Can anyone recommend a search engine optimisation company based on their own experience? What did it cost? Has it paid off? Did you use ppc ads before?
PPC ads are the most effective and best way , since you know your dealing with reputable company (Google, Yahoo etc) , you can control the amount and fine tune the campaign.
Most the SEO companies out there most are are just playing up their abilities, the reason is unless you are the search engine itself, there’s no way you can guarantee positioning, its just impossible ( to prove my point , find a company that will agree to only get paid if they will get you a promised position for a promised keyword, none will because they cant offer that), . So you would be paying for an educated guess at best.
Save yourself some bucks, and use tried and true methods to get a good position. The golden rules of good SEO are rich , relevant content on your page(s) (ie. more text , lest Flash), with many (thousands) or inbound link form reputable sites (.edu and .gov are best) , followed by clear user navigation , and frequent site /content change(s), plus facotr in a few months for your site to bubble to the top of the list ..
Good luck

SEO and PPC are such a moving targets, it doesn’t always make sense. Here is some reality: there can only be 10-20 companies on the first page. How much competition do you have for those slots and how much will it cost you to keep them back?
SEO can be short lived. You may be on top one month, but when the algorithms change, you are gone. This can be an on-going investment.
There are a number of things you can do to optimize your sight, but content is king and landing pages that sell are all critical.
If you have more questions, shoot me an email. I’d probably do a financial analysis to really determine the ROI of making an investment. In many cases, it might take 2-3 months to generate the results, and then they are also not guaranteed.
