Search Engine Optimization Book

SEO BOOK

There are a ton of problems with scaling out a large SEO firm.

•

Most people inherently are not going to be as creative or knowledgeable as some of the better SEOs.

•

As the size of the firms increase cost increases exponentially.

•

It is hard to keep good SEOs working at larger firms because they might feel like they are lost in the shuffle.

•

Doing SEO does not necessarily require a ton of expenses or an office. If a person could make $100,000 or more per year working out of their house why would they want to work for a firm for much less.

More Information on Buying SEO Services

SEO Trade Unions & SEO Directories:

Any trade union or SEO directory will have some people (likely marketers) at the center of it. This may of course cause conflict. SEMPO, for example has been ridiculed to death by many prominent members of the SEO community. I do not recommend SEMPO.

There are a few more reputable locations you can look for SEOs at. SMA is comprised of many regional SEO / SEM trade associations which intends to be a bit more reputable than SEMPO. A couple other spots where you can hunt for SEO / SEM professionals are:

•

SEO Pros

– reviewed best practices guide of SEO firms.

•

SEO Consultants

– reviewed directory of SEO firms.

•

SEO forums – much of the information in SEO forums will be outdated, but it is an additional location where you can seek feedback about SEO firms.

People somehow related to Traffic Power made a bunch of fake forums to promote there less than stellar services, but on most SEO forums you will find a few friendly people who provide good answers to SEO questions.

Some of the people who seem like they would be compatible with you may be worth contacting to see if they are available to perform SEO services.

At various SEO forums you will find various different biases, so it is a good idea to ask questions at a bunch of different forums to get a feel for them.
