How well does paying for SEO work pay off?
 

For example: I have a 3 year old site/domain, it's a 3 word keyword (looks-like-this.com) that gets ~1,000 daily Google type ins, I want to get top listing for it and lookslikethis.com isn't up there. How much time/money would it take to get a top listing and does that SEO shit even really work?

lots of factors... not enough info...




.

i paid 2500.00 to someone i know who does organic seo on my mainstream design website

got me first page results for several terms

last year i landed 2 clients who's net to the company was over 40k combined. this year several smaller clients

well worth the investment for me

SEO is definitely an option, but it totally depends on your keyphrase, competition, etc.
On a side note: 3 year old domain is a plus in my book.
But whatever you do, don't believe anybody telling you "i'll get you the #1 spot in xx weeks".

Well who is a reliable company / person to goto about this? And could they give me a quote on the time/money it would take to achieve what I'm looking for? Before having to spend anything of course. It's honestly not a busy keyword and I'm suprised I haven't even made first page results yet let alone top listing.. if I put the keyword into "quotes" it only comes up with 34,000 listings.

if the top spot isn't an authority site its worth trying especially if having #1 for that term will generate you a lot of money. Being #1 for a term isn't always the post profitable position. Of course being 1,2,3,4 and 5 isn't bad either.

For a 3 term search phrase... I would say $900 and 3 weeks.

Then you realize the term is "make money online"

If you pay the right person. Sure it pays off.

Looking for that right person here, anyone know a good person / place?

I went with the little info he gave... and assumed it was an adult website considering the surroundings. :)
