Search Engine Optimization??

[wazup]

Has anyone ever done it? I've watched several youtube videos on it and still don't really understand it? Keywords, backlinks, etc.

I'm bumping this one more time, I have some websites I'd like to get more exposure, does anyone know the tricks of seo?

Unless your websites are generating revenue, it's not worth it. Even for low competition niches, you have to spend about $50-200 a month on SEO to keep it up.

High competition niches, I've spent in the neighborhood of $10k+/month..
Super high competition, I've seen people spend $10k+/day easily.

What niche are your websites in?

PS: You have to add another 10-20% on top of the above figures for a retainer for whoever manages your SEO.

If you have to ask...

But seriously. It all depends on your target market. If you are in a competitive industry then you will be hard pressed to find effective paid professional SEO firms get you onto the first or second pages of any search engine.

I understand from paid professionals in the SEO industry that the most effective way to get higher ranking in search results is to produce useful content and then have many other websites refer to your content and your page to refer to content of high ranked websites.

But of course you have to makes sure your webpages and meta tags etc etc all have the correct keywords in the right places etc. FAR above my abilities and knowledge. I only know enough to know how little I know.

I agree, top ranked websites have SEO 's who recognize that Google is god and currently the only God who likes to have its clandestine ever changing algorithms for rankings worshipped.
