Need Help, Seo needed for my site

Hello all,
I need help with my small retail website. The keywords aren't that competitive, but I'm getting super frustrated and would like to hire someone to help me. Please post here or email me if your interested.
Thanks,
Jamie

you should read fathom's post on due diligence. if you're really bent on not trying things yourself then start asking people who appear competent, then compare them all....

Thanks for the reply. I have tried it myself, with mixed results.
I just really don't have the time, so I think it's time to bring in some of you knowledgeable folks.

P.S if you pm me, please leave an email address because I can't return them till I have 10 posts.

Thanks,
Jamie

djstreet was referencing the above.

Adding here... I don't do SEO for others anymore for many reasons - one of which most firms can't afford me... I'll clarify that by saying "marketing is marketing"... traditionally, an established company this should be 10% of your gross revenue. In unestablished companies this should be 20%.

How much do you wish to make? That tends to define the amount you need to spend (divided by 5 or 10).

Your "budget" needs to be realistic since "sales" tends to be what you imply you will have "IF ONLY" you had the exposure developed by a SEO.

In this context you need to spend a great deal of your time doing your own homework so you minimize risk of acquiring a dud.

Retail site? What do you sell?

I might be able to help

When creating a marketing budget you should be going through business planning stages. If you're really customer focused it will look lke this:

1. vision
2. objectives
3. goals
4. strategies
5. tactics

after all this planning THEN you create your budget. If you find out you don't have the cash to make the above happen then UH OH, find new objectives/goals....

12 posts and they all repeat the exact same things... I find it hard to believe you have 2.5 YEARS EXPERIENCE, a SEO TEAM and lots of USA & INDIAN PROJECTS with such a limited vocabulary.

i thought objectives were goals; and i thought strategies were tactics ??!?!

u don't think they have seo in non-english countries?

i find it easy to believe that with 2.5 years experience in seo, a person of his motivatedness (vocab aside) would post several offers in this forum. he probably has lots of acquaintances with whom he shares his seo enthusiasm (his seo team).

Gotta love drive-by spammers.
