Paying for web optimization any good?

Question

I have my website going live soon. Is it worth maybe paying someone to do web optimization to get it high up on google in the near future or do you think this is a waste of money.

I see that there are lots of people, companies doing this.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi Martin

I disagree with these guys as search engine optimisation is vital for your business if its long term business. I am managing online marketing of a multi milion turn over company and the most quality leads are coming from Google. You need to have a proper plan for your seo if you want to get result however remember that SEO is not cheap and also its long term plan.

Good Luck

If you want to spend the money, do it. However, it might take you a few hours a week to continually add your site to hundreds of web pages for free. When you do it yourself, its always the way you want it, just remember that. Do a search on the top 100 directories you can submit your site to and then just go down the list. That's what I did. Also post your site on message boards, only when the topic comes up though or you will lose credibility.and your site can help answer a question. Also if you haven't already submit to all the main search engines. Its all free if you do it. Just takes time.

If you expect people to see it, than yes its a good idea!

You can have your site seen in a month, or six months if you work day and night, because 95% of the info you get will be wrong, or a guess.

Yes you can do SEO yourself but it is not something is learned or taught over night. You have to be ready to put the time in to really learn this area of marketing. Also if it not done i can pretty much guarantee that your site will never be found unless it already has amazing content and an aged url. You do not have to spend amazing amounts of money but you should pay someone to do it right if you are having doubts.

Hello,

well...let me explain everything about how much seo services are effect on the website.

Most of the people thought that link building is a simple task. Every one can build links as many as possible. But how much value the links have and how long it was indexed by the search engines and displaced in the SARP's is very important link building is a simple task. But effective link building is a difficult task. which will drive good traffic give valuable back links and makes your site authoritative. some most seo services are provide this type of effects.

so you have to choose the best seo service.....

Good Luck

Web optimization is not rocket science -- you can do it yourself. Read the webmaster guidelines of the search engines, browse through the forums such as searchengineworld.com or webmasterworld.com. Read blogs such as MattCutts.com

But if you want to pay, then do so. But be clear on what they can do, and whether they will do the right strategy (white hat) as against the black hat approaches (which is basically cheating and search engines absolutely hate). And beware of those who claims that they can put you in the top 10 in x amount of time. They can do that --but in obscure phrases.

Remember, the single most important factor your site can be in the top of Google will always be CONTENT, CONTENT and CONTENT.

If you're going to pay, get their help in terms of link building. But learn how to optimize your site as well.
