How to Spend Your SEO Budget

[Webnauts]

These days, if you would like to have a quality, professional-looking site, you can't neglect the SEO factor. Being friendly to the search engines has become a must. But how do you properly distribute your SEO budget to make sure it won't be wasted?

Time has made its corrections to the problem. Advice on spending an SEO budget in 2007 is very different from what the SEO experts might have told you in 2003 or even in 2005.

Nice article.

This article is definitely on the right track. Of course, trying to persuade clients that the best possible thing they can do for their site beyond the normal SEO coding and navigational modifications is to have someone somewhere write new content and make it available on their site or distribute it can be challenging.

When people start tallying up the cost of having content written and then loaded onto a SEO friendly page and then linked in to the rest of the site, they sometimes get jumpy.

There can be no doubt that fresh content and natural links that are from relevant sites and "good" neighborhoods will win the day. (once the site navigation, coding and usability have also been optimized)

Organic SEO by itself is a great way to drive targeted traffic to a site, but many times people forget that usability and proper analytics are what make a site perform at it's highest potential.

Nice article. Short and to the point. The only thing I would add is along with investing in content it is also a good idea to network with other *related* sites and "cross post" or syndicate your content.

Nice job Irina!

I'd be wary of spending to much money on the actual design of the site. Spend the money researching & developing the structure and backend of the site so that it works well for your users & is optimized for the search engines.

Also, I think links are much more important that the article makes them out to be. Yes, content is very important, but if you don't have as many quality links as your competitors, good luck trying to compete with them.

Getting quality links is of course the difficult part of SEO - and the most expensive.
