How much did you spend on SEO last year and was it worth it?
- SEO |
In a couple of debates (me get into debates? of course not 
) on here in the last two months theres been a lot of talk about costs of this technique versus that.
One of the things I realized is that people spend A LOT Of money on SEO and most don't even add the costs up. Some often argue this technique or that service is too much and then they use some service that when you add it up COSTS MORE for the year than what they are calling expensive.
Have you added up what you spent last year (2011) on SEO?
Its very important to figure that out since it gives you hints about what to do or change for 2012.
here are some examples of some of the popular services and software costs that might help you to figure out what you really spent- these will be retail not discount or bootleg pricing (like where software is concerned.)
SEE IF you can add up your expenses and whether what you did last year REALLY worked for you
Software -
Magic submitter which I tend to like - $804 per year
SenukeX - $1764 per year
Some other monthly software cost? Make sure to add it -
Network Services ANNUALLY
Average home page backlink service - $840 (more for additional keywords)
BMR - $708 (more if more than 5 domains)
Myarticle network - $800 per year.
Other services make sure to add them up over the year -
Ranking services
Averaged out first page placement - $79 per keyword X (times) the keywords you went after this year. So ten keywords for the year would be $800 or more.
LINK BLASTS = Average $47 times the amount of blasts you did for the year
Add
fiverr gigs
link packs
any SEO services you hired.
AFTER you have added up heres the first question
DID YOU MAKE A PROFIT and did that money become an investment in a resource (like your site) that will make you money going forward into 2012?
Heres the second question
How if any at all would you spend your SEO money better for 2012?
