The fact that you can't see the value in this is not my problem and personally I've lost over 70K to Russians who have the same mentality only to screw me over at the end because of their bitterness towards the west. So this does not surprise me. That being said - the only time I hear such a statement is from someone who is unaware of how things work in the industry in North America.

You have guessed wrong. I am a Canadian, doing business in Prague.
Yes, there are many things I have to pay up front, just as you have said, but ALL are tangible items. SEO is not a tangible item, it is a "chimera" based on an intangible promises. Just as you, I have in the past spent money on SEO " gurus" and got nowhere.
Smart guy like you, surely you can figure out some ascending formulae where you increase my business by x % I'll pay $ y $$....lets say by increments of 10 %. But hey, as I have said, I can only count $$s I make, I do not even know how to read my Google analytics. So, if this month I gross 10,000, then you get involved for a month and in the next month I make 11,000, then I know your work gave me an extra 1,000. Simple. If you do that and I do not pay agreed to sum, you will stop. Tell me what idiot webmaster would not pay to have the next month hit 12,000 and so on....
and there you have it.
