		<description>An interesting article. IMHO it all comes down to ROI, obviously in making the choice of which SEO company you use will affect this so a lot of research into who you use is recommended. Asking companies for proven and recent SEO case studies (with backup from their clients) is a good way to help define the right search engine optimisation company to use.</description>

		<description>I will say only one thing that its too expensive instead you can hire some genuine indian who will do it for you at very cheap rates with results. For getting more sale always do some research on internet and pay seo for keywords. Foreg. Give them 5 very very competitive keywords for which you expect to get unlimited traffic and sale. Then its legible to pay this amount for their efforts. I like this page and stumbling it here http://lindsayhogan.stumbleupon.com/ so that my whole SEO Group at stumbleupon can share you great post.</description>

		<description>You don&#039;t get in a niche if you don&#039;t know what it is about, take 5 days and make the article and promote it yourself. Than with the 2000-3000 saved, buy some links to kick you off. Based on my experience I would make that back in 6 months easily. I&#039;m staying away of the big numbers. :)</description>

		<description>I can vouch for the fact that a new site requires many inbound links (400+) to rank well within the SERPS as I recently completed some keyword research into several competitors of mine.  

One thing that struck me was the number of &quot;bid for link&quot; websites that are being used.  I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll be aware of such sites.  Typically, you bid an amount and these websites place your weblink on their top 10 list (on the homepage for example) so long as your bid is high enough.

I thought that this practice would be against Googles T&amp;Cs but upon closer inspection Google themselves say that you can buy links so long as it is for advertising purposes (confused!!).  

We estimated that one of our competitors have spent close to Â£16,000 on &quot;bid for link&quot; websites as part of their promotions and they typically spend Â£20 per &quot;bid for link&quot;.

Presuming that such &quot;bid for link&quot; websites are OK to advertise on then Â£5000 for 100 links is very expensive in comparison.  I can imagine Linkbait being a bit hit or miss too.</description>
