Search Engine Optimization Firm Reccomendation
Hello,
I'm searching for an SEO firm that will optimize my site for free traffic. Does anyone have any reccomendations as to who I should use? I have done some research, but there are so many and I'm sure there are some frivolous companies out there.

Does anyone have any positive experiences they could share? I would hate to be ripped off.

In addition, can anyone recommend a PPC management software which does auto bidding based on ROI and CPA?

Thanks!

If you want to find someone really good then read the posts here and identify someone who gives good advice, freely, that you can understand. There are plenty of very qualified people, generous with their knowledge, who give free advice here. You will easily be able to recognize them. Then ask that person for assistance and you will be amazed at what you receive when you pay them.

Also, keep in mind that posts like the one you made above will set you up as a target for lots of the drive-by folks who "think" that they are SEOs. They never post here or in any other forum because their true qualifications would quickly be revealed.

So do some reading here and post several questions about topics that you want to learn about - and about which you have a little knowedge. This allows you to examine the goods before you pay. I have used this method with 100% good results.

Totally agree with Egol. Read the posts from anyone who answers you either through this thread or a private message. You need only click near their avatar and request to see all posts. From reading some of their posts you will get a feeling very quickly on how qualified they are. If their posts are only about begging for SEO work and not offering good advice... you know what I mean.

They should charge $19.

That is the amount to charge for SEO.

Randfish: Ignore the 2 cheap guys and nice lady who posted above. Help me. We will pay you $20 (all right we will probably have to stretch the payments out over 6-7 months -BTW you do guarantee #1 placement for all keywords don't you)

George... you had better read up on the latest in what it takes to be successful in SEO. Content is important, yes, but does not mean a darn if you cannot get somebody to your site to read it... that takes links, links, links (this too may change).

I always thought seos who say "content is king", tell people that to hamstring people

Like "Go focus on that content, and if by any chance you don't good rankings, give me call"
