I use Elance.com for all my outsourcing at the moment and am posting so others can give me better ideas.
I have a few projects up for grabs at the moment and i have been ASTOUNDED at the quality of proposals and the speed inwhich they they say they can achieve top 3 rank for desired search term, + the tiny monthly cost, + the "no result no pay"
when i say desired search term i mean i HAVE a realistic expectation, i don't have www kangaroocarparts .com .au and wish to rank number 1 for the search term " brisbane optometrist"
i can't tell you the domain names these people are bidding on to rank so i'll make it up so you get the gist.
fake name: www dot sydney florist dot com dot au
so , after just 4 days i have over a dozen TOP quality ( in my mind) offers to get me to rank for such a difficult name within 3 months.
the general common cost to me is between $150 - 250 USD, mostly from Indian based companies WITH proven .com.au results and i have checked checked checked
BUT, also they are all " no result no pay" , this is NOT PPC, this is organic results.
they say if a deal is to good to be true then it probably is but one of my outsource coders (malaysia) that i have done ALOT of work with and now trust says even at that rate they are LAUGHING.... they will be the best paid people in their city !!!
i have a client in melbourne that uses "a local seo company " ( i'm not sure if its allowed to state them? ) and is paying $495 a month and has not seen any significant results from what i had already done for her.
( at the time she wanted more seo i couldn't do it for her as i was fully booked)
the guarentee of no win no pay is soooo tempting and they have already done it for other ozzie businesses.
anyway i just wanted to start a conversation.
