SEO stands for search engine optimization.  It is the process in which you take and insert code into the backend of your website so that search engines know what your site is about and are able to index it.  It’s a science actually, but can be learned by anyone.  Most people outsource it when they find out the amount of knowledge you have to acquire just to be a player.  The SEO of a site is the most important part of the site design.  Every penny that you spend on SEO comes back to you.  However if you neglect your promotion you can easily waste thousands of dollars.  The key is doing the promotion the right way and the way that best gives you results.

A Good Comparison

In the past the Yellow Pages were the way to advertise your business.  The bigger the ad you had gave you the best results.  That advertising concept was entirely based on money and not so much on knowledge.  The more money you spent on yellow page ad and local newspaper ads, the better chance of some increased business.  Ads that you take out in local papers only get results during the time you publish them and then someone looking for your product has to find and read it at the same time.  Good Internet SEO is forever.  I will say that again, every link that you get, every ad you promote, every promotion that you design, stays on the internet forever.  Forever is great, links to your site are great, and having a ton of presence on the web is where you make money.  Everything you spend comes back to you if you plan properly.  So now you can think of your SEO budget as an investment.  Investments give returns and your website should promote you better than if you did not have one.  A link building program that helps promote your site is like putting your money into a high yielding investment.  At first it would not make sense to pull your money out but as your money sits the more it makes for you.  Links are the same way, the more you have the more they work for you.  For a detailed look at what a link is going here.

We always urge our clients to decide on a budget so they can promote their site.  Granted some budgets are greater than others and that is understandable.  We would never tell you what you should spend.  For that reason we give people options to pick their own budgets and grow it over time.  Starting off slow is fine if you are constrained by the expenses of a new business.  Over the course of time our programs are designed to be expanded on and you can spend as much as you like.  If you have a larger budget, obviously you will get better results faster.  Being aggressive is good for business and there are always new approaches to good search results.
