Great Seo presentation. However, Seo’s differ to what approach we all take and which tools are best for the campaign and not entirely on the page rank.

I really liked your article, and for the most part agree entirely.

However with my experience over the last 25 years, I think you’re going to need a lot of luck to find clients that will actually own up to any benefits and pay you what you’ve earned if you have anything less than a concrete, iron clad contract.

Knowing what I can do in terms of SEO, first page placement with Google, and Link Building I’d happily do the work for free, and get paid according to the results, except past experience has made me a lot wiser.

When a Client pays for an advert in the newspaper, he pays in advance, and not according to whether anyone read the copy or not. So a client should work either work with SEO people he trusts or was recommended.

According to Google’s own statistics, 75-80 percent of traffic to websites originates from a click-through off the “natural” or “organic” search results pages. That leaves only 20-25 percent of click-throughs from PPC. If your online behavior is anything like mine, it’s easy to figure out why: I’m not interested in people TRYING to put their name out in front of me for products and services that have nothing to do with the keyword search I just submitted. My eyes ignore the “Sponsored Links” area and go right to the natural pages.

If you look at how much money is being spent on PPC for websites with terrible natural positions, and even more terrible capture design, it’s very apparent why people have such trouble figuring out the ROI model.

Nice well balanced article. We’ve used Site Surveys by http://www.oevaemarketingconsultants.com which gives you the tools necessary to request, track and evaluate customer input. We use the feedback to make better decisions and increase client opportunities at making a profit.

In addition to Site Surveys we use a Search Engine Visibility product that has some robust analysis (including keyword usage, spiderability, and Robots.txt files and Robots Meta tags) which outlines strengths and potential weaknesses.

I agree that there is no standard way of search engine optimization… that’s like saying there’s only 1 way to bite and apple.

Great article – this is all something new when it comes to SEO services and what to charge – we usually go overboard on our service to our clients and will do a lot of consulting to not only get extra traffic but also give them ideas on changes to their site to increase sales / leads etc.
