I was approached by a freelancer offering his SEO services. He explained that he will write 2 unique articles and post it to 700 over article submissions websites, social bookmarking sites etc.

I think this will probably increase my pagerank but it will not really bring any traffic if my website has no content no?

He has also offered to do forum postings and insert my website in his signature. Again, how effective is this? It won't actually bring hundreds of visitors correct?

Outsourcing is a business that trust is the first requirement. Business won't grow if you haven't trusted the company that you're working with. This business has it pros and cons, you just need to find the right company, ask for samples and client references so you can decide. There are lots of outsourcing providers who pretend to be the best, that's why you need to be careful and look for the reputable ones.

I suggest to hire a Staff leasing company instead of a freelancer. because leased staff are permanent workers of a company and are easy to reach in case you need them. Freelancers do not have employers so they do as they please and sometimes cannot be contacted for various reasons.

SEO is not rocket science as people talk, This is very simple. Learn by your self and become the SEO specialist for your own website

**createdevelop** · 06-23-2010, 09:27 PM

Gah!! I would steer well clear of someone proposing just this. SEO is not simple, and whilst people may thing that it is easily learned, it is hard to master. If he is offering just to write a few articles and post your website on his sig, I hope he is willing to do if for next to nothing.

If you could do this yourself, then what benefit is he offering? What value is there?

Secondly, his technique is rubbish - forum links are ok for traffic, if they are relevant to the forum, but they are not great for PR. Article submission is ok for links, but they have to be unique articles to good directories, otherwise you will just end up with dupe content.

**tjficklepeople** · 06-24-2010, 05:47 AM

That's why I am asking. I have tried many techniques, posted on forums, submitted to directories, blogs, posted some articles on PR sites, advertised on various social media. None of them seem to be effective in bringing me traffic which will then convert to registered users.

I am getting desperate and considering SEO services. But it looks like it is not going to help. Maybe there is something wrong with my site? Or maybe it is still too early to expect traffic?

SEO is a continuous process and it takes generally 45-90 days to bring the site to top 10 in any SE. If you are not satisfied with the work done by him/her ask your freelancer to send the report. If thats not okay just learn SEO in a spare time 2 hrs a day and im sure ou will be an expert in less than a month by paying 2 hrs daily. Hope you got my point

**seo.vijay** · 06-25-2010, 06:04 AM

outsourcing of SEO for a project has been not successed.
you should go for regular SEO

**robcook** · 06-25-2010, 07:05 AM

I think its not only require to submite your Unique Articles & do some Forum with Signature, but its all matter about your web site, On Page criteria, Article to be in relavant to your site. its very simple method but very accurate to do so far.

**weblover50** · 06-29-2010, 08:03 AM

I would prefer to stick to a seo company rather than a single individual. If he is only offering article submissions and forum postings then that alone will not be sufficient. There is lots more to be done in seo.

Well he's obviously a true "expert" (see note1) if he can do those things.

BTW if he is asking less than $10 (in whatever currency) for those "highly effective strategies" (see note1) snatch his hand off, anything more and walk away

Note:1
That's correct I am being sarcastic.
He sounds like a complete numpty who has read some "blog" and now thinks he's a "expert"!

**snipzers** · 06-29-2010, 12:29 PM

Hi,

I think he is an expert in SEO if he can do it. Get his credentials or portfolio for you to know his capability. Conduct an interview and ask him the overview of his processes and try asking him if he has profile online and history of the work he had with previous employer. Then you will know. Hope this helps.

Trust is the first requirement in the business of outsourcing. If you don’t trust the company you work with, business just won’t grow.

**WSMCoop** · 07-24-2010, 12:14 PM

You can definitely outsource SEO but you need to know what's going on yourself first.

You don't want to get ripped off - so start off by hiring someone by the hour and telling them what you want them to do.

If they are doing a good job - you got lucky and can keep paying them. However most of the time you'll go through many people before you find the one that works out well for you.

**nicolebeckett** · 07-28-2010, 06:39 PM

A true SEO expert would do a heck of alot more than that! First, a true SEO professional would properly optimize your site for good target keywords, THEN move off-site.

He promised to write 2 unique articles? That's it?! 2 articles does not make a successful SEO strategy. It can take months of submitting unique articles (as in, not 700 copies of the same one) before you get some SEO momentum.

Holy cow...stay away from this one. What a joke!

**alliareyes** · 08-02-2010, 03:15 AM

Well, I think creating your own article for your site is good rather than hiring a freelance seo for it. And if you don't know how to do seo, you can research in the web about it. Seo is not an easy job but i bet you can learn it in a matter of time. There are also free seo tools in web that you can use.

**jez** · 08-02-2010, 06:22 AM

Very Few are loyal! and rest of them are chokers! I personally didn't experienced but i seen many of them who called themselves and who are unable to optimize their websites to better SERP and powerful set of backlinks

They are as effective as their knowledge on SEO, because if they dont know how it works, they will fail, and you will get angry. And you will feel betrailled. Read about SEO, test them with questions about the subject, and wait for their answers, and if they know, they will answer correctly, if not, they will fail your test.

That's an easy way to know if they know about SEO, and this will help you to choose the best one.

SEO is complicated, not just writing an article, it's a strategy in marketing, and it has its rules. And also it takes time to get the goals you have. So be patience.

What I discovered literally was nothing short of amazing, a 16 year old named Carol Nguyen actually had become a millionaire by using the internet to apply her techniques and effectively market her way to the top. It's nice to know that she teaches you by holding your hand and taking you through the ropes on using the internet to become a millionaire. Miss Nguyen effectively shows you how to generate money with innovative strategies proven to make selling e-product easier.
