebox.

Thats why you get these ridiculous statements in this thread that $300 a month is steep :rolleyes: because so often people think that all there is to SEO is running some link placing machines. $300 is dirt cheap if the SEO is doing the complete job of a SEO. If all they are doing is running a vps with software placing near worthless links everywhere then $15 a month is too steep.

incidentally you are doing well if your site is ranking . As it turns out the first thing a SEO should do after keyword research is on page optimization.

You do not have the phrase you are targeting anywhere on your home page. You don't have it in your meta descrption either and you are missing opportunities in your alt tags. Just changing those may well see your site rise. Now what you have going for you is that you are getting some decent links. No spam junk and even a couple Pr 4s - Good job!

Unfortunately they don't target your keywords very often so thats what needs work along with some more high Pr links.

I haven't looked at it thoroughly but off the top of my head those don't look like competitive keywords. Probably a few link blasts will get you to the top spot.

I rest my case. Thats awful advice. A blast of worthless no PR pages is garbage for a site that is already getting PR4 links.

I humbly disagree and I really think your comment is a bit out of line.

If you are into manual link building etc. that is perfectly fine, but to say that you can't move this page up with some automated link blasts etc. is just silly.

Even a blast of a bunch of new PR 0 pages can move this site up because the niche doesn't seem to competitive.

So I respectfully disagree with your view.

Thanks

Hey everyone,
thanks for your reply to my thread.

1)To be honest, i have no idea whether my keywords have a high ROI . I mean how do you possible know how much you can make for targetting specific keywords? I can only use my common sense to tell me that targetting the phrase buy something or shop for something would be good.

2)Also, how much would you think is a reasonable price to get a keyphrase such as "cool gadgets for men" or "cool stuff to buy online" from 2nd page to 1st position without getting banned?

3)Im confused by the discussions about how low PR links in bulk could do the job and how it won't. Can someone tell me how much it costs and what you will do to bump it to 1st position? Thanks so much

Please do tell me about what you think

Regards,
Nick Ong

  Nick don't buy any package until you get that figured out or anything will be a waste of money. Go to the Warrior for hire section and find a keyword research offer. Costs about ten dollars and they will tell you what terms to go after (for that price you won't get an analysis of competition though). then you need to optimize your site for those terms. Only after that are you ready to do any kind of backlink program. Anyone offering to rank you for a term that they haven't researched to see if you will get traffic is not a real SEO
  
  Thanks

Oh its silly not to have a real business site reported around the internet as a spammer is it? GO ahead and tell people that that doesn't happen so I can post the links to forum owners that have compiled such lists? and meanwhile tell them that if you do rank then the site they took out only has to report you to Google and have the money spent on a blast go down the drain.

And its silly to get PR4 page links rather than PR zeros and N/A? Why because its not what you sell?

Theres nothing out of line with my posts. this isn't a WSO thread..

You advice here is poor. If the site owner has PR 4 links and isn't ranking getting a number of worthless links won't do anything but put the site in jeopardy.

You are entitled to your opinion sir, and I am not here to argue with you.

This is a forum, and people are entitled to speak their mind. Please be open to the opinion.

Your notion that sites cannot be improved with these so called "Garbage Links" is ridiculous.

I understand that you are the from the "White Hat, Manual Link Build, High PR" mind-set of thinking. And that is totally fine. But to think that is the only way to improve search engine rankings is to manually build high PR links is preposterous.

Are all these people buying link packages built by automated software dumb? Why are they so popular? Its because they work.

If you are so confident in your opinion, why don't we put it to a friendly wager? Put your money where your mouth is.

$100 says that I can improve this gentleman's SERP positions building only new PR0 links.

We can Paypal the money to a respected 3rd party member of the Warrior Forum to hold.

I am that confident in my position, are you?

Just a friendly wager sir.

Thanks

Whats preposterous is you claiming to know where I am from.

Are all these people buying link packages built by automated software dumb? Why are they so popular? Its because they work.

they do? Really? So since thy have been selling for well over a year on this forum I guess everyone has all the traffic they need right? I wonder why people claim they can't make it in IM because they can't get traffic since thats been solve by your kind of link blasts?

Put your money where your mouth is.

$100 says that I can improve this gentleman's SERP positions building only new PR0 links.....................
I am that confident in my position, are you?

LOL. You are not very confident are you? You could put a link of WF right now and "improve this gentleman's SERPs position". Pages move up and down in Google without anything being done at all. Improve? Thats not SEO. Why not say you gaurantee a first page placement?
I'm not going to risk someone else's website with your PR N/A links just for a lousy hundred bucks. Want a challenge? I'll take one of my sites and rank it with my techniques and you put up one of yours and rank it. You choose my terms and I'll choose yours and see which one does better after 90 days. Yours with only your blasts or mine with only high PR links.

I had a thread where I was going to show rankings but got terribly busy. We could open another one and make it a profile backlink versus high PR backlink battle thread.

Game ????

If you are giving $300 for one month then it is not much but you should also know that it is good for you or not, how much return you would get from that.

You have to make sure that you will be earning money after they get your site to first page of Google. You have to make sure that your investments are worth it.
