The SEO I do for my clients is quite basic, yet gets the results. I do mostly small businesses web design, branding and hosting and their business is usually geographically dependent (Glasgow,Scotland etc etc). All their websites draw 'quality' hits and all have made money off their website. I aggree with the post but probably only relates to nationwide or worldwide customers. I also think people who should read this are the smaller clients who either hold on to their cash or don't have the cash for +2K/month SEO. However, they also don't really need it unless they really want to expand bigtime! I do not dabble with the heavy SEO, I would if someone asked.

We have excactly the same picture in Denmark, but it seems like it is "loosing up" a bit lately. More end more companies seem to be willing to pay the amount needed. Few years ago a 50.000 DKK contract were for the large companies only. Now that amount is spent by smaller companies and the large scale contracts are worth at least DKK 250.000 a year. 1£ equals aprox. 10 DKK. I often tell my clients: WYPIWYG (What You Pay Is What You Get). Hi Patrick

I never reduce my price for compromising my services. If someone care too much on the price, they are not good customer, so just let them go. Hi Patrick,
